SEC Eases Rules for Data-Center Bonds, Waiving Risk Retention on Major Subset
3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Aug 11
Summary
The SEC said a major subset of data-center securitizations can be sold without disclosures and investor protections required in similar asset-backed deals.
That exemption includes risk-retention rules, which normally force issuers to keep part of the debt to align their interests with investors.
The change could accelerate asset-backed debt sales by data-center owners as tech companies hunt for more Wall Street funding to build AI infrastructure.
