Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory
Arrangements of Certain Officers.

as an independent director to our Board of Directors to serve
until our 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until her
successor is duly elected and qualifies. Ms. Hogan Preusse will
serve on the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Hogan
Preusse and any other person to which Ms. Hogan Preusse was
selected as our director. There are no transactions in which Ms.
Hogan Preusse has an interest requiring disclosure under Item

to our 2014 Incentive Award Plan, as amended, as of the date of
election to our Board of Directors, Ms. Hogan Preusse received a
$145,000 non-employee director equity award, payable in fully
vested profits interest units of our subsidiary operating
partnership, Digital Realty Trust, L.P. Ms. Hogan Preusse is
eligible to receive an annual equity award with a value of
$145,000, payable in fully vested profits interest units or
shares of our common stock, at her election, at each Annual
Meeting of Stockholders following her election if she continues
to serve as an independent director immediately following such
meeting. Ms. Hogan Preusse will receive an annual fee of $75,000
for serving on our Board of Directors, and will also receive an
annual fee of $15,000 for serving on our Audit Committee. We
expect to enter into our standard form of indemnification
