**EXPLANATORY NOTE**

This registration statement on Form S-8 ("Registration Statement") is being filed pursuant to the General Instruction E to Form S-8 for the purpose of registering an aggregate of 30,718,359 additional Class A ordinary shares, par value US$0.00005 per share (the "Class A Ordinary Shares") of GDS Holdings Limited (the "Registrant"), of which 22,189,959 are reserved for issuance under the Registrant's 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended and effective on August 6, 2020 (the "2016 Plan"). These 22,189,959 additional Class A Ordinary Shares have been authorized under the 2016 Plan pursuant to its evergreen provisions. The other 8,528,400 Class A ordinary shares are represented by 1,066,050 ADSs ("Returned ADSs") and were returned by J.P. Morgan Securities plc (the "ADS Borrower") to the Registrant, which Returned ADSs are the remainder of 6,000,000 ADSs that the Registrant loaned to the ADS Borrower pursuant to an ADS lending agreement for sale by an affiliate of the ADS Borrower, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated May 27, 2025 to the prospectus dated May 27, 2025, which forms a part of the Registrant's registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-287594). Such Returned ADSs may be issued in settlement of awards granted under the 2016 Plan.

These 30,718,359 additional Class A Ordinary Shares are of the same class as other securities for which registration statements on Form S-8 were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on November 25, 2016 (File No. 333-214800), August 12, 2020 (File No. 333-244736), February 10, 2022 (File No. 333-262615) and February 20, 2024 (File No. 333-277164) (the "Existing S-8 Registration Statements"), but were not registered under the Existing S-8 Registration Statements.

An aggregate of 149,300,360 Class A Ordinary Shares in the capital of the Registrant were previously registered for issuance under the 2016 Plan pursuant to the Existing S-8 Registration Statements. Pursuant to the General Instruction E to Form S-8, the contents of the Existing S-8 Registration Statements are incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement, except as otherwise set forth herein.

In accordance with the terms of the 2016 Plan, as amended, the total number of ordinary shares which may be issuable pursuant to awards under the 2016 Plan initially totaled 56,707,560 ordinary shares, provided, however, that the maximum number of unallocated ordinary shares which may be issuable pursuant to awards under the 2016 Plan shall be automatically increased on the first day of each fiscal year (i.e., January 1 of each calendar year) during which the Plan remains in effect to three percent (3%) of the then total issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the Registrant, if and whenever the unallocated ordinary shares which may be issuable pursuant to awards under the 2016 Plan account for less than one and half percent (1.5%) of the then total issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Registrant.

The Registration Statement relates to the registration of an aggregate of 30,718,359 additional Class A ordinary shares par value US$0.00005 per share (the "**Class A Ordinary Shares**") of the Company of which (i) 22,189,529 Class A Ordinary Shares (the "**New Plan Shares**") are reserved for issue pursuant to the Company's 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the "**2016 Plan**" which term does not include any other document or agreement whether or not specifically referred to therein or attached as an exhibit or schedule thereto) and (ii) 8,528,400 Class A Ordinary Shares (the "**Existing Plan Shares**") are represented by1,066,050 ADSs ("**Returned ADSs**") and which may be issued in settlement of awards granted under the 2016 Plan (the New Plan Shares and the Existing Plan Shares collectively the "**Plan Shares**").

**3.** **QUALIFICATIONS** 

3.1. We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any provision of the 2016 Plan which purports to fetter
the statutory powers of the Company.

3.2. We express no opinion with respect to the issuance of Plan Shares pursuant to any provision of the 2016
Plan that purports to obligate the Company to issue Plan Shares following the commencement of a winding up or liquidation.

3.3. We have made no investigation of and express no opinion in relation to the laws of any jurisdiction other
than the Cayman Islands. This opinion is to be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands and is limited
to and is given on the basis of the current law and practice in the Cayman Islands. This opinion is issued solely for your benefit and
use in connection with the matter described herein and is not to be relied upon by any other person, firm or entity or in respect of any
other matter.

**4.** **OPINION** 

On the basis of and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

4.1. The Company is duly incorporated and existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands and, based on the Certificate
of Good Standing, is in good standing as at the Certificate Date. Pursuant to the Companies Act ()"**Act** "), a company
is deemed to be in good standing if all fees and penalties under the Act have been paid and the Registrar of Companies has no knowledge
that the company is in default under the Act.

4.2. Based solely on our review of the Certified RoM, the Existing Plan Shares have been validly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable (which term when used herein means that no further sums are required to be paid by the holders thereof in connection
with the issue thereof).

4.3. When issued and paid for in accordance with the 2016 Plan, the New Plan Shares will be validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable (which term when used herein means that no further sums are required to be paid by the holders thereof in
connection with the issue thereof).

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not hereby admit that we are experts within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act or that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.

Yours faithfully,

/s/ Conyers Dill & Pearman

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <sup>1</sup> Pursuant to Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the registration statement of which this exhibit 107 is a part includes an indeterminate number of additional Class A ordinary shares, par value US$0.00005 per share (the "Class A Ordinary Shares") of GDS Holdings Limited (the "Registrant"), which may be offered and issued under the Registrant's 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended and effective on August 6, 2020 (the "2016 Plan") to prevent dilution from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions. These Class A Ordinary Shares may be represented by the Registrant's American depositary shares ("ADSs"), each of which represents eight Class A Ordinary Shares. ADSs issuable upon deposit of the securities registered hereby have been registered under separate registration statements on Form F-6 (Registration No. 333-214177, Registration No. 333-235363, Registration No. 333-249704 and Registration No. 333-271499). Estimated in accordance with Rule 457(c) and (h) solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee based on the average of the high and low prices of the Registrant's ADSs as reported on the Nasdaq Global Market on June 15, 2026 divided by eight, the then Class A Ordinary Share-to-ADS ratio. An additional 30,718,359 Class A Ordinary Shares are being registered on the registration statement of which this exhibit 107 is a part to cover the additional Class A Ordinary Shares that may be issued under the 2016 Plan, as amended on August 6, 2020, which were not previously registered under the Registrant's registration statements on Form S-8, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 25, 2016 (File No. 333-214800), August 12, 2020 (File No. 333-244736), February 10, 2022 (File No. 333-262615) and February 20, 2024 (File No. 333-277164). These additional 30,718,359 Class A Ordinary Shares include (i) 22,189,959 additional Class A ordinary shares that have been authorized under the 2016 Plan pursuant to its evergreen provisions, and (ii) 8,528,400 Class A ordinary shares represented by 1,066,050 ADSs ("Returned ADSs") that J.P. Morgan Securities plc (the "ADS Borrower") returned to the Registrant , which Returned ADSs are the remainder of 6,000,000 ADSs that the Registrant loaned to the ADS Borrower pursuant to an ADS lending agreement for sale by an affiliate of the ADS Borrower, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated May 27, 2025 to the prospectus dated May 27, 2025, which forms a part of the Registrant's registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-287594). Such Returned ADSs may be issued in settlement of awards granted under the 2016 Plan.
