Summary
This 8-K filing from Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (DLR) on June 19, 2019, details the results of its tender offer for outstanding 3.400% Notes due 2020 and 5.250% Notes due 2021. The company successfully repurchased a significant portion of these notes, with over 89% of the 2020 notes and 70% of the 2021 notes being tendered and accepted for purchase. The financing for this tender offer was primarily sourced from the proceeds of a recent issuance of new 3.600% Notes due 2029. Furthermore, Digital Realty announced its intention to redeem any remaining outstanding notes of both series on July 17, 2019. This action will effectively retire all of the 2020 and 2021 notes. The company plans to fund these redemptions using proceeds from the 2029 notes, supplemented by its revolving credit facility or cash on hand. These actions indicate a proactive debt management strategy aimed at optimizing the company's debt structure.
