Cordiant Digital Infrastructure Limited
Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting and Proposed Change of Name
Cordiant Digital Infrastructure Limited (the Company), the FTSE 250 specialist investor in and operator of digital infrastructure, announces its intention to change its name to Corilis Digital Infrastructure Limited, subject to approval by its shareholders at an extraordinary general meeting of the Company to be held at 10:00 am on 11 November 2026, at the offices of Corilis Digital Infrastructure Management LLP (formerly Cordiant Digital Infrastructure Management LLP), First Floor, 63 St James's Street, London SW1A 1LY.
Rationale for the name change
As announced on 28 September 2026, Steven Marshall, Co-founder, Executive Chairman and Managing Partner of Corilis Digital Infrastructure Management LLP, formerly Cordiant Digital Infrastructure Management LLP (CDIM), had entered into an agreement to acquire the membership interest in CDIM held by Cordiant Capital Inc (CCI), the Company’s Investment Manager (the Transaction). CDIM has provided certain advisory services to CCI. Under the Transaction, it was announced that CCI will step down as Investment Manager.
Pursuant to the terms of the Transaction, a necessary initial step in the process of the transition to these new management arrangements is to change the name of the Company. Following consultation between the Board and CDIM it is proposed to seek Shareholder approval to change the name of the Company to Corilis Digital Infrastructure Limited.
The proposed change of name is subject to shareholder approval and the issue of a change of name certificate. The Company’s ISIN, SEDOL and ticker symbol will remain unchanged. Following registration of the change of name, the Company’s website will be updated to reflect the new name, with further details to be announced.
A copy of the Circular and Form of Proxy have been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will be available for inspection at:
