Summary
This filing is an amendment to a previous Form 8-K filed by Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (DLR) concerning the appointment of Robert H. Zerbst as an independent director. The original filing on November 2, 2009, announced his appointment to the Board of Directors but did not specify committee assignments. This amendment clarifies that effective February 23, 2010, Mr. Zerbst has been appointed to both the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. These committee appointments are significant as they involve Mr. Zerbst, an independent director, in key oversight functions related to executive compensation and corporate governance.
