Antitrust Division's review of the Equinix - Switch and Data Merger

from the Equinix filing:

>>On January 6, 2010, Equinix received a Request for Additional Information (commonly referred to as a "second request") from the Antitrust Division in connection with the Antitrust Division's review of the Merger. This second request extends the waiting period imposed by the HSR Act until 30 days after Equinix has substantially complied with the second request unless that period is extended voluntarily by Equinix or terminated sooner by the Antitrust Division. Equinix intends to respond promptly to the second request and now expects the Merger to close in the second quarter of 2010.
