Exhibit 99.1
Dear [CUSTOMER],
CoreSite’s purpose is to provide you with trusted and connectivity-rich data communities to power your digital transformation and create a more collaborative world. Our success has been, and continues to be, dependent on your success as our valued customer. We appreciate our role as your business ally, entrusted with your critical infrastructure, so you are ready for what’s next.
To that end, today CoreSite announced that we have entered into an agreement to be acquired by American Tower Corporation, a leading global provider of wireless communications infrastructure, including towers and next generation wireless technologies. The transaction will create a differentiated, comprehensive and interconnected communications real estate platform optimally positioned to benefit from the convergence of wireline and wireless networks amid accelerating global 5G deployments. Please reference our press release announcing this transaction here [LINK].
By combining the connectivity, talent, and resources of our two companies, we will be even better equipped to deliver superior service and innovative hybrid IT solutions to future-proof your digital business. This transaction brings together American Tower’s wireless connectivity at the mobile edge and CoreSite’s highly interconnected data center campuses and native cloud onramps at the core edge to create a new extended edge. As a result, you will gain the ability to use additional communications infrastructure to deliver a seamless experience to your customers.
Harnessing the complementary power of the core and mobile edge will also enable you to take full advantage of the potential of 5G, using the integration between wireless data networks, interconnected data center campuses, and native cloud onramps in an interoperable digital supply chain. In addition, with American Tower’s global footprint, our combined company will be well positioned to improve CoreSite’s ability to support your future business initiatives and scale into new metro areas and internationally.
We expect the transaction to be completed by the end of the year, or shortly thereafter, subject to customary closing conditions. There are no immediate changes to the way you do business with CoreSite, and your current points of contact remain the same.
As we move towards closing, planning will take place to assure that in every phase of this process, your needs are always met and we continue to deliver the high quality service and solutions you expect from CoreSite. In the interim, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to your sales representative or client services representative.
Thank you for your support and partnership. This is an exciting development for CoreSite and we look forward to continuing to provide you with exceptional interconnection solutions, delivered by best-in-class service, for many years to come.
Sincerely,
Paul Szurek, CEO
