AI-DC KOREA ANALYSIS

Interpretation and the following points to verify

Since this is an addition of an operating agreement to an existing development project in the area of 624-3, Choji-dong, Danwon-gu, Ansan, it will not be duplicated as a new physical data center. The 40 MW figure refers to the power supply capacity confirmed in the original news report; it does not represent IT load, UPS capacity, or current available capacity. The start of construction in March 2025 and completion in the second half of 2027 are the schedules disclosed by the operator; this contract does not mean that Lotte Innovate will operate a center currently in operation, but rather that it has been selected as the outsourced operator following completion. The contract amount, commercial operation start date, scope of services, SLA, and acceptance test conditions have not been disclosed.
