ITEM 1.01 — Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Underwriting Agreement

 

On March 21, 2016, CyrusOne Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), completed its previously announced public offering (the “Offering”) of 6,900,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), which included 900,000 shares of Common Stock sold pursuant to the option granted to the underwriters by the Company.

 

In connection with the Offering, on March 16, 2016, the Company, CyrusOne GP, a Maryland statutory trust, and CyrusOne LP, a Maryland limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Goldman, Sachs & Co., Barclays Capital Inc. and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters specified therein (the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Underwriters up to 6,900,000 shares of Common Stock (including 900,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to an option granted to the Underwriters by the Company) pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-194771). The above summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Underwriting Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

 

The opinion of Venable LLP, relating to the validity of the Common Stock offered and sold pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, is filed herewith as Exhibit 5.1.

 

Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

 

On March 17, 2016, the Operating Partnership entered into a first amended and restated credit agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”), which amended and restated in its entirety the credit agreement governing its senior unsecured revolving credit facility and senior unsecured term loan facility, originally dated as of October 9, 2014 (as previously amended, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Operating Partnership, as borrower, the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”), KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”), as administrative agent for the Lenders, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as syndication agent, and KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, TD Securities (USA) LLC, Barclays Bank PLC and RBC Capital Markets, as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners, and the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a first amended and restated guaranty (the “Amended Guaranty”) relating to the Amended Credit Agreement, which amended and restated in its entirety the guaranty relating to the Credit Agreement.

 

The Amended Credit Agreement, among other things, provides for an additional $250.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the “Term Loan B”), in addition to (i) the existing $300.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the “Term Loan A”, and together with the Term Loan B, the “Term Loans”) and (ii) the existing $650.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Loans”, and together with the Term Loans, the “Loans”). The terms and conditions of the Revolving Loans and the Term Loan A under the Amended Credit Agreement are substantially the same as those under the Credit Agreement. Loans under the Term Loan B are scheduled to mature on September 17, 2021 and otherwise have terms and conditions that are substantially the same as those applicable under the Term Loan A. Loans under the Term Loan B will initially bear interest at a rate of LIBOR + 1.65%. The Amended Credit Agreement has an accordion feature, under which the Operating Partnership may request an increase in the total commitments up to an amount not to exceed $250.0 million in the aggregate across the Loans. The Amended Credit Agreement also effects certain technical amendments to the Credit Agreement.

 

On March 17, 2016, the Operating Partnership borrowed $250.0 million in loans under the Term Loan B. The net proceeds of such loans have been applied to repay outstanding Revolving Loans.

 

The above description is only a summary of certain provisions of the Amended Credit Agreement and the Amended Guaranty and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the Amended
