SAN FRANCISCO, June 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (the "Company") (NYSE: DLR) today announced that it has completed an amendment to its Revolving Credit Facility.  The Revolving Credit Facility Amendment No. 3 provides the Company with the ability to add eligible unencumbered international assets to the borrowing base in support of its outstanding unsecured debt.  International assets include properties located in the following countries:  Canada, England, Ireland, Wales, France, Spain, the Netherlands, Singapore and Australia.  Under the new amendment (subject to execution of an equivalent amendment to the Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement dated June 24, 2008, which the Company refers to as the Prudential shelf facility, which amendment is currently in process but the Company may not obtain), international assets may comprise up to 25% of the borrowing base, with assets located in Spain and Singapore limited to up to 10% of the borrowing base.  Digital Realty Trust's borrowing base currently totals approximately $2.9 billion of unencumbered assets. 

"The inclusion of international assets to the borrowing base provides Digital Realty Trust's unsecured lenders with the additional benefit of geographic and tenant concentration diversification," commented A. William Stein, CFO and Chief Investment Officer for Digital Realty Trust.  "It also allows the Company to pursue an unsecured financing strategy in Europe and Asia similar to our financing strategy in the United States."
