Singapore-headquartered data center platform Digital Edge today announced it has successfully closed its inaugural US$ 575 million holding company (HoldCo) financing which can be converted into a Sustainability-Linked Loan, to support the expansion across its footprint in South Korea, Japan, India and South East Asia.
A consortium of its existing financing partners acted as mandated lead arrangers including Clifford Capital, Deutsche Bank, MUFG, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation and Standard Chartered, as well as BNP Paribas and Stonepeak Credit.
The Sustainability-Linked Loan (SLL) is supported by MUFG, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation and Standard Chartered.
“Since our inception, we have built and scaled a high-performing digital infrastructure platform across Asia-Pacific, supported by more than US$2 billion in green financing – many establishing landmark transactions in their markets,” said John Freeman, Chief Executive Officer of Digital Edge. “This HoldCo facility represents the next evolution of our capital structure, extending our sustainable financing approach to the corporate level while strengthening our ability to execute with speed and discipline as AI and hyperscale demand accelerates across the region. The continued support of our lending partners is a strong endorsement of what we have built and the opportunity ahead.”
Backed by Stonepeak, the company delivers data centers and fiber solutions for hyperscalers and enterprises across nine countries in Asia Pacific with 1.8GW of secured IT power.
