SHANGHAI, China, May 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — GDS Holdings Limited (“GDS Holdings”, “GDS” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: GDS; HKEX: 9698), a leading developer and operator of high-performance data centers in China, today announced the pricing of its previously announced underwritten registered public offering of 5,200,000 American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), each representing eight Class A ordinary shares, par value US$0.00005 per share (the “Primary ADSs Offering”), at a public offering price of US$24.50 per ADS (the “Primary ADSs Offering Price”). The underwriters have been granted a 30-day option to purchase up to 780,000 additional ADSs. The offering is expected to close on May 30, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.

GDS estimates that the net proceeds from the Primary ADSs Offering will be approximately $123.0 million, after deducting the underwriters’ discount and estimated offering expenses (or approximately $141.6 million if underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional ADSs). The Company will receive all of the net proceeds from the Primary ADSs Offering and plans to use such net proceeds for general corporate purposes, working capital needs and the refinancing of its existing indebtedness, including potential future negotiated repurchases, or redemption upon exercise of the investor put right, of its convertible bonds due 2029.

The Company also announced today by separate press release the pricing of an offering (the “Notes Offering”) of 2.25% convertible senior notes in an aggregate principal amount of US$500 million due 2032 (the “Notes”) in a private offering to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), which offering size was upsized from $450 million aggregate principal amount. The Company has granted the initial purchasers in the Notes Offering an option to purchase up to an additional US$50 million in aggregate principal amount of the Notes, exercisable for settlement within a 13-day period, beginning on, and including, the first date on which the Notes are issued.

The Company also announced today by separate press release the pricing of a separate registered public offering (the “Delta Placement of Borrowed ADSs”) of 6,000,000 ADSs (the “Borrowed ADSs”), at a public offering price of US$24.50 (which is the same public offering price as the Primary ADSs Offering Price), that the Company will lend to an affiliate (the “ADS Borrower”) of an initial purchaser in the Notes Offering in order to facilitate the privately negotiated derivative transactions entered into by some holders of the Notes for purposes of hedging their investment in the Notes. The Company has also entered into an ADS lending agreement (the “ADS Lending Agreement”) with an affiliate of the initial purchaser of the Notes Offering (such affiliate being the “ADS Borrower”), pursuant to which the Company will lend the Borrowed ADSs to the ADS Borrower. The ADS Borrower or its affiliate will receive all of the proceeds from the sale of the Borrowed ADSs and the Company will not receive any of those proceeds, but the ADS Borrower will pay the Company a nominal lending fee for the use of those ADSs pursuant to the ADS Lending Agreement. The activity described above could affect the market price of the Company’s ADSs otherwise prevailing at that time.

Nothing contained herein shall constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, including the Primary ADSs, the Notes or the Borrowed ADSs, nor shall there be any offer or sale of the securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. The Primary ADSs Offering and the Delta Placement of Borrowed ADSs are being made only by means of separate prospectus supplements and accompanying prospectuses pursuant to an effective registration statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The closing of each of the Primary ADSs Offering, the Notes Offering and the Delta Placement of Borrowed ADSs is conditioned upon the closing of each of the other offerings and vice versa. If any of the three offerings are not consummated, the ADS loan transaction under the ADS Lending Agreement will terminate and all of the Borrowed ADSs must be returned to GDS.

J.P. Morgan, BofA Securities, Morgan Stanley and UBS Investment Bank are acting as joint book-running managers, and China Galaxy and Guotai Junan International are acting as financial advisors, for the Primary ADSs Offering.

The Company has filed an automatic shelf registration statement on Form F-3 with the SEC. A prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus describing the terms of the Primary ADSs Offering have been filed with the SEC. When available, the prospectus supplement for the Primary ADSs Offering will be filed with the SEC. The Primary ADSs Offering is being made only by means of the prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and other documents that the Company has filed with the SEC for more complete information about the Company and the Primary ADSs Offering. You may obtain these documents free of charge by visiting EDGAR on the SEC website at http://www.sec.gov. Copies of the prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, when available, may be obtained from: (i) J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, c/o Broadridge Financial Solutions, 1155 Long Island Avenue, Edgewood, NY 11717, or by telephone at 866-803-9204 or by email at prospectus-eq_fi@jpmchase.com; (ii) BofA Securities, Inc., One Bryant Park, New York, NY, 10036, Attention: Prospectus Department, telephone: +1 (800) 294-1322, email: dg.prospectus_requests@bofa.com; (iii) Morgan Stanley & Co.
