TABLE OF CONTENTS

### OUR COMPANY
We are a leading developer and operator of high-performance data centers in China. In addition, we have a significant minority investment in DayOne, our equity investee, which develops and operates data centers in Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia. Accordingly, we derive shareholder value from our consolidated business in China and from our deconsolidated, but highly material, equity investment in DayOne.

Our facilities in mainland China are strategically located in primary economic hubs where demand for high-performance data center services is concentrated. Our data centers are designed and configured as high-performance data centers with large net floor area and power capacity, high power density and efficiency, and multiple redundancy across all critical systems. We are carrier and cloud neutral, which enables our customers to access all the major telecommunications networks, as well as the largest PRC and global public clouds which we host in many of our facilities.

We offer colocation and managed services, including direct private connection to leading public clouds, an innovative service platform for managing hybrid clouds. Our innovative and unique platform of interconnected data centers enables cloud service providers to expand in a flexible way in their key markets, and also enables enterprises to deploy their hybrid clouds in close proximity to the networked nodes of leading public clouds.

We have a 24-year track record of service delivery, successfully fulfilling the requirements of some of the largest and most demanding customers for outsourced data center services. As of December 31, 2024, we had an aggregate net floor area of 613,583 sqm in service, 91.9% of which was committed by customers, and an aggregate net floor area of 102,691 sqm under construction,
