Overall, the actual 1H performance is very close to the IPO forecast. As for the fifth largest customer bankruptcy event, the manager has entered into a cash flow support agreement with the sponsor whereby the sponsor will provide cash flow support from Apr 2022 to Dec 2023, which shall not exceed US$7.5 million. In turn, Digital Core REIT shall repay the sponsor from time to time from Jan 2024 to Dec 2028, either in cash or units, subject to unitholder approval.
