CELEBRATION, FL, Oct. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Stratum Holdings Corp. (formerly La Rosa Holdings Corp.) (NASDAQ: SRTM) (“Stratum” or the “Company”) today announced that it has entered into a non-binding letter of intent (“LOI”) with a proposed buyer under which a newly formed buyer subsidiary would acquire substantially all of the assets of the Company’s legacy real estate businesses.
The businesses covered by the LOI include Stratum’s residential and commercial real estate brokerage, franchising, real estate education and coaching, property management, mortgage and title services operations. The proposed transaction follows the Company’s October 1, 2026 announcement that it had acquired next-generation NVIDIA B300 GPUs under a long-term lease and would evaluate strategic alternatives for its real estate operations, including a potential divestiture. It is a key step in Stratum’s planned transformation into an AI infrastructure company focused on GPU leasing and high-performance compute.
Strategic Rationale
The sale would allow Stratum to dedicate its capital, management attention and public-company platform to AI infrastructure, including the expected acquisition and leasing of GPU compute capacity to enterprise and AI-native customers. Divesting the legacy operations would also simplify the Company’s organizational and cost structure.
Once completed, the transaction is expected to strengthen the Company’s financial position by removing certain liabilities, as well as the operating costs and working-capital needs, of the legacy businesses, including the trade payables and other specified liabilities to be assumed by the proposed buyer, allowing Stratum to direct its resources to its AI infrastructure strategy. Management believes the sale will be an important step toward the Company’s goal of achieving profitability in 2027.
“This LOI marks a defining moment in Stratum’s transformation,” said Nicholas Adler, Chief Executive Officer of Stratum Holdings Corp. “Our real estate businesses have a strong team and a loyal agent and client base, and we believe that the proposed buyer is the right home for them. Separating these operations lets us concentrate fully on AI infrastructure and GPU leasing, which we believe provides a significant and growing opportunity, while shedding legacy liabilities and putting the Company on a stronger financial footing. We believe this transaction positions us to reach our goal of profitability in 2027.”
Next Steps and Closing Conditions
The LOI is non-binding, other than customary provisions such as confidentiality and exclusivity. Completion of the transaction is subject to, among other things, satisfactory due diligence, negotiation and execution of a definitive purchase agreement, receipt of required governmental, regulatory and third-party approvals and consents, and the release of liens and indebtedness on the acquired businesses. There can be no assurance that a definitive agreement will be executed or that the transaction will be completed on the terms described, or at all.
