Scheme of Arrangement Update

IXEurope plc ('IXEurope', AIM:IXE) announces that, at a hearing held earlier today, the Court sanctioned the Scheme of Arrangement by which the recommended acquisition of IXEurope by Equinix UK Limited (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Equinix, Inc.) ('Equinix') is to be effected and confirmed the associated reduction of capital.

It is expected that the Court Order will be delivered to and registered with the Registrar of Companies, and the Scheme will become effective, on 14 September 2007.

The last day of dealings in IXEurope Shares will be 13 September 2007. In a change from the expected timetable of principal events published in the Scheme Document, the Company will request that the trading in the IXEurope Shares on AIM be suspended with effect from 7:30am on 14 September 2007 and then cancelled with effect from 7:30am on 17 September 2007.

It is expected that the consideration payable to the Company's former Shareholders will be despatched by 28 September 2007.

Capitalised terms in this announcement have the same meaning as in the Scheme Document dated 26 July 2007.

The release, publication or distribution of this announcement in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law and therefore persons in such jurisdictions into which this announcement is released, published or distributed should inform themselves about and observe such restrictions.

This announcement has been prepared for the purpose of complying with English law, the AIM Rules and the City Code and the information disclosed may not be the same as that which would have been disclosed if this announcement had been prepared in accordance with the laws and regulations of any jurisdiction outside the United Kingdom.

Notice to shareholders of IXEurope in the United States: the Acquisition relates to the shares of a company incorporated in England and Wales and are proposed to be implemented by means of a scheme of arrangement provided for under English company law. A transaction effected by means of a scheme of arrangement is not subject to the tender offer rules under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Accordingly, the Acquisition is subject to the disclosure requirements and practices applicable in England and Wales to schemes of arrangement which differ from the disclosure requirements of the tender offer rules under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Financial information included in the relevant documentation will have been prepared in accordance with accounting standards applicable in the United Kingdom that may not be comparable to the financial statements of companies in the United States.

Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the City Code, if any person is, or becomes, 'interested' (directly or indirectly) in 1% or more of any class of 'relevant securities' of IXEurope, all 'dealings' in any 'relevant securities' of that company (including by means of an option in respect of, or a derivative referenced to, any such 'relevant securities') must be publicly disclosed by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the London business day following the date of the relevant transaction. This requirement will continue until the date on which the offer becomes, or is declared, unconditional as to acceptances, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn or on which the 'offer period' otherwise ends. If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire an 'interest' in 'relevant securities' of IXEurope, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3.

'Interests in securities' arise, in summary, when a person has long economic exposure, whether conditional or absolute, to changes in the price of securities. In particular, a person will be treated as having an 'interest' by virtue of the ownership or control of securities, or by virtue of any option in respect of, or derivative referenced to, securities.

Terms in quotation marks are defined in the City Code, which can also be found on the Panel's website. If you are in any doubt as to whether or not you are required to disclose a 'dealing' under Rule 8, you should consult the Panel.
