This investment builds upon KKR&#8217;s foundation as a leading investor in mission-critical digital infrastructure, and we look forward to supporting the company&#8217;s next phase of growth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nTo date, KKR has invested more than $40 billion in equity in digital infrastructure globally. This investment builds on KKR\u2019s existing tower portfolio including Vantage Towers in Europe and Pinnacle Towers in the Philippines, and on past investments such as Telxius and Hivory Towers. KKR is funding its investment primarily through its core infrastructure strategy.<\/p>\n<p>\nVertical Bridge\u2019s existing sponsors, DigitalBridge and La Caisse, also participated in the equity investment and remain committed long\u2011term partners to the Company.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cDigitalBridge is proud to continue supporting Vertical Bridge alongside our long\u2011standing investment partner La Caisse and now KKR,\u201d said Marc Ganzi, CEO of DigitalBridge. \u201cVertical Bridge\u2019s disciplined growth strategy, operational excellence, and focus on partnership have consistently positioned the company to meet increasing demand for communications infrastructure. We remain confident in the platform and committed to supporting the team as they continue to scale.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cVertical Bridge has experienced phenomenal growth these last few years both organically and through acquisitions, reaching a high level of scale and operating maturity,\u201d said Emmanuel Jaclot, Executive Vice-President and Head of Infrastructure and Sustainability at La Caisse. \u201cSince our initial investment alongside DigitalBridge, the company has consistently executed through market cycles, and the addition of a strategic partner like KKR reinforces a capital base built for the long term and aligned with the needs of critical connectivity infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Advisors and Financial Sponsors<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nCenterview Partners LLC served as exclusive financial advisor to Vertical Bridge, and Simpson Thacher &amp; Bartlett LLP served as Vertical Bridge\u2019s legal advisor.
