Digital 9 Portfolio Company Elio Secures €30m AIB Facility to Support Expansion

Digital 9 Infrastructure’s (LSE:DGI9) portfolio company Leeson Telecom, which operates under the Elio Networks brand, has obtained a new debt facility from Allied Irish Banks aimed at strengthening its capital structure and funding future growth initiatives. The financing aligns with Digital 9’s strategy to extract value from its assets as it continues through a managed wind-down process.

The agreement includes €15 million in committed funding alongside a further €15 million available through an accordion feature. Elio intends to deploy the capital toward a combination of acquisitions and internal expansion projects. According to management, the business is currently exceeding expectations, supported by stable contracted revenues and strong cash flow generation, positioning it as a key contributor to value realisation for shareholders.

Despite this positive development at the asset level, Digital 9’s broader outlook remains under pressure. The group continues to face significant financial challenges, including recent losses, declining revenue, reduced equity, and inconsistent cash flow. Technical indicators also point to weakness, with the share price trading below major moving averages and momentum signals such as MACD remaining negative. Valuation remains difficult to assess due to the absence of meaningful earnings and dividend metrics.
