2 |DIGITALBRIDGE 2025 PROXY STATEMENT

PROXY SUMMARY

2024 Year in Review : Scaling for the Next Wave of Digital Infrastructure In 2024, DigitalBridge executed against its strategic roadmap as a fully transformed, asset-light alternative asset manager focused exclusively on digital infrastructure. As global demand for compute and connectivity continued to expand—driven by accelerating cloud deployments, the growth of AI training clusters, and early adoption of inference workloads—DigitalBridge scaled its platform with precision and purpose. The Company made significant progress across all three pillars of its roadmap: Fundraise, Invest, and Scale. These actions reflect not just tactical execution, but an intentional buildout of capabilities to support what we believe will be the next major technology super-cycle. Fundraise – Robust Capital Formation Across Strategies

| ■ | Record Capital Formation: DigitalBridge raised a record $9 billion in new fee-earning equity during 2024, a 16% year-over-year increase. This capital formation exceeded our $7 billion target and represented the strongest fundraising year in Company history. Amid a competitive environment for private capital, DigitalBridge attracted high-quality institutional commitments across flagship and co-investment strategies. |

| ■ | Strategic Mix of Capital: Approximately $5.5 billion of total capital raised came through co-investment, enabling the Company to support large-scale bookings growth at key data center portfolio companies. While the higher mix of co-investment impacted blended fee rates, it enhanced carry-eligible capital and strengthened long-term platform growth. |

| ■ | FEEUM Growth: Fee-Earning Equity Under Management (“FEEUM”) grew by approximately $3 billion on a net basis, reaching $36 billion as of December 31, 2024. Growth was driven principally by momentum across our DBP III flagship and strong co-investment flows, offsetting investment realizations. |

Invest – Continued Demand-Driven Deployment Across the Ecosystem

| ■ | $16 Billion in Capex Deployment: Portfolio companies deployed over $16 billion in success-based capital expenditures, primarily across data center platforms responding to sustained AI and cloud demand. |

| ■ | Portfolio Expansion and New Platforms: In 2024, DigitalBridge announced the acquisition of Yondr, a hyperscale data center platform, and JTower,
