    Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Statement.

    Item 2 of the Statement is hereby amended and supplemented by replacing the current Schedule A with Schedule A attached hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference.

    Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

    Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

    Item 4 of the Statement is hereby amended and supplemented by inserting the following:

    Amendment No. 2 to June 2020 Investor Rights Agreement

    On February 20, 2022, the Issuer and STT GDC entered into a second letter agreement (“Amendment No. 2 to the June 2020 IRA”) to amend the June 2020 IRA, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the June 2020 IRA (each as previously defined in the Statement and, together with Amendment No. 2 to the June 2020 IRA, the “February 2022 Amended June 2020 IRA”), to extend STT GDC’s preemptive rights thereunder to any allotment and issuance of New Securities (as defined in the February 2022 Amended June 2020 IRA) on or before June 25, 2023. In addition, pursuant to the February 2022 Amended June 2020 IRA, the Issuer granted STT GDC certain registration rights until such time that the relevant Registrable Securities (as defined in the February 2022 Amended June 2020 IRA) can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, without volume limitations.

    The description of Amendment No. 2 to the June 2020 IRA does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the form of such document attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference.

    0.25% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2029

    On February 21, 2022, STT GDC entered into a note purchase agreement (the “February 2022 Note Purchase Agreement”) with the Issuer to subscribe for and purchase from the Issuer $100.0 million of the Issuer’s unsecured 0.25% convertible senior notes due 2029 (the “0.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029”), which will be issued pursuant to a convertible note instrument (the “February 2022 Convertible Note Instrument”) between STT GDC and the Issuer, the form of which is appended to the Note Purchase Agreement. The Note Purchase Agreement contemplates the Issuer contemporaneously entering into another note purchase agreement with certain other investors named therein pursuant to which such other investors have agreed to subscribe for and purchase from the Issuer an aggregate principal amount of $520.0 million of 0.25% convertible senior notes due 2029 on substantially similar terms. STT GDC’s purchase of the 0.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 is conditional upon the closing of the purchase of the 0.25% convertible senior notes due 2029 by such other investors and other customary closing conditions. The foregoing transactions are collectively referred to as the “February 2022 Convertible Notes Offering”.

    Pursuant to the terms of the February 2022 Convertible Note Instrument, STT GDC will have the right, at its option, to convert all or a portion of the 0.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 held by it into fully paid Class A Shares (or such Class A Shares in the form of ADSs) of the Issuer at any time prior to the close of business on the third scheduled trading day (or the fifth scheduled trading day, in the case of a conversion into Class A Shares in lieu of ADSs) immediately preceding the maturity date of the 0.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029, which will be the date falling seven years after the date of the closing of the February 2022 Convertible Notes Offering, at a conversion price of $50 per ADS, representing an initial conversion rate of 20 ADSs per $1,000 principal amount of notes, subject to adjustments set out in the February 2022 Convertible Note Instrument.

    The February 2022 Convertible Notes Offering is expected to close on or about March 8, 2022, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all closing conditions, and, in any event, no later than two months after the date of the 2022 Note Purchase Agreement.

    The descriptions herein of the February 2022 Note Purchase Agreement and the February 2022 Convertible Note Instrument do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, the full text of the form of such documents attached hereto as Exhibits 99.3 and 99.4, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

    Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

    Item 5 of the Statement is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

    (a)-(b) STT, through its ownership of STTC and STT GDC, is deemed for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act to be the beneficial owner of 477,288,484 Class A Shares, or approximately 34.3% of the outstanding Class A Shares, and to have shared power over the voting and disposition of such Class A Shares, as of February 21, 2022.

    STTC, through its ownership of STT GDC, is deemed for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act to be the beneficial owner of 477,288,484 Class A Shares, or approximately 34.3% of the outstanding Class A Shares, and to have shared power over the voting and disposition of such Class A Shares, as of February 21, 2022.


    CUSIP No. 36165L108    Page 5 of 6

     

    STT GDC directly owns 477,288,484 Class A Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs), or approximately 34.3% of the outstanding Class A Shares, and has shared power over the voting and disposition of such Class A Shares, as of February 21, 2022.

    The percentage of beneficial ownership of the Reporting Persons is calculated based on 1,393,327,843 Class A Shares outstanding, comprising 1,456,842,659 Class A Shares represented by the Issuer in the February 2022 Convertible Note Purchase Agreement to be outstanding as of February 21, 2022, less 63,514,816 Class A Shares represented by the Issuer to be reserved for future delivery upon exercise or vesting of share awards granted under the Issuer’s share incentive plans.

    67,590,336 Class B Shares were represented by the Issuer in the February 2022 Convertible Note Purchase Agreement to be outstanding as of February 21, 2022. On that basis, the Class A Shares deemed to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons as of February 21, 2022 represented approximately 17.4% of the aggregate voting power on the matters with Class A Shares and Class B Shares voting on a 1:20 basis described herein and approximately 32.7% of the aggregate voting power on the matters with Class A Shares and Class B Shares voting on a 1:1 basis described herein.

    Assuming the completion of, and after giving effect to, the February 2022 Convertible Notes Offering, each of STT, through its ownership of STTC and STT GDC, and STTC, through its ownership of STT GDC, will be deemed for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act to be the beneficial owner of, and STT GDC will directly own 493,288,484 Class A Shares, including 16,000,000 Class A Shares issuable upon conversion of the 0.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029, or approximately 35.0% of the outstanding Class A Shares, and to have shared power over the voting and disposition of such Class A Shares. The foregoing percentage of beneficial ownership of the Reporting Persons is calculated by dividing (i) the 493,288,484 Class A Shares that will be deemed to be beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons assuming the completion of, and after giving effect to, the February 2022 Convertible Notes Offering by (ii) 1,409,327,843 Class A Shares, comprising 1,393,327,843 Class A Shares outstanding as described above plus 16,000,000 Class A Shares issuable upon conversion of the 0.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029. See Item 4 this Schedule 13D.

    67,590,336 Class B Shares are expected to remain outstanding assuming the completion of, and after giving effect to, the February 2022 Convertible Notes Offering.
