 Announcement of the below release can also be viewed at

 ASX Release
 5 November 2026 Response to Share Raid by
 Goodman Group and Digital Realty
 NEXTDC Limited (ASX: NXT) (“NEXTDC” or the “Company”) notes the aftermarket
 share raid on NEXTDC by Ackland Investments No.1 Pty Limited as trustee for the
 Ackland Investments No.1 Trust (“Ackland”), a vehicle owned in equal shares by
 Goodman Group (ASX: GMG) (“Goodman”) and Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: DLR)
 (“Digital Realty”).
 NEXTDC understands that Ackland conducted an aftermarket book build on 4
 November 2026 seeking to acquire NEXTDC shares at A$9.50 per share, up to a
 maximum holding of 9.9% of NEXTDC’s ordinary shares. NEXTDC does not know the
 outcome of the share raid.
 NEXTDC notes the statement by Goodman and Digital Realty (through their broker)
 to investors during the aftermarket book build that they have “no intention of
 submitting a control proposal or making a takeover bid for the Company at this
 time, but reserve their right to do so”.
 The Board considers this an opportunistic move by Goodman and Digital Realty.
 The share raid comes two weeks after NEXTDC’s 21 October 2026 announcement of
 the M3 Melbourne power delay and revised FY27 guidance, and was made through an
 aftermarket book build open only to institutional investors.
 The Board is not in possession of any takeover proposal at this time. Any bona
 fide approaches will be considered by the Board on their merits and in the best
 interests of all NEXTDC shareholders. At this time, NEXTDC shareholders do not
 need to take any action in relation to this announcement.
 NEXTDC is mindful of its continuous disclosure obligations and will keep the
 market informed of any further developments in compliance with those
 obligations.
 The Company has appointed Barrenjoey Advisory Pty Limited and UBS Securities
 Australia Limited as its joint lead financial advisers and Cadence Advisory as
 its independent financial adviser. Mallesons is acting as its legal adviser.
 Authorised for release by the Board of NEXTDC Limited.
