Digital Realty Trust, L.P. Announces Proposed Exchangeable Senior Notes Offering

Published

on

AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: DLR), (“Digital Realty”), the largest global provider of cloud- and carrier-neutral data center, colocation, and interconnection solutions, today announced that its subsidiary, Digital Realty Trust, L.P. (“Digital Realty L.P.”), intends to offer, subject to market and other conditions, $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of exchangeable senior notes due 2029 (the “notes”) in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Digital Realty will fully and unconditionally guarantee the notes on a senior, unsecured basis. Digital Realty L.P. also expects to grant the initial purchasers of the notes an option to purchase, for settlement within a period of 13 days from, and including, the date the notes are first issued, up to an additional $150,000,000 principal amount of notes.

The notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of Digital Realty L.P., will accrue interest payable semi-annually in arrears and will mature on November 15, 2029, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or exchanged. Noteholders will have the right to exchange their notes in certain circumstances and during specified periods. Digital Realty L.P. will settle exchanges in cash and, if applicable, shares of Digital Realty’s common stock.

The notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations), for cash at Digital Realty L.P.’s option at any time, and from time to time, on or after November 22, 2027 and on or before the 40th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, but only if the last reported sale price per share of Digital Realty’s common stock exceeds 130% of the exchange price for a specified period of time and certain other conditions are satisfied. The redemption price will be equal to the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.

If certain corporate events that constitute a “fundamental change” occur, then, subject to a limited exception, noteholders may require Digital Realty L.P. to repurchase their notes for cash. The repurchase price will be equal to the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable repurchase date.

The notes will be entitled to the benefits of a registration rights agreement pursuant to which Digital Realty will agree to register, under the Securities Act, the resale of the shares of Digital Realty’s common stock, if any, issuable upon exchange of the notes within specified time periods and subject to certain limitations.

The interest rate, initial exchange rate and other terms of the notes will be determined at the pricing of the offering.

Digital Realty L.P. intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to temporarily repay borrowings outstanding under its global revolving credit facilities, acquire additional properties or businesses, fund development opportunities, and to provide for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including potentially for the repayment of other debt or the repurchase, redemption, or retirement of outstanding debt securities, or a combination of the foregoing.

The offer and sale of the notes, the guarantee and any shares of Digital Realty’s common stock issuable upon exchange of the notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any other securities laws, and the notes and any such shares cannot be offered or sold except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws. Although Digital Realty L.P. and Digital Realty intend to enter into a registration rights agreement pursuant to which Digital Realty will agree to register, under the Securities Act, the resale of the shares of Digital Realty’s common stock, if any, issuable upon exchange of the notes, the registration rights agreement will contain significant limitations, and a resale registration statement may not be available at the time investors wish to resell the shares of Digital Realty’s common stock, if any, issuable upon exchange of their notes. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, the notes or any shares of Digital Realty’s common stock issuable upon exchange of the notes, nor will there be any sale of the notes or any such shares, in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, sale or solicitation would be unlawful.

Specified Technologies Inc. Unveils Firestop Clash Management and Locator Updates

Published

on

By

SOMERVILLE, N.J., Nov. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Specified Technologies Inc. has announced their latest Firestop Clash Management (FCM) and Firestop Locator (FSL) releases. FCM automates the process of locating and assigning firestop solutions to conditions within Autodesk® Revit®, enabling firestop novices to find firestop solutions like a firestop expert. In this latest release, STI has further expanded the capabilities of FCM by integrating it with their firestop documentation and compliance tool, Firestop Locator (FSL). FSL enables contractors and facilities’ teams to document the status, location, and products used for any and all fire life safety services across a building.

In the latest update for FSL, teams can now create custom items to track any service on their project beyond the base six (Penetration, Joint, Extinguisher, Door, Damper, and Barrier). Teams can also modify the base six items to include project specific inspection and maintenance requirements and any other details that they would like to be tracked.

With this new integration, decisions made during the design phase of a building using FCM are seamlessly passed into FSL during the construction phase, giving implementation teams a jump start on work to be done. This integration also improves data integrity and eliminates the guesswork in the field of determining what firestop systems and products are to be used where.

“We’re proud of the latest releases of FCM and FSL and look forward to continuing to support the fire life safety community,” says Justin Pine, Sr. Manager of Software & Services.

Specified Technologies Inc. promotes life and building safety by developing innovative fire protection systems and accompanying digital tools that help stop the spread of fire, smoke, and hot gases. Our SpecSeal® and EZ Path® product lines are engineered for easy installation and deliver powerful performance, often resulting in lower installed costs. Since firestopping is our only business, we concentrate all our resources on providing the highest quality, fully tested, innovative firestopping solutions.
