Item 5. OTHER INFORMATION.

During the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023, no director or officer of the Company adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or a “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” (in each case, as defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K).

​

On November 6, 2023, the Board of Directors (“Board”) determined to freeze the ability of eligible individuals to further defer compensation under the Digital Realty Deferred Compensation Plan (the “DCP”), such that, effective as of January 1, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), no further deferrals of compensation earned in respect of periods commencing on or after the Effective Date may be made under the DCP (the “Deferral Freeze”). Except with respect to the Deferral Freeze, all other terms of the DCP remain in full force and effect. Additionally, in connection with the Deferral Freeze, the Board delegated authority to the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) to remove the Deferral Freeze and allow future deferrals under the DCP at such time (if any) as the Compensation Committee deems appropriate.
