The company was the subject of an initial public offering on the specialist fund segment of the London Stock Exchange in March 2021.[2] Later that month it acquired Aqua Comms DAC, a business operating 14,300 km of undersea fibre-optic cables in the Atlantic Ocean.[3]
In July 2021, the company invested £50 million in a project to establish a new intercontinental subsea cable and terrestrial fibre system between the middle east and India, to be known as Europe Middle-East India Connect 1.[4] Then, in September 2021, the company acquired Verne Global, a business operating a 24 Megawatt datacentre on a former NATO military site at Keflavík in Iceland.[5] Next, in December 2021, it bought SeaEdge UK1, a business operating a coastal datacentre and subsea fibre landing station near Newcastle upon Tyne on the north east coast of England.[6] It then acquired a 48% stake in Arqiva, the British telecommunications company, from the Canada Pension Plan, for C$585 million (US$454 million) in June 2022.[7][8]
The company moved to the premium segment of the main market in August 2022.[9] However, in November 2022, Investec expressed concerns about the sudden departure of the two managers employed by Triple Point to manage Digital 9 Infrastructure.[10]
In March 2024, it was announced Digital 9 Infrastructure had completed the sale of its entire stake in Verne Global to the Paris-based private equity company, Ardian in a deal worth up to £450 million.[11]
