CYRUSONE INC. (NASDAQ:CONE) Files An 8-K Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
ITEM 1.01 — Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Credit Agreement

On March 29, 2018, CyrusOne LP, a Maryland limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), among the Operating Partnership, as borrower, the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent for the Lenders, KeyBank National Association, as syndication agent, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., Barclays Bank PLC, RBC Capital Markets, LLC and TD Securities (USA) LLC, as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners. Proceeds from the Credit Agreement are being used, among other things, to repay the obligations outstanding under the Operating Partnership’s existing credit facility and for other corporate purposes.

The Credit Agreement provides for (i) a $1,700,000,000 senior unsecured multi-currency revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), (ii) senior unsecured five-year term loans in a dollar equivalent principal amount of $1,000,000,000, a portion of which in the principal amount of $300,000,000 is in the form of a delayed draw tranche (the “Five-Year Term Loan Facility”), and (iii) senior unsecured seven-year term loans in a principal amount of $300,000,000 (the “Seven-Year Term Loan Facility”). The Credit Agreement also includes an accordion feature to which the Operating Partnership is permitted to obtain additional revolving or term loan commitments so long as the aggregate principal amount of commitments and/or term loans under the Credit Agreement does not exceed $4,000,000,000. The Revolving Credit Facility provides for borrowings in U.S. Dollars, Euros, Pounds Sterling, Canadian Dollars, Australian Dollars, Japanese Yen, Hong Kong Dollars, Singapore Dollars and Swiss Francs (subject to a sublimit of $750,000,000 on borrowings in currencies other than U.S. Dollars). The Revolving Credit Facility matures on March 29, 2022 with one 12-month extension option. The Five-Year Term Loan Facility matures on March 29, 2023, and the Seven-Year Term Loan Facility matures on March 28, 2025.

The interest rates for borrowings under the Credit Agreement are, at the option of the borrower, based on a floating rate or base rate, plus a margin based on the ratio of the Company’s consolidated total indebtedness to gross asset value. Following the date on which the Operating Partnership’s senior unsecured debt is assigned an investment grade credit rating and the Operating Partnership submits a notice to the agent, the interest margin will be determined by reference to a pricing grid based on the then applicable credit rating for the Operating Partnership’s senior unsecured debt. The Credit Agreement includes certain restricted covenants, requirements to maintain certain financial ratios, including with respect to unencumbered assets, and events of default.

In connection with the Credit Agreement, CyrusOne Inc. (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a guarantee agreement (the “Guarantee Agreement”) to which the Company and such subsidiaries have provided a guarantee of the Operating Partnership’s obligations under the Credit Agreement.

The above description is only a summary of certain provisions of the Credit Agreement and the Guarantee Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the Credit Agreement and exhibits thereto (including the form of the Guarantee Agreement), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
