GDS Holdings Limited reports that GIC-affiliated entities beneficially own 198,206,476 Class A ordinary shares, representing 11.28% of the class based on May 31, 2025 share calculations. The stated total base is 1,756,589,751 Ordinary Shares, which incorporates 51,200,000 post-conversion shares from the 2029 Senior Notes and 97,959,184 post-conversion shares from the 2030 Senior Notes.
The filing breaks ownership among GIC Private Limited, GIC Special Investments Private Limited and Ceningan Investment Pte. Ltd., and details sole and shared voting and dispositive powers for the reported holdings. Signatures for the filing are dated 02/17/2026.
GDS Holdings Limited has called an extraordinary general meeting on February 24, 2026 to vote on a major change to its dual-class share structure. The sole proposal would amend the Articles so that Class B ordinary shares held by founder and CEO William Wei Huang carry 50 votes per share, up from 20, but only on two matters: electing a majority of the company’s eleven directors and approving changes to the Articles that adversely affect Class B holders.
Huang beneficially owns 46,139,704 ordinary shares, or 2.8% of total issued share capital as of December 31, 2025, and already exercises de facto board control through weighted voting rights. The company explains that key Mainland Chinese customers now require data-center providers to be controlled by Chinese nationals or entities, and raising Class B voting power would increase Huang’s voting influence on the two specified matters from about 36.2% to about 58.6%, helping demonstrate such control. Huang and his associates will abstain from voting on the proposal, and American depositary share investors can give voting instructions through JPMorgan as depositary.
GDS Holdings Limited closed a US$300 million private placement of Series B convertible preferred shares to Huatai Capital Investment Limited, a Chinese institutional investor. The shares are convertible into Class A ordinary shares at a price corresponding to approximately US$54.43 per ADS, a 17.5% premium to the last Hong Kong closing price on January 30, 2026 and about 30.9% above the 30-day volume-weighted average price. Full conversion would result in approximately 5,512,072 ADSs, or 44,096,580 ordinary shares, equal to about 2.6% of outstanding shares and up to 2.7% of voting power depending on the share class ratio. Following this transaction and related proposals, founder William Wei Huang’s voting power on certain key matters could rise from about 35.5% to 57.9% based on the share counts at the announcement date.
GDS Holdings Limited is raising new capital through a US$300 million private placement of Series B convertible preferred shares to Huatai Capital Investment Limited, a Chinese institutional investor. The company plans to use the proceeds to expand its data center capacity and for general corporate purposes.
The Series B convertible preferred shares will carry voting rights similar to existing Series A preferred shares, with a 1:50 voting ratio assuming approval of a proposal at an upcoming extraordinary general meeting. They also provide additional dividend rights and liquidation preference, are subject to transfer restrictions and a restrictive redemption right, and will be unlisted upon issuance.
The shares are being issued under an existing general mandate authorizing directors to issue up to 30% of the company’s then-issued share capital, so no additional shareholder approval is required. The securities are being offered under Regulation S to certain non-U.S. persons, with closing expected within five business days subject to customary approvals.
GDS Holdings Limited will hold an Extraordinary General Meeting in Shanghai on February 24, 2026, along with separate meetings for holders of Class A ordinary shares, Series A preferred shares and Class B ordinary shares. Shareholders of record as of February 9, 2026 may receive notice and vote, while ADS holders vote through JPMorgan as depositary.
The key proposal would increase the voting power of Class B ordinary shares held by Chairman and CEO William Wei Huang from 20 votes per share to 50 votes per share for electing a majority of directors and approving changes that adversely affect Class B rights. Based on shares outstanding as of December 31, 2025, this would raise Mr. Huang’s voting power on these matters from approximately 36.2% to approximately 58.6%.
The Board explains that some major customers now require data center providers to be controlled by Chinese nationals under evolving data security and cybersecurity rules. It believes stronger voting rights for Mr. Huang, a Chinese national, will help demonstrate Chinese control so the Company can continue serving these customers. Mr. Huang and his associates will abstain from voting on this proposal at the relevant meetings.
GDS Holdings Limited filed a Form 6-K announcing it will report third quarter 2025 financial results before the open of the U.S. market on November 19, 2025.
The filing also includes an announcement regarding the date of a board meeting. The report was signed by Chief Executive Officer William Wei Huang.
