Olenox Industries said it closed its Equity Purchase Agreement dated October 19, 2026, acquiring IPD Industries and Wildboy Holdings from Odin International and Wildboy Industries for total consideration of $22.0 million, paid mainly in common and Series F Preferred Stock. The company says the deals add natural gas assets in British Columbia and a registered 100 MW power-development platform in Texas, supporting its gas-to-power-to-compute strategy; the filing also notes the new securities are unregistered and convertible into common stock, which could dilute existing holders.
Total consideration of $22.0 million includes 700,000 common shares valued at $1.00 each, 210,000 Series F Preferred shares, and $300,000 cash, less acquired debt and transaction expenses.
The October 20, 2026 press release gives the purchase price as US$21.7 million, consisting almost entirely of Series F Preferred Stock.
Wildboy assets include a natural gas processing facility with capacity of up to 144 million cubic feet per day and proved developed reserves of 56.8 billion cubic feet per an independent report dated September 30, 2026.

Ashford Hospitality Trust said its advisor, Ashford Inc., will waive about $17 million of advisory fees over six months from November 2026 through April 2027, and agreed to buy 2.5% of the company's outstanding common stock each quarter in the open market. The company also terminated its $100 million at-the-market equity program, so it no longer has a way to sell new shares through that program. The company says the moves are intended to strengthen liquidity and align the advisor's interests with stockholders.
Fee waiver covers about $17 million, or about $2.60 per common share, for the six months through April 2027, and the waived fees will not become payable.
