FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
EQUINIX CLOSES $250 MILLION CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTES OFFERING
Foster City, CA March 30, 2007 Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX), the leading provider of network-neutral data centers and Internet exchange services, today announced the closing of its previously announced registered offering of $250 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2012, which includes the exercise by the underwriters of a $30 million over-allotment option.
As previously announced, the Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including the funding of the Companys expansion activities and working capital requirements.
Under certain circumstances, the notes will be convertible into Equinix common stock at an initial conversion rate of 8.9259 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes, subject to adjustment. This conversion rate is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $112.03 per share. This represents a 30% premium to the last reported sale price of Equinixs common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on March 27, 2007.
Upon conversion, holders will receive, at Equinixs election, cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock. Equinix currently intends to settle any conversion of notes in cash up to 100% of the principal amount of the notes, with any remaining amount to be satisfied in cash, shares of common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of common stock.
Citigroup Corporate and Investment Banking acted as the sole book-running manager of the offering. Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Jefferies & Company, Inc. acted as co-managers of the offering.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
