Redwood City, CA,  February 28, 2013 – Equinix, Inc. (NASDAQ: EQIX), the global interconnection and data center company, today announced that it has priced an offering of $500 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.875% senior notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes”) and $1,000 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.375% senior notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes,” and, together with the 2020 Notes, the “Notes”), an increase in combined aggregate principal amount from the $1 billion 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).
