Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
It is expected that Prologis Euro Finance LLC (the “Company”) will close the issuance and sale of the Notes (defined below) on February 8, 2022. The information under Item 8.01 is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On January 31, 2022, the Company priced an offering of €300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its Floating Rate Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”), €500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 1.000% Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”) and €750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 1.500% Notes due 2034 (the “2034 Notes” and, together with the 2024 Notes and the 2029 Notes, the “Notes”). In connection with the offering, the Company and Prologis, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”) entered into an Underwriting Agreement, dated January 31, 2022 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), with Citigroup Global Markets Limited, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, ING Bank N.V., and J.P. Morgan Securities plc and the other underwriters named in Schedule A thereto (the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Company 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 August 1, 2018 (the “Base Indenture”), among the Company, the Operating Partnership and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, as supplemented by the first supplemental indenture, dated as of August 1, 2018 (the Base Indenture, as supplemented by the first supplemental indenture, the “Indenture”).
The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Notes, after the Underwriter’s discount and offering expenses, are estimated to be approximately €1.5 billion, or $1.7 billion, based on the euro/U.S. dollar rate of exchange as of January 28, 2022. The Company intends to lend or distribute the net proceeds from the 2034 Notes to the Operating Partnership who will apply the amounts received to finance or refinance, in whole or in part, the Eligible Green Project Portfolio (as defined in the prospectus supplement dated January 31, 2022). Pending such allocation of the net proceeds to the Eligible Green Project Portfolio, the Operating Partnership or one of its subsidiaries may use the amounts received from the 2034 Notes to repay indebtedness or for other cash management activities. The Company intends to use a portion of the net proceeds from the 2024 Notes and the 2029 Notes to refinance its €150 million floating rate notes due February 2022 and to lend or distribute the remaining net proceeds to Operating Partnership or one of its other subsidiaries. Operating Partnership expects to use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including to repay, repurchase or tender for other indebtedness.
The per annum interest rate on the 2024 Notes will be reset quarterly based on the three-month EURIBOR plus 20 basis points and will mature on February 8, 2024. The 2029 Notes will bear interest at a rate of 1.000% per annum and mature on February 8, 2029. The 2034 Notes will bear interest at a rate of 1.500% per annum and mature on February 8, 2034. The Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Operating Partnership.
The 2024 Notes will be redeemable in whole, at any time, or in part, from time to time, on or after January 8, 2024 at the Company’s option, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2024 Notes to be redeemed.
The 2029 Notes and the 2034 Notes will be redeemable in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Company, 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 November 8, 2028, in the case of the 2029 Notes, or November 8, 2033, in the case of the 2034 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 an annual basis at the applicable Comparable Government Rate Bond plus 20 basis points in the case of the 2029 Notes and 25 basis points in the case of the 2034 Notes. In addition, on or after the Applicable Par Call Date, such series of Notes will be redeemable in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the Company’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 Company and the Operating Partnership filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) relating to the public offering from time to time of securities of the Company and the Operating Partnership pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In connection with filing with the SEC a definitive prospectus supplement, dated January 31, 2022, and base prospectus, dated March 24, 2020, relating to the public offering of the Notes and corresponding guarantees, the Company and the Operating Partnership are filing the Underwriting Agreement, the form of the Notes and certain other exhibits with this Current Report on Form 8-K as exhibits 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.
