ASX Release
9 November 2026 Response to Statement by
Goodman Group and Digital Realty
NEXTDC Limited (ASX: NXT) (“NEXTDC” or the “Company”) notes the statement
released to the ASX today by Goodman Group (ASX: GMG) (“Goodman”) and Digital
Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: DLR) (“Digital Realty”) (the “Media Statement”). A
copy of the Media Statement is attached.
The Media Statement says that Goodman and Digital Realty, through a jointly
owned vehicle, have acquired a 9.9% interest in NEXTDC at an average price of
A$9.22 per share. NEXTDC understands that vehicle to be Ackland Investments
No.1 Pty Limited as trustee for the Ackland Investments No.1 Trust (“Ackland”).
Ackland’s substantial holding notice, lodged today, shows that it acquired all
75,215,528 NEXTDC shares between 3 and 6 November 2026, and that the maximum
price it paid was A$10.40 per share, on 6 November 2026.
Goodman and Digital Realty also state that they have “neither formed nor made
any agreement on potential further engagement, if any, beyond the acquisition
of a stake in NEXTDC”, and that neither party has “any present intention of
submitting a control proposal, or making a takeover offer for NEXTDC”, although
each reserves its right to do so should circumstances change.
In the Media Statement, Goodman and Digital Realty say they “look forward to a
potential collaboration with the NEXTDC board and management”. NEXTDC has not
received any formal communication from Goodman or Digital Realty in relation to
the Media Statement. The Board has not received any proposal from Goodman,
Digital Realty or Ackland, and is not in possession of any takeover proposal at
this time. Any bona fide proposal will be considered by the Board on its merits
and in the best interests of all NEXTDC shareholders.
NEXTDC shareholders do not need to take any action in relation to the Media
Statement.
NEXTDC is mindful of its continuous disclosure obligations and will keep the
market informed of any further developments in compliance with those
obligations.
Authorised for release by the Chairman and CEO of NEXTDC Limited.
