"Digital infrastructure" refers to the critical infrastructure
required for the internet to operate and, essentially, refers to
everything from fibre networks that connect continents, businesses

that carry data traffic wirelessly to the end user.
The Company is focused on the provision of Digital
Infrastructure integrated with green and cleaner power in line with
UN Sustainable Development Goal 9: "Build resilient infrastructure,
promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster
innovation".
The Company's portfolio will comprise future proofed,
non-legacy, scalable platforms and technologies including (but not
limited to) subsea fibre, data centres, terrestrial fibre, tower
infrastructure and small cell networks (including 5G).
The Investment Manager is Triple Point Investment Management LLP
("Triple Point") which is authorised and regulated by the Financial
Conduct Authority, with extensive experience in asset and project
finance, portfolio management and structured investments. The
Investment Manager's digital infrastructure team has a proven track
record of over US$2 billion of infrastructure investments and, in
addition, benefits from a panel of digital infrastructure industry
experts with deep knowledge, relationships and involvement in a
combined US$250 billion of digital infrastructure transactions.
The Company's Ordinary Shares were admitted to trading on the

Information to distributors
Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements
contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in
financial instruments, as amended ("Directive 2014/65/EU"); (b)
Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593
supplementing Directive 2014/65/EU; (c) local implementing
measures; and/or (d) (where applicable to UK investors or UK firms)
the relevant provisions of the UK statutory instruments
implementing Directive 2014/65/EU and Commission Delegated
Directive (EU) 2017/593, Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 of the
European Parliament, which is part of UK law by virtue of the
European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, as amended (together, the "UK
MiFID Laws") (together, the "MiFID II Product Governance
Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether
arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer"
(for the purposes of the MiFID II Product Governance Requirements)
may otherwise have with respect thereto, the Ordinary Shares have
been subject to a product approval process, which has determined
that the Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the initial issue
are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors
who understand, or have been advised of, the potential risk of
investing in companies admitted to the Specialist Fund Segment and
investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and
eligible counterparties, each as defined in Directive 2014/65/EU or
the UK MiFID Laws (as applicable); and (ii) eligible for
distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by
Directive 2014/65/EU or the UK MiFID Laws, as applicable (the
"Target Market Assessment").
Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, distributors
should note that: (a) the price of the Ordinary Shares may decline
and investors could lose all or part of their investment; (b) the
Ordinary Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital
protection; (c) an investment in the Ordinary Shares is compatible
only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital
protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate
financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits
and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources
to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom; and (d)
the Ordinary Shares will be admitted to the Specialist Fund
Segment, which is intended for institutional, professional,
professionally advised and knowledgeable investors who understand,
or who have been advised of, the potential risk from investing in
companies admitted to the Specialist Fund Segment. The Target
Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any
contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation
to the issue. Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the
Target Market Assessment, J.P. Morgan Cazenove will only procure
investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and
eligible counterparties.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does
not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness
for the purposes of Directive 2014/65/EU or the UK MiFID Laws, as
applicable; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of
investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action
whatsoever with respect to the Ordinary Shares.
Each distributor (including any intermediary) is responsible for
undertaking its own Target Market Assessment in respect of the
Ordinary Shares and determining appropriate distribution
channels.
PRIIPS Regulation
In accordance with the UK version of Regulation (EU) No
1286/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26
November 2014 on key information documents for packaged retail and
insurance-based investment products (PRIIPs), which forms part of
UK law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, as
amended (the "UK PRIIPs Laws"), a key information document in
respect of the Ordinary Shares is available to investors on the
Company's website.
If you are distributing any class of shares in the Company, it
is your responsibility to ensure that the relevant key information
document is provided to any clients that are "retail clients".

responsibility whatsoever for the contents of the KID prepared by
the Investment Manager nor accepts any responsibility to update the
contents of the KID in accordance with the UK PRIIPs Laws, to
undertake any review processes in relation thereto or to provide
the KID to future distributors of Ordinary Shares. Each of the
Company, Akur and J.P. Morgan Cazenove and their respective
affiliates accordingly disclaims all and any liability whether
arising in tort or contract or otherwise which it or they might
have in respect of any key information documents prepared by the
Investment Manager from time to time.
