Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On July 5, 2016, Equinix, Inc. (Equinix) completed the previously announced transaction (the Transaction) with the Digital Realty
Trust, Inc. group of companies (collectively, Digital Realty) in which Digital Realty acquired certain of Equinixs facilities in Amsterdam, Frankurt and London (the Divestment Businesses). In connection with the
closing, Equinix received consideration of approximately $874 million in cash.
The Transaction was related to Equinixs acquisition of Telecity

Businesses post-closing of the Telecity Acquisition.
Digital Realty, or its affiliates, is currently Equinixs landlord at other data center
properties in the United States, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and France. Additionally, Equinix has a small number of customer contracts in place with Digital Realty. Equinix also holds a minority stake in a joint venture with an affiliate of
Digital Realty. Such joint venture leases two buildings to a third party in Ashburn, Virginia.
