LOGOS Green Data Center Venture IFC is proposing to invest: (i) up to US$160 million in equity, consisting of (a) up to US$80 million from IFCs own account and (b) up to US$80 million from IFCs Emerging Asia Fund (EAF); and (ii) up to US$300 million in the form of a debt facility (including IFC A loans and debt mobilization) to support the LOGOS Green Data Center Venture (the Venture), a regional venture sponsored by LOGOS Group (LOGOS). The Venture is being established to develop, own and lease green certified data center (DC) assets to address an accelerating demand in DC capacity arising from the region. The most significant expected Project-level outcomes are derived from increased access to data hosting services through construction of DCs in facilities in emerging countries in Asia and Pacific region, which will benefit global digital platforms, including hyperscalers and DC operators that serve businesses seeking to introduce their IT equipment, and therefore, could result in improved business productivity and increased availability of digital services for individuals. The Project seeks to introduce a business model that facilitates access to land and energy, two critical inputs that typically delay market entry for DC operators. Furthermore, the Project will adopt several sustainability standards, including designing DC assets that are more resource efficient compared to traditional DCs, and seeking to power the facilities with renewable energy that have a lower carbon footprint. Beyond the Project, IFC anticipates that, depending on the target country, a successful introduction of this business model could accelerate entry of new hyperscalers seeking to catch up with the Venture's clients, or the expansion of DC operators taking advantage of greater demand for data hosting services stimulated by the Project.
DARP SPV CCM The project is part of IFCs Distressed Asset Recovery Program (DARP) and proposes an investment of up to US$30 million through a combination of senior and junior loans to a DARP platform (DARP SPV CCM) being set up by Collectius AG (Collectius or the Company). Collectius will also provide similar US$30 million funding to the SPV. The proceeds will be used to acquire and resolve unsecured retail non-performing loans (NPLs) in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam (Target Markets), allowing Collectius to expand in these markets. Additionally, IFC is also evaluating a minority equity investment in Collectius to bolster a strong partnership aimed at building unsecured retail NPL resolution capacity across Asia. The expected project-level outcomes are the offloading of NPLs by banks and normalization of the financial position of defaulted debtors who are currently unable to access formal credit. The sale of NPL portfolios will help banks meet their NPL reduction targets and reduce associated funding and administrative costs, and thereby improving their profitability and capital position over time, which in turn may strengthen their capacity to lend. Beyond the Project, IFC anticipates that the investment, via demonstration and replication channels, will increase market competitiveness and integration and likely to have a catalytic effect in the unsecured retail NPL space in the region's distressed asset market. In terms of competitiveness, the Project is expected to contribute toward the entry of new servicers specialized in unsecured retail NPLs into Southeast Asia and the market-wide adoption of best practices by servicers active in resolving unsecured retail NPLs. The Project will contribute toward market integration by triggering the mobilization of foreign capital into Southeast Asian NPL markets as the platform will serve as a model for other investors to replicate as they consider investing in the region.

DARP SPV Altus Regional Facility 0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0.0000          The     p  roposed project is for IFC to set up with Altus Capital Partners Pte. Ltd. (Altus, the general partner) and another strategic investor, the DARP SPV Altus Regional Facility (AltusRF or the Fund), to invest in distressed assets (DAs) in Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam. The total capitalization of the AltusRF is envisioned to be up to US$272.5 million.  The proposed investment is up to US$65 million comprised of US$15 million from IFC, US$25 million from the IFC Emerging Asia Fund (IFC EAF)), and US$25 million from the IFC Financial Institutions Growth Fund (FIG Fund).  The rest of the capital will be raised by Altuss founders   Pavan   C  . Gidwani and Benjamin C. Sevilla and a potential strategic equity investor (The Project). The Project represents IFCs continuous effort in strengthening key Southeast Asia countries financial system. Project-level Impact: 
1) Stakeholder effect for local companies in distress:  provide financing to stressed but viable companies, often highly leveraged with deteriorating earnings and limited access to bank financing, across target markets and in diversified sectors.

2) Stakeholder effect for financial institutions: enable banks and other financial institutions to reduce their exposure to distressed assets on their balance sheets and recycle capital towards new lending.  

Market-level Impact and Market Creation:
1) Integration: establishment of a regional cross-border platform which will increase efficiency, scale, and knowledge transfer, as compared to local DA platforms. Currently, in the largely fragmented DA market, there are only a handful of experienced DA investors at a regional level.

2) Resilience: increase access to long-term equity-type funding, support of the formalization of the DA market in the region, and attract other investors to the DA market. Through AltusRF, IFC will finance these entities to help meet their financial obligations, achieve sustainable growth and contribute to job creation and economic stability.
