Item 8.01. Other Events.
On September 10, 2013, DuPont Fabros Technology, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), announced that its Board of Directors (the “Board”) and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) decided, as part of the Company’s succession planning process, to expand and strengthen the Company’s senior management team. The Company has initiated a search process to hire a President, who initially will focus on corporate strategy, acquisitions and other aspects of business development.
The Company anticipates that, if the new President meets the expectations of the Board and the senior management team, he or she is expected to eventually succeed Hossein Fateh as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. In connection with this succession, it is expected that Mr. Fateh would then become the Company’s Executive Chairman and Lammot J. du Pont, the Company’s Executive Chairman, then would become Vice-Chairman. Although the Company has initiated the search process, the timetable for the succession process has not yet been determined.
The Committee will lead the search process, with the support of the entire Board and the senior management team.

The Company also issued a press release on September 10, 2013 relating to succession planning, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
