Data center REIT CyrusOne is being acquired by KKR and Global Infrastructure Partners in an all-cash deal valued at $15 billion, including the assumption of debt.

The transaction, unanimously approved by the CyrusOne Board of Directors, is not subject to a financing condition and is expected to close in the second quarter of 2022, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and approval by CyrusOne stockholders.
