The information in Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K regarding the Equity Roll and the Equity Roll Transaction Documents is hereby incorporated by reference herein to this Item 1.01.
Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On July 22, 2020, Colony Capital, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), through certain of its affiliates, and CBRE Caledon Valhalla Aggregator Holdings LP, a Delaware limited partnership ("CBRE Caledon"), completed the acquisition from Vantage Data Centers Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Stabilized VDC”), of an approximately 80% equity stake (the “Stabilized VDC Investment” and the related transactions, the “Investment Transactions”) in entities that own a diversified portfolio of 12 stabilized, hyperscale data centers in North America (the “Portfolio”) for approximately $1.21 billion (the “Purchase Price”), subject to certain adjustments. The Investment Transactions were completed further to the previously announced strategic partnership with Stabilized VDC, as further described in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 13, 2020 (the “July 13 8-K”). The Company’s portion of the Purchase Price was approximately $185.1 million, representing an approximate 12.3% of Stabilized VDC, with the remainder of the Purchase Price funded by certain institutional co-investors that signed subscription agreements with various Colony affiliates and CBRE Caledon.
In connection with the completion of the Investment Transactions, the Company entered into a series of agreements with Marc Ganzi, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and President, and Ben Jenkins, the Chairman and Chief Investment Officer of the Company’s digital segment, and their respective affiliates, pursuant to which Messrs. Ganzi and Jenkins invested approximately $8 million and $2 million, respectively, in the Stabilized VDC Investment alongside the Company, the co-investors and CBRE Caledon on the same economic terms (the “Equity Roll”). The amounts invested in the Equity Roll represented 40% of carried interest payments received by each of Messrs. Ganzi and Jenkins as a result of the Investment Transactions. The information in Item 1.01 under the heading “Certain Relationships between Affiliates” in the July 13 8-K is hereby incorporated by reference herein to this Item 2.01.
The Equity Roll was completed pursuant to the terms of (1) a joinder and amendment to letter agreement, dated July 22, 2020, by and among Digital Bridge Holdings, LLC, CC Valhalla Investor, LLC, Marc Ganzi, Ben Jenkins and the other parties named therein, (2) an assignment and contribution agreement, dated as of July 22, 2020, by and among Marc Ganzi, Ben Jenkins, MCG Analog, LLC, the Ganzi Extended Family Trust, BJJ Analog, LLC, DB Aviator Manager Rollover Holdings, L.P., DCR YieldCo Holdings, LP and DCR and Aviator Holdings GP, LLC, and (3) an amended and restated limited partnership agreement of DB Aviator Manager Rollover Holdings, L.P. dated as of July 22, 2020, by and among Colony Valhalla GP, LLC, Colony Capital Acquisitions, LLC, MCG Analog, LLC, Ganzi Extended Family Trust, BJJ Analog, LLC and Valhalla Management Holdings, LLC (collectively, the "Equity Roll Transaction Documents").
