“We have highlighted lowering our corporate cost of capital as a key priority and redemption of higher cost securities as one of the uses of our recent $500 million securitized notes offering,” said Jacky Wu, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of DigitalBridge. “The redemption of our Series G Preferred Shares will effectively lower our costs by over 350 basis points, from 7.50% to 3.933%, where our investment-grade securitized notes offering priced last week.”

Dividends on the Series G Preferred Shares will cease to accrue on the Redemption Date. Upon redemption, the Series G Preferred Shares will no longer be outstanding, and all rights of the holders of such shares will terminate, except the right of the holders to receive the cash payable upon such redemption, without interest. Upon redemption, the shares of the Series G Preferred Shares will be delisted from trading on the New York Stock Exchange.

All shares of Series G Preferred Shares are held in book-entry form through the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”).
