COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The Compensation Committee has the exclusive authority to establish the level of base salary payable to the chief executive officer (“CEO”) and certain other executive officers of the Company and authority to administer the Company’s 2000 Equity Incentive Plan, 2001 Supplemental Option Plan and Employee Stock Purchase Plan. In addition, the Compensation Committee has the responsibility for approving the individual bonus programs to be in effect for the CEO and certain other executive officers and other key employees each fiscal year.

For the 2002 fiscal year, the process utilized by the Compensation Committee in determining executive officer compensation levels was based on the subjective judgment of the Compensation Committee. Among the factors considered by the Compensation Committee were the recommendations of the CEO with respect to the compensation of the Company’s key executive officers. However, the Committee makes the final compensation decisions concerning such officers.

General Compensation Policy.    The Compensation Committee’s fundamental policy is to offer the Company’s executive officers competitive compensation opportunities based upon overall Company performance, their individual contribution to the financial success of the Company and their personal performance. It is the Committee’s objective to have each officer’s compensation reflect his or her own contribution to the Company and level of performance. Each executive officer’s compensation package consists of: (i) base salary, (ii) long-term stock-based incentive awards and (iii) bonuses.

Base Salary.    The base salary for each executive officer is set on the basis of general market levels and personal performance. Each individual’s base pay is positioned relative to the total compensation package, including cash incentives and long-term incentives.

Discretionary Bonuses.    Due to economic conditions and the Company’s focus on conserving cash, the Company did not have an annual cash bonus program for 2002. Mr. Ferris, the Company’s Vice President of Sales, in the only executive officer who currently has an annual bonus as part of his compensation. Mr. Ferris’ bonus is contingent on his individual performance objectives. For 2002, Mr. Ferris earned a portion of his annual bonus. In addition, Mr. Ferris and Ms. Backaus are entitled to reimbursement of home mortgage interest payments through December 2003 in connection with housing assistance loans they received when they were hired that were subsequently repaid early. In addition, the Company grants one-time discretionary cash or stock bonuses to executive officers for exceptional performance. For 2002, Ms. Lanam and Mr. Taylor were granted cash bonuses for their efforts in completing the combination and financing transactions.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation.    During fiscal 2002, the Compensation Committee approved option grants to the executive officers largely in consideration of the challenges facing the Company, high exercise prices for the officers’ existing options and the decision to reduce bonuses in order to conserve corporate cash. Generally, a significant grant is made in the year that an officer commences employment. Thereafter, option grants may be made at varying times and in varying amounts in the discretion of the Compensation Committee. Generally, the size of each grant is set at a level that the Committee deems appropriate to create a meaningful opportunity for stock ownership based upon the individual’s position with the Committee, the individual’s potential for future responsibility and promotion, the individual’s performance in the recent period, the exercise prices of that individual’s outstanding options relative to current market value, and the number of unvested options held by the individual at the time of the new grant. The relative weight given to each of these factors will vary from individual to individual at the Compensation Committee’s discretion.

Each grant allows the officer to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock at a fixed price per share (the market price on the grant date) over a specified period of time. The option vests in periodic installments over a two to four year period, contingent upon the executive officer’s continued employment with the Company. The vesting schedule and the number of shares granted are established to ensure a meaningful incentive in each year following the year of grant. Accordingly, the option will provide a return to the executive officer only if he or she

10

remains in the Company’s employ, and then only if the market price of the Company’s common stock appreciates over the option term.

CEO Compensation.    The annual base salary for Mr. Van Camp, the Company’s CEO, was established in connection with his commencement of employment in 2000 and has not been increased since that date. No bonus was paid to the CEO for 2002. An option was granted during fiscal 2002 based on the same factors as for the executive officers.

Tax Limitation.    Under the Federal tax laws, a publicly held company such as the Company will not be allowed a federal income tax deduction for compensation paid to certain executive officers to the extent that compensation exceeds $1 million per officer in any year. To qualify for an exemption from the $1 million deduction limitation, the stockholders approved a limitation under the Company’s 2000 Equity Incentive Plan on the maximum number of shares of common stock for which any one participant may be granted stock options per fiscal year. Because this limitation was adopted, any compensation deemed paid to an executive officer when he exercises an outstanding option under the 2000 Equity Incentive Plan with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the option shares on the grant date will qualify as performance-based compensation that will not be subject to the $1 million limitation. Since it is not expected that the cash compensation to be paid to the Company’s executive officers for the 2002 fiscal year will exceed the $1 million limit per officer, the Compensation Committee will defer any decision on whether to limit the dollar amount of all other compensation payable to the Company’s executive officers to the $1 million cap.

STOCK PERFORMANCE GRAPH

The graph set forth below compares the cumulative total stockholder return on the Company’s common stock between August 11, 2000 (the date the Company’s common stock commenced public trading) and December 31, 2002 with the cumulative total return of (i) the CRSP Total Return Index for the Nasdaq Stock Market (U.S. Companies) (the “Nasdaq Stock Market-U.S. Index”), (ii) the Nasdaq Telecommunications Index and (iii) our peer group of companies which as of the end of our last fiscal year were the companies that comprised the Goldman Sachs Internet Index over the same period. This graph assumes the investment of $100.00 on August 11, 2000, in the Company’s common stock, the Nasdaq Stock Market-U.S. Index, the Nasdaq Telecommunications Index and the Goldman Sachs Internet Index and assumes the reinvestment of dividends, if any.

The comparisons shown in the graph below are based upon historical data. The Company cautions that the stock price performance shown in the graph below is not indicative of, nor intended to forecast, the potential future performance of the Company’s common stock.

COMPARISON OF CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURN

AMONG EQUINIX, INC., THE NASDAQ STOCK MARKET-U.S. INDEX,

THE NASDAQ TELECOMMUNICATIONS INDEX AND OUR PEER GROUP

The Company effected its initial public offering of common stock on August 11, 2000 at a price of $12.00 per share (without giving effect to the Company’s stock split effective December 31, 2002). The graph above, however, commences with the closing price of $13.125 per share (without giving effect to the Company’s stock split effective December 31, 2002) on August 11, 2000 — the date the Company’s common stock commenced public trading. The closing price of our common stock on December 31, 2002 in the graph above does give effect to the Company’s stock split effective that day.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any of the Company’s previous or future filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that might incorporate this Proxy Statement or future filings made by the Company under those statutes, the Compensation Committee Report and Stock Performance Graph shall not be deemed filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any of those prior filings or into any future filings made by the Company under those statutes.

Aggregate Option Exercises in 2002 and Fiscal Year-End Option Values

No options were exercised by the Named Executive Officers in 2002. The following table sets forth for each of the Named Executive Officers the number and value of securities underlying options held by the Named Executive Officers at December 31, 2002:

Employment Agreements, Change of Control Arrangements and Severance Agreements

The Compensation Committee, as plan administrator of the 2000 Equity Incentive Plan, has the authority to provide for accelerated vesting of the shares of common stock subject to outstanding options held by the Named Executive Officers and any other person in connection with certain changes in control of Equinix. In connection with the adoption of the 2000 Equity Incentive Plan, the Company has provided that upon a change in control of the Company, each outstanding option and all shares of restricted stock will generally become fully vested unless the surviving corporation assumes the option or award or replaces it with a comparable award. Any options which are assumed or replaced in the transaction and do not otherwise accelerate at that time shall automatically accelerate (and any unvested option shares which do not otherwise vest at that time shall automatically vest) in the event the optionee’s service terminates by reason of an involuntary or constructive termination within 18 months following the transaction. In addition, options granted to the executive officers of the Company prior to the Company’s initial public offering provide for an additional 12 months vesting upon a change in control of the Company and our form of offer letter for officers provides for an additional 12 months of vesting upon a change in control, provided such officer is employed upon the closing of the change in control. Except as noted below, none of the Company’s executive officers have employment agreements with the Company, and their employment may be terminated at any time.

In August 2002, the Company entered into Severance Agreements with its executive officers, Peter Van Camp, Marjorie S. Backaus, Peter Ferris, Philip J. Koen, Renee Lanam, and Keith Taylor. The agreements provide for severance payments equal to the officer’s annual base salary and target bonus in the event such officer’s employment is terminated for any reason other than cause or the officer resigns for good reason as defined in the agreement.

The initial stock option agreement for Peter F. Van Camp, the Company’s chief executive officer, provides that he will vest an additional 12 months in his initial option upon a change in control of the Company.

The Company extended an offer of employment to Marjorie S. Backaus, the Company’s Chief Marketing Officer, pursuant to an offer letter dated October 21, 1999. The agreement provides that she will vest an additional 12 months in her options upon a change in control of the Company.

The Company extended an offer of employment to Peter T. Ferris, the Company’s vice president, worldwide sales, pursuant to an offer letter dated June 28, 1999. The letter provides for acceleration of vesting of option shares for an additional 12 months if there are certain changes in control of the Company.

17

The Company entered into an agreement on February 8, 2000 with Albert M. Avery, IV, its former vice chairman of the Board of Directors, which provides that his base compensation will be the same as the CEO’s base compensation and also provides for continuation of his salary and continued option vesting for 12 months should his employment with the Company cease. Any options granted to Mr. Avery after February 8, 2000 will allow 24 months to exercise post-termination of employment. On January 1, 2003, the Company entered into an agreement with Albert M. Avery IV relating to his cessation of employment with the Company effective January 6, 2003. Under the agreement, Mr. Avery received severance benefits consisting of a lump sum cash payment of $311,292 pursuant to the terms of his existing employment contract, plus $9,554.52 in payment of COBRA premiums, payment of legal fees to Mr. Avery’s counsel, and a personal computer, blackberry, and cell phone used by Mr. Avery while employed by the Company. In addition, he will continue to vest in his stock options through December 31, 2003 and will have two years to exercise vested options. The agreement also contains certain restrictive covenants, mutual releases and other customary terms and conditions.

PROPOSAL 2

RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

The Company is asking the stockholders to ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company’s independent accountants for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2003. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of shares present or represented by proxy and voting at the Annual Meeting will be required to ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.

In the event the stockholders fail to ratify the appointment, the Board of Directors will reconsider its selection. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of a different independent accounting firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee feels that such a change would be in the Company’s and its stockholders’ best interests.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has audited the Company’s financial statements since 2000. Its representatives are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL 2.

PROPOSAL 3

ISSUANCE OF SHARES IN DEBT FINANCING

Background of the Financing

In recent years, as a part of the continuous evaluation of our business, we have regularly considered a variety of strategic initiatives and transactions with a view toward increasing stockholder value. In this regard, we have explored different strategic alternatives, including the consideration of acquisitions, dispositions and commercial relationships. As a result of these efforts, in December 2002 we issued and sold convertible secured notes and warrants to i-STT Investments Pte Ltd, an affiliate of STT Communications (the “December Financing”) pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated October 2, 2002, as amended (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”). The December Financing, including a description of the convertible secured notes and warrants, is more fully described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement dated December 12, 2002 (the “December Proxy”). At the meeting held in connection with the December Proxy, we obtained stockholder approval for a financing of up to $40 million in exchange for convertible secured notes and warrants under the terms described in the December Proxy. Ultimately, we issued $30 million in convertible secured notes and warrants in the December Financing.

Beginning in late 2002, we, together with our advisors, met with Crosslink Captial (“Crosslink”) numerous times to discuss the terms and conditions of a possible financing transaction. In early February 2003, Crosslink presented a term sheet to the company to invest $10.0 million in the form of convertible secured notes. Throughout February and March 2003, Crosslink met with officers of the Company and conducted extensive due diligence.

On March 6, 2003, our board of directors held a regular meeting during which our board of directors reviewed the proposed term sheet and the general structure of the proposed financing transaction. Following a full discussion, our board of directors determined that the proposed investment by Crosslink is fair to, and in the best interests of, our stockholders and approved the financing and related matters, and authorized our management to finalize the documentation for this financing.

19

On April 15, 2003, our board of directors held a special meeting during which our board of directors considered modifications to the terms of the Crosslink Financing (as defined below) and determined that the modified investment by Crosslink remains fair to, and in the best interests of, our stockholders.

On April 29, 2003, the parties executed and delivered the securities purchase and admission agreement.

We are now seeking stockholder approval for the sale and issuance to Crosslink of $10.0 million of convertible secured notes and warrants not sold in the December Financing (the “Crosslink Financing”). The notes and warrants issued to Crosslink will be convertible into shares of our common stock. If all of such notes and warrants were converted into shares of our common stock, such shares, in the absence of note and warrant conversions by i-STT Communications, could represent greater than 20% of our outstanding common stock. In addition, the convertible secured notes and warrants proposed to be issued in the Crosslink Financing will have materially different terms with respect to their conversion into our common stock than the notes and warrants approved in the December Financing. Therefore, because the notes will have different terms than those approved in connection with our December Financing and because the shares issuable upon conversion of the notes and warrants into common stock could exceed 20% of our outstanding common stock, we are required under the rules of the Nasdaq National Market to seek stockholder approval for the issuance of notes and warrants to Crosslink. See “Terms of the Debt Financing” below.

Our Reasons for the Financing

Our board of directors believes that the terms of the Crosslink Financing transaction are in our best interests and the interests of our stockholders. Accordingly, at a meeting held on March 6, 2003, our board of directors approved the transaction and recommended that our stockholders approve the issuance of shares of our common stock in connection with the Crosslink Financing. In reaching its determination, our board of directors consulted with our management and advisors, and carefully evaluated the financial terms of the transaction agreements and their effect on the holders of our preferred stock and common stock. Specifically, our board of directors considered the increased financial stability and greater operating flexibility provided by raising additional cash. Our board of directions believes that this value warrants the additional dilution to existing stockholders.

Why We Need Stockholder Approval of the Financing

You are entitled to vote on the approval of the proposed issuance because the securities to be issued are convertible into our common stock which is qualified to trade on The Nasdaq National Market, and the rules of the Nasdaq National Market require us to seek the approval of our stockholders prior to the issuance of securities in connection with a transaction (other than a public offering) involving our sale or issuance of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) equal to 20% or more of the common stock or 20% or more of the voting power outstanding, for less than the greater of book value or market value of the common stock before such issuance (the “Nasdaq 20% Rule”). Accordingly, we are seeking stockholder approval in order to ensure compliance with the Nasdaq 20% Rule, which is required to maintain our listing on the Nasdaq National Market. Stockholder approval of the issuance is not otherwise required as a matter of Delaware law or other applicable laws or rules, or by our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, or by our bylaws.

Interests of Our Directors and Executive Officers

When considering the recommendation of our board of directors that stockholders approve the issuance of shares of common stock in the Crosslink Financing, you should be aware that some of our directors and executive officers have interests in these transactions that are different from, or are in addition to, your interests. Our board of directors was aware of these potential conflicts and considered them. These include:

Directors.    Each of the directors nominated for election at this meeting will remain on our board of directors following the closing of the Crosslink Financing. Mr. Dennis Raney was not a member of our board of directors at the March 6, 2003 meeting where the Crosslink Financing was approved.

20

Indemnification of Directors and Officers.    Our executive officers and directors have customary rights to indemnification against losses incurred as a result of action or omission occurring prior to the closing. In addition, our executive officers and directors have customary indemnification agreements that provide for additional indemnification.

Anti-dilution Protection for i-STT Investments Pte. Ltd.    As more fully described below, under the terms of the note issued to i-STT Investments, an affiliate of STT Communications, in the December Financing, the rate at which such note converts into our capital stock will be adjusted to protect i-STT Investments from some of the dilutive effects of the investment by Crosslink. Lee Theng Kiat and Jean Mandeville, two of the Company’s directors, are executive officers of STT Communications.

As a result, these directors and executive officers could be more likely to vote in favor of recommending the issuance of shares of common stock in the financing than if they did not hold these interests.

Terms of the Debt Financing

Securities to be Issued.    The following securities will be issued under the securities purchase and admission agreement:

Closing Conditions.    The issuance and sale of securities in the Crosslink Financing is subject to closing conditions, including:

Representations and Warranties; Indemnities and Expenses.    The securities purchase and admission agreement includes representations and warranties and incorporates the affirmative and negative covenants and events of default under our credit facility. We will indemnify the holders of the convertible secured notes from specific liabilities, such as environmental liabilities. In addition, we will reimburse $75,000 of fees of counsel to the purchasers under the securities purchase and admission agreement.

Registration Rights.    Crosslink will become party to the registration rights agreement we entered into with i-STT Investments which has been amended to grant the right to five demand registrations, the right to participate in other registration statements filed by us (other than employee stock and acquisition related offerings) and the right to register shares on Form S-3 (or Form S-1 if Form S-3 is not available) shares of our common stock issued, directly or indirectly, upon conversion of the notes or exercise of any of the warrants issued under the securities purchase and admission agreement. The registration rights agreement includes our obligation to indemnify or contribute to losses suffered by the holders of securities registered pursuant to that agreement. These losses may include losses incurred under federal securities laws.

21

Nomination of Directors.    Under the provisions of the Bylaws, the number of directors is fixed at nine. The Bylaws currently provide that, until December 31, 2004, or if earlier, the termination of the governance provisions in our bylaws (i) three directors shall be nominated by i-STT Investments, (ii) three directors, known as the Equinix directors, shall be nominated by the three directors appointed to Equinix’s current board of directors by Equinix’s board of directors as it existed prior to December 31, 2002, (iii) prior to May 30, 2003, one director shall be nominated by the former stockholders of Pihana Pacific, Inc. which we acquired on December 31, 2002, and (iv) two directors shall be independent directors nominated by our nominating committee. In connection with the Crosslink Financing, we are required, as a condition to closing, to amend our Bylaws to remove the now obsolete requirement to elect a representative of the former Pihana Pacific stockholders and insert a requirement to nominate a designee of Crosslink. Crosslink will continue to have the right to nominate such director until December 31, 2004, or if earlier, the termination of the governance provisions in the bylaws. Our existing governance provisions are more fully described in our definitive proxy statement dated December 12, 2002.

The Series A-2 Convertible Secured Notes

Principal Amount.    Under the securities purchase and admission agreement, Crosslink has committed to purchase an aggregate principal amount of $10.0 million of Series A-2 convertible secured notes.

Security.    The Series A-2 convertible secured notes share with our existing Series A-1 convertible secured notes a second priority security interest in all of the collateral securing our and our subsidiaries’ obligations under the credit facility (which excludes the i-STT assets and Pihana’s Singapore assets we purchased on December 31, 2002).

The Series A-2 convertible secured notes will be guaranteed by all of our existing subsidiaries, all of our subsidiaries acquired in the combination (except that the Singapore subsidiaries will guarantee only our previously issued Series A-1 convertible secured notes) and all of our future domestic subsidiaries.

Interest.    Interest will begin to accrue on the Series A-2 convertible secured notes at the rate of 10% per year two years after the date of issuance of the Series A-2 convertible secured notes. Interest on the Series A-2 convertible secured notes will be payable in arrears in additional notes of the same series, on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on November 1, 2005 until maturity.

Conversion of Notes.    The principal amount of the Series A-2 convertible secured notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at a price of $4.00 per underlying share of our common stock at any time at the option of the holder of such notes. The accrued interest on the Series A-2 convertible secured notes is convertible into shares of our common stock at a price of $4.84 per underlying share of our common stock at any time after such interest is accrued at the option of the holder of such notes.

The conversion price will be adjusted to mitigate or prevent dilution if fundamental changes occur to our common stock, dividends are declared on our common stock or we issue, or contract to issue, shares of our common stock at a price per share below $4.84 per share.

22

Automatic Conversion of Notes.    Following the second anniversary of the closing, 100% of the convertible secured notes will be automatically converted into shares of our common stock, if:

If Crosslink elects not to convert the convertible secured notes within such five-day period, the notes and the accrued interest thereon, will no longer be convertible into shares of our common stock.

Change in Control.    We must offer to purchase all outstanding convertible secured notes at their principal amount together with accrued and unpaid interest if we experience a change of control.

Common Stock Warrants

We will issue to Crosslink a warrant which represents the right to purchase 500,000 shares of our common stock. The warrants will initially have an exercise price of $0.01 per underlying share of our common stock and may be exercised by utilizing the net-exercise provision in the warrant. The exercise price and the number of shares issuable under the warrants will be adjusted to mitigate or prevent dilution if fundamental changes occur to our common stock, dividends are declared on our common stock or we issue, or contract to issue, shares of our common stock at a price per share below $4.84 per share. The warrants will expire five years from the date of issuance.

Change in Control Warrants

If we experience a change in control, the change of control warrants will become exerciseable at an exercise price of $0.01 per share for shares of our common stock with a total current market value of up to 20% of:

The change in control warrants will expire five years from the date of issuance.

For purposes of the convertible secured notes and the change in control warrants, a change of control is defined as:

23

Cash Trigger Warrants

To provide a mechanism to allow purchasers of convertible secured notes, including Crosslink, to ensure our compliance with covenants under our senior credit facility, the holders of our cash trigger warrants will have the right, but not the obligation, to exercise their warrants on the terms described below. The cash trigger warrants will be exercisable for shares of our common or preferred stock valued at up to $30.0 million and will remain exercisable so long as our senior secured credit facility remains outstanding. The Series A cash trigger warrants are exercisable for equity securities with an aggregate purchase price of up to $10.0 million and those warrants will have a per share exercise price which is the lesser of (a) $9.79 or (b) 90% of the then current market value of shares of our common stock. The Series B cash trigger warrants are exercisable for up to $20 million and those warrants will have a per share exercise price of 90% of the then current market value of shares of our common stock. The $9.79 per share exercise price of Series A cash trigger warrants will be adjusted to mitigate or prevent dilution if fundamental changes occur to our common stock, dividends are declared on our common stock or we issue, or contract to issue, shares of our common stock at a price per share below $9.79. All of the Series A cash trigger warrants and Series B cash trigger warrants were issued to i-STT Investments in connection with the December Financing. In connection with the Crosslink Financing, i-STT Investments has agreed to amend the outstanding Series A cash trigger warrants and Series B cash trigger warrants such that i-STT Investments and Crosslink may exercise a portion of such warrants representing the proportion of the aggregate outstanding principal amounts of A-1 notes and A-2 notes held by each of i-STT Investments and Crosslink.

The cash trigger warrants will only be exercisable if we (a) do not have sufficient funds to pay, and fail to pay when due, any principal, interest, fee or other amount under our credit facility, or (b) breach our obligations to maintain certain minimum cash balances under our credit facility agreement. The holders of the cash trigger warrants have no obligation to exercise their warrants. If a default occurs under our credit facility, we cannot assure you that we will have adequate financial resources to prevent our lenders from foreclosing on our assets.

If the cash trigger warrants are exercised based on the condition described in (a) above, the cash trigger warrants will be exercisable for not less than $5.0 million and not more than $5.0 million plus the amount of the missed payment.

If the cash trigger warrants are exercised based on the condition described in (b) above, the cash trigger warrants will be exercisable for not less than $5.0 million and not more than $5.0 million plus any shortfall in our minimum cash balance requirements.

To the extent i-STT Investments or Crosslink does not exercise its cash trigger warrants in full, the other party will have the right to exercise its cash trigger warrants for their share of such warrants plus any unexercised portion of such warrants issued to other party.

Material Federal Income Tax Considerations of the Financing

Federal tax law contains various limitations and restrictions on the deductibility of interest and/or original issue discount. Some of these limitations and restrictions may be applicable to the interest and/or the original issue discount associated with the Series A-2 convertible secured notes. In such event, some or all of the interest or original issue discount associated with such notes may not be deductible by us.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL 3.

24

OTHER MATTERS RELATED TO THE FINANCING

Securities Law Matters

The notes and warrants to be issued in connection with the financing will be issued in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, by reason of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act or regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder.

No Dissenter’s Rights

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, Equinix’s stockholders are not entitled to dissenter’s rights with respect to the issuance of securities convertible into our common stock, and we will not independently provide stockholders with any such right.

25

CAPITALIZATION

The following unaudited table sets forth our capitalization as of December 31, 2002:

Please read the capitalization table together with sections of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 entitled “Selected Financial Data”, and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the financial statements included therein.

26

RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

In calculating the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings consist of (i) net loss before income tax expense and fixed charges plus (ii) the losses recognized in an entity of which less than 50% is owned by us and is accounted for under the equity method when there is no guarantee, directly or indirectly, to service the debt of such entities. Fixed charges consist of interest expense, including capitalized interest, amortized premiums and discounts and capitalized expenses related to indebtedness and an estimated portion of rental expense that is attributed to interest. For the periods presented, Equinix had no outstanding shares of preferred stock with required dividend payments. The ratio of earnings to fixed charges was less than 1.0 to 1.0 for each of our last four fiscal years and for the period from June 22, 1998 (inception) to December 31, 1998. Earnings available for fixed charges were thus inadequate to cover fixed charges. The coverage deficiency for the periods ended December 31, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999 and 1998 was $21,618,000, $188,415,000, $119,790,000, $20,791,000 and $1,019,000, respectively.

27

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Loans to Executive Officers.    From July 1999 through January 2001, the Company hired a number of individuals from out-of-state and relocated them to California. The market in California during this period was very competitive for certain positions and the most qualified individuals available at that time were located in other states. In order to induce three executive officers to relocate to California from cities with lower housing costs, the Company offered each of these executive officers a non-interest bearing home loan to assist them with the purchase of a new residence in California. These loans expired upon the earlier of 5 years or certain liquidity events, none of which have happened to date. In early 2002, the Company negotiated with all three of these executive officers for the early repayment of these loans. In January 2002, in exchange for Peter Van Camp, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, agreeing to repay the loan four years earlier than its maturity, and in exchange for his waiving his right to any bonuses earned and expensed in 2001, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors forgave $874,000 of Mr. Van Camp’s loan of $1,512,000. The remaining amount due under the loan of $638,000 was repaid to the Company in full in February 2002. In addition, the Company negotiated with the other two executive officers of the Company, Peter Ferris and Marjorie Backaus, to repay their loans in full several years prior to the loans’ maturity dates. In exchange, the Company agreed to pay a portion of the interest on each of the officer’s mortgage for their principal residence through December 31, 2003. Mr. Ferris’ loan, totaling $750,000, was repaid in full in February 2002 and Ms. Backaus’ loan, totaling $250,000, was repaid in full in March 2002.

Equipment Reseller Agreements with Affiliated Companies.    In March 2002, the Company entered into an agreement to resell equipment with Cisco Systems, Inc. (“Cisco”), a greater than 5% stockholder in the Company. Michelangelo Volpi, one of the Company’s directors, is an executive officer of Cisco. The Company plans to recognize revenue from this arrangement on a gross basis in accordance with Emerging Issue Task Force Issue No. 99-19, Recording Revenue as a Principal versus Net as an Agent. The Company acts as the principal in the transaction as the Company’s customer services agreement identifies the Company as the party responsible for the fulfillment of product/ services to the Company’s customers and has full pricing discretion. In the case of products sold under this arrangement, the Company takes title to the products and bears the inventory risk as the Company has made minimum purchase commitments for equipment to various vendors. The Company has credit risk, as it is responsible for collecting the sales price from a customer, but must pay the amount owed to its suppliers after the suppliers perform, regardless of whether the sales price is fully collected. In addition, the Company will often determine the required equipment configuration. The Company has purchased and resold equipment for $968,000 under the agreement with Cisco.

In February 2002, the Company entered into an agreement to resell equipment with Juniper Networks (IS), Inc., an entity affiliated with Juniper Networks, Inc. (“Juniper”). Scott Kriens, one of the Company’s directors, is both a director and an executive officer of Juniper. The Company plans to recognize revenue from this arrangement on a gross basis in accordance with Emerging Issue Task Force Issue No. 99-19, Recording Revenue as a Principal versus Net as an Agent. The Company acts as the principal in the transaction as the Company’s customer services agreement identifies the Company as the party responsible for the fulfillment of product/ services to the Company’s customers and has full pricing discretion. In the case of products sold under this agreement, the Company takes title to the products and bears the inventory risk as the Company has made minimum purchase commitments for equipment to various vendors. The Company has credit risk, as it is responsible for collecting the sales price from a customer, but must pay the amount owed to its suppliers after the suppliers perform, regardless of whether the sales price is fully collected. In addition, the Company will often determine the required equipment configuration. The Company has purchased and resold equipment for $1,805,000 under the agreement with Juniper.

Convertible Secured Note Sold to Affiliated Company.    In December 2002, i-STT Investments Pte Ltd, an affiliate of STT Communications, made a $30.0 million investment in the Company through the purchase of a

28

14% convertible secured note with an initial term of five years. The interest on the convertible secured note is payable in kind in the form of additional convertible secured notes. The convertible secured note is secured by a first priority lien on certain of the Company’s assets located in Asia and a second priority lien on all of the Company’s other assets. In addition, the Company issued the following warrants to i-STT Investments in conjunction with the convertible secured note:

The convertible secured note and warrants are more fully described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement dated December 12, 2002.

STT Communications, along with its affiliates, is a greater than 5% stockholder in the Company and Lee Theng Kiat and Jean Mandeville, two of the Company’s directors, are executive officers of STT Communications.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONSOLIDATED

CONDENSED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

The following unaudited pro forma combined consolidated condensed statement of operations has been prepared to give effect to the combination of Equinix, Inc. (“Equinix” or the “Company”), Pihana Pacific, Inc. (“Pihana”) and i-STT Pte Ltd (“i-STT”) using the purchase method of accounting (the “Combination”) and the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma combined consolidated condensed statement of operations, including an investment in the Company by i-STT’s parent company, STT Communications Ltd (“STT Communications”) (the “Financing”), and further reductions in amounts outstanding under both the Senior Notes and the Amended and Restated Credit Facility. The above noted transactions, specifically, the Combination, Financing and Senior Note Exchange, occurred on December 31, 2002. However, this pro forma statement of operations was prepared as if the Combination and related transactions had been completed as of December 31, 2001. Equinix continues to operate under the existing Equinix senior management team with Peter Van Camp as CEO and is headquartered in Foster City, California.

The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated condensed statement of operations is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the financial position that would have actually been reported had the Combination, Financing and further reductions in amounts outstanding under both the Senior Notes and the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, occurred as of December 31, 2001 for statement of operations purposes, nor is it necessarily indicative of the future financial position. The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated condensed statement of operations includes adjustments, which are based upon preliminary estimates, to reflect the allocation of the purchase price to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of i-STT and Pihana, including intangible assets acquired in connection with i-STT. Any change in the fair value of the net assets of i-STT and Pihana will likely change the amount of the purchase price allocable to goodwill for i-STT and property and equipment for Pihana.

This unaudited pro forma combined consolidated condensed statement of operations is based upon the respective historical unaudited consolidated statement of operations of Equinix and Pihana and the historical unaudited consolidated statement of operations of i-STT, adjusted to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, and should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements of Equinix, i-STT and Pihana and related notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained in the definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 12, 2002.

Although i-STT is not significant under SEC Regulation S-X Rule 3-05, we have included i-STT’s results of operations in the accompanying unaudited pro forma information because the Combination, Financing and Senior Note Exchange were consummated in conjunction with each other and we believe that the inclusion of i-STT is meaningful to the understanding of the Company’s pro forma results of operations.

This unaudited pro forma combined consolidated condensed statement of operations excludes the impact of the $10.0 million debt financing outlined in Proposal 3 of this proxy statement.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONSOLIDATED

CONDENSED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated condensed statement of operations included herein has been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and certain footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations; however, management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

1.    BASIS OF PRO FORMA PRESENTATION

On October 2, 2002, the Company entered into a combination agreement (the “Combination Agreement”) to purchase all of the issued and outstanding stock of i-STT, a wholly-owned Internet infrastructure services subsidiary of STT Communications, in exchange for $10,000 and approximately 3.0 million shares of common and preferred stock, representing approximately 27.5% of the modified fully diluted share amount at closing and Pihana, a leading provider of neutral Internet exchange data center services and managed e-infrastructure services in Asia-Pacific, in exchange for $10,000 and approximately 2.4 million shares of common stock, or approximately 22.5% of the modified fully diluted share amount. These acquisitions are herein referred to as the “Combination”. The Combination was completed on December 31, 2002. The combined company continues to operate under the Equinix name and management. Separately, STT Communications made a $30.0 million strategic investment in the Company in the form of convertible secured notes with detachable warrants for the further issuance of approximately 1.0 million shares of stock. This transaction is herein referred to as the “Financing”. The Financing was completed on December 31, 2002. Equinix accounted for the Combination under the purchase method of accounting. In addition to giving effect to the Combination and Financing, this pro forma statement of operations has been adjusted to present the impact of the Senior Note Exchange and further reduction in the Amended and Restated Credit Facility discussed below. The Senior Note Exchange and further reduction in the Amended and Restated Credit Facility were also completed on December 31, 2002.

The parties to the transaction considered the guidance provided in paragraph 17 of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 141, Business Combinations and determined that Equinix was the acquiring entity in the combination. This determination was based on a number of factors including the fact that the former Equinix stockholders will have the largest voting percentage of the outstanding stock. Following the issuance of common and redeemable preferred shares by Equinix in the Combination, the former Equinix stockholders have a 51.0% voting interest in the combined entity. In addition, Equinix is the larger entity and its current management team continues to run the day-to-day operations of the combined company, no party controls a majority of the board of directors and the combined company continues to operate under the Equinix name and is headquartered in Foster City, California.

In connection with the Combination, Equinix issued $30 million in the form of a convertible secured note, which is convertible into the Company’s capital stock on a one for one basis. This note issued to STT Communications shall initially be convertible into shares of preferred stock at any time at the holder’s option. There are two classes of preferred stock, Series A and Series A-1. Series A preferred stock is convertible at any time, at the option of the holder, into common stock of Equinix up to the point at which (a) STT Communications has a 40% voting interest in Equinix or (b) the value of voting interests held by STT Communications exceeds $50 million. Thereafter, conversion of the convertible secured note will result in the issuance of Series A-1, non-voting preferred shares. While STT Communications is able to convert their note at any time after the closing, there are a number of factors, in addition to the anticipated premium built into the conversion price, that suggest that this note will not be converted into equity. These include the fact that:

CONDENSED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS—(Continued)

As a result of these factors, management does not expect the holder of the convertible secured note to convert voluntarily prior to maturity. In the event debt securities are converted and STT Communications’ voting interest is maximized (at 40%), Equinix would hold a 42.7% voting interest, STT Communications 40% and Pihana 17.3%.

In connection with the Combination and Financing, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Facility. The most significant terms and conditions of this amendment are:

Also in connection with the Combination, Financing and further amendment to the Credit Facility, the Company obtained agreements from the holders of a large percentage of its outstanding Senior Notes whereby such holders agreed to tender their Senior Notes to the Company for a combination of cash and common stock and to amend the terms of the Senior Notes. This transaction is herein referred to as the “Senior Note Exchange”.

Furthermore, in connection with the Combination, Financing and Senior Note Exchange transactions described above, in order to comply with the requirements of the Nasdaq National Market, the Company initiated a 32 for 1 reverse stock split, which also took effect on December 31, 2002. All share and per share amounts have been adjusted to give effect to the stock split.

The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated condensed statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002 was prepared by combining the historical unaudited consolidated condensed statement of operations data for the year ended December 31, 2002 for Equinix and Pihana and the historical consolidated statement of operations data of i-STT, as adjusted to comply with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, as if the Combination and related transactions had been consummated on December 31, 2001.

2.    PURCHASE PRICE—PIHANA

On December 31, 2002, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company merged with and into Pihana (the “Pihana Acquisition”). Pihana is a similar business to that of Equinix with IBX hub operations in Singapore;

EQUINIX, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONSOLIDATED

CONDENSED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS—(Continued)

Tokyo, Japan; Sydney, Australia; Hong Kong, China, as well as Los Angeles and Honolulu in the U.S. The entire purchase price of $28,376,000 was comprised of (i) 2,416,379 shares of the Company’s common stock, with a total value of $25,517,000, (ii) total cash consideration and direct transaction costs of $2,701,000 and (iii) the value of Pihana shareholder warrants assumed in the Pihana Acquisition of $176,000 (the “Pihana Shareholder Warrants”). The fair market value of the Company’s stock issued was determined using the five-trading-day average price of the Company’s common stock surrounding the date the transaction was announced in October 2002. The fair value of the Pihana Shareholder Warrants, which represent the right to purchase 133,442 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $191.81 per share, was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the following assumptions: fair market value per share of $5.70, dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 135%, risk-free interest rate of 4% and a contractual life of approximately 3 years.

The preliminary purchase price, including direct merger costs, have been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. The estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities assumed is summarized as follows (in thousands):

The Company accounted for the Pihana Acquisition using the purchase method. Included in the net liabilities assumed are total restructuring charges of $9,470,000, which relate primarily to the exit of the undeveloped portion of the Pihana Los Angeles IBX hub leasehold, severance related to an approximate 30% reduction in workforce, including several officers of Pihana and some transaction-related professional fees. A substantial portion of these costs were paid in January 2003. Prior to December 31, 2002, Pihana sold their Korean IBX hub operations, which was excluded from the Pihana Acquisition, terminated or amended several operating leaseholds and recorded a substantial impairment charge against the value of their property and equipment assumed in the Pihana Acquisition. While the Company does not expect there will be any changes to the Company’s preliminary purchase price due to any unknown contingent liabilities or purchase price adjustments, any subsequent adjustment to the purchase price would likely result in a change to the amount of property and equipment assumed in the Pihana Acquisition.

There were no historical transactions between Equinix and Pihana. Certain reclassifications have been made to conform Pihana’s historical amounts to Equinix’s financial statement presentation.

The pro forma adjustments do not reflect any integration adjustments such as restructuring costs to be incurred in connection with the merger or operating efficiencies and cost savings that may be achieved with respect to the combined entity as these costs are not directly attributable to the purchase agreement.

3.    PURCHASE PRICE—i-STT

On December 31, 2002, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company acquired all issued and outstanding shares of i-STT from STT Communications (the “i-STT Acquisition”). i-STT is a similar business to that of Equinix with IBX hub operations in Singapore and Thailand. The entire purchase price of $34,365,000 was comprised of (i) 1,868,666 shares of the Company’s Series A preferred stock and 1,084,686 shares of the Company’s common stock, with a total value of $31,187,000 and (ii) total cash consideration and direct transaction costs of $3,178,000.

The fair value of the Company’s stock issued was determined using the five-trading-day average price of the Company’s common stock surrounding the date the transaction was announced in October 2002. The Company determined that the fair value of the Series A preferred stock and the common stock was the same because the material rights, preferences and privileges of Series A preferred stock and the common stock are virtually identical.

The preliminary purchase price, including direct merger costs, have been allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. The Company retained the services of an independent valuation expert to assist with the determination of the fair value of the intangible assets. The estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities assumed is summarized as follows (in thousands):

The Company accounted for the i-STT Acquisition using the purchase method. The customer contracts intangible asset will have a useful life of two years, the typical term of a customer contract, and the tradename intangible asset will have a useful life of one year, the contractual period under the Combination Agreement. Included in the net liabilities assumed, is an accrual of $400,000 representing the estimated costs to exit from an undeveloped IBX hub leasehold interest in Shanghai, China. The Company expects to exit this lease in 2003. While the Company does not expect there will be any changes to the Company’s preliminary purchase price due to any unknown contingent liabilities or purchase price adjustments, any subsequent adjustment to the purchase price would likely result in a change to the amount of goodwill carried on the balance sheet.

There were no historical transactions between Equinix and i-STT. Certain reclassifications have been made to conform i-STT’s historical amounts to Equinix’s financial statement presentation.

CONDENSED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS—(Continued)

The pro forma adjustments do not reflect any integration adjustments such as restructuring costs to be incurred in connection with the merger or operating efficiencies and cost savings that may be achieved with respect to the combined entity as these costs are not directly attributable to the purchase agreement.

4.    FINANCING

In conjunction with the Combination, STT Communications made a $30.0 million strategic investment in the Company in the form of a convertible secured notes (the “Convertible Secured Note”) with a detachable warrant for the further issuance of 965,674 shares of preferred stock (the “Convertible Secured Note Warrant”), valued at $4,646,000 (the “Financing”). The Convertible Secured Note bears non-cash interest at an interest rate of 14% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears, and has an initial term of five years. Interest on the Convertible Secured Note will be payable in kind in the form of additional convertible secured notes having a principal amount equal to the amount of interest then due having terms which are identical to the terms of the Convertible Secured Note (the “PIK Notes”). The Convertible Secured Note and Convertible Secured Note Warrant cannot be converted into shares of voting stock for a two-year period, except under certain limited circumstances as defined in the agreements. Notwithstanding this, STT Communication’s voting ownership is limited to 40% of the outstanding shares of the combined company.

The Convertible Secured Note Warrant was valued at $4,646,000. The fair value of the Convertible Secured Note Warrant was calculated under the provisions of APB 14 and determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model under the following assumptions: contractual life of five years, risk-free interest rate of 4%, expected volatility of 135% and no expected dividend yield. The Company has considered the guidance in EITF Abstract No. 98-5, “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios”, and has determined that the Convertible Secured Note does not contain a beneficial conversion feature as the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance, was less than the stock conversion ratio outlined in the agreement. The allocated value to the Convertible Secured Note Warrant of $4,646,000 will be amortized using the effective interest rate method to interest expense over the five-year term of the Convertible Secured Note.

As the PIK Notes have terms that are identical to the terms of the Convertible Secured Note, the PIK Notes may have a beneficial conversion feature. Any beneficial conversion feature associated with the PIK Notes, which will be issued semi-annually, would result in an incremental charge to the Company’s interest expense over the term of the Convertible Secured Note and PIK Notes.

The costs related to the Financing of approximately $575,000 were capitalized and are being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method, over the life of the Convertible Secured Note.

5.    SENIOR NOTE EXCHANGE

In December 2002, the Company, in connection with, and as a condition to closing the Combination and Financing, initiated an exchange offer to substantially reduce the amount of Senior Notes then outstanding in order to improve the Company’s existing capital structure and reduce the amount of outstanding debt of the Company, which we refer to herein as the “Senior Note Exchange”. The Senior Note Exchange was contingent on both the Combination and Financing closing, all of which were subject to stockholder vote. The Combination, Financing and Senior Note Exchange closed on December 31, 2002, and the Company retired an additional $116,774,000 of Senior Notes plus forgiveness of $8,855,000 of accrued and unpaid interest thereon in exchange for 1,857,436 shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $12,482,000 based on the actual exchange date

EQUINIX, INC.

CONDENSED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS—(Continued)

of the Senior Notes and $15,181,000 of cash. The Company wrote-off a proportionate amount of unamortized Company incurred debt extinguishment costs totaling approximately $2,500,000 in connection with the retirement of these Senior Notes and recognized a gain on these transactions of $86,970,000. In conjunction with the Combination, Financing and Senior Note Exchange, the Company amended the Indenture governing the Senior Notes in order to allow the Combination and Financing to occur.

During the first half of 2002, the Company retired $52.8 million of Senior Notes in exchange for approximately 500,000 shares of common stock and approximately $2.5 million of cash, and as a result, recognized a $27.2 million gain on debt extinguishment.

6.    FURTHER AMENDMENT OF CREDIT FACILITY

In connection with the Combination, Financing and Senior Note Exchange, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to the Amended and Restated Senior Credit Facility. As part of the Second Amendment to the Amended and Restated Senior Credit Facility, the Company permanently repaid $8.5 million of the amount currently outstanding ($100.0 million). In addition, amendment fees, which were paid to the lenders of $1.3 million, have been reflected as additional debt issuance costs, which will be amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of this facility.

7.    PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

The accompanying unaudited pro forma combined consolidated condensed statement of operations has been prepared assuming the transactions described above were completed on December 31, 2001.
