CDC has today announced its three existing shareholders have signed a deal to support its continued growth. We are proud to manage the interests of all three shareholders - Infratil, Future Fund and Commonwealth Superannuation Corporation - and congratulate all three on a successful outcome. The strong interest shown in CDC as part of the process highlights the continued tailwinds of the data centre industry and is a testament to the outstanding performance of the CDC Management team over many years. Details about the transaction can be found here: https://lnkd.in/gRSXMekr #infrastructureinvesting #ideasthatmatter
