Digital Edge Raises $575 Million to Expand APAC Data Centers

Proceeds from the facility will support the continued expansion of the company’s campus footprints across existing markets, including South Korea, Japan, India, and beyond. Holdco financing is debt incurred by a holding company, at a level removed from an operating group.

“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 financings – many establishing landmark transactions in their markets,” said John Freeman, Digital Edge CEO. “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.”

Digital Edge said Clifford Capital, Deutsche Bank, MUFG, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, and Standard Chartered acted as mandated lead arrangers and bookrunners for the transaction, alongside BNP Paribas and Stonepeak Credit as mandated lead arrangers. The company added that the financing includes an option for the borrower to convert the facility into a Sustainability-Linked Loan (SLL), subject to the agreement of relevant sustainability performance targets. MUFG, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, and Standard Chartered will serve as SLL coordinators for the facility.
