(415) 255-6506 dave@kfcomm.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE EQUINIX RETIRES $25 MILLION IN SENIOR NOTES ACCELERATING TIME TO PROFITABILITY Company Retires Notes at Fraction of Face Value, Reducing Debt Service by Nearly $45 Million and Increasing Liquidity Mountain View, CA - March 7, 2002 -- Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX), the leading provider of core Internet exchange services, today announced that the company has retired $25 million of its 13% Senior Notes due in 2007 in exchange for approximately 9 million shares of Equinix's common stock. The total number of common stock shares outstanding upon completion of the exchange is approximately 89 million shares. The retirement of these Senior Notes will result in a savings of approximately $3.25 million per annum in interest expense, and will be realized over the full year beginning in FY2002. In total, Equinix has reduced its interest payments on the retired Senior Notes beginning January 2002 through December 2007 by $19.5 million. Together with the $25.0 million in principal payments that would otherwise have come due in December 2007, Equinix has reduced its debt service on the retired Senior Notes by nearly $45 million. "As indicated in our last earnings call, we are driving to become profitable, on a net income basis, in the first half of 2003," said Peter Van Camp, chairman and CEO of Equinix. "The retirement of $25 million of our Senior Notes at significant discounts, together with the $45 million paydown of our senior credit facility in fourth quarter 2001, accelerates the company's time to profitability and increases the likelihood of Equinix reaching cash flow positive by the end of this year."
