COVID-19 IMPACT TO BUSINESS AND OBSERVATIONS . This is a fluid situation that we are closely monitoring across our markets in the U.S. and Europe . Governmental authorities across the globe have been issuing stay-at-home or shelter-in-place orders − In most jurisdictions, both data center operations and data center construction have been deemed “essential activities,” meaning we can continue these processes even through shelter-in-place orders and other bans on activities Limited Current − Our data center portfolio is fully operational Impact to Business − At this time, we have not experienced any shutdown of construction projects, and we continue to monitor the situation closely . Our supply chain remains intact, with redundancy of supply for key operational and construction-related products . We have not been notified by customers of any significant delays in expected implementation timelines . We are most concerned with the health and safety of all our team members and customers and their families . We have strong support from our bankers, suppliers, customers and all other constituencies, for which we are incredibly grateful Additional Observations . We remain resolute in supporting our customers’ current and future infrastructure requirements . The existing situation highlights the critical role that Internet infrastructure, and data centers in particular, play in supporting the global economy. The implications from the current increase in demand for remote IT access and WFH capabilities are likely long-term positive indicators for our industry Company Update - March 25, 2020 7
