Digital 9 Infrastructure switches auditors ahead of wind-down

Digital 9 Infrastructure plc, an investment trust listed on the London Stock Exchange (LSE: DGI9) and incorporated in Jersey, has appointed Johnston Carmichael LLP as its external auditor for the financial year ending December 31, 2026. The change follows PwC’s departure from the role on September 3, 2024, following a competitive tender process. Under Jersey’s Companies (Jersey) Law 1991, PwC confirmed no material circumstances related to its exit that warranted disclosure to shareholders or creditors. Johnston Carmichael, a recognized auditor by the Jersey Financial Services Commission, will oversee the trust’s financial reporting for the next year, pending shareholder approval at the 2027 annual general meeting (AGM). The company, which has an investment objective of executing an orderly wind-down of its portfolio, has previously engaged InfraRed Capital Partners in advisory and management roles, including its appointment as an Alternative Investment Fund Manager on December 11, 2024. PwC had served as Digital 9 Infrastructure’s auditor since March 2021.
