This filing contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including statements regarding our financial outlook. Actual results may differ materially from expectations discussed in such forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements included in this filing are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, the challenges of operating IBX centers and developing, deploying and delivering Equinix services; the ability to generate sufficient cash flow or otherwise obtain funds to operate our business and repay outstanding indebtedness; the loss or decline in business from our key customers and other risks described from time to time in Equinix’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In particular, see Equinix’s recent quarterly and annual reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, copies of which are available upon request from Equinix.
