PURPOSE OF MEETING

The specific proposals to be considered and acted upon at the Annual Meeting are summarized in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Each proposal is described in more detail in this Proxy Statement.

VOTING RIGHTS AND SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

The Company’s common stock and series A preferred stock are the only type of securities entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On April 29, 2003, the record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, there were 8,518,790 shares of common stock outstanding and 1,868,667 shares of series A preferred stock outstanding. Each stockholder of record on April 29, 2003 is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock or series A preferred stock held by such stockholder on April 29, 2003. All votes will be tabulated by the inspector of elections appointed for the meeting, who will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes.

Quorum Required

The Company’s bylaws provide that the holders of a majority of the Company’s common stock and voting preferred stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.

Votes Required

Proposal 1. Directors are elected by a plurality of the affirmative votes cast by those shares present in person, or represented by proxy, and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. The eight (8) nominees for director receiving the highest number of affirmative votes will be elected. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted toward a nominee’s total.

Proposal 2. Ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company’s independent accountants for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2003 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of those shares present in person, or represented by proxy, and cast either affirmatively or negatively at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as having been voted on the proposal.

Proposal 3. The approval of the issuance of our stock in connection with the financing requires the affirmative vote of a majority of those shares present in person, or represented by proxy, and cast either affirmatively or negatively at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as having been voted on the proposal.

Proxies

Whether or not you are able to attend the Company’s Annual Meeting, you are urged to complete and return the enclosed proxy, which is solicited by the Company’s Board of Directors and which will be voted as you direct on your proxy when properly completed. In the event no directions are specified, such proxies will be voted FOR the nominees of the Board of Directors (as set forth in Proposal 1), FOR Proposal 2, FOR Proposal 3, and in the discretion of the proxy holders as to other matters that may properly come before the Annual Meeting. You may also revoke or change your proxy at any time before the Annual Meeting. To do this, send a written notice of revocation or another signed proxy with a later date to the Secretary of the Company at the Company’s principal executive offices before the beginning of the Annual Meeting.

Except for grants of stock options, directors of the Company generally do not receive compensation for services provided as a director or for participation on any committee of the Board of Directors. Directors are not reimbursed for their out-of-pocket expenses in serving on the Board of Directors or any committee of the Board of Directors. Non-employee directors are eligible to receive options under the Company’s 2000 Director Option Plan (the “Directors’ Plan”). Each non-employee director receives an option for 7,000 shares of the Company’s common stock upon joining the Board. The option becomes exercisable and vests in four equal annual installments from the date of grant. In addition, at each of the Company’s annual stockholders’ meetings, each non-employee director who will continue to be a director after that meeting will automatically be granted at that meeting an option for 2,500 shares of the Company’s common stock. This option becomes fully exercisable and fully vested on the first anniversary of the date of grant. However, a new non-employee director who is receiving the initial option will not receive the annual option in the same calendar year.

The following table sets forth for each of the non-employee directors the number of securities underlying options held by the non-employee directors at December 31, 2002:

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The Compensation Committee has the exclusive authority to establish the level of base salary payable to the chief executive officer (“CEO”) and certain other executive officers of the Company and authority to administer the Company’s 2000 Equity Incentive Plan, 2001 Supplemental Option Plan and Employee Stock Purchase Plan. In addition, the Compensation Committee has the responsibility for approving the individual bonus programs to be in effect for the CEO and certain other executive officers and other key employees each fiscal year.

For the 2002 fiscal year, the process utilized by the Compensation Committee in determining executive officer compensation levels was based on the subjective judgment of the Compensation Committee. Among the factors considered by the Compensation Committee were the recommendations of the CEO with respect to the compensation of the Company’s key executive officers. However, the Committee makes the final compensation decisions concerning such officers.

General Compensation Policy. The Compensation Committee’s fundamental policy is to offer the Company’s executive officers competitive compensation opportunities based upon overall Company performance, their individual contribution to the financial success of the Company and their personal performance. It is the Committee’s objective to have each officer’s compensation reflect his or her own contribution to the Company and level of performance. Each executive officer’s compensation package consists of: (i) base salary, (ii) long-term stock-based incentive awards and (iii) bonuses.

Base Salary. The base salary for each executive officer is set on the basis of general market levels and personal performance. Each individual’s base pay is positioned relative to the total compensation package, including cash incentives and long-term incentives.

Discretionary Bonuses. Due to economic conditions and the Company’s focus on conserving cash, the Company did not have an annual cash bonus program for 2002. Mr. Ferris, the Company’s Vice President of Sales, in the only executive officer who currently has an annual bonus as part of his compensation. Mr. Ferris’ bonus is contingent on his individual performance objectives. For 2002, Mr. Ferris earned a portion of his annual bonus. In addition, Mr. Ferris and Ms. Backaus are entitled to reimbursement of home mortgage interest payments through December 2003 in connection with housing assistance loans they received when they were hired that were subsequently repaid early. In addition, the Company grants one-time discretionary cash or stock bonuses to executive officers for exceptional performance. For 2002, Ms. Lanam and Mr. Taylor were granted cash bonuses for their efforts in completing the combination and financing transactions.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation. During fiscal 2002, the Compensation Committee approved option grants to the executive officers largely in consideration of the challenges facing the Company, high exercise prices for the officers’ existing options and the decision to reduce bonuses in order to conserve corporate cash. Generally, a significant grant is made in the year that an officer commences employment. Thereafter, option grants may be made at varying times and in varying amounts in the discretion of the Compensation Committee. Generally, the size of each grant is set at a level that the Committee deems appropriate to create a meaningful opportunity for stock ownership based upon the individual’s position with the Committee, the individual’s potential for future responsibility and promotion, the individual’s performance in the recent period, the exercise prices of that individual’s outstanding options relative to current market value, and the number of unvested options held by the individual at the time of the new grant. The relative weight given to each of these factors will vary from individual to individual at the Compensation Committee’s discretion.

Each grant allows the officer to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock at a fixed price per share (the market price on the grant date) over a specified period of time. The option vests in periodic installments over a two to four year period, contingent upon the executive officer’s continued employment with the Company. The vesting schedule and the number of shares granted are established to ensure a meaningful incentive in each year following the year of grant. Accordingly, the option will provide a return to the executive officer only if he or she

remains in the Company’s employ, and then only if the market price of the Company’s common stock appreciates over the option term.

CEO Compensation. The annual base salary for Mr. Van Camp, the Company’s CEO, was established in connection with his commencement of employment in 2000 and has not been increased since that date. No bonus was paid to the CEO for 2002. An option was granted during fiscal 2002 based on the same factors as for the executive officers.

Tax Limitation. Under the Federal tax laws, a publicly held company such as the Company will not be allowed a federal income tax deduction for compensation paid to certain executive officers to the extent that compensation exceeds $1 million per officer in any year. To qualify for an exemption from the $1 million deduction limitation, the stockholders approved a limitation under the Company’s 2000 Equity Incentive Plan on the maximum number of shares of common stock for which any one participant may be granted stock options per fiscal year. Because this limitation was adopted, any compensation deemed paid to an executive officer when he exercises an outstanding option under the 2000 Equity Incentive Plan with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the option shares on the grant date will qualify as performance-based compensation that will not be subject to the $1 million limitation. Since it is not expected that the cash compensation to be paid to the Company’s executive officers for the 2002 fiscal year will exceed the $1 million limit per officer, the Compensation Committee will defer any decision on whether to limit the dollar amount of all other compensation payable to the Company’s executive officers to the $1 million cap.

STOCK PERFORMANCE GRAPH

The graph set forth below compares the cumulative total stockholder return on the Company’s common stock between August 11, 2000 (the date the Company’s common stock commenced public trading) and December 31, 2002 with the cumulative total return of (i) the CRSP Total Return Index for the Nasdaq Stock Market (U.S. Companies) (the “Nasdaq Stock Market-U.S. Index”), (ii) the Nasdaq Telecommunications Index and (iii) our peer group of companies which as of the end of our last fiscal year were the companies that comprised the Goldman Sachs Internet Index over the same period. This graph assumes the investment of $100.00 on August 11, 2000, in the Company’s common stock, the Nasdaq Stock Market-U.S. Index, the Nasdaq Telecommunications Index and the Goldman Sachs Internet Index and assumes the reinvestment of dividends, if any.

The comparisons shown in the graph below are based upon historical data. The Company cautions that the stock price performance shown in the graph below is not indicative of, nor intended to forecast, the potential future performance of the Company’s common stock.

The options in the table that show an expiration date of February 19, 2012 were granted on February 19, 2002 and the options in the table that show an expiration date of April 22, 2012 were granted on April 22, 2002. These options are exercisable in 48 equal monthly installments from the grant date. The plan administrator has the discretionary authority to re-price the options through the cancellation of those options and the grant of replacement options with an exercise price based on the fair market value of the option shares on the re-grant date. The options have a maximum term of 10 years measured from the option grant date, subject to earlier termination in the event of the optionee’s cessation of service with the Company. Under each of the options, the option shares vest upon an acquisition of the Company by merger or asset sale, unless the acquiring entity or its parent corporation assumes the outstanding options. Any options which are assumed or replaced in the transaction and do not otherwise accelerate at that time automatically accelerate (and any unvested option shares which do not otherwise vest at that time automatically vest) in the event the optionee’s service terminates by reason of an involuntary or constructive termination within 18 months following the transaction.

(2)

Based on an aggregate of 139,618 shares subject to options granted in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002.

(3)

The exercise price for each option may be paid in cash, in shares of common stock valued at fair market value on the exercise date or through a cashless exercise procedure involving a same-day sale of the purchased shares. The Company may also finance the option exercise by loaning the optionee sufficient funds to pay the exercise price for the purchased shares, together with any federal and state income tax liability incurred by the optionee in connection with such exercise.

(4)

In accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the table sets forth the hypothetical gains or “option spreads” that would exist for the options at the end of their respective ten-year terms based on assumed annualized rates of compound stock price appreciation of 5% and 10% from the dates the options were granted to the end of the respective option terms. Actual gains, if any, on option exercises are dependent on the future performance of the Company’s common stock and overall market conditions. There can be no assurance that the potential realizable values shown in this table will be achieved.

Aggregate Option Exercises in 2002 and Fiscal Year-End Option Values

No options were exercised by the Named Executive Officers in 2002. The following table sets forth for each of the Named Executive Officers the number and value of securities underlying options held by the Named Executive Officers at December 31, 2002:

Name	Number of Securities Underlying Unexercised Options at December 31, 2002 (#)		Value of Unexercised In-The-Money Options at December 31, 2002 (1)

Based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock as of December 31, 2002 ($5.70 per share), minus the exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares underlying the options.

Employment Agreements, Change of Control Arrangements and Severance Agreements

The Compensation Committee, as plan administrator of the 2000 Equity Incentive Plan, has the authority to provide for accelerated vesting of the shares of common stock subject to outstanding options held by the Named Executive Officers and any other person in connection with certain changes in control of Equinix. In connection with the adoption of the 2000 Equity Incentive Plan, the Company has provided that upon a change in control of the Company, each outstanding option and all shares of restricted stock will generally become fully vested unless the surviving corporation assumes the option or award or replaces it with a comparable award. Any options which are assumed or replaced in the transaction and do not otherwise accelerate at that time shall automatically accelerate (and any unvested option shares which do not otherwise vest at that time shall automatically vest) in the event the optionee’s service terminates by reason of an involuntary or constructive termination within 18 months following the transaction. In addition, options granted to the executive officers of the Company prior to the Company’s initial public offering provide for an additional 12 months vesting upon a change in control of the Company and our form of offer letter for officers provides for an additional 12 months of vesting upon a change in control, provided such officer is employed upon the closing of the change in control. Except as noted below, none of the Company’s executive officers have employment agreements with the Company, and their employment may be terminated at any time.

In August 2002, the Company entered into Severance Agreements with its executive officers, Peter Van Camp, Marjorie S. Backaus, Peter Ferris, Philip J. Koen, Renee Lanam, and Keith Taylor. The agreements provide for severance payments equal to the officer’s annual base salary and target bonus in the event such officer’s employment is terminated for any reason other than cause or the officer resigns for good reason as defined in the agreement.

The initial stock option agreement for Peter F. Van Camp, the Company’s chief executive officer, provides that he will vest an additional 12 months in his initial option upon a change in control of the Company.

The Company extended an offer of employment to Marjorie S. Backaus, the Company’s Chief Marketing Officer, pursuant to an offer letter dated October 21, 1999. The agreement provides that she will vest an additional 12 months in her options upon a change in control of the Company.

The Company extended an offer of employment to Peter T. Ferris, the Company’s vice president, worldwide sales, pursuant to an offer letter dated June 28, 1999. The letter provides for acceleration of vesting of option shares for an additional 12 months if there are certain changes in control of the Company.

The Company entered into an agreement on February 8, 2000 with Albert M. Avery, IV, its former vice chairman of the Board of Directors, which provides that his base compensation will be the same as the CEO’s base compensation and also provides for continuation of his salary and continued option vesting for 12 months should his employment with the Company cease. Any options granted to Mr. Avery after February 8, 2000 will allow 24 months to exercise post-termination of employment. On January 1, 2003, the Company entered into an agreement with Albert M. Avery IV relating to his cessation of employment with the Company effective January 6, 2003. Under the agreement, Mr. Avery received severance benefits consisting of a lump sum cash payment of $311,292 pursuant to the terms of his existing employment contract, plus $9,554.52 in payment of COBRA premiums, payment of legal fees to Mr. Avery’s counsel, and a personal computer, blackberry, and cell phone used by Mr. Avery while employed by the Company. In addition, he will continue to vest in his stock options through December 31, 2003 and will have two years to exercise vested options. The agreement also contains certain restrictive covenants, mutual releases and other customary terms and conditions.

PROPOSAL 2

RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

The Company is asking the stockholders to ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company’s independent accountants for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2003. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of shares present or represented by proxy and voting at the Annual Meeting will be required to ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.

In the event the stockholders fail to ratify the appointment, the Board of Directors will reconsider its selection. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of a different independent accounting firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee feels that such a change would be in the Company’s and its stockholders’ best interests.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has audited the Company’s financial statements since 2000. Its representatives are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL 2.

PROPOSAL 3

ISSUANCE OF SHARES IN DEBT FINANCING

Background of the Financing

In recent years, as a part of the continuous evaluation of our business, we have regularly considered a variety of strategic initiatives and transactions with a view toward increasing stockholder value. In this regard, we have explored different strategic alternatives, including the consideration of acquisitions, dispositions and commercial relationships. As a result of these efforts, in December 2002 we issued and sold convertible secured notes and warrants to i-STT Investments Pte Ltd, an affiliate of STT Communications (the “December Financing”) pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated October 2, 2002, as amended (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”). The December Financing, including a description of the convertible secured notes and warrants, is more fully described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement dated December 12, 2002 (the “December Proxy”). At the meeting held in connection with the December Proxy, we obtained stockholder approval for a financing of up to $40 million in exchange for convertible secured notes and warrants under the terms described in the December Proxy. Ultimately, we issued $30 million in convertible secured notes and warrants in the December Financing.

Beginning in late 2002, we, together with our advisors, met with Crosslink Captial (“Crosslink”) numerous times to discuss the terms and conditions of a possible financing transaction. In early February 2003, Crosslink presented a term sheet to the company to invest $10.0 million in the form of convertible secured notes. Throughout February and March 2003, Crosslink met with officers of the Company and conducted extensive due diligence.

On March 6, 2003, our board of directors held a regular meeting during which our board of directors reviewed the proposed term sheet and the general structure of the proposed financing transaction. Following a full discussion, our board of directors determined that the proposed investment by Crosslink is fair to, and in the best interests of, our stockholders and approved the financing and related matters, and authorized our management to finalize the documentation for this financing.

On April 15, 2003, our board of directors held a special meeting during which our board of directors considered modifications to the terms of the Crosslink Financing (as defined below) and determined that the modified investment by Crosslink remains fair to, and in the best interests of, our stockholders.

On April 29, 2003, the parties executed and delivered the securities purchase and admission agreement.

We are now seeking stockholder approval for the sale and issuance to Crosslink of $10.0 million of convertible secured notes and warrants not sold in the December Financing (the “Crosslink Financing”). The notes and warrants issued to Crosslink will be convertible into shares of our common stock. If all of such notes and warrants were converted into shares of our common stock, such shares, in the absence of note and warrant conversions by i-STT Communications, could represent greater than 20% of our outstanding common stock. In addition, the convertible secured notes and warrants proposed to be issued in the Crosslink Financing will have materially different terms with respect to their conversion into our common stock than the notes and warrants approved in the December Financing. Therefore, because the notes will have different terms than those approved in connection with our December Financing and because the shares issuable upon conversion of the notes and warrants into common stock could exceed 20% of our outstanding common stock, we are required under the rules of the Nasdaq National Market to seek stockholder approval for the issuance of notes and warrants to Crosslink. See “Terms of the Debt Financing” below.

Our Reasons for the Financing

Our board of directors believes that the terms of the Crosslink Financing transaction are in our best interests and the interests of our stockholders. Accordingly, at a meeting held on March 6, 2003, our board of directors approved the transaction and recommended that our stockholders approve the issuance of shares of our common stock in connection with the Crosslink Financing. In reaching its determination, our board of directors consulted with our management and advisors, and carefully evaluated the financial terms of the transaction agreements and their effect on the holders of our preferred stock and common stock. Specifically, our board of directors considered the increased financial stability and greater operating flexibility provided by raising additional cash. Our board of directions believes that this value warrants the additional dilution to existing stockholders.

Why We Need Stockholder Approval of the Financing

You are entitled to vote on the approval of the proposed issuance because the securities to be issued are convertible into our common stock which is qualified to trade on The Nasdaq National Market, and the rules of the Nasdaq National Market require us to seek the approval of our stockholders prior to the issuance of securities in connection with a transaction (other than a public offering) involving our sale or issuance of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) equal to 20% or more of the common stock or 20% or more of the voting power outstanding, for less than the greater of book value or market value of the common stock before such issuance (the “Nasdaq 20% Rule”). Accordingly, we are seeking stockholder approval in order to ensure compliance with the Nasdaq 20% Rule, which is required to maintain our listing on the Nasdaq National Market. Stockholder approval of the issuance is not otherwise required as a matter of Delaware law or other applicable laws or rules, or by our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, or by our bylaws.

Interests of Our Directors and Executive Officers

When considering the recommendation of our board of directors that stockholders approve the issuance of shares of common stock in the Crosslink Financing, you should be aware that some of our directors and executive officers have interests in these transactions that are different from, or are in addition to, your interests. Our board of directors was aware of these potential conflicts and considered them. These include:

Directors. Each of the directors nominated for election at this meeting will remain on our board of directors following the closing of the Crosslink Financing. Mr. Dennis Raney was not a member of our board of directors at the March 6, 2003 meeting where the Crosslink Financing was approved.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers. Our executive officers and directors have customary rights to indemnification against losses incurred as a result of action or omission occurring prior to the closing. In addition, our executive officers and directors have customary indemnification agreements that provide for additional indemnification.

Anti-dilution Protection for i-STT Investments Pte. Ltd. As more fully described below, under the terms of the note issued to i-STT Investments, an affiliate of STT Communications, in the December Financing, the rate at which such note converts into our capital stock will be adjusted to protect i-STT Investments from some of the dilutive effects of the investment by Crosslink. Lee Theng Kiat and Jean Mandeville, two of the Company’s directors, are executive officers of STT Communications.

As a result, these directors and executive officers could be more likely to vote in favor of recommending the issuance of shares of common stock in the financing than if they did not hold these interests.

Terms of the Debt Financing

Securities to be Issued. The following securities will be issued under the securities purchase and admission agreement:

•

Series A-2 convertible secured notes due November 1, 2007 with an aggregate principal amount of $10.0 million;

•

warrants to purchase shares of our common stock;

•

warrants to purchase shares of our common stock upon a change of control; and

•

warrants to purchase shares of our common stock upon defaults under our senior credit facility.

Closing Conditions. The issuance and sale of securities in the Crosslink Financing is subject to closing conditions, including:

•

the amendment of Article VII of our bylaws to provide for the nomination of one (1) director designated by Crosslink at each election of our board of directors until such Article terminates in accordance with its terms;

•

the approval of our stockholders of the issuance of securities pursuant to the securities purchase and admission agreement; and

•

the resolution of potential obligations by us to STT Communications regarding outstanding bank guarantees to the satisfaction of Crosslink.

Representations and Warranties; Indemnities and Expenses. The securities purchase and admission agreement includes representations and warranties and incorporates the affirmative and negative covenants and events of default under our credit facility. We will indemnify the holders of the convertible secured notes from specific liabilities, such as environmental liabilities. In addition, we will reimburse $75,000 of fees of counsel to the purchasers under the securities purchase and admission agreement.

Registration Rights. Crosslink will become party to the registration rights agreement we entered into with i-STT Investments which has been amended to grant the right to five demand registrations, the right to participate in other registration statements filed by us (other than employee stock and acquisition related offerings) and the right to register shares on Form S-3 (or Form S-1 if Form S-3 is not available) shares of our common stock issued, directly or indirectly, upon conversion of the notes or exercise of any of the warrants issued under the securities purchase and admission agreement. The registration rights agreement includes our obligation to indemnify or contribute to losses suffered by the holders of securities registered pursuant to that agreement. These losses may include losses incurred under federal securities laws.

Nomination of Directors. Under the provisions of the Bylaws, the number of directors is fixed at nine. The Bylaws currently provide that, until December 31, 2004, or if earlier, the termination of the governance provisions in our bylaws (i) three directors shall be nominated by i-STT Investments, (ii) three directors, known as the Equinix directors, shall be nominated by the three directors appointed to Equinix’s current board of directors by Equinix’s board of directors as it existed prior to December 31, 2002, (iii) prior to May 30, 2003, one director shall be nominated by the former stockholders of Pihana Pacific, Inc. which we acquired on December 31, 2002, and (iv) two directors shall be independent directors nominated by our nominating committee. In connection with the Crosslink Financing, we are required, as a condition to closing, to amend our Bylaws to remove the now obsolete requirement to elect a representative of the former Pihana Pacific stockholders and insert a requirement to nominate a designee of Crosslink. Crosslink will continue to have the right to nominate such director until December 31, 2004, or if earlier, the termination of the governance provisions in the bylaws. Our existing governance provisions are more fully described in our definitive proxy statement dated December 12, 2002.

The Series A-2 Convertible Secured Notes

Principal Amount. Under the securities purchase and admission agreement, Crosslink has committed to purchase an aggregate principal amount of $10.0 million of Series A-2 convertible secured notes.

Security. The Series A-2 convertible secured notes share with our existing Series A-1 convertible secured notes a second priority security interest in all of the collateral securing our and our subsidiaries’ obligations under the credit facility (which excludes the i-STT assets and Pihana’s Singapore assets we purchased on December 31, 2002).

The Series A-2 convertible secured notes will be guaranteed by all of our existing subsidiaries, all of our subsidiaries acquired in the combination (except that the Singapore subsidiaries will guarantee only our previously issued Series A-1 convertible secured notes) and all of our future domestic subsidiaries.

Interest. Interest will begin to accrue on the Series A-2 convertible secured notes at the rate of 10% per year two years after the date of issuance of the Series A-2 convertible secured notes. Interest on the Series A-2 convertible secured notes will be payable in arrears in additional notes of the same series, on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on November 1, 2005 until maturity.

Conversion of Notes. The principal amount of the Series A-2 convertible secured notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at a price of $4.00 per underlying share of our common stock at any time at the option of the holder of such notes. The accrued interest on the Series A-2 convertible secured notes is convertible into shares of our common stock at a price of $4.84 per underlying share of our common stock at any time after such interest is accrued at the option of the holder of such notes.

The conversion price will be adjusted to mitigate or prevent dilution if fundamental changes occur to our common stock, dividends are declared on our common stock or we issue, or contract to issue, shares of our common stock at a price per share below $4.84 per share.

Automatic Conversion of Notes. Following the second anniversary of the closing, 100% of the convertible secured notes will be automatically converted into shares of our common stock, if:

•

the average closing price of our common stock exceeds $15.66 for 30 consecutive trading days;

•

the average daily trading volume of our common stock during that 30-day trading period exceeds 17,188; and

•

we have not received an election not to convert the Series A-2 convertible secured notes from Crosslink within five days of receiving notice from us that the closing price and volume requirements discussed above have been met.

If Crosslink elects not to convert the convertible secured notes within such five-day period, the notes and the accrued interest thereon, will no longer be convertible into shares of our common stock.

Change in Control. We must offer to purchase all outstanding convertible secured notes at their principal amount together with accrued and unpaid interest if we experience a change of control.

Common Stock Warrants

We will issue to Crosslink a warrant which represents the right to purchase 500,000 shares of our common stock. The warrants will initially have an exercise price of $0.01 per underlying share of our common stock and may be exercised by utilizing the net-exercise provision in the warrant. The exercise price and the number of shares issuable under the warrants will be adjusted to mitigate or prevent dilution if fundamental changes occur to our common stock, dividends are declared on our common stock or we issue, or contract to issue, shares of our common stock at a price per share below $4.84 per share. The warrants will expire five years from the date of issuance.

Change in Control Warrants

If we experience a change in control, the change of control warrants will become exerciseable at an exercise price of $0.01 per share for shares of our common stock with a total current market value of up to 20% of:

•

the principal amount of notes for which that warrant was originally issued, plus

•

the principal amount of all convertible secured notes issued in payment of interest on those original notes, minus

•

the principal amount of those notes which have been converted into shares of our common stock or repaid in cash, plus

•

accrued and unpaid interest on any then outstanding notes.

The change in control warrants will expire five years from the date of issuance.

For purposes of the convertible secured notes and the change in control warrants, a change of control is defined as:

•

the direct or indirect sale or transfer of all or substantially all of our assets;

•

any business combination which results in the holders of our capital stock prior to the business combination beneficially owning less than 50% of the voting securities of the resulting parent entity in such business combination; or

•

if more than 50% of our board of directors becomes controlled by directors who were neither (a) on our board of directors two years before the date of the change in control, nor (b) elected or nominated by such directors or their successors who were nominated as required by this sentence.

Cash Trigger Warrants

To provide a mechanism to allow purchasers of convertible secured notes, including Crosslink, to ensure our compliance with covenants under our senior credit facility, the holders of our cash trigger warrants will have the right, but not the obligation, to exercise their warrants on the terms described below. The cash trigger warrants will be exercisable for shares of our common or preferred stock valued at up to $30.0 million and will remain exercisable so long as our senior secured credit facility remains outstanding. The Series A cash trigger warrants are exercisable for equity securities with an aggregate purchase price of up to $10.0 million and those warrants will have a per share exercise price which is the lesser of (a) $9.79 or (b) 90% of the then current market value of shares of our common stock. The Series B cash trigger warrants are exercisable for up to $20 million and those warrants will have a per share exercise price of 90% of the then current market value of shares of our common stock. The $9.79 per share exercise price of Series A cash trigger warrants will be adjusted to mitigate or prevent dilution if fundamental changes occur to our common stock, dividends are declared on our common stock or we issue, or contract to issue, shares of our common stock at a price per share below $9.79. All of the Series A cash trigger warrants and Series B cash trigger warrants were issued to i-STT Investments in connection with the December Financing. In connection with the Crosslink Financing, i-STT Investments has agreed to amend the outstanding Series A cash trigger warrants and Series B cash trigger warrants such that i-STT Investments and Crosslink may exercise a portion of such warrants representing the proportion of the aggregate outstanding principal amounts of A-1 notes and A-2 notes held by each of i-STT Investments and Crosslink.

The cash trigger warrants will only be exercisable if we (a) do not have sufficient funds to pay, and fail to pay when due, any principal, interest, fee or other amount under our credit facility, or (b) breach our obligations to maintain certain minimum cash balances under our credit facility agreement. The holders of the cash trigger warrants have no obligation to exercise their warrants. If a default occurs under our credit facility, we cannot assure you that we will have adequate financial resources to prevent our lenders from foreclosing on our assets.

If the cash trigger warrants are exercised based on the condition described in (a) above, the cash trigger warrants will be exercisable for not less than $5.0 million and not more than $5.0 million plus the amount of the missed payment.

If the cash trigger warrants are exercised based on the condition described in (b) above, the cash trigger warrants will be exercisable for not less than $5.0 million and not more than $5.0 million plus any shortfall in our minimum cash balance requirements.

To the extent i-STT Investments or Crosslink does not exercise its cash trigger warrants in full, the other party will have the right to exercise its cash trigger warrants for their share of such warrants plus any unexercised portion of such warrants issued to other party.

Material Federal Income Tax Considerations of the Financing

Federal tax law contains various limitations and restrictions on the deductibility of interest and/or original issue discount. Some of these limitations and restrictions may be applicable to the interest and/or the original issue discount associated with the Series A-2 convertible secured notes. In such event, some or all of the interest or original issue discount associated with such notes may not be deductible by us.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL 3.

OTHER MATTERS RELATED TO THE FINANCING

Securities Law Matters

The notes and warrants to be issued in connection with the financing will be issued in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, by reason of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act or regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder.

No Dissenter’s Rights

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, Equinix’s stockholders are not entitled to dissenter’s rights with respect to the issuance of securities convertible into our common stock, and we will not independently provide stockholders with any such right.

(1)

Excludes 965,674 shares of preferred stock issuable upon the exercise of an outstanding warrant as of December 31, 2002.

(2)

Excludes (i) 302,792 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants as of December 31, 2002, (ii) 725,821 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options as of December 31, 2002, (iii) 4,752,838 shares available for grant under our various stock option plans as of December 31, 2002, (iv) 35,634 shares available for purchase under our employee stock purchase plan as of December 31, 2002 and (v) 2,785,205 shares reserved for conversion into our common stock in connection with the $30.0 million convertible secured note issued in the December Financing as of December 31, 2002. If we issue the $10.0 million convertible secured notes as outlined in Proposal 3 of this

proxy statement, the conversion price of the $30.0 million convertible secured note, and notes issued as interest thereon, would be adjusted from $10.77 to approximately $9.18 and the principal amount of the note would be convertible into approximately 483,529 additional shares of our stock as a result of anti-dilution provisions contained in the December Financing documents. Furthermore, in connection with the proposed debt financing pursuant to Proposal 3 of this proxy statement, we would issue an additional warrant for the issuance of an additional 500,000 shares of our common stock and reserve an additional 2,499,999 shares for conversion into our common stock in connection with our proposed $10.0 million convertible secured notes. In addition, if we experience a change of control or breach any covenants in connection with our credit facility, additional shares of our common stock may be issued through the exercise of the Change in Control Warrants and Cash Trigger Warrants issued in connection with our convertible secured notes.

RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

In calculating the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings consist of (i) net loss before income tax expense and fixed charges plus (ii) the losses recognized in an entity of which less than 50% is owned by us and is accounted for under the equity method when there is no guarantee, directly or indirectly, to service the debt of such entities. Fixed charges consist of interest expense, including capitalized interest, amortized premiums and discounts and capitalized expenses related to indebtedness and an estimated portion of rental expense that is attributed to interest. For the periods presented, Equinix had no outstanding shares of preferred stock with required dividend payments. The ratio of earnings to fixed charges was less than 1.0 to 1.0 for each of our last four fiscal years and for the period from June 22, 1998 (inception) to December 31, 1998. Earnings available for fixed charges were thus inadequate to cover fixed charges. The coverage deficiency for the periods ended December 31, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999 and 1998 was $21,618,000, $188,415,000, $119,790,000, $20,791,000 and $1,019,000, respectively.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Loans to Executive Officers. From July 1999 through January 2001, the Company hired a number of individuals from out-of-state and relocated them to California. The market in California during this period was very competitive for certain positions and the most qualified individuals available at that time were located in other states. In order to induce three executive officers to relocate to California from cities with lower housing costs, the Company offered each of these executive officers a non-interest bearing home loan to assist them with the purchase of a new residence in California. These loans expired upon the earlier of 5 years or certain liquidity events, none of which have happened to date. In early 2002, the Company negotiated with all three of these executive officers for the early repayment of these loans. In January 2002, in exchange for Peter Van Camp, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, agreeing to repay the loan four years earlier than its maturity, and in exchange for his waiving his right to any bonuses earned and expensed in 2001, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors forgave $874,000 of Mr. Van Camp’s loan of $1,512,000. The remaining amount due under the loan of $638,000 was repaid to the Company in full in February 2002. In addition, the Company negotiated with the other two executive officers of the Company, Peter Ferris and Marjorie Backaus, to repay their loans in full several years prior to the loans’ maturity dates. In exchange, the Company agreed to pay a portion of the interest on each of the officer’s mortgage for their principal residence through December 31, 2003. Mr. Ferris’ loan, totaling $750,000, was repaid in full in February 2002 and Ms. Backaus’ loan, totaling $250,000, was repaid in full in March 2002.

Equipment Reseller Agreements with Affiliated Companies. In March 2002, the Company entered into an agreement to resell equipment with Cisco Systems, Inc. (“Cisco”), a greater than 5% stockholder in the Company. Michelangelo Volpi, one of the Company’s directors, is an executive officer of Cisco. The Company plans to recognize revenue from this arrangement on a gross basis in accordance with Emerging Issue Task Force Issue No. 99-19, Recording Revenue as a Principal versus Net as an Agent. The Company acts as the principal in the transaction as the Company’s customer services agreement identifies the Company as the party responsible for the fulfillment of product/ services to the Company’s customers and has full pricing discretion. In the case of products sold under this arrangement, the Company takes title to the products and bears the inventory risk as the Company has made minimum purchase commitments for equipment to various vendors. The Company has credit risk, as it is responsible for collecting the sales price from a customer, but must pay the amount owed to its suppliers after the suppliers perform, regardless of whether the sales price is fully collected. In addition, the Company will often determine the required equipment configuration. The Company has purchased and resold equipment for $968,000 under the agreement with Cisco.

In February 2002, the Company entered into an agreement to resell equipment with Juniper Networks (IS), Inc., an entity affiliated with Juniper Networks, Inc. (“Juniper”). Scott Kriens, one of the Company’s directors, is both a director and an executive officer of Juniper. The Company plans to recognize revenue from this arrangement on a gross basis in accordance with Emerging Issue Task Force Issue No. 99-19, Recording Revenue as a Principal versus Net as an Agent. The Company acts as the principal in the transaction as the Company’s customer services agreement identifies the Company as the party responsible for the fulfillment of product/ services to the Company’s customers and has full pricing discretion. In the case of products sold under this agreement, the Company takes title to the products and bears the inventory risk as the Company has made minimum purchase commitments for equipment to various vendors. The Company has credit risk, as it is responsible for collecting the sales price from a customer, but must pay the amount owed to its suppliers after the suppliers perform, regardless of whether the sales price is fully collected. In addition, the Company will often determine the required equipment configuration. The Company has purchased and resold equipment for $1,805,000 under the agreement with Juniper.

Convertible Secured Note Sold to Affiliated Company. In December 2002, i-STT Investments Pte Ltd, an affiliate of STT Communications, made a $30.0 million investment in the Company through the purchase of a

14% convertible secured note with an initial term of five years. The interest on the convertible secured note is payable in kind in the form of additional convertible secured notes. The convertible secured note is secured by a first priority lien on certain of the Company’s assets located in Asia and a second priority lien on all of the Company’s other assets. In addition, the Company issued the following warrants to i-STT Investments in conjunction with the convertible secured note:

•

Preferred Stock Warrant. A warrant to purchase 965,674 shares of the Company’s Series A or Series A-1 preferred stock at a price of $.01 per share at any time at the option of STT Communications.

•

Change in Control Warrant. If the Company experiences a change in control, the change in control warrant will become exercisable for shares of the Company’s common stock with a total current market value of up to 20% of the then outstanding principal amount of notes, including notes issued as interest on convertible notes, plus accrued but unpaid interest. The change in control warrant terminates on December 31, 2007 and has an exercise price of $0.01 per share.

•

Cash Trigger Warrants. In order to provide a mechanism to allow STT Communications to ensure the company’s compliance with cash covenants under its senior secured credit facility, STT Communications has the right, but not the obligation, to exercise one or both of two cash trigger warrants. Pursuant to the Series A Cash Trigger Warrant, STT Communications or its affiliates may purchase additional shares of the company’s stock for an aggregate exercise price of up to $10,000,000. The per share exercise price for the Series A Cash Trigger Warrant is the lesser of (a) $9.792 or (b) 90% of the then current market value of shares of the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to the Series B Cash Trigger Warrant, STT Communications or its affiliates may purchase additional shares of the company’s stock for an aggregate exercise price of up to $20,000,000. The per share exercise price for the Series B Cash Trigger Warrant is 90% of the then current market value of the Company’s common stock. The cash trigger warrants will become exercisable if the Company fails to satisfy certain covenants of the senior secured credit facility.

The convertible secured note and warrants are more fully described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement dated December 12, 2002.

STT Communications, along with its affiliates, is a greater than 5% stockholder in the Company and Lee Theng Kiat and Jean Mandeville, two of the Company’s directors, are executive officers of STT Communications.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT

The members of the Board of Directors, the executive officers of the Company, persons who hold more than 10% of the Company’s outstanding common stock and Mr. John Taysom, a former director of the Company (“Section 16 Insiders”) are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, which require them to file reports with respect to their ownership of the Company’s common stock and their transactions in such common stock. Based upon (i) the copies of Section 16(a) reports that the Company received from such persons for their 2002 fiscal year transactions in the common stock and their common stock holdings and (ii) the written representations received from one or more of such persons that no annual Form 5 reports were required to be filed by them for the 2002 fiscal year, the Company believes that all reporting requirements under Section 16(a) for such fiscal year were met in a timely manner by Section 16 Insiders.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR 2004 ANNUAL MEETING

Stockholders who intend to have a proposal considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for presentation at the 2004 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (“2004 Annual Meeting”) pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act must submit the proposal to the Company no later than December 30, 2003. Pursuant to Rule 14a-4(c) of the Exchange Act and the Company’s bylaws, as amended, stockholders who intend to present a proposal at the 2004 Annual Meeting without inclusion of such proposal in the proxy materials are required to notify the Company of such proposal not earlier than March 1, 2004 and not later than March 31, 2004. If the Company does not receive notification of the proposal within that time frame, the proxy holders will be allowed to use their discretionary voting authority to vote on such proposal when the proposal is raised at the 2004 Annual Meeting.

All stockholder proposals and notice of stockholder proposals should be sent to the Company at its offices at 301 Velocity Way, Fifth Floor, Foster City, California 94404, Attn: General Counsel. The Company reserves the right to reject, rule out of order, or take other appropriate action with respect to any stockholder proposal that does not satisfy the conditions and rules established by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

OTHER MATTERS

The Board of Directors knows of no other matters to be presented for stockholder action at the Annual Meeting. However, if other matters do properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof, the Board of Directors intends that the persons named in the proxies will vote upon such matters in accordance with their best judgment.

The Company will mail without charge, upon written request, a copy of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. Requests should be sent to Equinix, Inc., at 301 Velocity Way, Fifth Floor, Foster City, California 94404, Attn: Investor Relations.

The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated condensed statement of operations is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the financial position that would have actually been reported had the Combination, Financing and further reductions in amounts outstanding under both the Senior Notes and the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, occurred as of December 31, 2001 for statement of operations purposes, nor is it necessarily indicative of the future financial position. The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated condensed statement of operations includes adjustments, which are based upon preliminary estimates, to reflect the allocation of the purchase price to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of i-STT and Pihana, including intangible assets acquired in connection with i-STT. Any change in the fair value of the net assets of i-STT and Pihana will likely change the amount of the purchase price allocable to goodwill for i-STT and property and equipment for Pihana.

This unaudited pro forma combined consolidated condensed statement of operations is based upon the respective historical unaudited consolidated statement of operations of Equinix and Pihana and the historical unaudited consolidated statement of operations of i-STT, adjusted to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, and should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements of Equinix, i-STT and Pihana and related notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained in the definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 12, 2002.

Although i-STT is not significant under SEC Regulation S-X Rule 3-05, we have included i-STT’s results of operations in the accompanying unaudited pro forma information because the Combination, Financing and Senior Note Exchange were consummated in conjunction with each other and we believe that the inclusion of i-STT is meaningful to the understanding of the Company’s pro forma results of operations.

This unaudited pro forma combined consolidated condensed statement of operations excludes the impact of the $10.0 million debt financing outlined in Proposal 3 of this proxy statement.

CONDENSED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated condensed statement of operations included herein has been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and certain footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations; however, management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

1. BASIS OF PRO FORMA PRESENTATION

On October 2, 2002, the Company entered into a combination agreement (the “Combination Agreement”) to purchase all of the issued and outstanding stock of i-STT, a wholly-owned Internet infrastructure services subsidiary of STT Communications, in exchange for $10,000 and approximately 3.0 million shares of common and preferred stock, representing approximately 27.5% of the modified fully diluted share amount at closing and Pihana, a leading provider of neutral Internet exchange data center services and managed e-infrastructure services in Asia-Pacific, in exchange for $10,000 and approximately 2.4 million shares of common stock, or approximately 22.5% of the modified fully diluted share amount. These acquisitions are herein referred to as the “Combination”. The Combination was completed on December 31, 2002. The combined company continues to operate under the Equinix name and management. Separately, STT Communications made a $30.0 million strategic investment in the Company in the form of convertible secured notes with detachable warrants for the further issuance of approximately 1.0 million shares of stock. This transaction is herein referred to as the “Financing”. The Financing was completed on December 31, 2002. Equinix accounted for the Combination under the purchase method of accounting. In addition to giving effect to the Combination and Financing, this pro forma statement of operations has been adjusted to present the impact of the Senior Note Exchange and further reduction in the Amended and Restated Credit Facility discussed below. The Senior Note Exchange and further reduction in the Amended and Restated Credit Facility were also completed on December 31, 2002.

The parties to the transaction considered the guidance provided in paragraph 17 of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 141, Business Combinations and determined that Equinix was the acquiring entity in the combination. This determination was based on a number of factors including the fact that the former Equinix stockholders will have the largest voting percentage of the outstanding stock. Following the issuance of common and redeemable preferred shares by Equinix in the Combination, the former Equinix stockholders have a 51.0% voting interest in the combined entity. In addition, Equinix is the larger entity and its current management team continues to run the day-to-day operations of the combined company, no party controls a majority of the board of directors and the combined company continues to operate under the Equinix name and is headquartered in Foster City, California.

In connection with the Combination, Equinix issued $30 million in the form of a convertible secured note, which is convertible into the Company’s capital stock on a one for one basis. This note issued to STT Communications shall initially be convertible into shares of preferred stock at any time at the holder’s option. There are two classes of preferred stock, Series A and Series A-1. Series A preferred stock is convertible at any time, at the option of the holder, into common stock of Equinix up to the point at which (a) STT Communications has a 40% voting interest in Equinix or (b) the value of voting interests held by STT Communications exceeds $50 million. Thereafter, conversion of the convertible secured note will result in the issuance of Series A-1, non-voting preferred shares. While STT Communications is able to convert their note at any time after the closing, there are a number of factors, in addition to the anticipated premium built into the conversion price, that suggest that this note will not be converted into equity. These include the fact that:

•

the holder of the convertible secured note will enjoy the priority position of debt over equity;

F-4

EQUINIX, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONSOLIDATED

CONDENSED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS—(Continued)

•

the holder of the convertible secured note will receive interest at the rate of 14% per annum, initially payable in PIK Notes (see Note 4—Financing) semi-annually in arrears, on the unpaid principal balance;

•

the convertible secured note held is secured by the Asia-Pacific operations of the combined company, thereby providing security; and

•

the combined company will have approximately $82.5 million of debt due during 2005.

As a result of these factors, management does not expect the holder of the convertible secured note to convert voluntarily prior to maturity. In the event debt securities are converted and STT Communications’ voting interest is maximized (at 40%), Equinix would hold a 42.7% voting interest, STT Communications 40% and Pihana 17.3%.

In connection with the Combination and Financing, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Facility. The most significant terms and conditions of this amendment are:

•

The Company was granted a full waiver of previous covenant breaches and was granted consent to use cash in connection with the Senior Note Exchange (see Note 5—Senior Note Exchange).

•

Future revenue and EBITDA covenants were eliminated and the remaining minimum cash balance and maximum capital expenditure covenants and other ratios were reset consistent with the expected future performance of the combined Company for the remaining term of the loan.

•

The Company permanently repaid $8.5 million of the then currently outstanding $100.0 million balance bringing the total amount owed under this facility to $91.5 million.

•

The amortization schedule for the Credit Facility was amended such that the minimum amortization due in 2003-2004 was significantly reduced.

Also in connection with the Combination, Financing and further amendment to the Credit Facility, the Company obtained agreements from the holders of a large percentage of its outstanding Senior Notes whereby such holders agreed to tender their Senior Notes to the Company for a combination of cash and common stock and to amend the terms of the Senior Notes. This transaction is herein referred to as the “Senior Note Exchange”.

Furthermore, in connection with the Combination, Financing and Senior Note Exchange transactions described above, in order to comply with the requirements of the Nasdaq National Market, the Company initiated a 32 for 1 reverse stock split, which also took effect on December 31, 2002. All share and per share amounts have been adjusted to give effect to the stock split.

The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated condensed statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002 was prepared by combining the historical unaudited consolidated condensed statement of operations data for the year ended December 31, 2002 for Equinix and Pihana and the historical consolidated statement of operations data of i-STT, as adjusted to comply with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, as if the Combination and related transactions had been consummated on December 31, 2001.

2. PURCHASE PRICE—PIHANA

On December 31, 2002, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company merged with and into Pihana (the “Pihana Acquisition”). Pihana is a similar business to that of Equinix with IBX hub operations in Singapore;

F-5

EQUINIX, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONSOLIDATED

CONDENSED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS—(Continued)

Tokyo, Japan; Sydney, Australia; Hong Kong, China, as well as Los Angeles and Honolulu in the U.S. The entire purchase price of $28,376,000 was comprised of (i) 2,416,379 shares of the Company’s common stock, with a total value of $25,517,000, (ii) total cash consideration and direct transaction costs of $2,701,000 and (iii) the value of Pihana shareholder warrants assumed in the Pihana Acquisition of $176,000 (the “Pihana Shareholder Warrants”). The fair market value of the Company’s stock issued was determined using the five-trading-day average price of the Company’s common stock surrounding the date the transaction was announced in October 2002. The fair value of the Pihana Shareholder Warrants, which represent the right to purchase 133,442 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $191.81 per share, was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the following assumptions: fair market value per share of $5.70, dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 135%, risk-free interest rate of 4% and a contractual life of approximately 3 years.

The preliminary purchase price, including direct merger costs, have been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. The estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities assumed is summarized as follows (in thousands):

Cash and cash equivalents	$	33,341
Accounts receivable		754
Other current assets		1,773
Property and equipment		5,691
Restricted cash		927
Other assets		2,329

Total assets acquired		44,815
Accounts payable and accrued expenses		(3,455	)
Accrued restructuring charges and transaction fees		(9,470	)
Other current liabilities		(42	)
Capital lease obligations		(1,536	)
Other liabilities		(1,936	)

Net assets acquired	$	28,376

The Company accounted for the Pihana Acquisition using the purchase method. Included in the net liabilities assumed are total restructuring charges of $9,470,000, which relate primarily to the exit of the undeveloped portion of the Pihana Los Angeles IBX hub leasehold, severance related to an approximate 30% reduction in workforce, including several officers of Pihana and some transaction-related professional fees. A substantial portion of these costs were paid in January 2003. Prior to December 31, 2002, Pihana sold their Korean IBX hub operations, which was excluded from the Pihana Acquisition, terminated or amended several operating leaseholds and recorded a substantial impairment charge against the value of their property and equipment assumed in the Pihana Acquisition. While the Company does not expect there will be any changes to the Company’s preliminary purchase price due to any unknown contingent liabilities or purchase price adjustments, any subsequent adjustment to the purchase price would likely result in a change to the amount of property and equipment assumed in the Pihana Acquisition.

There were no historical transactions between Equinix and Pihana. Certain reclassifications have been made to conform Pihana’s historical amounts to Equinix’s financial statement presentation.

The pro forma adjustments do not reflect any integration adjustments such as restructuring costs to be incurred in connection with the merger or operating efficiencies and cost savings that may be achieved with respect to the combined entity as these costs are not directly attributable to the purchase agreement.

3. PURCHASE PRICE—i-STT

On December 31, 2002, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company acquired all issued and outstanding shares of i-STT from STT Communications (the “i-STT Acquisition”). i-STT is a similar business to that of Equinix with IBX hub operations in Singapore and Thailand. The entire purchase price of $34,365,000 was comprised of (i) 1,868,666 shares of the Company’s Series A preferred stock and 1,084,686 shares of the Company’s common stock, with a total value of $31,187,000 and (ii) total cash consideration and direct transaction costs of $3,178,000.

The fair value of the Company’s stock issued was determined using the five-trading-day average price of the Company’s common stock surrounding the date the transaction was announced in October 2002. The Company determined that the fair value of the Series A preferred stock and the common stock was the same because the material rights, preferences and privileges of Series A preferred stock and the common stock are virtually identical.

The preliminary purchase price, including direct merger costs, have been allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. The Company retained the services of an independent valuation expert to assist with the determination of the fair value of the intangible assets. The estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities assumed is summarized as follows (in thousands):

Cash and cash equivalents	$	1,699
Accounts receivable		1,307
Other current assets		197
Property and equipment		10,824
Intangible asset—customer contracts		3,600
Intangible asset—tradename		300
Intangible asset—goodwill		21,081
Other assets		100

Total assets acquired		39,108
Accounts payable and accrued expenses		(4,153	)
Accrued restructuring charges		(400	)
Other current liabilities		(190	)

Net assets acquired	$	34,365

The Company accounted for the i-STT Acquisition using the purchase method. The customer contracts intangible asset will have a useful life of two years, the typical term of a customer contract, and the tradename intangible asset will have a useful life of one year, the contractual period under the Combination Agreement. Included in the net liabilities assumed, is an accrual of $400,000 representing the estimated costs to exit from an undeveloped IBX hub leasehold interest in Shanghai, China. The Company expects to exit this lease in 2003. While the Company does not expect there will be any changes to the Company’s preliminary purchase price due to any unknown contingent liabilities or purchase price adjustments, any subsequent adjustment to the purchase price would likely result in a change to the amount of goodwill carried on the balance sheet.

There were no historical transactions between Equinix and i-STT. Certain reclassifications have been made to conform i-STT’s historical amounts to Equinix’s financial statement presentation.

4. FINANCING

In conjunction with the Combination, STT Communications made a $30.0 million strategic investment in the Company in the form of a convertible secured notes (the “Convertible Secured Note”) with a detachable warrant for the further issuance of 965,674 shares of preferred stock (the “Convertible Secured Note Warrant”), valued at $4,646,000 (the “Financing”). The Convertible Secured Note bears non-cash interest at an interest rate of 14% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears, and has an initial term of five years. Interest on the Convertible Secured Note will be payable in kind in the form of additional convertible secured notes having a principal amount equal to the amount of interest then due having terms which are identical to the terms of the Convertible Secured Note (the “PIK Notes”). The Convertible Secured Note and Convertible Secured Note Warrant cannot be converted into shares of voting stock for a two-year period, except under certain limited circumstances as defined in the agreements. Notwithstanding this, STT Communication’s voting ownership is limited to 40% of the outstanding shares of the combined company.

The Convertible Secured Note Warrant was valued at $4,646,000. The fair value of the Convertible Secured Note Warrant was calculated under the provisions of APB 14 and determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model under the following assumptions: contractual life of five years, risk-free interest rate of 4%, expected volatility of 135% and no expected dividend yield. The Company has considered the guidance in EITF Abstract No. 98-5, “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios”, and has determined that the Convertible Secured Note does not contain a beneficial conversion feature as the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance, was less than the stock conversion ratio outlined in the agreement. The allocated value to the Convertible Secured Note Warrant of $4,646,000 will be amortized using the effective interest rate method to interest expense over the five-year term of the Convertible Secured Note.

As the PIK Notes have terms that are identical to the terms of the Convertible Secured Note, the PIK Notes may have a beneficial conversion feature. Any beneficial conversion feature associated with the PIK Notes, which will be issued semi-annually, would result in an incremental charge to the Company’s interest expense over the term of the Convertible Secured Note and PIK Notes.

The costs related to the Financing of approximately $575,000 were capitalized and are being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method, over the life of the Convertible Secured Note.

5. SENIOR NOTE EXCHANGE

In December 2002, the Company, in connection with, and as a condition to closing the Combination and Financing, initiated an exchange offer to substantially reduce the amount of Senior Notes then outstanding in order to improve the Company’s existing capital structure and reduce the amount of outstanding debt of the Company, which we refer to herein as the “Senior Note Exchange”. The Senior Note Exchange was contingent on both the Combination and Financing closing, all of which were subject to stockholder vote. The Combination, Financing and Senior Note Exchange closed on December 31, 2002, and the Company retired an additional $116,774,000 of Senior Notes plus forgiveness of $8,855,000 of accrued and unpaid interest thereon in exchange for 1,857,436 shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $12,482,000 based on the actual exchange date

EQUINIX, INC.

CONDENSED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS—(Continued)

of the Senior Notes and $15,181,000 of cash. The Company wrote-off a proportionate amount of unamortized Company incurred debt extinguishment costs totaling approximately $2,500,000 in connection with the retirement of these Senior Notes and recognized a gain on these transactions of $86,970,000. In conjunction with the Combination, Financing and Senior Note Exchange, the Company amended the Indenture governing the Senior Notes in order to allow the Combination and Financing to occur.

During the first half of 2002, the Company retired $52.8 million of Senior Notes in exchange for approximately 500,000 shares of common stock and approximately $2.5 million of cash, and as a result, recognized a $27.2 million gain on debt extinguishment.

6. FURTHER AMENDMENT OF CREDIT FACILITY

In connection with the Combination, Financing and Senior Note Exchange, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to the Amended and Restated Senior Credit Facility. As part of the Second Amendment to the Amended and Restated Senior Credit Facility, the Company permanently repaid $8.5 million of the amount currently outstanding ($100.0 million). In addition, amendment fees, which were paid to the lenders of $1.3 million, have been reflected as additional debt issuance costs, which will be amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of this facility.

7. PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

PIHANA PACIFIC, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. The Company

Pihana Pacific, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on June 11, 1999. The Company provides co-location Internet exchange facilities in Asia, the Pacific, and the United States. The Company and its subsidiaries have operations in the United States, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Australia and Taiwan.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Stock split

The Company affected a four-for-one stock split by way of a dividend of three shares of common stock for every one share of common stock outstanding on December 1, 1999 and a two-for-one stock split by way of a dividend of one share of common stock for every one share outstanding on February 18, 2000. All share and per share amounts in these consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to give effect to these stock splits.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. Since its inception, the Company has been successful in completing several rounds of financing. During the same period, the Company has incurred substantial losses and negative cash flows from operations in every fiscal period since inception. For the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company incurred a loss from operations of $50,888,000 and negative cash flows from operations of $34,560,000. As of December 31, 2001, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $61,522,000. The Company expects that its current cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments should be sufficient to meet the working capital and corporate overhead requirements associated with data centers for the foreseeable future. Failure to generate sufficient revenues, raise additional capital, or reduce certain discretionary spending, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to achieve its intended business objectives.

Management’s plans to improve the Company’s liquidity include arranging for alternative sources of funding through additional equity capital, implementing cost saving initiatives in order to preserve cash or a merger or sale of the Company. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Unaudited interim financial information

The financial information at September 30, 2002 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and September 30, 2001 is unaudited but includes all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of financial position of such data and the operating results and cash flows for such periods. Results of the nine months ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year.

Certain significant risks and uncertainties

The Company operates in a dynamic industry and, accordingly, can be affected by a variety of factors. Management of the Company believes that changes in any of the following areas could have significant effects

F-16

PIHANA PACIFIC, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

on the Company in terms of its future financial position, results of operations, and cash flows: ability to obtain additional financing; regulatory changes; fundamental changes in the technology underlying the Company’s products or services; market acceptance of the Company’s products or services under development; litigation or other claims against the Company; the hiring, training, and retention of key employees; successful and timely completion of product development efforts; new product introductions by competitors; and achievement of sustained profitable operations.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Financial instruments and concentration of credit risks

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risks consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in high quality financial institutions. The Company performs its services primarily for customers in Asia and the United States. To reduce credit risk, the Company periodically evaluates its customers’ financial condition and creditworthiness.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a remaining maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist of money market mutual funds and certificates of deposit with financial institutions with maturities of between 7 and 60 days. Short-term investments generally consist of certificates of deposits with maturities of between 90 and 180 days and highly liquid debt and equity securities of corporations, municipalities and the U.S. government. Short-term investments are classified as “available-for-sale” and are carried at fair value based on quoted market prices with unrealized gains and losses reported in stockholders’ equity as a component of comprehensive income. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.

The Company classifies its investment in a fixed income fund as available-for-sale in accordance with the provision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 115, “Accounting for Debt and Equity Securities.” These securities are carried at fair market value (cost at September 30, 2002, December 31, 2001 and 2000 was $32,978,000 (unaudited), $31,960,000 and $30,311,000, respectively), with unrealized gains and losses reported in stockholders’ equity as a component of other comprehensive loss.

Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying value amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to either the short-term maturity or the prevailing interest rates of the related instruments.

F-17

PIHANA PACIFIC, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated on the straight line basis over their estimated useful lives of two to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the useful lives of the improvements.

Construction in progress

Construction in progress includes direct and indirect expenditures for the construction of internet exchange (“IX”) hubs and is stated at original cost. The Company has contracted out substantially all of the construction of the IX hubs to independent contractors under construction contracts. Construction in progress includes certain costs incurred under a construction contract including project management services, site identification and evaluation services, engineering and schematic design services, design development and construction services and other construction-related fees and services. Once a hub becomes operational, these capitalized costs are depreciated at the appropriate rate consistent with the estimated useful life of the underlying asset.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company periodically reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparison of the asset’s carrying amount to the estimated future undiscounted net cash flows the assets are expected to generate. A deficiency in the cash flows relative to the carrying amount is an indication of the need for write-down due to impairment. The impairment write-down would be the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value of the asset. There have been no such impairments of long-lived assets at December 31, 2001 and 2000.

The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 144 with effect from January 1, 2002 and recorded an impairment write-down during the three months ended June 30, 2002 (see Note 3).

Income taxes

Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of temporary differences between assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting purposes and such amounts recognized for income tax reporting purposes. Valuation allowances are provided when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Deferred rent

The Company records its rental expense on long-term leases using the straight-line method. Differences between cash payments and rental expense are recorded as deferred rent.

Revenue

Revenue consists of monthly recurring fees for co-location and internet exchange services at the data centers, service fees associated with the delivery of professional services, and nonrecurring installation fees. Revenues from co-location and internet exchange services are billed monthly and recognized ratably over the term of the contract, generally one to five years. Professional service fees are recognized in the period in which the services were provided and represent the culmination of the earnings process. Nonrecurring installation fees are deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the related contract.

F-18

PIHANA PACIFIC, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

In December 2001, the Company entered into an agreement with Qwest Hong Kong Technology Ltd (“Qwest HK”) whereby Qwest HK agreed to purchase from the Company various colocation and related services (“Pihana Services”) at some or all of the data centers operated by the Company and the Company agreed to purchase from Qwest HK various Internet access services within Asia and the United States (“Qwest Services”) at each of its data centers. The consideration payable for both the Pihana Services and Qwest Services was, in aggregate, $5,736,000 during a five-year period.

In light of the nature of this arrangement, the Company has accounted for the value of the purchase commitments and revenues resulting from this agreement as an exchange arrangement. As a result, and having considered the guidance in Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions,” the Company has determined that the revenue and purchase commitments arising from this arrangement should be offset and, as a result, there is no overall impact on the results of operations and balance sheet that arises from this arrangement.

Stock-based compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based awards to employees using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Under the intrinsic value method no compensation expense is recorded when the exercise price of employee stock options equals or exceeds the fair value of the common stock on the date of grant. The Company provides pro forma disclosure of operating results, as if the minimum value method had been applied.

The Company accounts for stock-based awards to nonemployees using the fair value method in accordance with SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) consensus on Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services.”

Comprehensive income

The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income.” SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components; however, the adoption of this statement had no impact on the Company’s net loss or stockholders’ equity. SFAS No. 130 requires unrealized gains or losses on the Company’s available-for-sale securities and changes in cumulative translation adjustments to be included in other comprehensive income (loss). Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net loss and other comprehensive income (losses).

Cumulative translation adjustment

For foreign operations with the local currency as the functional currency, assets and liabilities are translated at period-end exchange rates, and the statement of operations is translated at the average exchange rates during the period. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency translation are included as a component of other comprehensive income (loss).

Derivatives and hedging activities

The Company adopted SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended, at the beginning of its fiscal year 2001. The standard requires the Company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through the

F-19

PIHANA PACIFIC, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

statement of operations. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities or firm commitments through earnings, or recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 did not have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company. As of December 31, 2001, the Company had not entered into any derivative or hedging activities.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In November 2001, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 01-09, “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer or a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products,” which is a codification of EITF Nos. 00-14, 00-22 and 00-25. This issue presumes that consideration from a vendor to a customer or reseller of the vendor’s products is a reduction of the selling prices of the vendor’s products and, therefore, should be characterized as a reduction of revenue when recognized in the vendor’s income statement and could lead to negative revenue under certain circumstances. Revenue reduction is required unless consideration relates to a separate identifiable benefit and the benefit’s fair value can be established. This issue should be applied no later than in annual or interim financial statements for periods beginning after December 15, 2001. Upon adoption the Company is required to reclassify all prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. The adoption of EITF No. 01-09 did not have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” SFAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. SFAS 146 eliminates the definition and requirement for recognition of exit costs in Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3 where a liability for an exit cost was recognized at the date of an entity’s commitment to an exit plan. SFAS 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS 146 will have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the 2000 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2001 presentation.

As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, cash equivalents included investments in other securities with various contractual maturity dates that do not exceed 90 days. Gross realized gains and losses from the sale of securities classified as available-for-sale were not material for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 (unaudited) or the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000. For the purpose of determining gross realized gains and losses, the cost of securities is based upon specific identification.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

During the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company disposed of assets with a book value of $452,000 and $3,000, respectively, for cash proceeds of $232,000 and $nil, respectively. As a result of these disposals the Company recorded a loss on disposal of $220,000 and $3,000 during the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

In August 2001 the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” ( SFAS 144 ), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. SFAS 144 requires that long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing operations or in discontinued operations.

The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 144 with effect from January 1, 2002. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 144, the Company has considered whether indicators exist which would indicate that an impairment assessment should be undertaken. This review was undertaken during the three months ended June 30, 2002 and the Company concluded that as a result of a number of factors it would appear to be appropriate to consider whether the Company’s long-lived assets, consisting primarily of the Company’s IX centers, are impaired. Among the factors the Company considered were:

•

the continuing challenges seen in the managed service sector and the impact this has had on a number of targeted customers, such as Global Crossing, MFN, Worldcom and Level 3;

•

the impact of the current economic outlook on management’s forecasted results for these assets and the ability to achieve their original forecasted results;

•

the appointment of an investment banker in April 2002 to assist with the exploration of possible sale transactions for the Company;

•

the status of discussions in progress at that time with certain suitors with regard to the potential sale of the assets to a third party; and

•

the expected resale value of the Company’s fixed assets being significantly below their book value given current market conditions.

Following this impairment assessment, the Company has determined that the carrying value of the assets exceeds their estimated fair values and recorded an impairment charge of approximately $77.0 million to write-down the value of long-lived assets during the three months ended June 30, 2002. Management determined the fair value of assets based on the best available evidence and applied the traditional present value technique as permitted under SFAS 144 using a discount rate of 25%. This discount rate was based upon the risk-free rate of interest plus an adjustment for a market risk premium based upon historical risk premiums required by investors for companies of the Company’s size, industry and capital structure and included risk factors specific to the Company. In addition, in determining the market risk premium, management considered venture capital rates of return required for investment companies during their early stages of development and the risk associated with the corresponding operating challenges.

In October 2002, the Company entered into a combination agreement to merge with a wholly owned subsidiary of Equinix, Inc. (see Note 10). Consistent with the guidance in SFAS 144, however, the Company has treated the carrying value of these long-lived assets as being held and used.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Significant terms of the Series A, Series B-1, and Series B-2 preferred stock are as follows:

Dividends

Dividends on each share of Series A preferred stock accrue at 8% per annum. The dividends are cumulative and payable only if declared by the board of directors of the Company. No dividends accrue on Series B-1 or B-2 preferred stock.

Liquidation preferences

If the Company is liquidated, dissolved or wound up, the holders of the Series B-1 and B-2 preferred stock are entitled to receive prior and in preference to any distribution of any assets to the holders of common stock and Series A preferred stock. The liquidation preference of the Series B-1 and B-2 preferred stock is $4.19 per share. If funds are sufficient to make a complete distribution to the Series B-1 and B-2 preferred stockholders, the holders of the Series A preferred stock are entitled to receive, prior to and in preference to any distribution to holders of common stock, an amount equal to the price at which the Series A preferred stock was purchased from the Company plus all accrued but unpaid dividends whether or not earned or declared. The liquidation preference of the Series A preferred stock is $2.40. After such liquidation preference is satisfied, the remaining net assets are distributed ratably to the common stockholders. A merger resulting in a change in control or a sale of the Company is treated as a liquidation.

Voting rights

Each share of Series B-1 preferred stock is entitled to the number of votes of common stock into which such shares of Series B-1 preferred stock could be converted. The Series A and Series B-2 preferred stockholders have no voting rights, except in matters of a liquidation or change in ownership.

Conversion

Each share of Series B-1 preferred stock is convertible at the option of the holder into the number of shares of Class B common stock as determined by dividing the Series B issue price by the conversion price in effect at the time of the conversion, initially $2.79.

Each share of Series B-2 preferred stock is convertible at the option of the holder into one share of Series B-1 preferred stock or the number of shares of Class B common stock as determined by dividing the Series B issue price by the conversion price in effect at the time of the conversion.

Each share of Series B-1 and B-2 preferred stock is automatically converted into shares of Class B common stock at the conversion price, initially $2.79, upon the closing of an initial public offering with net proceeds equal or exceeding $80,000,000 at a price per share equal to at least $4.883 or at the election of two-thirds of the holders of Series B-1 and B-2 preferred stocks.

Series A preferred stock is non-convertible.

Redemption

The Company may at any time redeem all or any portion of the shares of Series A stock then outstanding at a price per share equal to the liquidation preference. At the request of the majority holders of the Series A

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

preferred stock, the Company shall redeem the Series A preferred stock at an amount equal to $2.40 (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends) upon the closing of an initial public offering with net proceeds equal or exceeding $25,000,000, at a price per share reflecting “pre-money valuation” of the Company of not less than $60,000,000. Outside of the preferences granted upon liquidation, the holders of Series B-1 and B-2 preferred stock have no redemption rights.

Series B-1 warrants

In connection with the issuance of Series B-1 preferred stock, in October 2000, the Company contingently issued warrants to purchase 15,000,000 shares of Series B-1 Stock at an exercise price of $0.01. The purchase rights represented by these warrants were exercisable at any time after March 31, 2001 provided that at such date the Company had not issued or sold at least an aggregate of 80,645,161 shares of the Company’s Series B preferred stock with aggregate cash proceeds of at least $225,000,000. The terms of these warrants were amended in March, 2001 such that the warrants were exercisable at any time after March 31, 2001 provided that at such date the Company had not issued or sold at least an aggregate of 79,107,526 shares of the Company’s Series B preferred stock with aggregate cash proceeds of at least $223,000,000.

As of March 31, 2001, the Company had issued 80,145,161 shares of Series B stock for total gross proceeds of $223,604,999. As a result, the conditions for the exercise of these warrants had not been met and as a result, the warrant agreement was effectively terminated.

The Company issued warrants to purchase 4,587,384 shares of Series B-1 stock at an exercise price of $5.58 per share. All of these warrants were issued to Series B-1 stockholders and expire upon the earlier of October 2005 or the closing of an initial public offering resulting in proceeds of at least $80,000,000 and with an offering price of at least $4.88 per share. The estimated value of these warrants was approximately $6,741,000 and was recorded as a reduction to the carrying value of the preferred stock. The warrant valuation was estimated in accordance with the provisions of APB Opinion No. 14, “Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants”, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model under the following assumptions: risk free interest rate of 5%, expected term of five years, expected dividend yield of 0% and volatility of 80%.

5. Common Stock

The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 50,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, $0.001 par value, 133,524,985 shares of Class B Common Stock, $0.001 par value, and 128,530,036 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value, of which 5,000,000 have been designated Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred”), 105,608,889 have been designated Series B-1 Preferred, and 17,921,147 of which have been designated Series B-2 Preferred.

In July 2000, in connection with the resignation of one of the Company’s founders, the Company exercised its repurchase option and purchased 2,156,400 unvested shares of common stock at a price of $0.00045 per share. The remaining 2,203,600 vested shares owned by the founder were sold directly to other officers and common stockholders at a price of $0.5163 per share. In June 2001, the Company’s other founder resigned. As a result, the founder’s 843,750 unvested shares were repurchased by the Company.

The weighted-average grant date minimum value per share of options granted to employees under the Plan during the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 and the period ended December 31, 1999 was $0.136, $0.200 and $0.0015, respectively. The number of exercisable options at December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 was 3,916,674, 365,925 and nil, respectively. The weighted average exercise price of the exercisable options at December 31, 2001 and 2000 was $0.624 and $0.550. No options were exercisable at December 31, 1999.

Stock-based compensation

The Company accounts for its stock-based awards to employees using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25. Accordingly, the Company records deferred stock compensation equal to the difference between the grant price and deemed fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. In 2000, the Company recorded deferred stock compensation expense of $142,000. In 2001, these options were amended to increase the exercise price to fair value. As a result, $127,000 of the unamortized deferred compensation was reversed. In addition, the Company recorded $108,000 and $35,000 of additional stock based compensation in 2001 in relation to a favorable repurchase feature provided as part of one employee stock option grant and the acceleration of option vesting for one employee upon termination of employment.

Had compensation cost been determined based on the minimum value of the options at the grant date, the impact on the Company’s net loss would have been as follows (in thousands):

	Year Ended December 31,
	2001			2000			1999
Net loss:
As reported	$	(43,851	)	$	(15,953	)	$	(989	)
Pro forma	$	(44,413	)	$	(16,026	)	$	(989	)

For the purpose of pro forma disclosure, the minimum value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the following assumptions for grants in 2001, 2000 and 1999: no dividend yield; risk free interest rates of approximately 4.5%, 6.4% and 5.7%, respectively; no volatility; and expected life of 5.5 years.

Non-employee options

In June 2000, the Company issued 200,000 shares of common stock to a consultant for consulting services. The Company recorded $125,000 of stock compensation expense for the issuance of these shares. These shares were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 80%; risk-free rate of 6% and a contractual life of 10 years.

In October 2000, the Company issued 1.1 million shares of common stock to a director for past consulting services. The Company recorded $688,000 of stock compensation expense for the issuance of these shares. The Company also issued 100,000 shares to a university for consulting services. The Company recorded $90,000 of stock compensation expense for the issuance of these shares. Both stock issuances nullified the stock options previously issued to the directors and university.

The fair value of these non-employee options were made using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: Dividend yield of 0%; Expected volatility of 80%, Risk-free rate of 6% and a contractual life of 10 years. No option grants were made to non-employees in the year ended December 31, 2001 or the period ended December 31, 1999.

The current income tax benefit relates to a research and development tax credit the Company was eligible to receive from the State of Hawaii. This 20% credit is refundable and is based on all qualifying research and development expenditures incurred in Hawaii. This tax credit is similar to the federal research and development tax credit but the calculation does not require incremental R&D expenditures annually.

The components of net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2001 and 2000 are as follows (in thousands):

Net deferred tax assets	$	—		$	—

The 2001 and 2000 provisions differ from the amount computed using the statutory rate primarily due to foreign operations and translation adjustments.

The net increase in the valuation allowance in 2001 was primarily the result of increased net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards generated during the year, against which the Company provided a full valuation based on the Company’s evaluation of the likelihood of realization of future tax benefits resulting from deferred tax assets.

As of December 31, 2001, the Company had available for carryforward net operating losses for federal and state income tax purposes of approximately $25,277,000, which will expire in 2021, and is subject to limitations. During 2001 and 2000, the Company accrued approximately $1.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in research and development credits from the State of Hawaii.

In June 2001, the Company entered into an agreement to surrender its operating leasehold in Osaka, Japan (the “Agreement to Surrender”). As stipulated in the Agreement to Surrender, the Company paid rent through June 2001 and paid a cash termination on fee of approximately $463,000. In exchange, the Company received in full its deposit on this lease. This has been included in the restructuring charge for the year ended December 31, 2001.

In August 2002, the Company entered into additional lease termination agreements for two other operating leaseholds (see Note 10).

Bandwidth purchase commitment

In December 2001, the Company entered into an agreement with Qwest HK whereby Qwest HK agreed to purchase from the Company the Pihana Services at some or all of the data centers operated by the Company and the Company agreed to purchase from Qwest HK the Qwest Services at each of its data centers. The consideration payable for both the Pihana Services and Qwest Services was, in aggregate, $5,736,000 during a five-year period.

In light of the nature of this arrangement, the Company has accounted for the value of the purchase commitments and revenues resulting from this agreement as an exchange arrangement. As a result, and having considered the guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, (APB 29), the Company has determined that the revenue and purchase commitments arising from this arrangement should be offset and, as a result, there is no overall impact on the results of operations and balance sheet that arises from this arrangement.

Software license agreement

On March 30, 2001, the Company entered into a three-year technology license agreement with Storage Networks, Inc. whereby Storage Networks granted a non-exclusive, non-assignable right and license to install and execute the Storage Network technology for the Company’s internal use and external use as part of the Company’s I center solutions. In exchange for this license agreement, the Company has agreed to pay the following:

•

Corporate launch fee of $1 million, payable in six monthly installments commencing March 2001; and

•

Additional minimum service fees of $1 million, payable by March 30, 2002 and $3 million, payable by March 30, 2003.

In June, 2002, the Company terminated this agreement. In consideration for this termination, the Company agreed to pay a termination fee $1,250,000 in addition to approximately $1 million of payments made to date under the terms of the agreement. As a result of this termination, the Company wrote-off the remaining net book value of the license agreement of approximately $750,000.

Employee change of control commitments

Four of the Company’s employees are entitled to severance pay in the event of termination. Under the agreements in place, severance payments can range from $980,000 to $3.6 million, depending on certain factors which are conditional upon a change of control for the Company.

Two employees have Hong Kong expatriate agreements which require the Company pay various expenses, including: housing; cost of living differential; education costs for children; auto expense; annual home leave costs for three weeks per year; income taxes in Hong Kong on all Company related income; and other expenses. Upon consummation of change of control prior to July 1, 2003 or if terminated then, then at the Company’s option either: (i) employee shall be paid by the Company in the amount equal to any accrued and unpaid benefits for period ending July, 2003 or (ii) as a condition of such change of control any successor entity shall agree to be bound and assume the Company’s obligations hereunder. Expatriate expenses for the year ending December 31, 2001 were approximately $600,000.

8. Employee Benefit Plans

Effective September 1, 2000, the Company adopted a 401(k) plan. Employees meeting the eligibility requirements, as defined, may contribute up to 15% of their salaries. The Company has not made any contributions to the 401(k) plan.

In August 2002, the Company finalized its agreement to exit its excess office leasehold in Singapore. As part of this agreements, the Company agreed to pay a one-time cash settlement fee of $113,000 and give up its deposit on this property (approximately $100,000). As a result of vacating this property, the Company also wrote-off all property and equipment located in this excess office space, primarily leasehold improvements and some furniture and fixtures, totaling approximately $490,000.

In August, 2002, the Company entered into an arrangement to sublease part of its Honolulu office space.

Employee commitments

In March 2002, the Company granted two $600,000 promissory notes to two executive officers of the Company. These are non-interest bearing. In addition, the Company has committed to forgive these notes beginning March 2003. Forgiveness also occurs if the employees are terminated prior to a change of control of the Company.

Effective April 2002, certain employees (“Covered Employee”) are entitled to bonus payments in the event of a change of control. Under the terms of the proposed transaction, each Covered Employee would receive a bonus of the greater of 5% of total consideration or $1.0 million. In the case of one of the employees, any bonus to be paid will be reduced by the amount of retention loss forgiveness by the Company (up to $600,000). In addition, in the case of all these employees, any bonus to be paid will be reduced by the aggregate fair market value of all equity instruments or other benefits received pursuant to the Company’s 1999 stock option plan and any other incentive plan or compensatory award paid.

Merger

In October 2002, the Company entered into a combination agreement to merge with a wholly owned subsidiary of Equinix, Inc. in exchange for approximately 76.6 million shares of Equinix common stock. The merged company will continue to operate under the Equinix name and management. The combination agreement provides that 10% of the merger consideration to be issued will be held in escrow to secure the obligations of the Company’s stockholders to indemnify Equinix for certain losses.

The combination agreement contemplates that 22.5% of the fully diluted capitalization (as defined in the combination agreement) will be issued in the merger if the Company’s cash balance (as defined in the combination agreement) is $28.0 million or higher. The percentage interest will be reduced based on reductions in that cash balance.

The merger is subject to a number of conditions and no assurance can be given that the merger will be completed. The Company’s estimated transaction costs are approximately $2,625,000 in connection with the merger.
