BENSALEM, Pa.--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Law Offices of Howard G. Smith announces that it is investigating potential claims against Equinix, Inc. (aEquinixa or the aCompanya) (NASDAQ:EQIX) concerning possible breaches of fiduciary duties by the Company or its fiduciaries. Equinix is a global network-neutral provider of data centers and Internet exchanges.
The investigation concerns allegations that starting in July 2010 the Company issued a series of materially false and misleading statements regarding Equinixa™s business and financial results. Specifically, that Equinix was having difficulty with the integration of Switch & Data Corporation Facilities Company (which had formerly been Equinixa™s biggest competitor and which been acquired for $700 million in April 2010) into its operations due to a decline in bookings prior to the close of the acquisition and due to the Companya™s aggressive synergy plan. The Company further touted its data center colocation services as being robust and failed to disclose that the Companya™s ademand fulfillmenta business model was not working and causing Equinix to experience increased churn and pricing pressure on its colocation services.
On October 5, 2010, Equinix issued a press release announcing revised third-quarter and fiscal-year 2010 guidance, and also announced that the Company would transition from a ademand fulfillmenta business model to a ademand creationa model. On this news, Equinixa™s stock price fell by $34.75 per share, more than 33%, to close at $70.34 per share on October 6, 2010. The stock is currently trading in the range of $84.00 per share.
