About Switch, Inc.

Switch, Inc. was a United States-based digital infrastructure company historically listed on the NYSE under the ticker SWCH, before being taken private following the merger announced in 2022 with affiliates of DigitalBridge Group and IFM Investors; the transaction was completed in December 2022. For French-speaking investors in France, Belgium, and Switzerland, Switch is best understood as a specialized infrastructure operator at the intersection of data centers, connectivity, and mission-critical colocation. The company was formed as a Nevada corporation in June 2017 to hold and expand the business of Switch, Ltd., but its operational roots go back to the development of its early data center campuses in the western United States. Its headquarters are in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States. Switch’s core business centered on colocation, data center hosting, network interconnection, and related infrastructure services for customers with highly sensitive uptime and latency requirements. Its client base included large enterprises, financial institutions, government agencies, and other organizations whose operations depend heavily on the internet. The company built its commercial proposition around large-scale data center campuses designed for redundancy, low latency, and significant power capacity. Over time, Switch expanded beyond Nevada into other strategic U.S. locations, including Michigan, Georgia, and Texas, in order to broaden geographic reach and bring infrastructure closer to key end markets. It also promoted next-generation capabilities linked to data center architecture, interconnection, and sustainability-oriented design. From a competitive standpoint, Switch differentiated itself through a campus-based model, engineering resilience, and a brand positioned around high availability and energy efficiency. The company consistently emphasized Tier IV Gold-certified facilities and proprietary design elements, which helped it stand apart from more commoditized colocation providers. Its market image was that of a premium operator serving “mission critical” environments rather than a generic data center landlord. That specialization supported its appeal to customers seeking scale, reliability, and performance in a single infrastructure platform. Recent milestones were dominated by corporate control changes. In May 2022, Switch announced a definitive agreement to be acquired, and the transaction was completed in December 2022. Prior to that, the company had continued to expand its footprint, including new development in Texas and other capacity additions. As a result, investors should now view Switch primarily as a formerly listed infrastructure platform that is part of the private DigitalBridge/IFM ecosystem, rather than as an active public-equity name on the NYSE/NASDAQ in the United States.
