As we have significant influence over CyrusOne, we account for this investment using the equity method. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, our equity method share of CyrusOne's net loss was $4.7 million and $6.6 million, respectively.
CyrusOne's operations will be primarily conducted through CyrusOne LP, a limited partnership. As of June 30, 2013, we held 1.9 million shares of the common stock of CyrusOne and 42.6 million units of the partnership units of CyrusOne LP. This structure results in the Company having an effective economic ownership of approximately 69% of CyrusOne.
Commencing January 17, 2014, we may exchange the partnership units of CyrusOne LP into cash, or shares of common stock of CyrusOne, as determined by CyrusOne, on a one-for-one basis based upon the fair value of a share of CyrusOne common stock. As of June 30, 2013, the fair value of this investment was $922.4 million based on the quoted market price of CyrusOne's common stock, which is considered a Level 1 measurement in the fair value hierarchy.
