Boost Run, a provider of AI cloud infrastructure and high-performance computing solutions, is moving closer to going public through a business combination with Willow Lane Acquisition Corp., a special-purpose acquisition company listed on Nasdaq.
The companies announced that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has declared effective the registration statement tied to the proposed merger, marking a key milestone toward completing the transaction. The deal, originally signed in September 2025, is expected to close shortly after shareholder approval.
An extraordinary general meeting of Willow Lane shareholders is scheduled for April 30, 2026, where investors will vote on the proposed transaction. If approved and completed, the combined company will be renamed Boost Run Inc. and is expected to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker symbols BRUN and BRUNW.
Boost Run operates in the rapidly expanding AI infrastructure sector, providing scalable GPU and CPU compute, Kubernetes orchestration, and storage solutions designed for enterprise AI workloads. The company positions itself as a provider of high-performance, secure, and compliant infrastructure for organizations running demanding AI applications.
The transaction is expected to provide Boost Run with increased access to capital markets, strengthening its balance sheet and enabling further expansion in a sector benefiting from long-term demand for AI compute capacity.
Willow Lane, as a SPAC, was formed to merge with or acquire a business and bring it to the public markets. Its leadership highlighted Boost Run’s positioning within the AI infrastructure space as a key factor in pursuing the deal.
The merger remains subject to customary closing conditions, including shareholder approval. If completed, Boost Run will join a growing group of AI infrastructure companies accessing public markets amid increasing demand for compute resources.
KEY QUOTES:
“We are pleased to reach this important milestone, giving greater clarity to the timeline of our public listing. As we continue to rapidly expand our footprint in AI cloud infrastructure, the Business Combination gives us a public currency, further strengthens our balance sheet, gives us greater capital flexibility and reinforces our position as a trusted partner in the ecosystem.”
Andrew Karos, Chief Executive Officer of Boost Run
