CyrusOne Inc. Files Resale and Universal Shelf Registrations


DALLAS --(Business Wire)--

Global data center service provider CyrusOne (News - Alert) Inc. (NASDAQ: CONE) today filed a resale shelf registration statement ("Resale Shelf Registration") and a universal shelf registration statement ("Universal Shelf Registration") each on Form S-3 with the Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC (News - Alert)"). The Resale Shelf Registration relates to the potential future resale of up to 1,890,000 shares of our common stock and the possible exchange and resale of up to 42,586,835 operating partnership units for shares of our common stock. As a result of the transactions relating to our formation in November 2012 and IPO in January 2013, subsidiaries of Cincinnati Bell (News - Alert) Inc. ("CBI") received an aggregate consideration of approximately $845 million, comprised of 1,890,000 shares of our common stock and 42,586,835 operating partnership units. In connection with our formation transactions, CBI received registration rights that contractually obligate us to file today's Resale Shelf Registration. We are registering the applicable shares of our common stock to provide CBI with freely tradable securities, including in the case of an exchange. The Resale Shelf Registration also provides us the ability to generate net proceeds from primary offerings that would be used to acquire operating partnership units directly from CBI in the case of a redemption.

The Universal Shelf Registration is intended to provide flexibility to publicly offer and sell from time to time up to $600 million of debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, warrants, rights, and units or any combination of such securities. The company may periodically offer one or more of these securities in amounts, at prices and on terms announce if and when the securities are ever offered.



The registration statements relating to these securities have been filed with the SEC but have not yet become effective. These securities may not be sold, nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the registration statements become effective. This announcement is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy securities.
