Summary
Equinix, Inc. (EQIX) filed an 8-K on October 5, 2007, reporting an amendment to its revolving credit facility. The amendment, dated October 1, 2007, modifies certain financial covenants in its existing $75,000,000 credit agreement with Silicon Valley Bank and General Electric Capital Corporation. These adjustments were necessitated by recent significant corporate actions, including the acquisition of IXEurope plc and the completion of both common stock and convertible subordinated note offerings. This amendment indicates Equinix's proactive management of its debt structure in response to its growth strategy and capital raising activities. Investors should note that while the amendment addresses covenant modifications, it is a procedural event that does not alter the fundamental terms of the credit facility itself, beyond those specified adjustments. The filing also confirms the attached exhibit, which provides the specific details of Amendment No. 2 to the loan agreement.
