TINC announced that 50.0% of Datacenter United (DCU) was sold to Cordiant Digital Infrastructure Limited, a UK listed digital infrastructure asset manager. Cordiant acquires the 50.0% stake in DCU both from TINC and CEO Friso Haringsma and as a result, TINC's stake in DCU declines from 75.0% to 50.0%. On the other hand, DCU has acquired the PDC business from Proximus which comprises of 4 data centres spread across 3 locations (Evere, Mechelen and Machelen) for an EV of €128.0m. TINC, Cordiant and Haringsma are providing financing to DCU for this acquisition and Haringsma will be CEO of the combined group which will comprise of 13 data centres and will become the largest player in Belgium. We welcome this news as DCU will now become a dominant player with a potential to further scale-up the business. TINC's sale of 25.0% of DCU has a positive impact of €0.55/sh, implying a cap. gain of €20.0m. We reiterate our BUY rating and €14.0 TP.
