In order to ensure further growth, the management of Northern Data Group regularly examines all financing and other options both at the Group level and subsidiary level. This includes, in addition to possible further measures for equity or debt financing, the exploration of a possible listing of the Group on an alternative exchange and listings or disposals of its subsidiaries. This could in particular facilitate access for international investors, increase transparency and reflect the successful development of Northern Data Group as a leading technology company. However, no decision regarding any such possible measures has yet been made.

Aroosh Thillainathan, Founder and CEO, Northern Data Group, commented:

“The Group has made significant progress in the first half of 2024 in augmenting our HPC leadership position, while also leveraging strategic investments and partnerships to boost our Cloud, Data Center, and Mining capabilities.

In Q2, our deployment of NVIDIA H100 GPUs and successful onboarding of customers has put us on track to execute on our 2024 deployment plan and meet our 2024 financial guidance. We are well capitalized heading into the second half of the year, and are continuing to build sophisticated and scalable operations to support the growing demand for HPC and the Generative AI boom in 2024 and beyond.”
