DIGITAL 9 INFRASTRUCTURE PLC
("D9" or the "Company" and, together with its subsidiaries, the "Group")
Completed sale of SeaEdge UK1 and full repayment of RCF
The Board is pleased to announce that D9 has exchanged and completed the sale of its interests in SeaEdge UK1 ("SeaEdge") to Stellium Datacenters Limited. SeaEdge is a sub-lease of a data centre and subsea fibre landing station, located on a data centre campus in Newcastle, at which Stellium operates.
The £10.7m consideration for SeaEdge includes the payment of deferred rent and is broadly in line with the 31 December 2024 net asset value of the investment together with the associated rent receivable at that date. The sale concludes the realisation process outlined to the market in the latest annual report and results presentation and follows a competitive process with several third-party bidders. The net proceeds are £10.3m after the deduction of transaction and related costs, which the Company will use along with further working capital surpluses, to imminently repay and cancel the Revolving Credit Facility ("RCF") balance of c. £13million in full. This concludes the fund deleveraging process initiated in 2024, which followed the completed divestment of Verne Global (15 March 2024) and EMIC-1 (28 May 2025).
The Board and Investment Manager will continue executing the orderly managed wind down of the Company, prioritising the return of capital to shareholders from remaining portfolio company divestments and maximising the value of such investments whilst they are owned or part-owned by the Company.
ENDS.
