ProLogis Amends Its Global Senior Credit Agreement

DENVER, July 6, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX News Network/ -- ProLogis (NYSE: PLD), a leading global provider of distribution facilities, announced today that it has entered into a fourth amendment, effective on June 30, 2010, to the existing Global Senior Credit Agreement dated as of October 6, 2005. The amendment changes certain of the terms of the agreement, including the following:

Reduces the aggregate amount of the current commitments to approximately $2.25 billion (subject to currency fluctuations) consistent with the commitments effective on and after October 6, 2010.
Eliminates the borrowing base covenant and replaces it with a debt yield covenant that requires us to maintain a ratio of net operating income from certain unencumbered properties to certain specified debt, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, of at least 14 percent.
Changes the leverage ratio so that it is tested as of the last day of each fiscal quarter rather than maintenance at all times.

"Reducing the total commitment on the line now to match our extended commitments right sizes the facility for the company's current business model," said William E. Sullivan, chief financial officer for ProLogis. "We also believe the terms of the fourth amendment better align our senior credit facility covenants with current market terms."
