Digital Core REIT scraps equity fundraising plan for Frankfurt facility acquisition

The REIT will now acquire the 25% stake in the facility via debt funding.

Digital Core REIT announced that it will acquire a freehold data centre in Frankfurt, Germany, through debt funding instead of equity fundraising.

The REIT will proceed with the 100% debt-funded acquisition of a 25% interest in the Frankfurt facility for approximately US$140m.

“Accordingly, Digital Core REIT no longer expects to complete the Digital Subscription or the Private Placement,” the REIT’s manager announced.

“The consideration payable will be funded entirely with debt and no new units of Digital Core REIT will be issued to fund the purchase of the 25% interest in the Frankfurt Facility, which is expected to close by yearend,” the manager added.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
