Item 1.01. Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement

On August 31, 2007, Equinix Singapore Pte. Ltd. and Equinix Japan KK (together, the “Equinix Subsidiaries”), both wholly owned subsidiaries of Equinix, Inc. (“Equinix”), entered into a multi-currency credit facility agreement for approximately $40,000,000 in local currency equivalents (the “Facility”) with ABN Amro Bank N.V as lender, facility agent, arranger and collateral agent. The Facility has a four-year term that allows the Equinix Subsidiaries to borrow up to 23,000,000 Singapore dollars and 2,932,500,000 Japanese yen during the first 12-month period with repayment to occur in 12 equal quarterly installments over the remaining three years. The Facility has a variable borrowing rate of 1.85% to 2.50% over the local borrowing rates and may be used by the Equinix Subsidiaries to fund capital expenditures on leasehold improvements, equipment, and other installation costs related to IBX expansion plans in Singapore and Tokyo. The Facility will be guaranteed by Equinix and secured by the Equinix Subsidiaries’ Asia Pacific assets.

The closing of the Facility and the initial funding in the amount of 18,282,000 Singapore dollars and 1,476,832,500 Japanese yen occurred on September 7, 2007. It is anticipated that drawings of various amounts under the Facility will continue to occur periodically, and that up to the full amount of the Facility will be borrowed over the next 12 months.
