Verne Global Iceland secures $17 million Accordion Facility

under its green loan debt facility

The Board of Digital 9 Infrastructure plc (ticker: DGI9) announces that Verne Global Iceland ("Verne Global") has signed its first increase (the "Accordion Facility") under the terms of its existing green term loan debt facility (the "Facility"). The increase of $17 million, brings the total aggregate capital commitments provided by the bank syndicate (the "Lenders") to $117 million. The debt proceeds from the Accordion Facility will be used to help fund Verne Global's growth capital expenditure pipeline and strengthens its cash position whilst the Company awaits the closing of the Verne Transaction.

The Purchaser has consented to entry into the Accordion facility and associated documents pursuant to the terms of the SPA. The Accordion facility will not result in a variation to the proceeds which D9 will receive from the SPA.

The triggering of the Accordion Facility has no impact on the key commercial terms of the Facility, which remain unchanged.

Capitalised terms used but not defined in this announcement shall have the same meaning as given in prior announcements of the Company.

ENDS.
