DIGITAL REALTY TRUST, INC. Commitments Disclosure

18. Commitments and Contingencies

Construction Commitments – Our properties require periodic investments of capital for tenant-related capital

expenditures and for general capital improvements and from time to time in the normal course of our business, we

enter into various construction contracts with third parties that may obligate us to make payments. At

December 31, 2025, we had open commitments, including amounts reimbursable of approximately $110.6

million, related to construction contracts of approximately $2.6 billion.

​

Legal Proceedings – Although the Company is involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, as of December 31, 2025, the Company is not currently a party to any legal proceedings nor, to its knowledge, is any legal proceeding threatened against it that it believes would have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

As we most recently disclosed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on October 31, 2025, we cooperated with the Division of Enforcement of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in their investigation into the adequacy of our disclosures of cybersecurity risks and our related disclosure controls and procedures. By letter dated December 22, 2025, the SEC Division of Enforcement informed us that based on the information it had as of that date, it had concluded the investigation and did not intend to recommend an enforcement action by the SEC against the Company. We are not aware of any cybersecurity issue or event that caused the Staff to open this matter.

Insurance – As previously disclosed, in September 2024, an incident at one of our Singapore data centers resulted in damages to the facility. We believe this incident is substantially covered by our insurance policies, including coverage for the repair cost of the building, business interruption loss and potential third-party claims, subject to deductibles. Initial costs, including direct costs related to the incident and an estimated write-off of damage caused to existing fixed assets, totaling approximately $16 million were incurred during 2024. After factoring our expected insurance coverage and related deductible, we reported net expenses of approximately $5.0 million related to this incident for 2024.

​

As of December 31, 2025, we have received total insurance proceeds of $36.8 million which includes $15.2 million received for property damage and initial direct costs and $21.6 million received for business interruption losses.

​

We had insurance receivable balances of $14.6 million and $11.6 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 for known losses for which insurance reimbursement is probable, which is included in Other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Insurance proceeds for business interruption losses are recognized in Other income, net in the consolidated income statements as received. No gain contingencies have been recognized as our ability to realize those gains remain uncertain.
