Carpathia Acquisition

On June 16, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding stock of Carpathia Hosting, Inc. (“Carpathia”), a Virginia-based colocation, cloud and managed services provider for approximately $326 million (as defined in the purchase and sale agreement). Upon completion of this acquisition, the Company assumed all of the assets and liabilities of Carpathia Acquisition, Inc. Carpathia Acquisition, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Carpathia, became indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. Carpathia is  a  provider of colocation, hybrid cloud and Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) servicing enterprise customers and federal agencies, with a customer base of approximately 230 customers as of June 16, 2015.  Carpathia utilizes eight domestic data centers located in Dulles, Virginia; Phoenix, Arizona; San Jose, California; Harrisonburg, Virginia and Ashburn, Virginia; and five international data centers located in Toronto; Amsterdam; London; Hong Kong and Sydney.

 

The Company accounted for this acquisition in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, as a business combination. The preliminary purchase price allocation was based on an assessment of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and excludes acquisition-related costs which in accordance with ASC 805 were expensed as incurred. The Company is valuing the assets acquired and liabilities assumed using Level 3 inputs.

 

The following table summarizes the consideration for the Carpathia acquisition and the preliminary allocation of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date (in thousands). This allocation is subject to change pending the final valuation of these assets and liabilities:

The following table represents the pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, and for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 (in thousands):

These amounts have been calculated after applying the Company’s accounting policies, and give effect to the Carpathia acquisition, related issuance of equity and certain historical transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2014, including the acquisition of the Princeton, NJ facility discussed below, the issuance of $300 million of senior unsecured notes, the issuance of approximately $387 million of Class A common stock, the acquisition of the Chicago, IL facility and the modification of the unsecured credit facility and the credit facility secured by the Richmond Property resulting in decreased interest rates on both. The purchase price allocation for this acquisition has been prepared on a preliminary basis.  Accordingly, the purchase accounting adjustments made in connection with the development of the unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations are preliminary and subject to change.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is for comparative purposes only and not necessarily indicative of what actual results of operations of the Company would have been had the transactions noted above been consummated on January 1, 2014, nor does it purport to represent the results of operations for future periods.

Revenue and net income generated by Carpathia subsequent to the Company’s acquisition from June 16, 2015 to June 30, 2015 were $3.7 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Princeton Acquisition

On June 30, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of a data center facility in New Jersey (the “Princeton facility”), from McGraw Hill Financial, Inc., for an aggregate cost of approximately $73.3 million. This facility is located on approximately 194 acres and consists of approximately 560,000 gross square feet, including approximately 58,000 square feet of raised floor, and 12 MW of gross power. This acquisition was funded with a draw on the unsecured revolving credit facility. Concurrently with acquiring this data center the Company entered into a 10 year lease for the facility’s 58,000 square feet of raised floor with Atos, an international information technology services company headquartered in Bezos, France. The lease includes, at the option of Atos, the ability to renew for up to 15 years.

 

The Company accounted for this acquisition in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, as a business combination. The preliminary purchase price allocation was based on an assessment of the fair value of the assets acquired, and excludes acquisition-related costs which in accordance with ASC 805 were expensed as incurred.  The Company acquired the Princeton facility on June 30, 2014. The Company valued the assets acquired using Level 3 inputs.
