Published

on

AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: DLR), (“Digital Realty”), the largest global provider of cloud- and carrier-neutral data center, colocation, and interconnection solutions, today announced that its subsidiary, Digital Realty Trust, L.P. (“Digital Realty L.P.”), intends to offer, subject to market and other conditions, $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of exchangeable senior notes due 2029 (the “notes”) in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Digital Realty will fully and unconditionally guarantee the notes on a senior, unsecured basis. Digital Realty L.P. also expects to grant the initial purchasers of the notes an option to purchase, for settlement within a period of 13 days from, and including, the date the notes are first issued, up to an additional $150,000,000 principal amount of notes.

The notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of Digital Realty L.P., will accrue interest payable semi-annually in arrears and will mature on November 15, 2029, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or exchanged. Noteholders will have the right to exchange their notes in certain circumstances and during specified periods. Digital Realty L.P. will settle exchanges in cash and, if applicable, shares of Digital Realty’s common stock.

The notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations), for cash at Digital Realty L.P.’s option at any time, and from time to time, on or after November 22, 2027 and on or before the 40th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, but only if the last reported sale price per share of Digital Realty’s common stock exceeds 130% of the exchange price for a specified period of time and certain other conditions are satisfied. The redemption price will be equal to the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.

If certain corporate events that constitute a “fundamental change” occur, then, subject to a limited exception, noteholders may require Digital Realty L.P. to repurchase their notes for cash. The repurchase price will be equal to the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable repurchase date.

The notes will be entitled to the benefits of a registration rights agreement pursuant to which Digital Realty will agree to register, under the Securities Act, the resale of the shares of Digital Realty’s common stock, if any, issuable upon exchange of the notes within specified time periods and subject to certain limitations.

The interest rate, initial exchange rate and other terms of the notes will be determined at the pricing of the offering.

Digital Realty L.P. intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to temporarily repay borrowings outstanding under its global revolving credit facilities, acquire additional properties or businesses, fund development opportunities, and to provide for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including potentially for the repayment of other debt or the repurchase, redemption, or retirement of outstanding debt securities, or a combination of the foregoing.

The offer and sale of the notes, the guarantee and any shares of Digital Realty’s common stock issuable upon exchange of the notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any other securities laws, and the notes and any such shares cannot be offered or sold except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws. Although Digital Realty L.P. and Digital Realty intend to enter into a registration rights agreement pursuant to which Digital Realty will agree to register, under the Securities Act, the resale of the shares of Digital Realty’s common stock, if any, issuable upon exchange of the notes, the registration rights agreement will contain significant limitations, and a resale registration statement may not be available at the time investors wish to resell the shares of Digital Realty’s common stock, if any, issuable upon exchange of their notes. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, the notes or any shares of Digital Realty’s common stock issuable upon exchange of the notes, nor will there be any sale of the notes or any such shares, in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, sale or solicitation would be unlawful.

TAILG Unveils New Product S96MAX at EICMA, with High-Efficiency Integrated Motor and Fast Charging Technology

Published

on

By

MILAN, Nov. 6, 2024 /CNW/ — As the world’s leading electric two-wheeler brand, TAILG launched its flagship new product S96MAX at the International Motorcycle and Accessories Exhibition (EICMA) on November 6. TAILG also showcased its new integrated motor and fast-charging technology, marking a significant breakthrough in the performance and range of electric two-wheelers.

 

Two Cutting-Edge Technologies Create a Buzz

In recent years, the global trend towards low-carbon travel and growing environmental awareness have driven rapid growth in the electric two-wheeler industry.

On November 6, TAILG invited Luca Talotta, a prominent figure in green mobility, as the product experience officer to unveil the S96MAX globally and introduce its new integrated motor and fast-charging technology.

The S96MAX is equipped with the industry’s first three-in-one integrated motor, the Star Ring Magnetic Motor. It features an axial flux motor structure that integrates the motor, transmission, and electronic control system. With an efficiency of up to 95%, it accelerates from 0 to 50 km/h in just 3.5 seconds and reaches a top speed of 120 km/h.

Comprehensive data indicates that the S96MAX achieves a peak power of 15000W. Overall range has increased by 13.5%, energy recovery efficiency by 108%, and motor size and weight have been reduced by 50%.

Another highlight of S96MAX is the Nebula Fast Charging System, the industry’s first low-voltage, high-current, high-rate charging solution. TAILG’s custom fast-charging pile can charge up to 80% in just 10 minutes, with a charging power of up to 20 kW.

It significantly improves charging efficiency and reduces costs, and can be expanded to more electric two-wheeled models in the future. In just the time it takes to have a cup of coffee, the S96MAX is ready to hit the road again.

In addition, the S96MAX is equipped with various intelligent features, including a TFT smart dashboard with multi-screen interaction, 55W wireless charging, and 1080P front and rear HD cameras. This offers a new option for users who pursue high-quality mobility.

EICMA Accelerates TAILG’s Overseas Expansion

At the exhibition, TAILG showcased 12 different models, attracting global clients for collaboration. The urban commuting and high-speed electric motorcycles with EEC certification saw strong interest for partnerships, while the off-road series Y1, Y3, and Y5 attracted much attention.

From product exports to brand expansion abroad, TAILG strategically set the goal of “recreat another TAILG overseas” in 2023. From launching the TLG brand to establishing factories abroad and participating in major global industry exhibitions, TAILG has taken significant steps toward brand globalization.

With the commissioning of Vietnam Smart Manufacturing Base and the opening of Indonesia Operations Center, TAILG has established ten smart manufacturing bases globally, with an annual production capacity exceeding 15 million units. TAILG operates seven marketing centers worldwide, exporting products to over 90 countries and regions, and leading the two-wheeler industry in quality exports.

Regarding technological innovation, TAILG has rapidly built core technology and product competitiveness with industry-leading R&D centers such as the Global E-Mobility Programme Research Institute. It has launched achievements such as sodium electric vehicles, hydrogen-powered electric vehicles, driverless technology, fast charging and battery swapping technologies.

At the exhibition, the renowned American motorcycle brand ZERO unveiled the model Neutrino, jointly developed with TAILG. TAILG is committed to leading the industry’s high-quality development through technological innovation.

As a global pioneer of long-range electric vehicles and a partner of the United Nations in electric mobility, TAILG will continue to develop new energy solutions that lead the way in global low-carbon mobility.
