15 August 2022

Digital 9 Infrastructure plc

("DGI9" or the "Company")

Potential Migration to Trading on the Premium Segment of the Main Market of
the LSE

and to Listing on the Official List of the FCA

 

The Company is currently admitted to trading on the Specialist Fund Segment of
the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange (the "LSE").

The Board announces it is seeking approval from the Financial Conduct
Authority (the "FCA") for admission of the Company's shares to a premium
listing on the Official List and will apply to the LSE for the transfer of
trading of the Company's shares to the Premium Segment of the Main Market of
the LSE (together, the "Migration").

As the Company grows, the Board believes that DGI9 will benefit over time from
the Migration with an increase of its profile as an investment company,
diversification of the Company's share register with access to blue chip UK
and international investors as well as from potential FTSE index inclusion.

The Migration is subject to the Company meeting the relevant eligibility
criteria under the Listing Rules and approval by the FCA. The Company will
provide an update in due course.
