Assets Held for Sale

In June 2021, we entered into an agreement to form a joint venture in the form of a limited liability partnership with GIC Private Limited, Singapore's sovereign wealth fund ("GIC"), to develop and operate xScaleTM data centers in Europe and the Americas (the “EMEA 2 Joint Venture”). xScale data centers are engineered to meet the technical and operational requirements and price points of core hyperscale workload deployments and also offer access to our comprehensive suite of interconnection and edge solutions. The transaction was structured to close in phases over the course of approximately two years, pending regulatory approval and other closing conditions. The assets and liabilities of the Warsaw 4 ("WA4") data center site, which were included within our EMEA region, were classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2021. In June 2022, we sold the WA4 data center in exchange for a total consideration of $61.5 million. We recognized an insignificant gain on the sale of the WA4 data center.

In October 2021, we entered into an agreement to form a joint venture in the form of a limited liability partnership with PGIM Real Estate ("PGIM"), to develop and operate xScale data centers in Asia-Pacific (the "Asia-Pacific 2 Joint Venture"). The assets and liabilities of the Sydney 9 ("SY9") data center site, which were included within our Asia-Pacific region, were classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2021. Upon closing the joint venture in March 2022, we sold the SY9 data center in exchange for a total consideration of $201.3 million, which was comprised of $165.6 million of net cash proceeds, a 20% partnership interest in the Asia-Pacific 2 Joint Venture with a fair value of $29.8 million, and $5.9 million of receivables. We recognized an insignificant loss on the sale of the SY9 data center.

In March 2022, we entered into an agreement to sell the Mexico 3 ("MX3") data center site in connection with the formation of a new joint venture with GIC (the "AMER 1 Joint Venture") to develop and operate xScale data centers in the Americas. The assets and liabilities of the MX3 data center, which were included within our Americas region, were classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2021. Upon closing of the joint venture in March 2023, we sold the MX3 data center in exchange for a total consideration of $75.1 million, which was comprised of $63.9 million of net cash proceeds, a 20% partnership interest in the AMER 1 Joint Venture with a fair value of $8.4 million, and $2.8 million of receivables. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized an insignificant loss on the sale of the MX3 data center.
