PHOENIX, AZ / ACCESS Newswire / September 16, 2026 / 1606 Corp. (OTCID:CBDW) ("1606" or the "Company"
Under the LOI, Prime Tex intends to evaluate a potential acquisition or assignment of 1606's rights and interests under the existing Purchase and Sale Agreement relating to the Project (the "PSA"
Following execution of the LOI, the parties may exchange information reasonably necessary for Prime Tex to evaluate the proposed transaction, including information relating to the PSA, property, existing power infrastructure, generation facility, title, permits and other Project matters. Prime Tex is not obligated to conduct due diligence, negotiate a definitive agreement or complete any transaction.
"This LOI reflects preliminary interest from Prime Tex and represents an additional step in our efforts to explore opportunities to create value from the Project," said Austen Lambrecht, CEO of 1606 Corp. "We believe Prime Tex's stated presence in the Texas timber and sawmill industry, together with its stated plans to expand its U.S. operations, may make its interest relevant given the existing biomass infrastructure at the property. Any potential transaction, however, remains subject to due diligence, further negotiation and the execution of mutually acceptable definitive agreements."
Prime Tex's Expanding U.S. Operations
According to Prime Tex, it has established operations in the United States through Prime Tex Lumber LLC., which has acquired an operating sawmill in Kountze, Hardin County, Texas. Prime Tex states that the operation produces Southern Yellow Pine lumber and industrial timber products and is part of a broader strategy to expand its presence in U.S. timber and wood processing. Prime Tex on their own is setting up another modern saw mill at Kennard, Texas, under the name Prime Tex Inc. Which is likely to go into production by the end of 2026. Both these saw mills produce large quantities of wooden chips which can be used for generating biomass power.
According to Prime Tex, it is actively pursuing the acquisition of additional mills and forest resources as part of its U.S. expansion strategy, and its broader renewable-energy activities include sawmill development and operations, biochar production, and biomass pellet facilities designed to utilize forestry and sawmill byproducts. Prime Tex has also indicated an interest in expanding into biomass power generation in the United States, complementing its existing timber, wood-processing and renewable-energy activities.
According to Prime Tex, it also maintains an investment initiative associated with its Kountze operations through an EB-5 Regional Centre identified with Prime Tex Renewables LLC.
Management believes that, if confirmed, these operations and expansion objectives could provide potential strategic alignment with the existing biomass generation infrastructure and the surrounding East Texas timber market.

1606 Continues to Evaluate Strategic Alternatives
The LOI is expressly non-binding and non-exclusive. It is solely an expression of the parties' current interest in exploring a potential transaction and does not create any legally binding obligation to purchase, sell, assign, transfer, finance or otherwise consummate any transaction. Either party may discontinue discussions at any time, for any reason or no reason, without liability to the other party.
The Company views the LOI as an additional step in evaluating a potential transaction involving its interests in the Project. Because the LOI is non-exclusive, 1606 remains free to continue evaluating other strategic alternatives and to discuss, negotiate, solicit or enter into potential transactions involving the Project or its PSA rights with additional parties.
1606 intends to continue these discussions while Prime Tex conducts its evaluation, with the objective of identifying the transaction structure, if any, that provides the strongest combination of value, certainty and strategic benefit to 1606 and its shareholders.
"We believe it is important to maintain flexibility as interest in the Project continues to develop," Lambrecht added. "Prime Tex has expressed preliminary interest in evaluating a potential transaction involving the Company's contractual interests in the Project, and we intend to continue discussions while Prime Tex conducts its evaluation, while we continue evaluating other opportunities involving the property. Our responsibility is to determine which path, if any, ultimately provides the greatest value to the Company and its shareholders."
Neither party is obligated to complete the proposed transaction unless and until definitive agreements are negotiated and executed. There can be no assurance that the due diligence process will result in a definitive agreement or that a transaction with Prime Tex Group, USA will ultimately be completed.
The LOI is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2026 unless extended in writing by the parties.
Power Plant and Data Center Project
The project consists of approximately 132 acres and includes an existing biomass power generation facility and related infrastructure that 1606 has been evaluating for redevelopment in connection with data center and high-performance computing applications.
1606's strategy has focused on the potential value created by combining existing power-generation infrastructure, available real estate and the growing demand for powered sites capable of supporting data center and AI-related infrastructure.
The Company continues to evaluate multiple potential paths, including development of the powered site, strategic partnerships, financing, potential end-user relationships and a sale or assignment of the Company's contractual interests.
