 9 November 2026 Response to Statement by
 Goodman Group and Digital Realty
 NEXTDC Limited (ASX: NXT) (“NEXTDC” or the “Company”) notes the statement
 released to the ASX today by Goodman Group (ASX: GMG) (“Goodman”) and Digital
 Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: DLR) (“Digital Realty”) (the “Media Statement”). A
 copy of the Media Statement is attached.
 The Media Statement says that Goodman and Digital Realty, through a jointly
 owned vehicle, have acquired a 9.9% interest in NEXTDC at an average price of
 A$9.22 per share. NEXTDC understands that vehicle to be Ackland Investments
 No.1 Pty Limited as trustee for the Ackland Investments No.1 Trust (“Ackland”).
 Ackland’s substantial holding notice, lodged today, shows that it acquired all
 75,215,528 NEXTDC shares between 3 and 6 November 2026, and that the maximum
 price it paid was A$10.40 per share, on 6 November 2026.
 Goodman and Digital Realty also state that they have “neither formed nor made
 any agreement on potential further engagement, if any, beyond the acquisition
 of a stake in NEXTDC”, and that neither party has “any present intention of
 submitting a control proposal, or making a takeover offer for NEXTDC”, although
 each reserves its right to do so should circumstances change.
 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. Any bona fide proposal will be considered by the Board on its merits
 and in the best interests of all NEXTDC shareholders.
 NEXTDC shareholders do not need to take any action in relation to the Media
 Statement.
 NEXTDC is mindful of its continuous disclosure obligations and will keep the
 market informed of any further developments in compliance with those
 obligations.
 Authorised for release by the Chairman and CEO of NEXTDC Limited.
