Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On May 21, 2009, Switch & Data Facilities Company, Inc. (“Switch and Data”), along with certain of its subsidiaries, completed a settlement agreement with certain persons who had filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin styled 625 Milwaukee LLC et al v.

In the lawsuit (which was previously described in our Registration Statement on Form S-1, our Annual Reports on Form 10-K and each of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q), the Plaintiffs advanced claims in connection with an alleged failure by the Company or its subsidiary to execute a lease in October 2000 for a building in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and sought damages totaling approximately $4.6 million. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, and in exchange for the execution of mutual full and general releases of all claims which were raised or could have been raised in the referenced matter and a dismissal of the lawsuit with prejudice, Switch and Data paid the sum of $850 thousand to the Plaintiffs.

A copy of the Settlement Agreement is attached to this Current Report as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
