DigitalBridge Announces Intention to Voluntarily Delist Preferred Stock from the NYSE

DigitalBridge Group, Inc. (NYSE: DBRG) (the “Company” or “DigitalBridge”), publicly announced today, in connection with its anticipated acquisition by an affiliate of SoftBank Group Corp. (TSE: 9984, “SoftBank Group”), that it intends to voluntarily withdraw from listing on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) and registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company’s (i) 7.125% Series H Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value (the “Series H Preferred Stock”) (NYSE symbol: DBRG.PRH), (ii) 7.15% Series I Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value (the “Series I Preferred Stock”) (NYSE symbol: DBRG.PRI) and (iii) 7.125% Series J Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value (the “Series J Preferred Stock” and, together with the Series H Preferred Stock and the Series I Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”) (NYSE symbol: DBRG.PRJ).

As previously announced, on December 29, 2025, DigitalBridge entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Duncan Holdco LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and affiliate of SoftBank Group (“Parent”), Duncan Sub I Inc., a Maryland corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub I”), Duncan Sub II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Merger Sub I, and DigitalBridge Operating Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Company OP”), pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub I will merge with and into the Company (the “Company Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation.

The Company is pursuing the delisting and deregistration as set forth in the Merger Agreement because it believes that, following the anticipated closing of the acquisition and the Company’s resulting transition from a publicly held company to an indirect subsidiary of SoftBank Group, the costs of compliance, the demands on management’s time and the resources required to maintain the listing of the Preferred Stock on the NYSE and to satisfy the periodic reporting obligations applicable to the Preferred Stock under the Exchange Act are greater than the benefits. The Company has not arranged for the Preferred Stock to be listed or registered on another national securities exchange, or to be quoted in a quotation medium as defined in Rule 15c2-11 under the Exchange Act, following their withdrawal from listing on the NYSE.
