(NYSE: PLD) today announced early results from the offers to exchange outstanding notes (the “Duke Realty Notes”) of the nine series described in the table below issued by Duke Realty Limited Partnership (“Duke Realty OP”) for notes in nine corresponding series to be issued by Prologis, L.P. (“Prologis OP,” and such notes the “Prologis Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $3.375 billion. As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 14, 2022 (the “Early Expiration Date”) and as indicated in the table below, approximately $3.22 billion aggregate principal amount of the Duke Realty Notes had been validly tendered for exchange (and not validly withdrawn), and the requisite consents applicable to each series of Duke Realty Notes to adopt the Proposed Amendments (as defined below) have been received (such consents may not be revoked after the Early Expiration Date by the terms and conditions of the exchange offers and consent solicitations as described in the corresponding prospectus).

The exchange offers and the solicitation of consents will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 4, 2022 (the “Final Expiration Date”). Prologis OP is hereby amending the terms of the Exchange Offer so that, for each $1,000 principal amount of Duke Realty Notes validly tendered for exchange (and not validly withdrawn) after the Early Expiration Date but prior to the Final Expiration Date, eligible holders of Duke Realty Notes will now also be eligible to receive $1,000 principal amount of Prologis OP Notes plus $1 in cash, which includes the Early Participation Premium (the “Total Consideration”). To be eligible to receive the Total Consideration, eligible holders must validly tender (and not validly withdraw) their Duke Realty Notes at or prior to the Final Expiration Date. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event will any holder of the Duke Realty Notes receive more than $1,000 principal amount of Prologis OP Notes plus $1 in cash for each $1,000 principal amount of Duke Realty Notes validly tendered and accepted for exchange. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this press release shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Prospectus.

 

The exchange offers and the solicitation of consents are being made under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the prospectus contained in the registration statement on Form S-4 filed by Prologis OP with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 31, 2022, that was declared effective on September 14, 2022 (as amended from time to time, the “Prospectus”), and a related letter of transmittal and consent that contains a more complete description of the terms and conditions of the exchange offers and the solicitation of consents.

 

A holder who validly tenders its Duke Realty Notes for exchange will be deemed to have delivered its consent to the applicable Proposed Amendments. Tenders of Duke Realty Notes may be withdrawn any time prior to the Final Expiration Date. Consents to the Proposed Amendments delivered prior to the Early Expiration Date may no longer be revoked as the Early Expiration Date has passed. Consents to the Proposed Amendments delivered after the Early Expiration Date and before the Final Expiration Date may be revoked any time prior to the Final Expiration Date. Tenders of Duke Realty Notes may not be validly withdrawn after the Final Expiration Date, unless Prologis OP otherwise is required by law to permit withdrawal.

 

A holder who does not validly tender its Duke Realty Notes for exchange, or whose notes are not accepted for exchange, will remain a holder of such Duke Realty Notes. If the Proposed Amendments to the applicable Duke Realty Indenture are adopted, all such Duke Realty Notes will be governed by the applicable Duke Realty Indenture as amended by the Proposed Amendments, which will have less restrictive terms and afford reduced protections to the holders of such securities compared to those currently in the Duke Realty Indentures.

 

Prologis OP’s obligations to complete the exchange offers and the solicitation of consents are conditioned upon, among other things, completion of the merger with DRE and receipt of valid consents sufficient to effect the Proposed Amendments. The merger with DRE is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

The statements in this document that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the industry and markets in which we operate as well as management’s beliefs and assumptions. Such statements involve uncertainties that could significantly impact our financial results. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “may” and “will” including variations of such words and similar expressions, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future — including statements relating to rent and occupancy growth, development activity, contribution and disposition activity, general conditions in the geographic areas where we operate, our debt, capital structure and financial position, our ability to form new co-investment ventures and the availability of capital in existing or new co-investment ventures — are forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Although we believe the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be attained and, therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that may affect outcomes and results include, but are not limited to: (i) national, international, regional and local economic and political climates; (ii) changes in global financial markets, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates; (iii) increased or unanticipated competition for our properties; (iv) risks associated with acquisitions, dispositions and development of properties; (v) maintenance of real estate investment trust status, tax structuring and changes in income tax laws and rates; (vi) availability of financing and capital, the levels of debt that we maintain and our credit ratings; (vii) risks related to our investments in our co- investment ventures, including our ability to establish new co-investment ventures; (viii) risks of doing business internationally, including currency risks; (ix) environmental uncertainties, including risks of natural disasters; (x) risks related to the current coronavirus pandemic; and (x) those additional factors discussed in reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by us under the heading “Risk Factors.” We undertake no duty to update any forward-looking statements appearing in this document except as may be required by law.
