In the Media Statement, Goodman and Digital Realty say they “look forward to a potential collaboration with the NEXTDC board and management”. NEXTDC has not received any formal communication from Goodman or Digital Realty in relation to the Media Statement. The Board has not received any proposal from Goodman, Digital Realty or Ackland, and is not in possession of any takeover proposal at this time.
