PROJECT FOCUS
EUROPE
DigiPlex, a Nordic leader in innovative, sustainable
and secure data centres, has successfully issued a
NOK 1.80 billion senior-secured bond to gear up for
continued rapid growth. This bond will be one of the
largest single issues in NOK to ever be listed on the Oslo
Stock Exchange and the substantial oversubscription is
a clear testament to the credit story of DigiPlex. DigiPlex
has issued a senior secured bond of NOK 1.80 billion with
maturity in April 2024 at a coupon rate of 3-month
NIBOR plus 3.65% p.a. DNB Markets, part of DNB ASA,
Norway’s largest financial services group, acted as
sole bookrunner for the bond issue.
AFRICA
Liquid Telecom Kenya, part of the leading pan-African
telecoms group Liquid Telecom, has made telemedicine
a reality for thousands of patients at the Aga Khan
Hospital, Mombasa. Using its high-speed fibre network,
Liquid Telecom has connected the main hospital in Mombasa
to seven of its outreach centres in the coastal region bringing
healthcare closer to the community. The roll-out of services
started last August to improve access to medical services
that would often not be consistently available in some
of the more rural communities. This includes online
consultations and diagnostic services.
