Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements InterXion cautions that statements in this communication that are forward-looking, and provide other than historical information, involve risks, contingencies and uncertainties that may impact actual results of operations of DLR, InterXion and the combined company. These forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements about anticipated satisfaction of closing conditions and completion of the proposed transactions contemplated by the purchase agreement between them. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in those forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that those expectations will prove to have been correct. Those statements are made by using various underlying assumptions and are subject to numerous risks, contingencies and uncertainties, including, among others: the ability of DLR and InterXion to obtain the regulatory and shareholder approvals necessary to complete the anticipated combination, on the anticipated timeline or at all; the risk that a condition to the closing of the anticipated combination may not be satisfied, on the anticipated timeline or at all or that the anticipated combination may fail to close; the outcome of any legal proceedings, regulatory proceedings or enforcement matters that may be instituted relating to the anticipated combination; the costs incurred to consummate the anticipated combination; the possibility that the expected synergies from the anticipated combination will not be realised, or will not be realised within the expected time period; difficulties related to the integration of the two companies; disruption from the anticipated combination making it more difficult to maintain relationships with customers, employees, regulators or suppliers; the diversion of management time and attention on the anticipated combination; adverse changes in the markets in which DLR and InterXion operate or credit markets; and changes in the terms, scope or timing of contracts, contract cancellations, and other modifications and actions by customers and other business counterparties of DLR and InterXion. If one or more of these risks materialize, or if underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those expected. You should not place undue reliance on forward looking statements. For a more complete discussion of these and other risk factors, please see (i) DLR’s filings with the SEC, including its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and (ii) InterXion’s filings with the SEC, including its annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2018 and subsequent reports on Form 6-K. This communication reflects the views of DLR’s and InterXion’s management as of the date hereof. Except to the extent required by applicable law, DLR and InterXion undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement. This document contains references to certain non-IFRS financial measures, such as EBITDA (Pre-IFRS16) and EBITDAR (Post-IFRS16). Such non-IFRS measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures determined calculated in accordance with IFRS. InterXion is not providing a quantitative reconciliation of the forward-looking financial measures set forth above that are not calculated in accordance with IFRS. In accordance with Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K, a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-IFRS financial measures is only required to the extent it is available without unreasonable efforts. InterXion does not currently have sufficient data to accurately estimate the variables and individual adjustments for such reconciliation, including normal variability in income taxes, share-based compensation, which is directly impacted by unpredictable fluctuations in InterXion’s share price, and other non-recurring or unusual items such as impairment losses, transaction costs and litigation gains (losses). InterXion is unable to quantify the probable significance of these items at this time. The adjustments required for any such reconciliation of the forward-looking non-IFRS financial measures cannot be accurately forecast by InterXion, and therefore the reconciliations have been omitted. Certain financial and other information presented in this document has not been audited or reviewed by our independent auditors. Certain numerical, financial data, other amounts and percentages in this document may not sum due to rounding. In addition, certain figures in this document have been rounded to the nearest whole number.

Transaction Summary Significant premium to InterXion unaffected spot closing stock price on October 9, 2019 At announcement: 20% premium based on Digital Realty spot closing stock price on October 28, 2019 Current: 12% premium based on Digital Realty spot closing stock price on February 6, 2020 Highest EBITDA multiple of any major transaction in the data centre segment, even more compelling on a tax-adjusted basis (which allows for an apples-to-apples comparison to US data centre REITs) Advantageous timing leverages InterXion’s 2.3x stock price appreciation since 2016 versus 1.5x for Digital Realty. Deal exchange ratio of 0.7067x is meaningfully higher than historical trading exchange ratios, even as those climbed Optimal form of merger consideration at a favorable relative value enables the combined company to deploy its capital toward growth and offers InterXion shareholders the opportunity to participate in a greater value creation story Post-announcement trading reflected sector concerns, not transaction concerns, as demonstrated by the recent recovery in Digital Realty, InterXion and peer group share prices A compelling valuation now, with significant upside potential for the future The global data centre business is evolving as leading global cloud and platform accounts increasingly focus on partnering with data centre operators with global scale In addition to Digital Realty, InterXion held substantive discussions with eight other parties over a five-year period, resulting in three written offers and two oral proposals Digital Realty is the best complementary fit and this transaction is the best path forward to unlock significant value for all stakeholders Creates the global footprint and enhanced scale InterXion needs to compete directly with the other leading data centre operators Enables access to revenue opportunities InterXion could not access on workable terms on a stand-alone basis The proposed transaction significantly de-risks — from both a business perspective and a financial perspective — InterXion’s future growth prospects The right time, the right partner, the right strategic move

Growth in classical colocation is shifting as enterprises: Migrate legacy applications to cloud-based information technology architectures (public, private and hybrid) Reengineer their processes and corresponding information technology architectures to handle the explosive growth of data in their businesses, attack the opportunities presented by IoT and benefit from the application of AI to their business opportunities InterXion's demand from global cloud platforms is evolving with cloud platform operators beginning to build some of their own data centres and increasingly focusing their attention on data centre operators with global reach While InterXion’s very focused customer orientation (supported by its culture) is a recognized key differentiator in why customers want to do business with it, InterXion faces increasing competition in Europe from two major players who: Offer greater global reach and scale to cloud and software platforms operators, social media and indirect channel partners (carriers, ITSPs or SIs) Have larger balance sheets and significantly more favorable access to lower cost of capital InterXion also currently lacks and is unlikely to be able to develop on its own: A viable set of assets in London (which remains a significant missed opportunity for InterXion) A meaningful position in the US where much of the cloud platform and software development originates InterXion Faces a Rapidly Evolving Market for Data Centre Capacities and Services in Its Region and Globally

While InterXion developed and exploited the right business model for the market in Europe over of the past decade, the global cloud, software and media platforms will be driving demand for data centre capacity and services on a global scale for the foreseeable future These global platforms, their enterprise customers and their technical support partners will require data centre operators that can address their global requirements at a scale that is beyond InterXion’s stand-alone capacities Combining with Digital Realty will create a company that can more effectively compete with the major market players The combined Digital Realty/InterXion will: Have a global footprint and enhanced scale Have an investment grade balance sheet with very favorable access to attractively priced capital (potential 350-375 bps savings on InterXion debt financing) Enable Digital Realty to adopt and deploy InterXion’s Communities of Interest business model and customer-focused organisational approach across its existing business Enable InterXion to offer the large-scale and long-term commitments that global platform and enterprise customers are increasingly asking InterXion to provide A Combined Digital Realty/InterXion Creates a Formidable Global Competitor in the Evolving Global Data Centre Business

Generally, when Guggenheim Securities, LLC calculates transaction multiples in the data centre segment, it assumes zero excess cash and cash equivalents since such balance sheet amounts are either (a) deemed to be operational/working capital in nature or (b) expected to be deployed to build out incremental data centre capacity (which in turn will contribute to projected revenue and free cash flow streams).

Multiples shown represent trading metrics as of October 25, 2019. Generally, when Guggenheim Securities, LLC calculates trading multiples in the data centre segment, it assumes zero excess cash and cash equivalents since such balance sheet amounts are either (a) deemed to be operational/working capital in nature or (b) expected to be deployed to build out incremental data centre capacity (which in turn will contribute to projected revenue and free cash flow streams). AEV equals enterprise value plus capitalized rent (rent capitalized at an assumed 7% cap rate). EBITDAR calculated as EBITDA plus operating rent expense. In calculating the tax-adjusted multiples for US REITs, Guggenheim Securities, LLC used an illustrative simplifying analytical assumption that there was a 25% tax burden as the result of corporate income tax.

Post-Announcement — Positive Sentiment “Digital Realty has agreed to pay what appears to be a full price for InterXion.” – MoffettNathanson, October 29, 2019 “…it is worth noting that others who have rolled data centers equity into a larger entity have witnessed meaningful appreciation over a prolonged period of time…At this point, we think the price is acceptable and expect no one to top the deal.” – SunTrust, October 30, 2019 “We do believe the strategic, operating, and financial considerations outlined in the Schedule 14D-9 also contribute to rationale for InterXion to pursue the deal at the current terms…we continue to believe the probability is low for a competing bid to emerge for InterXion.” – Citi, January 29, 2020 “We believe the proxy validates our view that Digital Realty is the most capable buyer for InterXion. Also, we note that the recent run in Digital Realty's stock price has brought InterXion's shares nearly back to the initial implied bid price. InterXion now only trades 29 bps above the deal price, from ~100 bps at YE19, which implies that the market's hope of an increased price by Digital Realty is dwindling.” – Jefferies, January 30, 2020 “Taking the information provided in the proxy into account, we still believe an overbid is unlikely.” – Cowen, January 30, 2020 After Filing of 14D-9 — Continued Positive Sentiment “We understand that a number of factors may have contributed to the timing of the transaction for both Digital Realty and InterXion, including evolution of 1) the preferences from its largest customers for fewer, larger global suppliers and 2) the competitive landscape, with EQIX adopting a broader multi-product approach in Europe with its new well-funded hyper-scale joint venture.” – Citi, November 13, 2019 Sell-Side Analysts Endorse Both Strategic Fit and Valuation “We believe the proposed merger between DLR and INXN makes a lot of sense strategically and creates a powerful combination given the complementary nature of each business. We view DLR’s global platform and ability to offer product and customer diversity a great match with InterXion’s Pan-European DC platform of highly connected and strategically located facilities.” – Stifel, October 30, 2019 “…we remain positive on the DLR acquisition of INXN, and continue to expect positive momentum…” – Raymond James, November 8, 2019 “The pending merger with Digital Realty Trust will create a stronger global data center and is compelling from a strategic standpoint.” – William Blair, November 11, 2019

Key Considerations for InterXion Shareholders Upcoming Vote at the InterXion EGM Enables the Process to Proceed and InterXion’s Shareholders to Decide About the Proposed Transaction Via the Exchange Offer February March April May InterXion EGM (February 27, 2020) Competition and Other Regulatory Filings and Approvals Completion Expected as Early as March, in Any Event by End of May Exchange Offer — Represents De Facto InterXion Shareholder Approval Mechanism Launched on January 29, 2020; Remains Open Until Competition and Other Regulatory Approvals Have Been Obtained EGM Authorizes Customary Dutch Back-End Mechanics Unlike in most traditionally structured, non-US/Dutch stock-for-stock mergers, the InterXion shareholder vote at the EGM does not by itself allow for the overall transaction to be consummated. In this case, InterXion shareholder approval of the overall transaction effectively occurs via the tendering of shares pursuant to the exchange offer InterXion shareholder vote at the EGM is required to authorize certain customary Dutch back-end restructuring transactions that will be implemented after completion of the exchange offer, thereby allowing Digital Realty to become the sole owner of all or substantially all of InterXion's business operations InterXion shareholder vote requires a 2/3 majority of the votes cast at the EGM, representing at least 50% of InterXion’s share capital Exchange Offer Is De Facto Transaction Approval Mechanism The exchange offer — not the EGM — represents the de facto InterXion shareholder approval mechanism with respect to the overall transaction As a practical matter, the exchange offer provides InterXion’s share-holders with a high degree of transaction optionality all the way up to the closing date of the exchange offer (expected shortly after competition and other regulatory approvals have been obtained and other transaction conditions have been satisfied/waived) At any time prior to the expiration of the exchange offer, InterXion’s Board may change its recommendation as a result of any inbound “Superior Proposal” (as defined by and pursuant to the terms in the Purchase Agreement) At least 80% of InterXion’s outstanding shares must be tendered in order for the overall transaction to close; however, Digital Realty may reduce the minimum tender threshold to 66 2/3%
