REDWOOD CITY, Calif. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Equinix, Inc. (NASDAQ:EQIX), a provider of global data center services,
today announced that it has priced an offering of $750 million aggregate
principal amount of its 7.00% senior notes due 2021, an increase from
the $500 million offering of notes previously announced. The offering is
being made pursuant to an automatically effective shelf registration
statement (including a preliminary prospectus relating to the offering)
on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The offering
is expected to close on July 13, 2011, subject to customary closing

The notes will be Equinix's general senior obligations and will rank
equal in right of payment to all of its existing and future senior
indebtedness. Interest will be payable semi-annually at a rate of 7.00%
per year. The notes will mature on July 15, 2021 and are redeemable by
Equinix prior to maturity at a premium under certain circumstances.
The net proceeds to Equinix from this offering will be approximately
$736 million after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated
offering expenses payable by it. Equinix intends to use the net proceeds
from this offering for general corporate purposes, which may include
capital expenditures, repayment of its 2.50% convertible subordinated
notes due 2012 upon maturity, working capital and potential
acquisitions. Currently, however, Equinix does not have any agreements
or understandings with respect to any such material strategic
transactions or acquisitions.
