UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated condensed financial statements included in this free writing prospectus have been updated from those contained in the preliminary prospectus dated September 14, 2007 solely to reflect: (i) the final terms of the Convertible Debt Offering and the Common Stock Offering, as those terms are defined below; and (ii) a decrease in the pro forma amount of goodwill as of June 30, 2007 from $423,147,000 to $421,889,000.

The following unaudited pro forma combined consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared to give effect to the acquisition by Equinix, Inc. (“Equinix” or the “Company”) of IXEurope plc (“IXEurope”) using the purchase method of accounting and the related financings to fund this acquisition with the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma combined consolidated condensed financial statements, as well as certain significant transactions of the Company that have occurred subsequent to June 30, 2007 consisting of (i) additional advances under the Chicago IBX Financing, (ii) the completion of the San Jose Property Acquisition and (iii) the Asia-Pacific Financing. These pro forma statements were prepared as if the acquisition and related financings and other transactions described above had been completed as of January 1, 2006 for statements of operations purposes and as of June 30, 2007 for balance sheet purposes. The combined company will operate under the Equinix name with the current management teams in place in the U.S., Europe and Asia-Pacific.

The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated condensed financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that would have actually been reported had the acquisition and related financings and other transactions described above occurred on January 1, 2006 for statements of operation purposes and as of June 30, 2007 for balance sheet purposes, nor is it necessarily indicative of the future financial position or results of operations of the combined company. The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated condensed financial statements include adjustments, which are based upon preliminary estimates, to reflect the allocation of the purchase price to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of IXEurope. The final allocation of the purchase price will be determined after the completion of the acquisition and will be based upon actual net tangible and intangible assets acquired as well as liabilities assumed. The preliminary purchase price allocation for IXEurope is subject to revision as more detailed analysis is completed and additional information on the fair values of IXEurope’s assets and liabilities becomes available. Any change in the fair value of the net assets of IXEurope will change the amount of the purchase price allocable to goodwill. Additionally, changes in IXEurope’s working capital, including the results of operations from June 30, 2007 through September 14, 2007, the date the transaction was completed, will change the amount of goodwill recorded. Final purchase accounting adjustments may differ materially from the pro forma adjustments presented here.

These unaudited pro forma combined consolidated condensed financial statements are based upon the respective historical consolidated financial statements of Equinix and IXEurope, 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 and IXEurope and related notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of Equinix and IXEurope incorporated in the prospectus by reference.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

1. BASIS OF PRO FORMA PRESENTATION

In June 2007, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company announced an offer to purchase all of the entire issued and to be issued share capital of IXEurope (“the IXEurope Acquisition”). Under the final terms of the IXEurope Acquisition, IXEurope shareholders will receive 140 British pence in cash for each IXEurope share valuing the share capital of IXEurope on a fully diluted basis at approximately 270,100,000 British pounds or approximately $540,632,000 (as translated using effective exchange rates at June 30, 2007); however, fully-diluted shares of IXEurope held by IXEurope’s two top officers representing 1,974,000 British pounds of the total purchase price will not be paid in cash upon closing. Instead, equity awards of the Company’s common stock with a fair value of 1,974,000 British pounds or approximately $3,951,000 (as translated using effective exchange rates at June 30, 2007) will be issued to the two top officers of IXEurope and are subject to vesting based on continuous employment through the end of 2008, as well as certain performance criteria of IXEurope (the “IXEurope Equity Compensation”). The IXEurope Equity Compensation will not be accounted for as part of the purchase price of IXEurope. Rather, the IXEurope Equity Compensation will be expensed into operations of the combined company post-acquisition as stock-based compensation over the vesting life of such awards. As a result, the actual cash purchase price for the IXEurope Acquisition is 268,126,000 British pounds or approximately $536,681,000 (also as translated using effective exchange rates at June 30, 2007). IXEurope operates data centers in the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Switzerland. The combined company will operate under the Equinix name with the current management teams in place in the U.S., Europe and Asia-Pacific. The IXEurope Acquisition will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141”).

Although the IXEurope Acquisition closed on the morning of September 14, 2007, the Company does not have to pay the consideration for the IXEurope Acquisition until September 28, 2007. In addition, the Company will not have completed its preliminary accounting for the IXEurope Acquisition until it reports its 2007 third quarter results in the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2007.

In order to provide cash to fund the IXEurope Acquisition, the Company entered into the Senior Bridge Loan for a principal amount of $500,000,000 in June 2007. However, the Company does not intend to use the Senior Bridge Loan to pay for the IXEurope Acquisition. Instead, the Company intends to pay for the IXEurope Acquisition with the proceeds from a combination of (i) the sale of 3,662,556 shares of the Company’s common stock at a public offering price of $84.05 per share (the “Common Stock Offering”) and (ii) the sale of the Company’s Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2014 (the “Convertible Debt Offering”) (collectively, the “New Public Offerings”). For purposes of the pro forma results contained herein, the Company has assumed that the Senior Bridge Loan will be terminated unused (the Senior Bridge Loan and New Public Offerings are collectively referred to herein as the “IXEurope Acquisition Financings”). The completion of each offering is conditioned upon the concurrent completion of the other offering.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

 

In addition to the IXEurope Acquisition and IXEurope Acquisition Financings, the pro forma results contained herein also reflect the following significant transactions of the Company that have occurred subsequent to June 30, 2007 consisting of (i) additional advances under the Chicago IBX Financing, (ii) the completion of the San Jose Property Acquisition and (iii) the Asia-Pacific Financing as more fully discussed below (collectively, the “Other Significant Subsequent Events”).

The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated condensed balance sheet as of June 30, 2007, was prepared by combining the historical unaudited consolidated condensed balance sheet data as of June 30, 2007 for Equinix and IXEurope, as adjusted to comply with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States or U.S. GAAP, as if the IXEurope Acquisition, IXEurope Acquisition Financings and Other Significant Subsequent Events had been consummated on that date. In addition to certain U.S. GAAP adjustments, certain balance sheet reclassifications have also been reflected in order to conform IXEurope’s balance sheet with the company’s balance sheet presentation. Refer to Note 2 for a discussion of these U.S. GAAP and reclassification adjustments.

The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated condensed statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 and for the six months ended June 30, 2007 combines the results of operations of Equinix and IXEurope, as adjusted to comply with U.S. GAAP, as if the IXEurope Acquisition, IXEurope Acquisition Financings and Other Significant Subsequent Events had been consummated on January 1, 2006. In addition to certain U.S. GAAP adjustments, certain statements of operations reclassifications have also been reflected in order to conform with the Company’s statements of operations presentation. Refer to Note 3 for a discussion of these U.S. GAAP and reclassification adjustments.

In July and August 2007, the Company entered into forward contracts to purchase 265,156,000 British pounds at an average forward rate of 2.020007, or the equivalent of $535,617,000, to be delivered in September 2007, for purposes of hedging a portion of the purchase price of the IXEurope Acquisition (the “IXEurope Acquisition Foreign Exchange Hedge”). The Company will be accounting for these forward contracts under the Company’s current accounting policies for hedging activities as disclosed in the Company’s last annual report on Form 10-K, which are based on the provisions of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended. The effects of the IXEurope Acquisition Foreign Exchange Hedge have not been reflected in the pro forma statements of operations as the hedge is directly attributable to the acquisition and is non-recurring. Upon closing and completing its accounting for the IXEurope Acquisition, the Company will record a foreign exchange gain or loss in its statement of operations based on the prevailing exchange rate between U.S. dollars and British pounds on such date.

IXEurope’s balance sheet has been translated into U.S. dollars at the June 30, 2007 exchange rate of GBP £1.00. = USD $2.0016

The adjustments presented above to IXEurope’s balance sheet are as follows:

 

  (i) Reflects a U.S. GAAP reclassification of restricted cash totaling £2,076,000 to other assets.

 

  (ii) Reflects a reclassification adjustment to segregate prepaid expenses and other current assets totaling £2,680,000 from accounts receivables, which IXEurope refers to as trade receivables.

 

  (iii) Reflects the following U.S. GAAP adjustments (in thousands):

 

Installation costs

   £ 2,976  

Business combinations

     (776 )
        
   £ 2,200  
        

Under IFRS, installation costs related to installation fees charged to customers are expensed as incurred. Under U.S. GAAP, installation costs are deferred and amortized over the same period as the related installation fee revenue. The adjustment totaling £2,976,000 reflects the deferral of such installation costs.

Under IFRS, negative goodwill arising from a business combination is recognized directly in the statement of operations. Under U.S. GAAP, negative goodwill is allocated against the carrying value of the assets acquired, which in IXEurope’s case, was predominantly property and equipment. The adjustment totaling £776,000 reflects the net impact of the allocation of negative goodwill to property and equipment.

 

  (iv) Reflects the following U.S. GAAP and reclassification adjustments (in thousands):

 

Total goodwill and net intangible assets under IFRS

   £ (3,726 )

Intangible asset reclassification adjustment

     204  
        
   £ (3,522 )
        

The above reflects a reclassification separating net intangible assets from goodwill in order to conform IXEurope’s balance sheet presentation to Equinix’s balance sheet presentation.

 

Reclassification adjustment per above

Business combinations U.S. GAAP adjustment

     (268 )
        
   £ 3,254  
        

Prior to adopting IFRS in 2005, IXEurope’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United Kingdom or U.K. GAAP. Under IFRS, IXEurope accounts for all business combinations by applying the acquisition method. In respect of business combinations that have occurred since January 1, 2004, goodwill represents the difference between the cost of the acquisition and the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired. IXEurope elected not to apply IFRS 3, “Business Combinations”, to business combinations that were recognized on or before January 1, 2004. As a result, the carrying value of purchased goodwill recognized under U.K. GAAP was treated as a deemed cost upon the transition to IFRS. Under U.K. GAAP, goodwill arising from acquisitions was capitalized and amortized over the period of its expected useful life of ten years. Goodwill is no longer amortized since the transition to IFRS but is

tested annually for impairment. Under U.S. GAAP, goodwill ceased to be an amortizable asset effective January 1, 2002. Therefore, there is a difference between U.S. GAAP and U.K. GAAP in accounting for the amortization of goodwill prior to IXEurope’s adoption of IFRS, resulting in higher carrying values for goodwill under U.S. GAAP compared to IFRS. This increase in goodwill is offset by another IFRS to U.S. GAAP adjustment relating to the benefit of pre-acquisition tax losses carry-forward positions that are recognized subsequently and adjusted against the historically recognized goodwill, then intangible assets and finally reduce income tax expenses. The above adjustment totaling £268,000 represents the net adjustment to goodwill under U.S. GAAP.

 

  (v) Reflects a U.S. GAAP reclassification of debt issuance costs totaling £2,454,000, which are netted against the associated debt under IFRS.

 

  (vi) Reflects a reclassification adjustment to conform IXEurope’s balance sheet presentation to Equinix’s balance sheet adjustment by presenting deferred tax assets totaling £626,000 with other assets.

The other liabilities reclassification adjustment is made to conform IXEurope’s balance sheet presentation to Equinix’s balance sheet presentation by presenting these liabilities within other current and non-current liabilities.

The stock options U.S. GAAP adjustment reverses a liability accrued under IFRS as a liability for payroll taxes which is not recognized under U.S. GAAP until it is crystallized, which is typically when the stock option is exercised.

Under IFRS, negative goodwill arising from a business combination is recognized directly in the statement of operations. Under U.S. GAAP, negative goodwill is allocated against the carrying value of the long-lived assets acquired, which in IXEurope’s case, was property and equipment. The business combinations U.S. GAAP adjustments above reflect the depreciation impact of the allocation of this negative goodwill to property and equipment for both periods presented.

 

  (vi) Under IFRS, gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of a derivative are recognized as they arise in profit or loss unless the derivative is the hedging instrument in a qualifying hedge. IXEurope entered into one hedge relationship using interest rate swaps to hedge the variability in cash flows on variable rate debt (cash flow hedges). U.S. GAAP principles are similar to IFRS. There are, however, differences in their detailed application. In particular, U.S. GAAP requires effectiveness testing to be performed at least quarterly. As a result, the IXEurope has not designated any hedge relationships for U.S. GAAP purposes. Therefore, all changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps are recognized in the statements of operation. As a result, these adjustments reflect the changes in fair value of such interest rate swaps, which is an increase to interest income for both periods presented.

 

  (vii) Under IFRS, a shareholder loan and some convertible deep discount bonds that IXEurope had outstanding during the first half of 2006 were recorded at fair value on January 1, 2005, being the transition date for International Accounting Standard or, IAS 32, “Financial Instruments: Presentation” and IAS 39, “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.” The fair value at that date was then allocated between the liability and equity components. Subsequently the debt component is accounted for as a financial liability measured at amortized cost and the amount credited directly to equity is not subsequently remeasured. Under U.S. GAAP, the conversion features are not separated from the shareholder loan and convertible deep discount bonds. Under U.S. GAAP since the shareholder loan is non-interest bearing, the difference between the proceeds received and the present value of the repayments due has been recorded as a capital contribution. The adjustment totaling £200,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006 represents a corresponding adjustment to interest expense under U.S. GAAP related to this shareholder loan and convertible deep discount bonds, which were converted into equity during the first half of 2006.

 

  (viii) Represents the income tax effects of the various U.S. GAAP adjustments.

4. PURCHASE PRICE—IXEUROPE

The following represents the preliminary allocation of the purchase price over the historical net book values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of IXEurope as of June 30, 2007, and is for illustrative purposes only. Actual fair values will be based on financial information as of the acquisition date.

 

16


NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

 

The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated condensed financial statements reflect an estimated purchase price of approximately $543,669,000, consisting of (a) 268,126,000 British pounds or approximately $536,681,000 (as translated using effective exchange rates at June 30, 2007), which is payable in cash and (b) estimated direct transaction costs of $6,988,000. The final purchase price is dependent on the exchange rates in effect at closing and actual direct acquisition costs. The final purchase price will be determined upon completion of the IXEurope Acquisition.

Under the purchase method of accounting, the total estimated purchase price is allocated to IXEurope’s net tangible and intangible assets based upon their estimated fair value as of the date of completion of the merger. Based upon the estimated purchase price and the preliminary valuation, the preliminary purchase price allocation, which is subject to change based on Equinix’s final analysis, is as follows (in thousands):

 

Cash and cash equivalents

   $ 7,806  

Accounts receivable

     12,016  

Other current assets

     5,364  

Property and equipment

     131,935  

Goodwill

     404,975  

Intangible asset—customer contracts

     63,050  

Other assets

     12,085  
        

Total assets acquired

     637,231  

Accounts payable and accrued expenses

     (20,614 )

Accrued property and equipment

     (9,432 )

Current portion of capital leases

     (1,143 )

Current portion of loan payable

     (490 )

Other current liabilities

     (8,629 )

Capital leases, less current portion

     (2,990 )

Loan payable

     (38,653 )

Unfavorable leases

     (1,483 )

Other liabilities

     (500 )

Estimated IXEurope transaction costs

     (9,628 )
        

Net assets acquired

   $ 543,669  
        

A preliminary estimate of $63,050,000 has been allocated to customer contracts, an intangible asset with an estimated useful life of eleven years. A preliminary estimate of $1,483,000 has been allocated to unfavorable lease liability with an estimated life of 7.5 years.

A preliminary estimate of $404,975,000 has been allocated to goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” goodwill will not be amortized and will be tested for impairment at least annually. The preliminary purchase price allocation for IXEurope is subject to revision as more detailed analysis is completed and additional information on the fair values of IXEurope’s assets and liabilities becomes available. Any changes in the fair value of the net assets of IXEurope will change the amount of the purchase price allocable to goodwill. Additionally, changes in IXEurope’s working capital, including the results of operations from June 30, 2007 through the date the transaction is completed, will also change the amount of goodwill recorded. Final purchase accounting adjustments may therefore differ materially from the pro forma adjustments presented here.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

 

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

The pro forma adjustments do not reflect any integration adjustments to be incurred in connection with the acquisition 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.

5. IXEUROPE ACQUISITION FINANCINGS

The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated condensed financial statements reflect the Senior Bridge Loan being terminated unused as described above.

As of June 30, 2007, the Company had incurred $2,864,000 of debt issuance costs in securing the Senior Bridge Loan. Upon termination of the Senior Bridge Loan, the Company will, therefore, record a loss on extinguishment of debt totaling $2,864,000 reflecting the immediate write-off of all such debt issuance costs.

The Common Stock Offering reflects the sale of 3,662,556 shares of the Company’s common stock at a public offering price of $84.05 per share, resulting in anticipated net proceeds to the Company of $295,459,000 after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses.

The Convertible Debt Offering reflects the sale of the Company’s 3.00% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2014, resulting in anticipated net proceeds to the Company of $340,363,000 after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. The total estimated debt issuance costs of $9,638,000 will be amortized to interest expense over the seven-year term of the Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2014.

The completion of each offering is conditioned upon the concurrent completion of the other offering.

6. CHICAGO IBX FINANCING

In July and August 2007, the Company received additional advances under the Chicago IBX Financing totaling $19,063,000, bringing the cumulative Loan Payable to date to $88,326,000 with a blended interest rate of 8.125% per annum. As a result, the remaining amount available to borrow from the Chicago IBX Financing totals $21,674,000. The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated condensed statements of operations reflect the total Loan Payable under the Chicago IBX Financing totaling $88,326,000 as if it had been outstanding on January 1, 2006.

7. SAN JOSE PROPERTY ACQUISITION

In July 2007, the Company closed on the San Jose Property Acquisition and, as a result, took title to the property and paid the remaining amount due of $58,732,000, including closing costs, in cash following the $6,500,000 cash deposit paid in January 2007. In conjunction with the purchase of this property, which it formerly leased, the Company wrote-off the associated deferred rent and asset retirement obligation totaling $1,386,000 and $138,000, respectively, and as a result recorded property and equipment totaling $63,708,000. The Company assessed the building, site improvements and land elements of the San Jose Property Acquisition and then assigned the relative fair value to each element. The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated condensed statements of operations reflect the San Jose Property Acquisition as if it had been purchased on January 1, 2006 and reflects increased depreciation and property tax expense, offset partially by the rent expense savings.

8. ASIA-PACIFIC FINANCING

In August 2007, two wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, located in Singapore and Tokyo, Japan, entered into an approximately $40,000,000 multi-currency credit facility agreement or the Asia-Pacific Financing. The Asia-Pacific Financing has a four-year term that allows these two subsidiaries to borrow up to 23,250,000 Singapore dollars and 2,932,500,000 Japanese yen, respectively, during the first 12-month period with repayment to occur over the remaining three years in twelve equal quarterly installments. The combined total amount available for borrowing under the two currencies is approximately equal to $40,000,000. Amounts undrawn at the end of the first 12-month period shall be canceled. The Asia-Pacific Financing has a commitment fee of 0.3% on unutilized amounts during the 12-month draw period and bears interest at a floating rate (the relevant three-month local cost of funds for Singapore and Japan, as applicable, plus 1.85%-2.50% depending on the ratio of the Company’s senior indebtedness to its earnings before interest, taxes, deprecation and amortization, or EBITDA, with interest payable quarterly. The Asia-Pacific Financing may be used by these two subsidiaries to fund capital expenditures on leasehold improvements, equipment, and other installation costs related to expansion plans in Singapore and Tokyo. The Asia-Pacific Financing has several financial covenants, with which the Company must comply quarterly, is guaranteed by Equinix and is secured by certain of Equinix’s Asia-Pacific assets. In September 2007, the Company borrowed 18,282,000 Singapore dollars at an initial interest rate per annum of 4.6625% and 1,476,833,000 Japanese yen at an initial interest rate per annum of 2.687%. Collectively the amounts borrowed equal approximately $24,750,000 leaving approximately $15,250,000 remaining to borrow under the Asia-Pacific Financing.

The debt issuance costs related to the Asia-Pacific Financing totaling approximately $614,000 were capitalized and will be amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the four-year life of the Asia-Pacific Financing.

The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated condensed statements of operations reflect the advances to date under the Asia-Pacific Financing totaling $24,750,000 as if they had been outstanding on January 1, 2006.
