DigitalBridge Management
DigitalBridge Investment Management, LLC (“DigitalBridge Management”) is a Delaware limited liability company
formed in August 2017 and an indirect majority-owned subsidiary of DigitalBridge Group, Inc. (NYSE: DBRG)
(“DBRG” and together with its subsidiaries, “DigitalBridge”). Prior to its name change on June 22, 2021,
DigitalBridge was known as Colony Capital, Inc. Prior to July 25, 2019, DigitalBridge Management was jointly
owned by DigitalBridge and Digital Bridge Holdings, LLC (“DB Holdings”). On July 25, 2019, DigitalBridge
indirectly acquired DB Holdings.
In July 2020, affiliates of Wafra Inc. (“Wafra”), a global investment management platform, acquired a minority
stake in DigitalBridge Management. Wafra’s investment was made to provide DigitalBridge with permanent
capital to pursue investments across the digital infrastructure ecosystem. On April 18, 2022, DBRG announced
that a DBRG subsidiary had agreed to purchase Wafra’s interests in DigitalBridge Management for a
combination of cash, DBRG common stock and an earnout (which, if applicable, would be paid in cash and
additional DBRG common stock). The transaction closed on May 23, 2022. As a result of the foregoing, Wafra
is no longer the holder of a passive minority investment in DigitalBridge Management and to the extent Wafra
makes a capital commitment to a new DigitalBridge Management Fund it will not form part of the sponsor
commitment and will be routed as a direct capital commitment to the DigitalBridge Management Fund
alongside other third-party investors.
DigitalBridge Management Advisers serve as investment advisers to private equity style investment funds and co-
investment vehicles, a vehicle providing venture capital to a single portfolio company (“Venture Investment
Vehicle”) (together, with the Venture Investment Vehicle, “Closed-End Funds”), funds which intend to invest
primarily in publicly traded securities (“Open-End Funds”), and have advised, and may again in the future advise,
funds which invest primarily in performing senior secured bank loans through structured credit vehicles (e.g.,
collateralized loan obligations, “CLOs”) (each, a “CLO Fund” and together with the Closed-End Funds and the
Open-End Funds, the “DigitalBridge Management Funds”, “Fund(s)” or “Client(s)”) and provides other
investment management services as indicated in this brochure. The DigitalBridge Management Advisers have and
may in the future, as an accommodation or for strategic reasons, also enter into certain separate account or sub-
advisory relationships with clients that are managed according to one or more strategies followed by the Closed-
End Funds or Open-End Funds. Therefore, disclosures made throughout this brochure regarding the DigitalBridge
Management Funds also refer to the separate account and sub-advised clients, unless otherwise stated.
The DigitalBridge Management Closed-End Funds invest in mobile and internet infrastructure, including data
centers, macro cell towers, fiber networks and small cell networks (collectively, “Digital Infrastructure”) primarily
via privately negotiated investments. Each DigitalBridge Management Closed-End Fund typically focuses on either
equity investments or debt investments of Digital Infrastructure assets and/or businesses, as described in each such
Fund’s Governing Documents.
The DigitalBridge Management Open-End Funds generally invest in (1) Digital Infrastructure and related
commercial real estate and (2) companies in sectors such as media, telecom, communications technology, data
networking, component suppliers, contract manufacturers and engineering and construction (collectively, the
“Global Communications and Media Ecosystem”) via publicly traded securities.

About the DigitalBridge Management Funds
As a general matter (excluding DigitalBridge Management’s separate account, certain co-investment vehicles
and sub-advisory relationships), each DigitalBridge Management Fund is managed in accordance with its
investment objectives, strategies and guidelines and is not tailored to the individual needs of any particular
investor and an investment in a DigitalBridge Management Fund does not, in and of itself, create an advisory
relationship between the investor and DigitalBridge Management. Therefore, investors must consider whether
the DigitalBridge Management Fund meets their investment objectives and risk tolerance prior to investing in
a DigitalBridge Management Fund.
Services to the DigitalBridge Management Funds
The DigitalBridge Management Advisers generally advise and manage the day-to-day investment affairs of the
DigitalBridge Management Funds, and may act in one or more capacities, including as a general partner.
In connection with the consummation of certain investments on behalf of Clients, the DigitalBridge Management
Advisers may, but are not required to, employ hedging techniques designed to protect the Client against adverse
movements in currency or interest rates.
The DigitalBridge Management Advisers will invest a portion of Clients' funds in liquid, short-term investments,
such as bank and certificates of deposit or deposit such funds in a money market fund. The DigitalBridge
Management Advisers estimate that the portion of its activities related to such advisory services will not be
significant.
Except as specifically disclosed in the relevant documents (e.g. limited partnership agreements, investment advisory
agreements), DigitalBridge Management manages each DigitalBridge Management Fund on a discretionary basis
(subject to any limitations set forth by the relevant Governing Documents, investment board, general partner, or
similar governing body, as applicable).
Other Services to the DigitalBridge Management Funds
Certain DigitalBridge Management Funds may retain DigitalBridge Management or its affiliates to provide and/or
reimburse DigitalBridge Management or an affiliate for provision of additional services, in which case such services
will be provided on terms comparable to those generally available in arms-length transactions. For example, one
of our affiliates receives administrative service fees which are offset against management fees from a portfolio
company pursuant to a preexisting arrangement with the portfolio company for services provided by the affiliate,
as discussed in detail in Item 5. Another affiliate, DigitalBridge Luxembourg S.à.r.l., a Luxembourg holding
company, provides in-house accounting and administrative services for various investments and certain general
partners of DigitalBridge Management Funds. The DigitalBridge Management Fund will reimburse, upon receipt
of invoice, the holding company for an allocation of actual costs (including salary, bonus, and benefits
reimbursements of personnel and overhead attributable to such associated persons) based on time spent by staff
employed by DigitalBridge Luxembourg S.à.r.l and all direct expenses incurred for each investment. The amount
of such reimbursement is not offset against management fees. DigitalBridge APAC Pte Limited, an affiliate of
DigitalBridge Management, provides investment management services to certain Singapore-incorporated
holding or portfolio companies of DigitalBridge Management Funds (“Singapore Entity/Entities”), which are
incentivized under Section 13O or Section 13U of the Income Tax Act 1947 of Singapore; an investment
management fee is paid on behalf of each applicable Singapore Entity by DigitalBridge Management pursuant
to the non-discretionary investment management agreements entered into between DigitalBridge APAC Pte
Limited and the Singapore Entity. DigitalBridge Spain S.L., an affiliate of DigitalBridge Management, receives
a service fee for administrative services supporting various investment-level special purpose vehicles domiciled
in Spain; the DigitalBridge Spain S.L. service fees are currently offset against management fees.
DigitalBridge Management typically enters into “side letters” with investors in the DigitalBridge Management
Funds, which allow for certain additional rights, including, without limitation, rights to serve on DigitalBridge
Management Fund Investor Advisory Committees, co-investment rights, additional reporting rights, reduced
fee structures as discussed in Item 5, and certain other rights in the event of tax, regulatory, legal or other
circumstances applicable to such investors.
DigitalBridge Management does not currently engage in wrap fee programs.
