Monitor upcoming quarterly filings for leverage ratios and use of proceeds toward acquisitions or development. The fixed-rate Swiss franc issuance locks in low-cost long-term financing, but the absence of earnings or guidance data means no immediate catalyst for common equity.

Executive Summary
Digital Realty's indirect finance subsidiary, Digital Constellation B.V., issued CHF 510 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured guaranteed notes across three tranches (2029, 2032, 2036) with fixed coupons ranging from 1.6803% to 2.4150%. Net proceeds of CHF 508.39 million will be used to repay revolving credit facility borrowings, fund acquisitions, development, and general corporate purposes, with an allocation to green projects under the company's Green Bond Framework. This is a routine debt capital markets transaction that extends the company's maturity profile at attractive fixed rates, with no earnings or operational data provided.
Key Facts
- Issued CHF 225 million of 1.6803% notes due 2029, CHF 185 million of 2.0600% notes due 2032, and CHF 100 million of 2.4150% notes due 2036.
- Net proceeds of CHF 508.39 million after deducting managers' commissions and offering expenses.
- Notes are senior unsecured obligations of Digital Constellation B.V., fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Digital Realty Trust, Inc., Digital Realty Trust, L.P., and Digital Intrepid Holding B.V.
- Proceeds to temporarily repay borrowings under global revolving credit facilities, fund acquisitions, development, working capital, and potentially repay other debt or redeem equity/debt securities.
- Interest payable annually in arrears; first payment on October 8, 2027 for 2029 notes and October 6, 2027 for 2032 and 2036 notes.
- Notes are not redeemable at issuer's option except in the three months prior to maturity or upon certain tax events, or if 75%+ of a series has been redeemed/purchased and cancelled.
- Covenants include limitations on total outstanding debt (≤60% of Total Assets), secured debt (≤40% of Total Assets), and a minimum unencumbered assets ratio of 150% of unsecured debt.
- Consolidated EBITDA to Interest Expense ratio must be at least 1.50:1.00 on a pro forma basis for incurrence of additional indebtedness.
Financial Impact
CHF 510 million aggregate principal amount of new senior unsecured debt issued; net proceeds CHF 508.39 million. Coupon rates: 1.6803% (2029), 2.0600% (2032), 2.4150% (2036).
Risk Factors
- Swiss franc-denominated debt introduces currency exposure; proceeds used for USD-denominated purposes may create FX mismatch.
- Leverage may increase if proceeds are deployed into acquisitions before EBITDA contribution materializes.
- No change-of-control protection for noteholders; a highly leveraged transaction could adversely affect credit quality.
