Chindata Group Executes Completion of Going-Private Deal

BEIJING, Dec. 19, 2023 -- A significant development has unfolded in the data center industry with Chindata Group Holdings Limited CD, a prominent provider of carrier-neutral hyperscale data center solutions across the Asia-Pacific's emerging markets. The company, which is headquartered in Beijing, China, has officially completed its merger (the "Merger") with a subsidiary of Bain Capital Private Equity, effectively transitioning from a public entity listed on NASDAQ to a private organization.

Understanding the Merger

The intricacies of the merger deal showcase how CD has responded to the dynamic needs of investors and the market at large. The completion marks the culmination of a strategic initiative that was designed to align with Chindata Group's long-term business plans while potentially providing better growth opportunities outside the volatility of public markets. The details surrounding the merger are complex, but the outcome is clear: Chindata Group aims to maintain its leadership in providing scalable and efficient data center services, leveraging its vast experience in China, India, and Southeast Asia.

The Implications for Investors and the Market

With CD no longer trading on NASDAQ following the merger, the investment landscape for those interested in hyperscale data centers is adjusting to this new reality. The move to go private may influence other companies within the sector to consider whether their growth strategies align with being publicly traded or whether they, too, could benefit from the agility afforded by private ownership.
