On July 19, 2007, the boards of Equinix UK Limited (“Equinix UK”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Equinix, Inc. (“Equinix”), and IXEurope plc (“IXEurope”) announced that they had reached agreement on the terms of a proposed acquisition (the “Acquisition”), under which Equinix UK will acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of IXEurope at 140 pence for each IXEurope share. It is intended that the Acquisition be implemented by way of a scheme of arrangement (the “Scheme”).
On July 17, 2007, Equinix UK and IXEurope filed with the High Court of Justice (the “Court”) in England a draft scheme document related to the Scheme (the “Scheme Document”). A hearing was held before the Court on July 23, 2007 at which the Court approved the final form of Scheme Document to be mailed to shareholders of IXEurope. On July 26, 2007, IXEurope announced that the Scheme Document was mailed to its shareholders. The Court Meeting and Extraordinary General Meeting in relation to the Scheme have been convened for August 20, 2007. Assuming shareholder approval, approval of the Court and satisfaction of other conditions to closing, the Acquisition is expected to be completed in September 2007.
A copy of the Scheme Document, which contains additional information about the proposed Acquisition, is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. The attached exhibit is provided under this Item 7.01 of Form 8-K and is furnished to, but not filed with, the Securities and Exchange Commission.
