TelecityGroup and Interxion Reach Definitive Agreement on All-Share Merger

London and Amsterdam – 9 March 2015 - TelecityGroup plc (LSE: TCY.L; “TelecityGroup”) and Interxion Holding N.V. (NYSE: INXN; “Interxion”), each a provider of data centres in Europe, announce that they have entered into a definitive agreement on an all-share merger on the same terms as announced on 11 February 2015. The transaction will be structured as an offer by TelecityGroup to acquire all the issued and to be issued share capital of Interxion.

The boards of TelecityGroup and Interxion believe the combination of the two businesses is strategically compelling. Demand for data centre services is evolving rapidly as enterprise data and digital applications migrate to the cloud. The additional geographic scope and financial scale of the combined business will provide customers with more robust connectivity choices and cloud platforms, and will be better positioned to service the needs of global data centre customers.

TelecityGroup Executive Chairman John Hughes said: “Today is another important step in the transformational merger of TelecityGroup and Interxion to create a leading data centre services platform that will be well-positioned to address global markets. This merger is underpinned by significant value creation potential and I am pleased to confirm that we are delivering on our commitment to create value and returns for shareholders with the initiation of a share buy-back programme upon closing of the transaction of up to £800 million. I look forward to the completion of this merger and working with our colleagues at Interxion.”

Interxion Chief Executive Officer David Ruberg said: “The combination of Interxion and TelecityGroup leverages the core strengths of both companies, providing the opportunity to drive growth and capture a greater share of the expanding global data centre market. Together, we will have the enhanced scale and scope to further develop communities of interest and provide our customers with greater product choice, solutions and connectivity as European cloud adoption develops. I look forward to working with the TelecityGroup team as we capitalise on the significant growth opportunities ahead and deliver additional value to our customers, partners and investors.”

Interxion Chairman John Baker said: “This is a compelling combination that delivers meaningful value for shareholders. Interxion shareholders further benefit from the opportunity to participate in the significant upside of the combined group, which will be strongly positioned to deliver on its strategic objectives.”

Key Terms

The terms of the transaction are as announced on 11 February 2015, with Interxion shareholders receiving 2.3386 new TelecityGroup shares per Interxion share. As a result, TelecityGroup shareholders will own approximately 55%, and Interxion shareholders approximately 45%, of the combined group. The primary listing for the combined group will be on the London Stock Exchange with a U.S. listing for TelecityGroup’s existing ADR programme contemplated on either the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ.

Key Benefits of the Proposed Combination

Customer benefits

 

    Wide range of connectivity and access to all major cloud platforms;

 

    Complementary geographic footprint with multi-site / multi-country products and services;

 

    Enhanced customer offerings and product choice to attract magnetic customers and grow communities of interest;

 

    Continued data centre innovation and additional managed services on an expanded scale;

 

    Expanded gateways to global markets; and

 

    Operational excellence and enhanced customer service.

Significant synergy potential

 

    Incremental EBITDA from enhanced growth opportunities is estimated by TelecityGroup to be approximately £10 million per year on a run-rate basis;

 

    Cost savings attributable to reduction of duplicate activities, combined operations and support, streamlining of go-to-market activities and elimination of duplicate general and administrative expenditure are estimated by TelecityGroup to be approximately £30 million per year on a run-rate basis;

 

    These synergies are expected to be fully realised in the third full year following completion with an estimated one-off cost of implementation of approximately £30 million expected to be incurred by the end of the first full year following completion;

 

    TelecityGroup also estimates reduced cost for new builds and optimised maintenance and sales capex synergies of approximately £15 million per year and additional one-off capex savings from cancellation of specific projects for a value of approximately £150 million;

 

    In total, capital expenditure synergies are estimated by TelecityGroup to have a net present value of £275 million - £325 million;

 

    In aggregate, this equates to a net present value of total synergies of £575 million - £625 million; and

 

    In addition, TelecityGroup expects other incremental benefits from financial synergies, including cost of capital, tax, and commercial synergies.

Capital market access

 

    Enhanced access to the capital markets; and

 

    Combined balance sheet strength and capital allocation discipline that will enable the combined group to capitalise on future growth opportunities as well as deliver predictable capital returns to shareholders.

It is intended that the combined group will seek to initiate a share buy-back programme of up to £800 million upon closing of the proposed transaction. TelecityGroup expects to target a net debt / EBITDA ratio of up to 3.0x.

The transaction is expected to be broadly earnings neutral to TelecityGroup shareholders in the first full year of the combined group (assuming full run-rate synergies and excluding one-off costs of implementation) and earnings accretive thereafter.*

TelecityGroup shareholders will benefit from the enhanced revenue and total shareholder returns of the combined group as well as the significant value creation potential that will accrue from the cost and capital expenditure synergies. The combined group will pursue a profitable growth strategy with a disciplined capital allocation approach and a commitment to returning cash to shareholders with a focus on building shareholder value.

Irrevocable Undertakings

The directors of Interxion have irrevocably committed in respect of their aggregate holding of 858,762 shares (approximately 1.24% of Interxion’s outstanding share capital) and Baker Capital entities have also irrevocably committed in respect of their aggregate holding of 18,657,892 shares (approximately 26.89% of Interxion’s outstanding share capital and, when aggregated with the holdings of the directors of Interxion, 19,516,654 shares and approximately 28.13% of Interxion’s outstanding share capital):

 

    Not to sell their Interxion shares before completion of the transaction; and

 

    To accept the offer to be made by TelecityGroup in respect of their Interxion shares.

 

2


LOGO

 

Interxion directors have irrevocably committed not to sell or otherwise deal in the TelecityGroup shares received by them pursuant to their acceptance of the offer for a period of 180 days following completion of the transaction (subject to customary permitted sale and transfer provisions including concerning estate planning, tax payments and as may be agreed by TelecityGroup).

The directors of TelecityGroup have irrevocably committed to vote in favour of the resolutions to be proposed at a general meeting of TelecityGroup shareholders to approve the merger and issue the new TelecityGroup shares.

The undertakings described above will lapse in limited circumstances, including pursuant to fiduciary obligations and termination of the binding implementation agreement described below.

Governance and Senior Management

John Hughes will be Chairman of the combined group, with John Baker as Deputy Chairman. David Ruberg has played a key role in orchestrating the combination of TelecityGroup and Interxion and will initially lead the new, combined group to launch this important new phase. As part of the transaction, he has agreed to remain as Chief Executive Officer for a period of 12 months while an appropriate successor can be identified and recruited. Upon receipt of all relevant anti-trust approvals, the Board of TelecityGroup will formally commence the search for a new Chief Executive Officer to lead the combined group. Eric Hageman will be Chief Financial Officer of the combined group. The board of the combined group will comprise a balance of three independent non-executive directors from each of TelecityGroup and Interxion.

John Hughes will continue to operate as Executive Chairman of TelecityGroup until completion of the proposed transaction. Claudia Arney, the Senior Independent Non-Executive Director for TelecityGroup, has taken up the role of Deputy Chair of TelecityGroup for the same period.

Anticipated Timetable to Completion

Due to its size, the proposed all-share merger is a Class 1 transaction under the UK Listing Rules and therefore requires the approval of TelecityGroup shareholders. Completion of the transaction will also be subject, amongst other things, to TelecityGroup having received valid acceptances for at least 95 per cent of the total issued share capital of Interxion (or, at TelecityGroup’s election, not less than 80 per cent) and all relevant regulatory and anti-trust approvals.

Prior to launching the tender offer, TelecityGroup and its advisers must prepare a number of documents for filing as part of the US registration and listing process, and Interxion shall undertake consultations on the proposed transaction with relevant works councils, trade unions and other employee organisations. Final documents are expected to be filed, alongside publication of the prospectus and circular to TelecityGroup shareholders, in the second half of 2015.

The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2015.
