(RTTNews) - GDS Holdings Ltd. (GDS), a developer and operator of high-performance data centers, on Tuesday said it has entered into definitive agreements with DayOne Data Centers Ltd.
Under the agreements, DayOne will repurchase ordinary shares held by GDS for approximately $385 million at a price matching its recently announced Series C convertible preferred share issuance.
The company said the transaction will allow it to recycle about 95% of its principal investment in DayOne at a nearly 6.5x multiple of invested capital.
The company will retain a minority stake valued at more than $2.2 billion based on the Series C pricing.
The company said it plans to reallocate the proceeds toward new investment opportunities with attractive return potential in its core China data center business.
