Digital Landscape Group Provides Business Update

Shares Begin Trading on London Stock Exchange

Positioned to Consolidate Critical Communications Infrastructure

April 1, 2020 [New York] -- (Business Wire) -- Digital Landscape Group, Inc. (LSE:DLGI) (the Company), a global cell site lease investment firm focused on the acquisition and ownership of property (ground, tower, rooftop and in-building) underlying wireless sites, today provided the following update.

"Today marks a milestone in Digital Landscape Group's evolution, as our shares begin trading on the London Stock Exchange," said Bill Berkman, CEO of the Company. "Amidst the backdrop of a global health crisis, our recently completed transaction provides us with significant cash to deploy in our core business, as well as in similarly situated wireless communications infrastructure assets."

The Company controls a pure play portfolio of communications infrastructure property leases. These leases generate predictable triple-net rental streams supported by a diversified, largely investment grade tenant base comprised of mobile network operators and tower companies. The critical importance of wireless communications to all users is even more apparent than usual -- evidenced by surging demand in light of the current global instability.

The Company will continue to deploy capital through its proven acquisition platform, which originates cell site properties as part of the Company's continuing growth plan. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had in excess of $62 million of in-place annual rent, the tenants for which are among the largest international communications companies.
