Issuance of 4.875% Senior Notes due 2027

On September18, 2017,Iron Mountain Incorporated, or the Company, completed a private offering of $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of 4.875% Senior Notes due 2027, or the Notes. The Notes were sold at 100.000% of par. The net proceeds from the offering were approximately $985.7 million, after deducting discounts to the initial purchasers and estimated offering expenses. On September18, 2017, the Company used the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes, together with borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility, to fund the redemption of all of the outstanding $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of its 6.000% Senior Notes due 2020.

The Notes were offered and sold only to qualified institutional buyers to Rule144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and outside the United States to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities law, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

The Notes were issued under a Senior Indenture, dated as of September18, 2017, or the Indenture, by and among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors (as defined below) and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee.

The Company will pay 4.875% interest per annum on the principal amount of the Notes, payable semi-annually on March15 and September15 of each year. Interest will accrue on the Notes from September18, 2017, and the first interest payment date will be March15, 2018. The Notes will mature on September15, 2027, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased in accordance with the terms set forth in the Indenture.

The Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on an unsecured senior basis by the Company’s direct and indirect wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries that represent the substantial majority of its U.S. operations, or the Subsidiary Guarantors. The Notes and the guarantees will be the Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ general unsecured senior obligations, will be pari passu in right of payment with all of the Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ existing and future senior debt and will rank senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ existing and future subordinated debt. The Notes and the guarantees are effectively subordinated to the Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness and structurally subordinated to all liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Notes.

Prior to September15, 2022, the Company may, at its option, redeem all or a portion of the Notes at the make-whole price set forth in the Indenture. Prior to September15, 2020, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at the redemption price set forth in the Indenture so long as at least 60% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (originally issued) remains outstanding immediately afterwards. The Company has the option to redeem all or a portion of the Notes at any time on or after September15, 2022 at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture. Upon the sale of certain assets or upon certain changes of control, the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary (as defined in the Indenture), as applicable, may be required to offer to repurchase the Notes under the terms set forth in the Indenture.

The Indenture provides for customary “events of default” which could cause, or permit, the acceleration of the Notes and which are similar to those applicable to the Company’s currently outstanding senior notes. Under the terms of the Indenture, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries are also subject to covenants and restrictions which are generally similar to those applicable to the Company’s currently outstanding senior notes.

This brief description of the Notes is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Indenture, attached hereto as Exhibit4.1, which is incorporated herein by reference.
