Item 8.01. Other Events.

Digital Realty intends to explore the potential establishment of a real estate investment trust to be listed on the SGX-ST, or the Main Board of Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited. If established, the Singapore REIT would initially be comprised of a portfolio of income-producing data centers to be acquired from, and externally managed by, Digital Realty.

The establishment of the Singapore REIT and the potential listing on the SGX-ST would be subject to market conditions, requisite regulatory approvals and the execution of definitive agreements by relevant parties, among other considerations. If executed, the transaction would not be expected to have a material impact on Digital Realty's financial condition or reported results.

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 of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 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 establishment of the Singapore REIT and the potential listing on the SGX-ST; risks and uncertainties related to market conditions and satisfaction of any conditions related to the establishment of the Singapore REIT and the potential listing on the SGX-ST; 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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or 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, 2020 and other filings with the SEC. 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.
