EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (“Amendment”) is being filed as an amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 11, 2017 (the “Original Report”). The sole purpose of this Amendment is to disclose the Company’s decision as to how frequently the Company will hold an advisory stockholder vote on executive compensation. No other changes have been made to the Original Report.
Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
At the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 8, 2017, the stockholders voted on a proposal to approve, on an advisory basis, the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation. As previously reported in the Original Report, a majority of votes were cast in favor of holding this vote once every year. Accordingly, the Board of Directors has determined that the Company will hold an advisory vote on executive compensation once every year until the next required advisory vote on the frequency of the same, which will be no later than the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders in 2023.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
