Key Terms

senior unsecured obligations, Regulation S, Eligible Green Projects, global revolving credit facilities

4 terms

senior unsecured obligations financial

"will be senior unsecured obligations"

Senior unsecured obligations are loans or bonds that a company promises to pay back with its own money, but without any special guarantees or collateral. If the company runs into financial trouble, these debts are paid after other debts with priority, meaning they are less protected but still important. They matter because they show how risky it is to lend money to a company.

Regulation S regulatory

"in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act"

Regulation S is a set of rules that allows companies to sell securities (like shares or bonds) to investors outside the United States without having to follow all U.S. securities laws. It matters because it makes it easier for companies to raise money from international investors while still complying with U.S. regulations.

Eligible Green Projects technical

"collectively, “Eligible Green Projects”"

A set of projects, activities, or assets that meet predefined environmental criteria for using proceeds from green financing, such as renewable energy, energy efficiency, pollution control, or sustainable water systems. Think of it like an approved shopping list of eco-friendly investments that money raised under a green label must fund. Investors care because these criteria aim to reduce environmental risk, improve transparency, and align capital with sustainability goals—factors that can affect reputation, regulation, and long-term returns.

global revolving credit facilities financial

"under the operating partnership’s global revolving credit facilities"

Item 8.01. Other Events.

Euro Notes Offering

On October 6, 2026, Digital Euro Finco, LLC, a wholly owned indirect finance subsidiary of the operating partnership, commenced an offering of Euro-denominated Guaranteed Notes (the “Euro Notes”). The Euro Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of Digital Euro Finco, LLC and will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Digital Realty Trust, Inc. and the operating partnership. Consummation of the offering is subject to market and other conditions. The Euro Notes will be offered only 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 registration requirements. The final terms of the Euro Notes will be determined at the time of pricing.

The company intends to allocate an amount equal to the net proceeds from the offering of the Euro Notes to finance or refinance, in part or in full, new and/or existing renewable energy, energy efficiency, pollution prevention and control, environmentally sustainable management of living natural resources and land use, terrestrial and aquatic biodiversity, clean transportation, sustainable water and wastewater management, climate change adaptation and green building projects, including the development and redevelopment of such projects (collectively, “Eligible Green Projects”). Pending the allocation of the net proceeds of the Euro Notes to Eligible Green Projects, all or a portion of an amount equal to the net proceeds from the Euro Notes may be used to temporarily repay borrowings outstanding under the operating partnership’s global revolving credit facilities, acquire additional properties or businesses, fund development opportunities, invest in interest-bearing accounts and short-term, interest-bearing securities which are consistent with Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s intention to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and to provide for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including potentially for the repayment of other debt, or the redemption, repurchase, repayment or retirement of outstanding equity or debt securities, or a combination of the foregoing.

Recent Developments—Financings

On September 28, 2026, Digital Constellation B.V., a wholly owned indirect finance subsidiary of the operating partnership, priced an offering of CHF225.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.6803% Guaranteed Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”), CHF185.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.0600% Guaranteed Notes due 2032 (the “2032 Notes”) and CHF100.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.4150% Guaranteed Notes due 2036 (the “2036 Notes” and, together with the 2029 Notes and the 2032 Notes, the “Swiss Franc Notes”), which are expected to be issued on October 6, 2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The Swiss Franc Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of Digital Constellation B.V. and will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Digital Realty Trust, Inc., the operating partnership and Digital Intrepid Holding B.V., an indirect wholly owned holding and finance subsidiary of the operating partnership that holds the Interxion business. The Swiss Franc Notes are being sold outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and in Switzerland pursuant to a public offering made in reliance on an exemption from the obligation to publish a prospectus approved by a Swiss review body pursuant to article 51(2) of the Swiss Financial Services Act and article 60 of the Swiss Financial Services Ordinance. The Swiss Franc 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.

Net proceeds from the offering of the Swiss Franc Notes are expected to be approximately CHF508.4 million after deducting the managers’ commissions and certain offering expenses. We intend to use the net proceeds from the offering of the Swiss Franc Notes to temporarily repay borrowings outstanding under the operating partnership’s global revolving credit facilities, acquire additional properties or businesses, fund development opportunities, invest in interest-bearing accounts and short-term, interest-bearing securities which are consistent with Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s intention to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and to provide for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including potentially for the repayment of other debt, or the redemption, repurchase, repayment or retirement of outstanding equity or debt securities, or a combination of the foregoing.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains certain “forward-looking” statements as that term is defined by Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Statements that are predictive in nature, that depend on or relate to future events or conditions, or that include words such as “believes”, “anticipates”, “expects”, “may”, “will”, “would”, “should”, “estimates”, “could”, “intends”, “plans” or other similar expressions are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve significant known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause the company’s actual results in future periods to differ materially from those projected or contemplated in the forward-looking statements as a result of, but not limited to, the following factors: timing and consummation of the offering of the Euro Notes; the intended use of the net proceeds from the offering of the Euro Notes; risks and uncertainties related to market conditions and satisfaction of customary closing conditions related to the offerings of the Euro Notes and the Swiss Franc Notes; and the impact of legislative, regulatory and competitive changes and other risk factors relating to the industries in which we operate, as detailed from time to time in each of our reports filed with the SEC. There can be no assurance that the proposed transactions will be consummated on the terms described herein or at all.

The risks included here are not exhaustive, and additional factors could adversely affect our business and financial performance. We discussed a number of additional material risks in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2026, and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Those risks continue to be relevant to our performance and financial condition. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all such risk factors on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
