<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On January&nbsp;16, 2019, Digital Euro Finco, LLC, a wholly owned indirect finance subsidiary of the operating partnership, issued and sold
&#128;850&nbsp;million aggregate principal amount of 2.500% Guaranteed Notes due 2026 denominated in Euros (the &#147;Euro Notes&#148;). The Euro Notes are senior unsecured obligations of Digital Euro Finco, LLC and are fully and unconditionally
guaranteed by Digital Realty Trust, Inc. and the operating partnership. The Euro Notes were sold outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;Securities Act&#148;). The Euro Notes have
not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to United States persons (within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act) absent registration or an applicable
exemption from the registration requirements. The terms of the Euro Notes are governed by an indenture, dated as of January&nbsp;16, 2019, among Digital Euro Finco, LLC, Digital Realty Trust, Inc., the operating partnership, Deutsche Trustee Company
Limited, as trustee, Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, as paying agent and a transfer agent, and Deutsche Bank Luxembourg S.A., as registrar and a transfer agent (the &#147;Indenture&#148;), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and
incorporated herein by reference. The Indenture contains various restrictive covenants, including limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness and requirements to maintain a pool of unencumbered assets. The descriptions of the
Indenture, the Euro Notes and the guarantees in this report are summaries and are qualified in their entirety by the terms of the Indenture, including the forms of the Euro Notes included therein. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Net proceeds from the offering were approximately &#128;843.5&nbsp;million after deducting managers&#146; discounts and estimated offering expenses. We intend
to allocate an amount equal to the net proceeds from the offering of the Euro Notes to finance or refinance, in whole or in part, certain green building, energy and resource efficiency and renewable energy projects (collectively, &#147;Eligible
Green Projects&#148;), including the development and redevelopment of such projects. Pending the allocation of an amount equal to the net proceeds of the Euro Notes to Eligible Green Projects, all or a portion of an amount equal to the net proceeds
may be used for the payment of outstanding indebtedness or other capital management activities. Such indebtedness to be redeemed or repaid is expected to include the operating partnership&#146;s 5.875% Senior Notes due 2020 pursuant to a previously
announced tender offer for such notes, by redemption or otherwise, and may include borrowings under the operating partnership&#146;s global credit facilities, as well as other outstanding debt securities. </P>

annum and will mature on January&nbsp;16, 2026. Interest is payable on the Euro Notes on January 16th of each year beginning on January&nbsp;16, 2020. The Euro Notes are senior unsecured obligations of Digital Euro Finco, LLC and rank equally in
right of payment with all of Digital Euro Finco, LLC&#146;s other existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. Digital Euro Finco, LLC&#146;s obligations under the Euro Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by

Introductory Note
Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this report to "we," "us," "our,"
"our company," "the company" or "Digital Realty" refer to Digital Realty Trust, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries, including Digital Realty Trust, L.P., our "operating partnership."
Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On January 16, 2019, Digital Euro Finco, LLC, a wholly owned indirect finance subsidiary of the operating partnership, issued and sold
€850 million aggregate principal amount of 2.500% Guaranteed Notes due 2026 denominated in Euros (the "Euro Notes"). The Euro Notes are senior unsecured obligations of Digital Euro Finco, LLC and are fully and unconditionally
guaranteed by Digital Realty Trust, Inc. and the operating partnership. The Euro Notes were sold outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Euro Notes have
not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to United States persons (within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act) absent registration or an applicable
exemption from the registration requirements. The terms of the Euro Notes are governed by an indenture, dated as of January 16, 2019, among Digital Euro Finco, LLC, Digital Realty Trust, Inc., the operating partnership, Deutsche Trustee Company
Limited, as trustee, Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, as paying agent and a transfer agent, and Deutsche Bank Luxembourg S.A., as registrar and a transfer agent (the "Indenture"), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and
incorporated herein by reference. The Indenture contains various restrictive covenants, including limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness and requirements to maintain a pool of unencumbered assets. The descriptions of the
Indenture, the Euro Notes and the guarantees in this report are summaries and are qualified in their entirety by the terms of the Indenture, including the forms of the Euro Notes included therein.
Net proceeds from the offering were approximately €843.5 million after deducting managers' discounts and estimated offering expenses. We intend
to allocate an amount equal to the net proceeds from the offering of the Euro Notes to finance or refinance, in whole or in part, certain green building, energy and resource efficiency and renewable energy projects (collectively, "Eligible
Green Projects"), including the development and redevelopment of such projects. Pending the allocation of an amount equal to the net proceeds of the Euro Notes to Eligible Green Projects, all or a portion of an amount equal to the net proceeds
may be used for the payment of outstanding indebtedness or other capital management activities. Such indebtedness to be redeemed or repaid is expected to include the operating partnership's 5.875% Senior Notes due 2020 pursuant to a previously
announced tender offer for such notes, by redemption or otherwise, and may include borrowings under the operating partnership's global credit facilities, as well as other outstanding debt securities.
Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangement
of a Registrant.
On January 16, 2019, Digital Euro Finco, LLC, a wholly owned indirect finance subsidiary of the operating partnership, issued
and sold €850 million aggregate principal amount of the Euro Notes. The purchase price paid by the initial purchasers for the Euro Notes was 99.956% of the principal amount thereof. The Euro Notes bear interest at the rate of 2.500% per
annum and will mature on January 16, 2026. Interest is payable on the Euro Notes on January 16th of each year beginning on January 16, 2020. The Euro Notes are senior unsecured obligations of Digital Euro Finco, LLC and rank equally in
right of payment with all of Digital Euro Finco, LLC's other existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. Digital Euro Finco, LLC's obligations under the Euro Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by
Digital Realty Trust, Inc. and the operating partnership.
The Euro Notes are redeemable in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at Digital
Euro Finco, LLC's option, at a redemption price equal to the sum of:
•
an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Euro Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest
up to, but not including, the redemption date; and
•
a make-whole premium calculated in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any of the Euro Notes are redeemed on or after 90 days prior to the
maturity date, the redemption price will not include a make-whole premium.
All payments of principal and interest on the Euro Notes will be made free and
clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by the United States or a political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein having power to tax,
unless the withholding of such tax, assessment or governmental charge is required by law or the official interpretation or administration thereof. In the event such withholding or deduction of taxes is required by law, then, subject to certain
exceptions, Digital Euro Finco, LLC will pay such "additional amounts" necessary so that the net payment of the principal of and interest on the Euro Notes to a holder who is not a United States person for United States federal income tax
purposes, including additional amounts, after the withholding or deduction, will not be less than the amount provided in such Euro Notes to be then due and payable.
If, due to certain changes in tax law, Digital Euro Finco, LLC has or will become obligated to pay additional amounts on the Euro Notes or if there is a
substantial probability that Digital Euro Finco, LLC will become obligated to pay additional amounts on the Euro Notes, then Digital Euro Finco, LLC may, on giving not less than 15 days' nor more than 45 days' notice, at its option, redeem
the Euro Notes, in whole but not in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Euro Notes to be redeemed, together with interest accrued and unpaid to the date fixed for redemption.
Certain events are considered events of default, which may result in the accelerated maturity of the Euro Notes, including:
•
a default for 30 days in payment of any installment of interest under the Euro Notes;
•
a default in the payment of the principal amount or redemption price due with respect to the Euro Notes, when the
same becomes due and payable;
•
Digital Euro Finco, LLC's, Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s, or the operating partnership's failure to
comply with any of their respective other agreements in the Euro Notes or the Indenture upon receipt by Digital Euro Finco, LLC, Digital Realty Trust, Inc., or the operating partnership of notice of such default by the trustee or by holders of not
less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Euro Notes then outstanding and Digital Euro Finco, LLC's, Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s, or the operating partnership's failure to cure (or obtain a waiver of) such default within 60
days after receipt of such notice;
•
failure to pay any indebtedness that is (a) of Digital Euro Finco, LLC, Digital Realty Trust, Inc., the
operating partnership, any subsidiary in which the operating partnership has invested at least $75,000,000 in capital, which we refer to as a Significant Subsidiary, or any entity in which the operating partnership is the general partner, and
(b) in an outstanding principal amount in excess of $75,000,000 at final maturity or upon acceleration after the expiration of any applicable grace period, which indebtedness is not discharged, or such default in payment or acceleration is not
cured or rescinded, within 60 days after written notice to Digital Euro Finco, LLC from the trustee (or to Digital Euro Finco, LLC and the trustee from holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Euro Notes); or
•
certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, or court appointment of a receiver, liquidator or
trustee of Digital Euro Finco, LLC, Digital Realty Trust, Inc., the operating partnership or any Significant Subsidiary or any substantial part of their respective property.
