EQUINIX INC

Equinix (Nasdaq: EQIX) is the world's digital infrastructure company, shortening the path to boundless connectivity anywhere in the world to enable the innovations that enrich our work, life and planet. Equinix combines a global footprint of International Business Exchange TM (IBX ) and xScale TM data centers in the Americas, Asia-Pacific, and Europe, the Middle East and Africa ("EMEA") regions, infrastructure and interconnection offerings, and digital ecosystems required to serve a large and diverse set of customers around the world.

Equinix was incorporated on June 22, 1998 as a Delaware corporation and operates as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. Since our inception, Equinix has been a network-neutral, multi-tenant data center ("MTDC") provider, where competing networks could connect and share data traffic to help scale the rapid growth of the early internet. The company’s name, Equinix (composed from the words "equality," "neutrality" and "internet exchange"), reflects that vision. The founders believed they not only had the opportunity, but also the responsibility, to create a company that would be the steward of some of the most important digital infrastructure assets in the world. Twenty-seven years later, we have expanded upon that vision by connecting economies, countries, enterprises and communities with seamless digital experiences, including cutting-edge artificial intelligence ("AI").

Our data centers around the world allow our customers to bring together and interconnect the infrastructure they need to seamlessly operate their business. With Equinix, they can scale with speed and agility, accelerate the launch of new digital offerings while safeguarding data, and implement AI applications at scale to achieve business success. We enable customers to simplify their digital infrastructure, ensure interoperability across platforms, and maximize speed, efficiency and security to deliver superior customer, partner and employee experiences. As more customers choose Equinix for high connectivity and performance reliability at the metro edge, it benefits their suppliers and business partners to colocate in the same data centers and connect directly with each other. This adjacency creates a network effect that attracts new customers while continuously enhancing our value proposition to existing customers and enabling them to capture further economic and performance benefits from our offerings.

The digital economy continues to accelerate as AI, data-intensive workloads, and ecosystem-based business models reshape how industries operate. Organizations continue to shift from siloed digital adoption toward interconnected systems where data, digital services, and workflows flow smoothly across partners and platforms. Equinix is uniquely positioned to capture the increasing demand for these infrastructure solutions. Trends reinforcing our leading market position include:
