As previously announced, Switch and Data stockholders may revoke their elections at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on the date that is two business days preceding the closing date of the merger by delivering to the exchange agent a written notice of revocation. Accordingly, the election results described above are preliminary and may change as a result of such revocations. Shares of Switch and Data common stock as to which an election has been revoked after the election deadline will be deemed non-electing shares, and no new election as to such shares may be made after the election deadline.
Equinix does not intend to update these election results in the future and assumes no obligation to do so.
Completion of the merger remains subject to the expiration or termination of the waiting period imposed by the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976, as amended, and the satisfaction or waiver of the other closing conditions specified in the merger agreement between Equinix and Switch and Data. The merger is expected to close in the second quarter of 2010. Switch and Data will announce the expected closing date of the merger by issuing a press release and filing that press release on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission no later than five business days before the expected closing date.
