据知情人士透露，由英伟达公司支持的印度尼西亚人工智能基础设施平台Lee and Kari Lindberg Zankore正在向更广泛的市场联合发行一笔31亿美元贷款，这增加了亚洲人工智能建设热潮的融资热潮。
Lee and Kari Lindberg Zankore, an Indonesian artificial intelligence infrastructure platform backed by Nvidia Corp., is syndicating a $3.1 billion loan to the broader market, according to people familiar with the matter, adding to a flurry of financing for Asia’s AI buildout.
知情人士称，这笔为期五年的贷款用于资助Zankore新AI工厂采购图形处理器，将按担保隔夜融资利率（SOFR）加330个基点的利差支付利息。这些人士因讨论私人事务而要求不具名。大华银行有限公司和花旗集团是五家原始承销商中的两家，正在推销该交易，其他银行受邀在高级阶段作为承销商或簿记管理人加入。
The five-year loan, which funds the purchase of graphics processing units for Zankore’s new AI factory, will pay an interest margin of 330 basis points over the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing private matters. United Overseas Bank Ltd. and Citigroup Inc. are among the five original underwriters marketing the deal, with other banks invited to join in the senior phase as underwriters or bookrunners, the people said.
花旗集团拒绝置评，大华银行和Zankore未立即回应置评请求。
Citigroup declined to comment, while UOB and Zankore didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.
这笔交易增加了支持亚洲人工智能基础设施繁荣的债务融资浪潮，因为区域性贷款机构越来越多地将目光投向数据中心建设之外的GPU融资领域。穆迪评级预计，未来五年数据中心相关投资将至少达到3万亿美元，即使投资者正在审视高企的AI估值。
The deal adds to a wave of debt financing backing Asia’s AI infrastructure boom, as regional lenders increasingly look beyond data center construction to financing GPUs. Moody’s Ratings expects at least $3 trillion of data center-related investment over the next five years, even as investors scrutinize lofty AI valuations.
黑石集团旗下的AirTrunk为悉尼数据中心园区获得了一笔42.5亿澳元（约30亿美元）的绿色贷款，而蓝猫头鹰资本旗下的Stack Infrastructure Inc.正在为墨尔本的建设项目寻求一笔86亿澳元的融资。
Blackstone-owned AirTrunk secured a A$4.25 billion ($3 billion) green loan for a Sydney data center campus, while Blue Owl Capital-owned Stack Infrastructure Inc. is seeking a A$8.6 billion facility for a buildout in Melbourne.
知情人士称，Zankore的融资得到了与英伟达签署的为期六年合同的支持，该合同包含收入分成和信用支持，有助于降低贷款人的还款风险。他们表示，该安排适用于初始100兆瓦产能中任何未售出的算力。
Zankore’s financing is supported by a six-year contract with Nvidia that includes revenue sharing and credit support, helping reduce lenders’ repayment risk, the people said. The arrangement applies to any unsold compute capacity from an initial 100 megawatts, they said.
知情人士补充称，美国金融科技公司是受让方，从Zankore购买GPU算力。
US fintech companies are the offtakers, buying GPU compute capacity from Zankore, the people added.
