On December 7, 2023, Alexis Black Bjorlin, a director and member of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the company, notified the company of her resignation from the Board, effective December 8, 2023. Ms. Bjorlin recently joined Nvidia, one of Digital Realty’s partners, in an executive role leading DGX Cloud. We are excited for Ms. Bjorlin to embark on her next chapter and look forward to continuing our work together. The company thanks Ms. Bjorlin for her service to the company and its stockholders.
