This one arrived in a vote tally. At 9:00AM Eastern Time on Thursday, August 27th, st-ockholders of Healthy Choice Wellness Corp. (NYSE American: HCWC) met in a special session. Every proposal connected to the proposed merger with Host Digital Infrastructure LLC passed, satisfying a key closing condition. The contrast is striking. HCWC operates natural and organic grocery stores. Host Digital develops, owns, and operates U.S. data centers focused on artificial intelligence and high-performance computing. Subject to the remaining conditions, the companies expect to close in September 2026. At closing, former Host Digital members are expected to own approximately 96% of HCWC’s outstanding Class A common st-ock. Host Digital would become a wholly owned subsidiary, and the combined company expects to trade on the NYSE American as HOST, subject to exchange approval. The all-share merger agreement, signed May 27th, uses a $425Mn base price and an applicable HCWC share price of $0.27 to calculate the base st-ock consideration. HCWC announced its definitive proxy and meeting date on August 7th. Chief Executive Jeffrey Holman called the filing, “an important milestone in this transaction.” Then came the detail that gave the pivot its weight. Host Digital entered into a 15-year, take-or-pay lease covering 43 megawatts of critical IT load at its northeast Oklahoma facility. The tenant was described as one of the world’s largest privately held cloud infrastructure companies. The lease represents approximately $1.25Bn over its initial term and approximately $3.2Bn if every renewal is exercised over 30 years. Delivery is expected during the first half of 2027. These figures reflect the value of the agreement over time, rather than revenue recognized at signing. If the transaction closes and the facility is delivered, HCWC would gain exposure to a long-duration data center agreement unlike anything in its current grocery business. Company Details: Healthy Choice Wellness Corp. (NYSE American: HCWC) HCWC operates six natural and organic grocery banners: GreenAcres Market, Greens Natural Foods, Ada’s Natural Market, Paradise Health & Nutrition, Ellwood Thompson’s Local Market and Mother Earth’s Storehouse. Together, they account for 19 locations across six states and approximately $78Mn in reported 2025 revenue. The merger would reshape the parent while grocery continues as a division. Leadership has discussed using the combined company’s financing and technology resources to support the stores, but has not detailed future funding allocations. Find More Sources: HCWC Website The Market Host Digital Is Targeting The opp-or-tunity begins beneath the AI headlines: power, interconnection, on-time delivering of capacity on. Goldman Sachs Research forecasts U.S. data center power demand rising from 31 gigawatts in 2025 to 66 gigawatts in 2027. It estimates that only 50% to 60% of the capacity scheduled for the next one to two years will arrive on time due to delays and cancellations. A powered site with a delivery schedule and a long-term customer agreement is fundamentally different from a speculative project still awaiting interconnection. That is the market Host Digital is targeting. (NYSE American: HCWC) And 6 Potential Catalysts Hit Our Radar #1. The St-ockholder Vote Cleared a Major Condition. Every proposal passed on August 27th, moving the transaction toward its expected September close. Remaining conditions must still be satisfied or waived. #2. The Oklahoma Facility Has a Signed 15-Year Lease. The take-or-pay agreement covers 43 megawatts and represents approximately $1.25Bn over the initial term, or approximately $3.2Bn if all renewals are exercised. Those figures depend on delivery and performance. #3. Experienced Leadership Is Expected to Arrive. Harmol Samra is expected to become chief executive and Shawn Matthews chairman. Their backgrounds include ICONIQ Capital, Starwood Capital, IPI Partners, and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. #4. The Grocery Network Is Expected to Continue. All 19 locations are expected to retain their branding and management. Leadership has discussed leveraging Host Digital’s revenue potential, access to financing, and AI capabilities to support the stores, but capital allocation remains undetermined. #5. The Merger Uses a $425Mn Base Value. The May 27th agreement uses a reference price of $0.27 per HCWC share to determine the base st-ock consideration. Former Host Digital members are expected to own approximately 96% after closing, making the ownership shift and dilution essential context. #6. The Reverse Split Produces a Smaller Share Count. HCWC’s Q2 filing reported 29.89Mn Class A shares as of June 30th and approximately 2.57M additional shares issued in August. The 1-for-35 reverse split implies roughly 927,000 shares afterward, before fractional rounding and later issuances. Split-adjusted trading is expected to commence on Monday, August 31st, under HCWC. What To Watch Next Two periods matter: September 2026, when the merger is expected to close, and the first half of 2027, when Host Digital expects to deliver the Oklahoma capacity. Between them sit the remaining conditions, exchange approval, expected name and ticker changes, project financing, facility completion, and the work of turning a lease into operating infrastructure and recognized revenue. HCWC has cleared the vote. The build is the next act. Companies rarely attempt to change their identity this completely in a single quarter. HCWC is worth putting on your radar, but the transformation remains conditional until the merger closes and the project is delivered. We're initiating coverage on Healthy Choice Wellness Corp.
