 Exhibit 4.1 

EXECUTION VERSION 
 SHARE
PURCHASE AGREEMENT 
 This Share Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made this 11th day of July, 2014, by and
among Digital Realty Trust, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), Digital Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and Davis Real Estate Fund, a Maryland regulated
investment company (the “Purchaser”). 
 RECITALS 

WHEREAS, the Purchaser held $4,815,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Operating Partnership’s 5.50% Exchangeable Senior Debentures
due 2029 (the “Notes”); 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of April 20, 2009, among the Operating
Partnership, the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee, the Purchaser was entitled to exchange the Notes for shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) on the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture (the “Exchange Rights”); 
 WHEREAS, the Purchaser
inadvertently failed to exercise its Exchange Rights in a timely manner, and as a result, the Notes were redeemed by the Operating Partnership (the “Redemption”); 

WHEREAS, in recognition of such omission and other factors, the Purchaser has requested, and the Operating Partnership has agreed, that the
Operating Partnership will sell the Shares (as defined below) to the Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Agreement in exchange for the consideration that the Purchaser received in the Redemption, effectively putting the Purchaser in the same
place as if the Purchaser had exchanged the Notes for the Shares pursuant to the Purchaser’s Exchange Rights (provided, however, that the Shares shall not be issued and outstanding until after the Closing Date (as defined below), including for
purposes of receiving dividends on the Shares). 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, and
for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: 
 1. Purchase and Sale of the
Shares. 
 1.1 Sale of Shares. At the Closing (as defined below), the Operating Partnership shall deliver to the Purchaser, and
Purchaser shall purchase from the Operating Partnership 124,169 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Shares”) at a purchase price of $4,817,192.93 (the “Purchase Price”). 

1.2 Closing. The closing of the transaction contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) shall take place at 7:00 a.m., Pacific
time, on July 11, 2014, at the offices of Latham & Watkins LLP, 355 S. Grand Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90071, or at such other time and place as mutually agreed upon by the parties. The date and time of the closing are referred to herein
as the “Closing Date.” 






 1.3 Closing Deliverables. 

(a) At the Closing, the Purchaser shall deliver the Purchase Price to the Operating Partnership by wire transfer in immediately available
funds pursuant to the wire transfer instructions set forth on Schedule A hereto. 
 (b) At the Closing, the Operating Partnership
shall deliver the Shares in the name of the Purchaser, or in such nominee name(s) as designated by the Purchaser. 
 2. Representations and Warranties of
the Purchaser. The Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company, as of the Closing Date, as follows: 
 2.1 Existence and
Authority Relative to Agreement. The Purchaser is a regulated investment company duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Maryland. The Purchaser has all necessary power and authority to execute and deliver this
Agreement and each other agreement, document or instrument to be executed in connection herewith and to perform the obligations to be performed by it hereunder and thereunder. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the
Purchaser pursuant hereto have been duly authorized by all necessary action. This Agreement and each other instrument or document to be executed in connection herewith have been duly and validly executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer of
the Purchaser. This Agreement and each other instrument or document to be executed in connection herewith shall, upon the execution and delivery thereof by the Purchaser, constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Purchaser
enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with the respective terms thereof, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally and general equitable principles. 
 2.2 No Conflicts. Neither the execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby nor compliance by the Purchaser with any provisions hereof, will (i) violate (with or without the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both), or
conflict with, or result in any violation of or default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement, limited liability company agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which
the Purchaser is a party or by which the Purchaser is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Purchaser is subject, except for such conflicts, breaches or violations which would not, singly or in the aggregate, result in a material
adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or business of the Purchaser, (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the charter, by-laws, certificate of limited partnership, partnership agreement or
other organizational documents of the Purchaser, as the case may be, or (iii) result in any violation of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Purchaser, except
where such noncompliance or violation of any such statute, order, rule or regulation would not, singly or in the aggregate, result in a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or business of the
Purchaser. 

  
 2 







 2.3 No Consents Required. No application, notice, order, registration, qualification,
waiver, consent, approval or other action (collectively, “Consent”) is required to be filed, given, obtained or taken by the Purchaser by virtue of the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby, which has not already been obtained.

employed any broker or finder who will seek compensation from the Company or the Operating Partnership, and the Purchaser has not otherwise entered into any arrangement regarding the payment of any brokerage fees, commissions or finder’s fees

2.5 Ownership Limit. The issuance of the Shares to the Purchaser, together with any other shares of Common Stock or other capital stock
of the Company held by the Purchaser, shall not cause the Purchaser, and, to the Purchaser’s knowledge, any other affiliated Person (as defined in the Company’s Articles of Amendment and Restatement (the “Articles”)), to
own shares of capital stock of the Company in violation of the Company’s ownership limits as set forth in Section 6.2.1 of Article VI of the Company’s Articles. The Purchaser acknowledges that the issuance of the Shares pursuant to
this Agreement is subject to the provisions and remedies in the Company’s Articles, and the application of any such remedies shall not be a breach of this Agreement by the Company.

Section 3.7 hereof), including (i) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio; and (ii) any seminar or meeting whose
attendees were invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.

contract, understanding, agreement or arrangement with any person or entity to sell, transfer or grant a participation to such person or entity or any other person or entity, with respect to any or all of the Shares it will receive in accordance

“plan assets”, as defined in Department of Labor Regulation Section 2510.3-101 (29 C.F.R. 2510.3-101), of any “employee benefit plan,” subject to Title I of ERISA or an individual retirement account or plan which is subject
to Section 4975 of the Code (collectively, a “Benefit Plan”) or of any account or entity whose underlying assets constitute “plan assets” of a Benefit Plan by reason of the Benefit Plan’s investment in the
account or entity. The Purchaser is not an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

 SECTION II.  REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES 
 The Purchaser hereby warrants and represents to the Company and the Operating Partnership, that each of the
following statements is true and correct as of the date hereof and shall be true and correct as of the Closing Date: 
 A. The Purchaser is
acquiring the Shares solely for its own account, as principal and not as a nominee or agent for any other person, for investment and not with a view toward resale or distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”). The Purchaser agrees and acknowledges that the issuance of the Shares to it will not be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act, based upon an exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act and it will not, directly or indirectly, offer, transfer, sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of (hereinafter, “Transfer”) any of the Shares unless such Transfer
complies with the Agreement and either (i) the Transfer is pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and qualification or other compliance under applicable blue sky or state securities laws, or (ii) if
requested by the Company, counsel for the Purchaser (which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company) shall have furnished the Company with an opinion, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, to the effect that no
such registration is required because of the availability of an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and qualification or other compliance under applicable blue sky or state securities laws. 

  
 1 







 B. The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Shares. 
 C. The Purchaser understands that the Shares have not been
registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state and, as a result thereof, are subject to substantial restrictions on transfer. 

D. The terms of the sale of Shares were individually negotiated between the Company and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and the
Purchaser, on the other. 
 E. The Purchaser hereby represents that it has no intention to dissolve and that it presently engages in
activities other than those related to, and holds assets other than the Shares. 
 F. The Purchaser does not have any contract, undertaking,
agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participation to any third person with respect to any of the Shares. 

G. The Purchaser has the ability to bear the economic risks of the Shares and is able to afford the complete loss of such investment. 

H. The Purchaser has had an opportunity to ask questions regarding the Shares and the business of the Company and the Operating Partnership,
and has acquired sufficient information about the Company and the Operating Partnership to reach an informed decision to acquire the Shares. 

I. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Shares are subject to certain limitations on ownership, transfer or redemption set forth in the
Company’s charter. 
 J. There has been made available to the Purchaser and its advisors the opportunity to ask questions of, and
receive answers from the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the investment in the Shares, and to obtain the documents publicly filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Company and any additional information, to the extent
that the Company possesses such information, or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense, necessary to verify the accuracy of the information given to it, or to otherwise make an informed investment decision, and that the Purchaser has
had an opportunity to consult with counsel and other advisers about the investment in the Shares, and that all material documents, records and books pertaining to such investment have, on request, been made available to the Purchaser and its
advisors. 
 K. The Shares shall bear a legend substantially to the effect of the following: 

THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND
ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE. BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF, THE HOLDER AGREES (1) THAT IT WILL NOT RESELL OR 

  
 2 







 
OTHERWISE TRANSFER THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY, EXCEPT (A) TO THE ISSUER OR A SUBSIDIARY OF THE ISSUER; (B) UNDER A REGISTRATION STATEMENT THAT HAS BEEN DECLARED EFFECTIVE UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT; (C) TO A PERSON THE SELLER REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A ADOPTED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) THAT IS PURCHASING FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF ANOTHER QUALIFIED
INSTITUTIONAL BUYER AND TO WHOM NOTICE IS GIVEN THAT THE TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN RELIANCE ON RULE 144A, ALL IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144A (IF AVAILABLE); OR (D) UNDER ANY OTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE
SECURITIES ACT; AND (2) THAT IT WILL, PRIOR TO ANY TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY, FURNISH TO THE TRANSFER AGENT AND THE ISSUER SUCH CERTIFICATIONS, LEGAL OPINIONS OR OTHER INFORMATION AS MAY BE REQUIRED TO CONFIRM THAT SUCH TRANSFER IS BEING MADE
PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT. 
 L. The
Purchaser has relied solely on its own investigations in making a decision to purchase the Shares, and has received no representation or warranty from the Company or the Operating Partnership, or any of their affiliates, employees or agents, other
