Summary
Equinix Inc. (EQIX) has issued a conditional notice to redeem its entire outstanding $500 million aggregate principal amount of 4.875% Senior Notes due 2020. This redemption, scheduled for September 28, 2017, is contingent upon the successful completion of a new senior notes offering of at least $500 million.
