Summary of the 8-K/A filed October 4, 2024. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.

This 8-K/A filing from Equinix Inc. (EQIX) announces the departure of Mr. Crenshaw, an officer of the company, effective September 26, 2024.

Additionally, certain performance-based and time-based Restricted Stock Unit (RSU) awards will vest on a pro-rated basis through September 20, 2024, contingent upon the company's performance goals for revenue, AFFO-per-share, and digital services revenue. Investors should note that while this filing outlines the financial and equity components of Mr. Crenshaw's separation, the exact value of the pro-rated RSU vesting is dependent on the company's performance against specific metrics.
