The Company intends to finance the majority of the cost of the acquisition, following an initial $6.5 million deposit. Although the closing date is yet to be determined, it will occur no later than November 2007. Equinix's flagship Internet Business Exchange™ (IBX®) center in San Jose is one of four IBXs currently occupied by the Company in the Silicon Valley area.
“Like the purchase of our Washington DC area campus in 2005, we have acquired our Silicon Valley IBX, a strategic interconnection hub on the West Coast. The acquisition will enable us to gain long-term control of this strategic IBX center,” said Peter Van Camp, chairman and CEO, Equinix. "Furthermore, this deal may provide us with greater options in potentially expanding our IBX footprint in this important market to meet the growing demand for our colocation and network interconnectivity services."
