Our 69% effective ownership is held in the form of 1.9 million shares of unregistered common stock of CyrusOne Inc. and 42.6 million of economically equivalent partnership units in its underlying operating entity, CyrusOne LP. For the year ended December 31, 2013, our equity method share of CyrusOne's net loss was $10.7 million.
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, subject to certain limitations which restrict the volume of shares we are permitted to sell. The restrictions lapse upon the effectiveness of CyrusOne Inc.'s registration statement, to be filed by March 24, 2014.
As of December 31, 2013, the fair value of this investment was $993.2 million based on the quoted market price of CyrusOne's common stock, which is considered a Level 1 measurement in the fair value hierarchy.
