Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 9, 2014, CyrusOne Inc.’s operating partnership CyrusOne LP (the “Company”) entered into a new senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company, as borrower, the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”), KeyBank National Association, as administrative agent for the Lenders, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as syndication agent, and KeyBanc Capital Markets, Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, TD Securities (USA) LLC, Barclays Bank





PLC and RBC Capital Markets, as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners. The Credit Agreement provides for a $450 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility and a $150 million senior unsecured term loan facility. The revolving credit facility will initially bear interest at a rate of LIBOR + 1.70%. The revolving credit facility is scheduled to mature in October 2018 and includes a one-year extension option, which if exercised by the Company would extend the termination date to October 2019. The term loan facility will initially bear interest at a rate of LIBOR + 1.65% and is scheduled to mature in October 2019. Term loans may be drawn in up to three draws (including the drawing on the closing date) within six months of the closing date. Amounts not drawn during the six-month window are forfeited. The Company has elected to draw $75 million of the term loan at closing. The facilities contain an accordion feature that allows the Company to increase the aggregate commitment by up to $300 million.

Borrowings and letters of credit under the Credit Agreement will be used (a) to pay closing costs in connection with the Credit Agreement; (b) to repay indebtedness, fund future development projects and property and equipment acquisitions of the Company and its subsidiaries and (c) for general corporate purposes.

The Credit Agreement will be guaranteed by CyrusOne Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants (which are in some cases subject to certain exceptions), including, but not limited to, restrictions on the ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, make certain investments, make certain dividends and related distributions, prepay certain debt, engage in affiliate transactions, enter into, or undertake, certain liquidations, mergers, consolidations or acquisitions, and dispose of assets or subsidiaries.

Notwithstanding the limitations set forth above, CyrusOne Inc. will be permitted in specified periods, subject to the terms and conditions specified in the Credit Agreement (including certain limitations during the continuance of an event of default), to distribute to its stockholders cash dividends in an amount not to exceed 95% of its adjusted funds from operations.

The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default (which are in some cases subject to certain exceptions, thresholds, notice requirements and grace periods), including, but not limited to, nonpayment of principal or interest, failure to perform or observe covenants, breaches of representations and warranties, cross-defaults with certain other indebtedness, certain bankruptcy-related events or proceedings, final monetary judgments or orders, ERISA defaults and certain change of control events.

The above description is only a summary of certain provisions of the Credit Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the Credit Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
