TO: ALL PERSONS WHO PURCHASED OR OTHERWISE ACQUIRED EQUINIX INC. (“EQUINIX”) COMMON STOCK BETWEEN MAY 3, 2019, AND MARCH 24, 2024, INCLUSIVE (“CLASS” OR “CLASS MEMBERS”)
THIS NOTICE WAS AUTHORIZED BY THE COURT. IT IS NOT A LAWYER SOLICITATION. PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY AND IN ITS ENTIRETY.
YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED that hearing will be held on December 18, 2025, at 2:00 p.m., before the Honorable Vince Chhabria, via Zoom. Class Members and members of the public may attend the Settlement Hearing remotely by accessing the following link: https://www.cand.uscourts.gov/vc. At the hearing, the Court will consider whether: (1) the proposed settlement (the “Settlement”) of the above-captioned action as set forth in the Stipulation of Settlement (“Stipulation”) for $41,500,000 in cash should be approved by the Court as fair, reasonable, and adequate; (2) the Judgment as provided under the Stipulation should be entered dismissing the Action with prejudice; (3) to award Lead Counsel attorneys’ fees and expenses out of the Settlement Fund (as defined in the Notice of Pendency and Proposed Settlement of Class Action (“Notice”), which is discussed below), and, if so, in what amounts; and (4) the Plan of Allocation should be approved by the Court as fair, reasonable, and adequate.1
IF YOU ARE A MEMBER OF THE CLASS, YOUR RIGHTS WILL BE AFFECTED BY THE SETTLEMENT OF THIS ACTION, AND YOU MAY BE ENTITLED TO SHARE IN THE NET SETTLEMENT FUND.
To share in the distribution of the Net Settlement Fund, you must establish your rights by submitting a Proof of Claim and Release form (“Proof of Claim”) by mail (postmarked no later than December 24, 2025) or electronically via the website (no later than December 24, 2025). Failure to submit your Proof of Claim by December 24, 2025, will subject your claim to rejection and preclude you from receiving any of the recovery in connection with the Settlement of this Action. If you purchased or acquired Equinix common stock between May 3, 2019, and March 24, 2024, inclusive, and do not request exclusion from the Class, you will be bound by the Settlement and any judgment and releases entered in the Action, including, but not limited to, the Judgment, whether or not you submit a Proof of Claim.
