ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS

        On June 16, 2003, we announced a proposed public offering of $150 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016. We priced the offering on June 17, 2003 and will sell $150 million of our 65/8% Notes at 100% of par. The net proceeds to us are expected to be $147.5 million, after paying the underwriters' discounts and commissions and estimated expenses. We intend to use the net proceeds from the offering to redeem all or a portion of the outstanding 81/8% Senior Notes due 2008 of our subsidiary, Iron Mountain Canada Corporation, which we have guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis, and for general corporate purposes, including the possible repayment of other indebtedness and possible future acquisitions and investments. A copy of our press release regarding this event is being filed as an exhibit to this report. The public debt offering of the 65/8% Notes will be made only by means of a prospectus supplement. This Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities.
