On October 2, 2014, as part of the Company’s review of the policies of CyrusOne Inc.

The amendments to the Code clarify, update or enhance the descriptions of the standards of conduct that are expected of all directors, officers and employees of CyrusOne and its subsidiaries. The adoption of the Code did not relate to or result in any waiver, explicit or implicit, of any provision of the Prior Code.
