SINGAPORE, Dec. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- GDS International ("GDSI"), a leading data center pioneer headquartered in Singapore, today announced that it has entered into amendments to the definitive agreements for the Series B Convertible Preferred Shares new issue initially announced on October 29, 2024, as a result of which the new issue has been upsized from US$1.0 billion to US$1.2 billion at the same pre-money equity valuation.

The upsize was mainly committed by renowned new investors, including the SoftBank Vision Fund and Kenneth Griffin, CEO of Citadel. With the addition of the Series B proceeds, GDSI expects to have sufficient equity to capitalize the development of over 1 GW of total data center capacity.
