  1. Long-Term Incentive Units are profits interest units in Digital Realty Trust, L.P. ("Operating Partnership"), of which the Issuer is the general partner. Profits interest units may initially not have full parity with common limited partnership units of Operating Partnership ("Common Units") with respect to liquidating distributions; however upon the occurrence of specified events, profits interest units may achieve full parity with Common Units for all purposes. Vested profits interest units that have achieved full parity with Common Units may be converted into an equal number of Common Units on a 1-for-1 basis at any time. Common Units are redeemable for cash based on the FMV of an equivalent number of shares of common stock of the Issuer, or, at the election of the Issuer, for an equal number of shares of the Issuer's common stock, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, issuance of stock rights, specified extraordinary distributions or similar events.

Common Units financial
"profits interest units may achieve full parity with Common Units for all purposes."
Common units are the basic ownership stakes in a company, limited partnership, or trust that function like common stock: they give holders a claim on profits and often voting rights. Think of them as the ordinary seats at a table—the most directly affected by the business’s success or failure, so they typically offer higher upside but carry greater risk than preferred claims or creditors, which matters to investors evaluating potential return and safety.
liquidating distributions financial
"may initially not have full parity with Common Units with respect to liquidating distributions;"
Payments made to shareholders from a company’s remaining cash or asset sale proceeds when the business is being wound up or reorganized. Like splitting the money after selling a shared house, these distributions return investors’ capital (often after creditors are paid) rather than representing regular profit payouts, so they matter because they determine how much investors recover and can affect tax treatment and final investment value.
fair market value financial
"Common Units are redeemable for cash based on the FMV of an equivalent number of shares of common stock"
The price a willing buyer and a willing seller would agree on for an asset or security when neither is under pressure and both have access to the same information. Think of it as the market’s neutral estimate of what something is worth, like the price two neighbors would settle on for a car after comparing similar listings. Investors care because fair market value guides buying and selling decisions, tax reporting, portfolio valuation, and how accurately company assets are reflected in financial statements.
