Shares of Willow Lane Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ:WLAC) jumped 9% on Wednesday after Boost Run, the business it intends to combine with, announced a $1.44 billion purchase agreement with Dell Technologies. The accord is structured to supply Boost Run with hardware and software to serve enterprise artificial intelligence needs and to expand capacity across its colocation footprint.
The transaction was revealed in advance of the proposed merger between Boost Run and Willow Lane. When the business combination is completed, the combined company is expected to list under the ticker symbol "BRUN."
Boost Run and Dell Technologies are broadening a strategic partnership to support coordinated infrastructure deployment programs aimed at growing enterprise AI capacity. As part of the expanded arrangement, Boost Run has enhanced its financing relationship with Dell Financial Services to allow for flexible capital deployment timed to customer contract schedules.
According to Boost Run leadership, the agreement represents a pivotal step for the firm. Company chief executive Andrew Karos said the pact with Dell Technologies is a defining moment and emphasized that enterprise customers are seeking dedicated, compliant, high-performance AI infrastructure. He said the expanded partnership supplies the scale, hardware, software and financing structure necessary to meet those client requirements.
Boost Run provides scalable cloud infrastructure tailored for enterprise AI and high-performance computing workloads. Its platform offers GPU compute, CPU nodes, managed Kubernetes orchestration, and shared storage. The company maintains compliance certifications, including SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, ISO 27001, and ISO 27701.
The announcement feeds into the timeline for the proposed business combination with Willow Lane, which plans to complete its listing process following the merger. The combined entity is expected to operate under the BRUN ticker once the deal closes.
While the deal is framed around accelerating enterprise AI capacity, it also establishes a financing pathway through Dell Financial Services that is aligned with customer contract timing. That structure is positioned to support capital deployment for infrastructure growth tied to corporate customer commitments.
