Digital Edge (data center company) has closed its first holding company financing facility, raising USD 575 million to accelerate the build-out of its data center campus network across key Asia-Pacific markets, the Singapore-headquartered company announced on May 22, 2026.

Structure and Use of Proceeds

The inaugural HoldCo facility represents what the company described as a significant milestone in its evolution as a digital infrastructure platform in the Asia-Pacific region.

Proceeds from the financing will support the continued expansion of Digital Edge's campus footprint across its existing markets, which include South Korea, Japan, India, and Southeast Asia.

The company said the capital is intended to help it scale to meet accelerating demand for hyperscale and AI-ready data center infrastructure across the region.

The closing of this facility marks the first time Digital Edge has structured financing at the holding company level, extending what the company said has been a broader approach to sustainable capital markets activity that previously encompassed more than USD 2 billion in green financings at the asset level.

Lender Group and Arranging Banks

The facility drew participation from a group of institutional lenders, with Clifford Capital, Deutsche Bank, MUFG, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, and Standard Chartered acting as mandated lead arrangers and book runners. BNP Paribas and Stonepeak Credit also participated as mandated lead arrangers.

Digital Edge noted that the majority of participating lenders are existing financing partners of the company, which it said reflects strong institutional confidence in its operating platform, execution capabilities, and long-term development pipeline. Stonepeak, which backs Digital Edge, was among the arranging institutions through its credit arm.

Sustainability-Linked Conversion Feature

The financing includes a provision that would allow Digital Edge to convert the facility into a Sustainability-Linked Loan, subject to agreement on what the company characterized as relevant and ambitious sustainability performance targets. MUFG, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, and Standard Chartered will serve as SLL coordinators in support of that potential conversion.

Chief Financial Officer Jonathan Walbridge said the ability to incorporate sustainability-linked measures over time embeds ESG accountability into Digital Edge's financial framework.

He described this as an important and deliberate step as the company continues to scale its platform. Walbridge also said the facility strengthens the flexibility of the company's capital structure, enabling more efficient capital deployment across its existing markets.

Executive Commentary on Growth Strategy

Chief Executive Officer John Freeman said the HoldCo facility represents the next evolution of Digital Edge's capital structure, extending the company's sustainable financing approach to the corporate level while strengthening its ability to execute with speed and discipline as AI and hyperscale demand accelerate across the region.

Freeman referenced the company's track record of green financings, saying that since its inception, Digital Edge has built and scaled a high-performing digital infrastructure platform across Asia-Pacific, supported by more than USD 2 billion in such transactions, many of which he described as landmark deals in their respective markets.

He said the continued support of the company's lending partners is a strong endorsement of what Digital Edge has built and the opportunity ahead.

Company Profile and Regional Footprint

Digital Edge is headquartered in Singapore and backed by Stonepeak. The company delivers data center and fiber solutions for hyperscalers and enterprises across nine countries in the Asia-Pacific region. According to the company, it currently holds 1.8 gigawatts of secured IT power capacity across its platform.

The company positions itself at the intersection of performance and sustainability, describing its mission as powering Asia-Pacific's digital transformation with reliable, secure, and sustainable infrastructure.

The HoldCo financing is the latest in a series of capital markets activities the company has undertaken as demand from cloud providers and AI-driven workloads continues to drive investment into regional data center capacity.
