Interxion Issues Statement in Response to TelecityGroup's Confirmation of Receipt of an Unsolicited Proposal from Equinix Inc.


Interxion (News - Alert) Holding N.V. (NYSE: INXN) ("Interxion"), a leading European provider of data center services, today issued the following statement in response to the announcement today by TelecityGroup plc (LSE: TCY.L.; "TelecityGroup") confirming that TelecityGroup has entered into discussions concerning a possible takeover offer for TelecityGroup by Equinix (News - Alert).

On 9 March 2015, Interxion and TelecityGroup announced an agreement to implement a recommended all-share merger (the "Merger") (the "Implementation Agreement") which was unanimously approved by both boards. Interxion remains committed to the transaction with TelecityGroup on the terms as agreed by the parties, and both parties continue to work to progress the transaction. As announced earlier, the Merger has received clearance by the Federal Cartel Office of Germany, an important milestone in the regulatory approval process. Interxion continues to believe that the pending Merger with TelecityGroup is a strategically compelling combination that delivers meaningful value to Interxion and TelecityGroup shareholders as well as their customers.

Pursuant to the terms of the Implementation Agreement, TelecityGroup's entrance into discussions with Equinix releases Interxion from its exclusivity obligations with TelecityGroup during the pendency of the discussions.

Interxion will make further announcements regarding the Merger as and when appropriate.
