Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
Prologis, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”) expects that it will close the issuance and sale of the Notes (defined below) on August 20, 2020. The information under Item 8.01 is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On August 6, 2020, the Operating Partnership priced an offering of $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 1.250% Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Notes”) and $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 2.125% Notes due 2050 (the “2050 Notes” and, together with the 2030 Notes, the “Notes”). In connection with the offering, the Operating Partnership entered into an Underwriting Agreement, dated August 6, 2020 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), with BofA Securities, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and the other underwriters named in Schedule A thereto (the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Operating Partnership agreed to sell and the Underwriters agreed to purchase the Notes, subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth therein. A copy of the Underwriting Agreement has been filed as an exhibit to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Notes are being issued under an indenture, dated as of June 8, 2011 (the “Base Indenture”), among the Prologis, Inc. (“Parent”), the Operating Partnership and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, as supplemented by the first supplemental indenture, dated as of June 8, 2011, the second supplemental indenture, dated as of June 8, 2011, the third supplemental indenture, dated as of June 8, 2011, the fourth supplemental indenture, dated as of June 8, 2011, the fifth supplemental indenture, dated as of August 15, 2013, the sixth supplemental indenture, dated as of December 3, 2013, the seventh supplemental indenture, dated as of February 20, 2014, and the eighth supplemental indenture, dated as of June 7, 2017 (the Base Indenture, as supplemented by the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth supplemental indentures, the “Indenture”).
The net proceeds to the Operating Partnership from the sale of the Notes, after the Underwriter’s discount and offering expenses, are estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion. The Operating Partnership intends to apply the amounts received from the offering of the 2030 Notes to finance or refinance, in whole or in part, the Eligible Green Project Portfolio (as defined in the prospectus supplement dated August 6, 2020). Pending such allocation of the net proceeds to the Eligible Green Project Portfolio, the Operating Partnership intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the 2030 Notes for general corporate purposes, including to repay, repurchase or tender for indebtedness. The Operating Partnership intends to apply all or a portion of the net proceeds from the offering of the 2050 Notes to redeem its 4.250% notes due 2023. The Operating Partnership may also use a portion of the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including to repay, repurchase or tender for other indebtedness. In the short term, the Operating Partnership may also use the amounts received from the issuance of each series of notes to repay borrowings under its term loans or revolving credit facilities.
The 2030 Notes will bear interest at a rate of 1.250% per annum and mature on October 15, 2030. The 2050 Notes will bear interest at a rate of 2.125% per annum and mature on October 15, 2050.
The Notes will be redeemable in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Operating Partnership, at a redemption price equal to the greater of: (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed that would be due if such Notes matured on July 15, 2030, in the case of the 2030 Notes and April 15, 2050, in the case of the 2050 Notes (each, the “Applicable Par Call Date” as to the applicable series of Notes) (in each case exclusive of interest accrued to the redemption date) discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis at the then current Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points, in the case of the 2030 Notes, or 15 basis points, in the case of the 2050 Notes. In addition, on or after the Applicable Par Call Date, such applicable series of Notes will be redeemable in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the Operating Partnership’s option, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed. In each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be paid on the Notes being redeemed to, but excluding, the redemption date.
The Indenture governing the Notes restricts, among other things, the Operating Partnership’s and its subsidiaries ability to incur additional indebtedness and to merge or consolidate with any other person or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of substantially all of its assets.
The Notes are being issued pursuant to the Registration Statement (File No. 333- 237366) that the Operating Partnership and Parent filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) relating to the public offering from time to time of securities of the Operating Partnership and Parent pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In connection with filing with the SEC a definitive prospectus supplement, dated August 6, 2020, and base prospectus, dated March 24, 2020, relating to the public offering of the Notes, the Operating Partnership is filing the Underwriting Agreement, the form of the Notes and certain other exhibits with this Current Report of Form 8-K as an exhibit to such Registration Statement. See “Item 9.01 – Financial Statements and Exhibits.”
This Current Report does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
