London, United Kingdom--(Newsfile Corp. - February 18, 2026) - Gorilla Technology Group Inc. (NASDAQ: GRRR) ("Gorilla" or the "Company"), a global solution provider in Security Intelligence, Network Intelligence, Business Intelligence, IoT technology and data centres, today announced that it has entered into a memorandum of understanding outlining the principal terms of a proposed acquisition of Shackleton Finance Limited ("Shackleton"), a UK-authorised Alternative Investment Fund Manager (AIFM) and subsidiary of Shackleton Ventures. Upon completion of the acquisition, Shackleton is expected to be rebranded as Gorilla Technology Capital.
The proposed acquisition is designed to align Gorilla's technology origination and infrastructure delivery expertise with Shackleton's established FCA-regulated fund management framework, forming a capital structure to support investment in critical digital infrastructure. Gorilla Technology Capital is expected to operate as a dedicated investment vehicle for institutional capital targeting smart infrastructure and AI-driven assets globally, including data centres, GPU-as-a-Service, quantum technologies, next-generation cybersecurity, and national digital infrastructure. Future funds will have the ability to make investments in Gorilla's projects, giving long-term fund investors access to these sectors while providing Gorilla with another potential financing source for capital and operating expenses related to its executed contracts. This strategy reflects Gorilla's commitment to non-dilutive project-related financing options.
Shackleton's senior management is expected to remain in place to ensure continuity, regulatory stability, stewardship of existing funds, and experienced leadership in raising new capital focused on the technology sectors in which Gorilla operates. The business will continue to operate with strong independent governance, including conflict management protocols and investment committee oversight, consistent with UK regulatory standards. Any future fund distribution will be limited to professional clients and eligible counterparties.
