CyrusOne Inc. Announces Public Offering of Common Stock (Businesswire)

2018-09-25 22:09

CyrusOne Inc. (NASDAQ: CONE) (“CyrusOne”) announced today that it has commenced the public offering of 8,000,000 shares of its common stock, of which 5,500,000 shares will be offered directly by CyrusOne, and 2,500,000 shares will be offered, at the request of CyrusOne, by the Forward Purchaser (as defined below) or its affiliate in connection with the forward sale agreement described below. CyrusOne will grant the underwriters an option to purchase up to 1,200,000 additional shares of its common stock in connection with the offering.

Morgan Stanley, Deutsche Bank Securities, RBC Capital Markets and TD Securities are acting as joint-bookrunners for the offering.

In connection with the offering of CyrusOne’s common stock, CyrusOne expects to enter into a forward sale agreement with Morgan Stanley (who is referred to in such capacity as the “Forward Purchaser”), with respect to 2,500,000 shares of CyrusOne’s common stock covered by the offering. The Forward Purchaser or its affiliate is expected to borrow from third parties and sell to the public through the underwriters 2,500,000 shares of CyrusOne’s common stock.

Pursuant to the terms of the forward sale agreement, and subject to CyrusOne’s right to elect cash or net share settlement under the forward sale agreement, CyrusOne intends to issue and sell, upon physical settlement of such forward sale agreement, 2,500,000 shares of its common stock to the Forward Purchaser in exchange for cash proceeds per share equal to the applicable forward sale price, which will initially be the public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions, and will be subject to certain adjustments as provided in the forward sale agreement. CyrusOne expects to physically settle the forward sale agreement in full and receive proceeds by September 15, 2019.

CyrusOne will receive proceeds from the sale of shares of its common stock offered by it in the offering, but will not initially receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of its common stock offered by the Forward Purchaser or its affiliate to the underwriters, except in certain circumstances described in the prospectus supplement relating to the offering. CyrusOne intends to contribute the net proceeds from the sale and settlement of shares of its common stock in the offering and the forward sale agreement, respectively, to its operating partnership, CyrusOne LP (the “Operating Partnership”), in exchange for an equivalent number of newly issued common units of limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership.

The Operating Partnership intends to use such proceeds to repay borrowings under the senior unsecured revolving credit facility, fund growth capital expenditures related to recently signed leases and for general corporate purposes, which may include funding future acquisitions, investments or capital expenditures.

The shares are being offered pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The offering will be made only by means of a prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus. The preliminary prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus related to the offering has been filed with the SEC and is available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.
