Oct 13 (Reuters) - Singapore-based data centre developer DayOne on Tuesday said it secured an additional 15 billion ringgit ($3.67 billion) in financing from a consortium of seven banks, including DBS Group DBSM.SI and Standard Chartered STAN.L, to fund its expansion in Malaysia.

Here are some more details:
The financing, consisting of a $2.4 billion offshore term loan facility and 5.5 billion ringgit Murabahah facility, expands on a previously granted 15 billion ringgit loan in 2025.  
The new loan will be used to fund DayOne’s expansion of hyperscale data centre capacity in Johor, Malaysia's key data centre destination.
The country has emerged as Southeast Asia's fastest-growing data centre hub, attracting billions of dollars in investment from global technology firms including Amazon AMZN.O, Google GOOGL.O and Microsoft MSFT.O.
The loan was arranged by a seven-bank consortium that also included Malaysia's CIMB Group Holdings CIMB.KL, Maybank, France's Crédit Agricole CIB, Singapore's Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp OCBC.SI and United Overseas Bank UOBH.SI.
