ITEM 1.01 — ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

 

Notes Offering

 

On July 1, 2015, CyrusOne Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), announced that its operating partnership, CyrusOne LP, a Maryland limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), and CyrusOne Finance Corp., a Maryland corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership (together with the Operating Partnership, the “Issuers”), closed their previously announced private offering of $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of their 6.375% senior notes due 2022 (the “New Notes”). The Issuers used the net proceeds from the offering of the New Notes to finance, in part, the Operating Partnership’s previously announced Cervalis Acquisition (as defined below), to pay fees and expenses related to the Cervalis Acquisition and for general corporate purposes.

 

In connection with the issuance of the New Notes, the Issuers entered into the First Supplemental Indenture (as defined below) and the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below).

 

First Supplemental Indenture

 

On July 1, 2015, the New Notes were issued as additional notes under the Indenture dated November 20, 2012, among the Issuers, the guarantors party thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank N.A., as trustee, as supplemented by the first supplemental indenture dated July 1, 2015 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”). The New Notes have terms substantially identical to those of the 6.375% senior notes due 2022 issued by the Issuers in November 2012 and are guaranteed by the Company, CyrusOne GP, a Maryland statutory trust, and certain of the Operating Partnership’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries. Pursuant to the First Supplemental Indenture, the first interest payment of the New Notes will be made on November 15, 2015 and will include accrued interest from May 15, 2015.

 

The above description of the First Supplemental Indenture does not purport to be a complete statement of the parties’ rights and obligations under the First Supplemental Indenture and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 4.1 hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Registration Rights Agreement

 

On July 1, 2015, the Issuers entered into a registration rights agreement relating to the New Notes, among the Issuers, the guarantors party thereto and Barclays Capital Inc., RBC Capital Markets, LLC and TD Securities (USA) LLC, as representatives of the initial purchasers of the New Notes (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). The Registration Rights Agreement requires the Issuers, at their cost, to use their commercially reasonable efforts to, among other things, file and cause to become effective a registration statement within 180 days after the issue date of the New Notes, to be used in connection with the exchange of the New Notes for freely tradable notes with substantially identical terms in all material respects to the New Notes (the “Exchange Offer”), and to consummate the Exchange Offer on or prior to the 30th day after such registration statement is declared effective. Under certain circumstances, the Issuers may be required to file a shelf registration statement to cover resales of the New Notes. If the Issuers fail to satisfy these obligations, they would be required to pay additional interest to the holders of the New Notes as specified in the Registration Rights Agreement.

 

The above description of the Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be a complete statement of the parties’ rights and obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
