Summary

Boost Run, a GPU cloud infrastructure provider already trading on Nasdaq at $38.81 per share (ticker: BRUN), has filed to register 58.7 million shares for resale by insiders and SPAC-related stockholders. This is not a capital raise — the company receives no proceeds from these sales, which will go entirely to selling stockholders including founder Andrew Karos, the SPAC sponsor, and earnout recipients.

The registration creates substantial potential selling pressure: the 58.7 million shares include 29.5 million Class B shares convertible to Class A, 11.0 million earnout shares, 9.6 million business-combination shares, 4.6 million founder shares, and 4.0 million warrant shares. Boost Run's business model carries significant structural risks.

The company owns no data centers and depends entirely on third-party colocation providers (TierPoint and others) for facilities, power, and cooling — if a provider experiences financial distress or terminates the relationship, Boost Run could lose access to its deployed equipment and face immediate service disruptions. The company has no long-term contracts with GPU suppliers, exposing it to supply interruptions and cost volatility. Its layered cost structure (colocation fees plus equipment costs) creates margin pressure versus vertically integrated competitors. Three customers generated 75.9% of 2025 revenue, creating concentration risk. The auditor raised substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern for both the predecessor and successor entities, and the company has disclosed material weaknesses in internal controls. Andrew Karos holds 88.60% of voting power through dual-class shares (Class B carries 10 votes per share versus 1 for Class A), giving him control over director elections and major corporate actions despite owning 48.96% of economic equity. The company could receive up to $132 million if all warrants are exercised at $11.50 per share, but management does not include these proceeds in liquidity planning. Investors should view this filing as a liquidity event for insiders, not a capital-raising transaction, and should carefully evaluate the going-concern qualification, material weaknesses, customer concentration, and infrastructure dependencies before investing.

Added Business model and infrastructure high

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

We operate a distributed network of data centers through strategic partnerships with TierPoint and other parties, where Boost Run maintains four active facilities as of the third quarter of 2025; Lenovo as OEM partner; and Lumen for connectivity infrastructure.

Boost Run operates four data center facilities as of Q3 2025 through partnerships with TierPoint (facilities), Lenovo (hardware OEM), and Lumen (connectivity). The company does not own its own data centers but relies on these strategic partnerships for its infrastructure footprint.

Added Target customers and compliance focus medium

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

Our partnership with Carahsoft expands our reach into government contracts, enabling us to serve regulated public sector environments with stringent security and compliance requirements.

The company targets government and regulated-industry customers through a partnership with Carahsoft, positioning itself as a compliance-focused GPU cloud provider. This focus on regulated sectors (government, large corporations) differentiates it from general-purpose cloud providers but may limit addressable market and require ongoing certification investments.

Added Revenue model medium

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

business model combines on-demand consumption with variable-term contracts, providing both revenue predictability and customer flexibility.

Boost Run uses a hybrid revenue model mixing on-demand usage (less predictable) with variable-term contracts (more predictable). The balance between these two components will affect revenue visibility and customer concentration risk, but the prospectus does not quantify the mix.

Use of Proceeds · Use of Proceeds

Company receives no proceeds from selling stockholder sales; may receive up to $132M if all warrants exercise at $11.50, but does not rely on this.

Added No proceeds from selling stockholder sales high

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

All of the Offered Securities offered by the Selling Holders pursuant to this prospectus will be sold by the Selling Holders for their respective accounts. We will not receive any of the proceeds from these sales.

This is a secondary offering where existing stockholders (the Selling Holders) are selling their shares. The company receives zero proceeds from these sales — all proceeds go to the selling stockholders, not to Boost Run.

Added Potential warrant exercise proceeds medium

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

Assuming the exercise of all of the Warrants being offered pursuant to this prospectus for cash at the $11.50 exercise price per share, we would receive an aggregate of approximately $132 million before expenses.

The company could receive approximately $132 million if all warrants are exercised for cash at the $11.50 exercise price. However, the filing emphasizes this is uncertain and depends on the stock trading above $11.50, and that the company does not rely on these proceeds for operations or liquidity planning.

Added No reliance on warrant proceeds high

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

As of the date of this prospectus, we have neither included nor intend to include any potential cash proceeds from the exercise of our Warrants in our short-term or long-term liquidity sources or capital resource planning. We do not expect to rely on the cash exercise of Warrants to fund our operations.

The company explicitly states it does not include warrant exercise proceeds in its liquidity planning and does not expect to rely on them to fund operations. Instead, it intends to seek additional funds primarily through debt or equity issuances.

Risk Factors · Risk Factors

~29,100 words (first filing)

Boost Run faces supply-chain, power, and colocation risks; relies entirely on third-party data centers for GPU infrastructure; no long-term supplier contracts.

8 Added
Added No long-term supplier contracts high

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

Boost Run currently has no long-term contracts or arrangements with its suppliers that guarantee capacity or the continuation of any particular payment terms. Accordingly, Boost Run’s suppliers are not obligated to continue to fulfill its supply requirements, and the prices it is charged for its products and, if applicable, services could be increased on short notice.

The company has no binding agreements with its GPU and component suppliers (e.g. NVIDIA). Suppliers can refuse orders, raise prices on short notice, or prioritize other customers. This exposes Boost Run to supply interruptions and cost volatility that could prevent it from meeting customer commitments or maintaining margins.

Added Complete dependence on third-party colocation high

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

Boost Run does not ... own or operate data centers. Instead, Boost Run relies exclusively on third-party colocation providers to house, power, cool, and provide connectivity to Boost Run’s GPU servers and infrastructure.

Boost Run owns no data centers and depends entirely on third-party colocation providers. If a provider experiences financial distress, terminates the relationship, or enters bankruptcy, Boost Run could lose access to facilities housing its equipment, causing immediate service disruptions, breach of customer SLAs, and stranded capital. The number of facilities with sufficient power and cooling for high-density GPU deployments is limited, and Boost Run may rely on a concentrated number of partners.

Added Equipment loss and recovery risk high

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

Boost Run’s business ... model involves purchasing and owning high-value GPU servers, networking equipment, and other infrastructure that Boost Run deploys in data centers operated by third parties. These assets represent a substantial portion of Boost Run’s total capital investment and are critical to Boost Run’s ability to generate revenue. However, because these assets are located in facilities controlled by others, Boost Run faces unique risks related to the security, protection, and recoverability of this equipment.

Boost Run deploys substantial capital in GPU equipment housed in facilities it does not control. The equipment is vulnerable to theft, damage, or loss. If a colocation partner enters bankruptcy, Boost Run may face costly litigation to recover its property and may be unable to use the equipment to serve customers during that period, resulting in lost revenue and potential breach of customer contracts. In some cases Boost Run may be unable to recover equipment at all, resulting in a complete loss of the capital invested.

Added Layered cost structure vs vertically integrated competitors high

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

Unlike vertically integrated competitors that own and operate their own data centers, Boost Run must pay ongoing fees to third-party colocation providers for rack space, power, cooling, connectivity, and related services in addition to bearing the full cost of purchasing, deploying, and maintaining GPU equipment. This dual cost structure creates significant pressure on Boost Run’s gross margins and may place Boost Run at a competitive disadvantage.

Boost Run pays colocation fees on top of GPU acquisition and maintenance costs, creating a layered cost structure that limits pricing flexibility and profitability. Vertically integrated competitors (hyperscalers like AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) and other GPU cloud providers with owned infrastructure have cost advantages that allow them to underprice Boost Run while maintaining profitability. If colocation costs increase faster than Boost Run can raise customer prices, gross margins will compress, potentially leading to unprofitable operations.

Added Power supply constraints and cost volatility high

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR → · paraphrased

Boost Run depends on being able to secure power, which powers its data center facilities, in a cost-effective manner. Boost Run's inability to secure sufficient power or any power outages, shortages, supply chain issues, capacity constraints, or significant increases in the cost of securing power could have an adverse effect on its business, operating results, financial condition, and prospects.

Boost Run relies on third parties to provide enough power to maintain its leased data center facilities. The company has in the past experienced insufficient power to service a customer's project. The global energy market is experiencing inflation and volatility pressures; the company expects the cost for power to continue to be volatile and unpredictable and subject to inflationary pressures. Limitations on power supply would limit Boost Run's ability to operate its platform and grow its business.

Added Colocation dependency limits growth high

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

Unlike vertically integrated data center operators that can plan and build capacity to meet their growth projections, Boost Run’s expansion is constrained by the availability of suitable colocation capacity from third-party partners. Boost Run cannot independently develop new capacity and must instead rely on partners’ existing available capacity or partners’ willingness to expand their facilities to accommodate Boost Run’s needs.

Boost Run cannot build its own data centers and must rely entirely on third-party colocation partners for capacity. This creates a structural limitation: the company cannot independently scale to meet customer demand and must wait 12-24 months or longer for partner expansions. Partners may prioritize other customers over Boost Run, and the company has no control over capacity allocation decisions.

Added High fixed costs compress margins high

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

While colocation fees and equipment depreciation represent largely fixed costs, revenue is variable based on customer demand. During periods of low utilization, Boost Run must continue paying full colocation fees while generating reduced revenue, substantially compressing margins or resulting in losses. Unlike data center owners who may have more flexibility to reduce certain operating costs during low utilization periods, Boost Run has limited ability to reduce colocation expenses without terminating agreements and removing equipment from facilities.

Boost Run's business model carries high fixed costs (colocation fees, equipment depreciation) against variable revenue. During low utilization periods, the company must continue paying full colocation fees while revenue drops, compressing margins or causing losses. The company has limited ability to reduce these costs without terminating agreements and removing equipment.

Added Capital intensity and financing risk high

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

Boost Run requires ... substantial capital ... expenditures to support its growth and respond to business challenges. Boost Run has made significant financial investments in its business, and it intends to continue to make such investments in the future, including expenditures to procure components for, maintain, upgrade, and enhance its platform, including costs related to obtaining third-party chips and leasing and maintaining, enhancing, and expanding its data centers.

The company requires substantial ongoing capital expenditures for GPU procurement, data center leasing, and platform maintenance. Additional financing may not be available on favorable terms, and equity financing would dilute existing shareholders. The filing notes the company has pioneered innovative financing structures and expects its cost of capital to decline, but this depends on factors beyond its control including macroeconomic conditions.

Added Dual-class voting control high

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

Andrew Karos(5) | 37,408,018 | 48.96 | 88.60

Andrew Karos holds 88.60% of total voting power despite owning 48.96% of Class A Common Stock, indicating a dual-class structure where Class B shares carry 10 votes per share versus 1 vote for Class A. This concentration gives Karos control over stockholder votes including director elections and major corporate actions.

Added Section 203 opt-out medium

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

Boost Run has opted out of Section 203. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder

The company opted out of Delaware's Section 203 anti-takeover statute, which normally requires board approval or supermajority stockholder vote for business combinations with 15%+ holders. This opt-out removes a standard protection against hostile takeovers, potentially making the company more vulnerable to acquisition attempts that management opposes.

Added Earnout shares issued medium

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

up to 10,968,750 shares of Class A Common Stock issued as earnout consideration, consisting of up to 7,875,000 Karos Earnout Shares issuable to Andrew Karos and up to 3,093,750 shares issuable to the Sponsor and the SPV pursuant to the Earnout Agreement

The company issued 10,968,750 earnout shares post-combination, with 7,875,000 going to Andrew Karos and 3,093,750 to the SPAC sponsor. These shares represent additional dilution to public stockholders and further concentrate Karos's ownership stake.

Added Resale registration high

These registered shares can be sold into the public market at any time, creating substantial potential selling pressure.
