SoftBank in Final Stages of Acquisition Process for DigitalBridge

SoftBank is conducting significant acquisition talks with the private equity firm DigitalBridge (DBRG). According to Bloomberg, the announcement of this critical deal is expected to be made next Monday.

Details of the Talks and Market Situation

The talks, which began earlier this month, reportedly entail a total enterprise value of about $3.8 billion for DigitalBridge, including debts. As of December 26, the company's market value has reached approximately $2.5 billion. However, it is emphasized that the final agreement has not yet been signed and that details concerning the timing may vary.

DigitalBridge's Assets and Goals

Under the leadership of CEO Marc Ganzi, DigitalBridge holds approximately $108 billion worth of assets as of the end of September. The company boasts a portfolio that includes notable digital infrastructure operators such as AIMS, AtlasEdge, DataBank, Switch, Vantage Data Centers, and Yondr Group.

SoftBank's Technology Investments

SoftBank's founder Masayoshi Son aims to capitalize on the increasing demand for computing capacity, a driving force behind artificial intelligence applications. In January, SoftBank announced a $500 billion Stargate project in collaboration with OpenAI, Oracle (ORCL), and Abu Dhabi-based MGX. This project seeks to build data centers across the United States.

Additionally, in September, they shared plans to establish five new data centers in Texas, New Mexico, and Ohio in partnership with the same collaborators. These developments represent a crucial part of SoftBank's expansion strategy in the digital realm.
