Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On July 29, 2021, Tom Bartlett, a member of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Equinix, Inc. (the “Company”) since April 2013, resigned from the Board.

Mr. Bartlett’s decision to resign was not due to any disagreement with the Company, including on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or procedures.

Mr. Bartlett stepped into the role of Chief Executive Officer of American Tower in March of 2020. Given the demands on his time, resigning from the Board of the Company will better enable Mr. Bartlett to provide focused leadership to American Tower during this stage of the COVID-19 pandemic and the re-transition ahead.
