Agencia Comercial Spirits Ltd., a Taiwan based importer and distributor of whisky products, has announced that it has entered into two separate nonbinding letters of intent as part of its evaluation of potential diversification into AI computing infrastructure and data center related opportunities, in addition to its existing whisky business.

According to a press release, Agencia entered into a letter of intent with Ricloud AI Inc. in January this year, setting out preliminary terms under which it is evaluating a proposed lease arrangement involving high performance AI computing servers based on the NVIDIA B300 platform (Blackwell architecture).

This letter of intent contemplates an estimated total contract value of US$ 120 million and an estimated quantity of approximately 300 units, subject to final configuration, availability and commercial confirmation. Furthermore, the letter of intent provides for a US$ 3.5 million deposit to be paid within five business days following execution. It also provides that the deposit is refundable if a definitive lease agreement is not executed for reasons not attributable to a material breach by either party.

Based on the Agencia’s review of an extract of the NVIDIA Marketplace enterprise partner directory as of February 3, 2026, Ricloud AI Inc. is listed as a Cloud Partner, with “Preferred” focus areas including Compute, Networking, and NVIDIA Enterprise Software. “The Company has not received any confirmation from NVIDIA regarding Ricloud’s supply capacity, delivery capability, or the availability of NVIDIA B300 platforms,” it said in the press release. “Inclusion in the NVIDIA Marketplace enterprise partner directory does not constitute a guarantee, certification, or endorsement by NVIDIA of any transaction, and does not represent any assurance of supply capacity or delivery commitment.”

Agencia has also entered into a separate nonbinding letter of intent with an Indonesia based counterparty in relation to a proposed land transaction intended to support the development of an AI computing infrastructure and data center site in Indonesia. The letter of intent contemplates a land parcel of approximately 50,000 square meters. The transaction is contemplated to be undertaken by the Company or through an Indonesian affiliate to be established.

The letter of intent includes (i) an initial US$ 180,000 booking deposit for the temporary reservation of the aforesaid land and (ii) a subsequent booking fee of IDR 3,000,000,000 plus VAT (11 percent), each stated to be nonrefundable in case of cancellation, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the letter of intent.

Agencia is evaluating these initiatives as part of a broader review of strategic opportunities outside its core whisky business. “Any entry into AI computing infrastructure and/or data center-related activities will be subject to further evaluation, due diligence, definitive documentation, available financing and liquidity considerations, applicable regulatory considerations, and internal corporate approvals,” is said in the press release.

These letters of intent reflect preliminary terms only, and are generally nonbinding with respect to the consummation of any definitive transaction. There can be no assurance that definitive agreements will be executed or that any contemplated transaction will be completed on the terms described, or at all.
