Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On August 23, 2021, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) approved an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the employment agreement, dated July 2, 2018, between the Company, DLR LLC and A. William Stein, our Chief Executive Officer (the “Employment Agreement”). The Company and DLR LLC (together, the “Employer”) entered into the Amendment on August 24, 2021 following approval by the Committee.
Pursuant to the Amendment, subject to earlier termination as provided in the Employment Agreement, the term of Mr. Stein’s employment with the Company under the Employment Agreement will automatically be extended each year for successive one-year periods until either the Employer or Mr. Stein provides 60 days written notice of non-extension prior to the expiration of the then-current term. The Amendment also amends the Employment Agreement to reflect that Mr. Stein’s principal place of employment is the Company’s office in Austin, Texas and to reflect Mr. Stein’s current target and maximum annual bonus, which are equal to 200% and 400%, respectively, of his base salary for such year.
The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
