Effective March 31, 2026, Mike Campbell will retire from the role of Chief Sales Officer of Equinix, Inc. (the “Company”). Thereafter, Mr. Campbell has agreed to continue to serve the Company in a part-time advisory capacity as Special Advisor.

On February 16, 2026, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Transition Agreement”) with Mr. Campbell, setting forth the terms of his transition arrangements. After March 31, 2026, Mr. Campbell will be employed as Special Advisor through March 5, 2027 (the “Transition Period”), assisting with the transition of his duties and providing ongoing strategic advice and support to the Chief Customer and Revenue Officer of the Company. The Transition Period may be terminated earlier by the Company for Cause, as defined in the Transition Agreement, or by Mr. Campbell for any reason, and the Transition Agreement provides for automatic termination upon Mr. Campbell’s acceptance of employment or other full-time services with a third party unless specifically permitted by the Transition Agreement. As Special Advisor, Mr. Campbell will earn a base salary of $150,000 per year but shall not be eligible to earn a bonus in respect of any performance period after March 31, 2026. During the Transition Period, Mr. Campbell’s previously granted equity awards will continue to vest in accordance with their terms. The Transition Agreement also provides for customary covenants and a release of claims by Mr. Campbell.

The foregoing description of the Transition Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Transition Agreement, a copy of which will be filed with the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2026.
