Introductory Note.
This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed in connection with the consummation on October 3, 2022 (the “Closing Date”) of the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 11, 2022 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Prologis, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Prologis”), Prologis, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Prologis OP”), Compton Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Prologis (“Prologis Merger Sub”), Compton Merger Sub OP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Prologis OP (“Prologis OP Merger Sub” and, together with Prologis, Prologis OP and Prologis Merger Sub, the “Prologis Parties”), Duke Realty Corporation, an Indiana corporation (“DRE”), and Duke Realty Limited Partnership, an Indiana limited partnership (“DRE OP” and, together with DRE, the “DRE Parties”).
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on October 3, 2022: (a) DRE merged with and into Prologis Merger Sub (the “DRE Merger”), with Prologis Merger Sub surviving the merger and remaining a wholly owned subsidiary of Prologis (the “Surviving Entity”), (b) thereafter, Prologis and the Surviving Entity caused all of the outstanding equity interests of the Surviving Entity to be contributed to Prologis OP in exchange for the issuance by Prologis OP of partnership interests in Prologis OP to Prologis and/or its subsidiaries as directed by Prologis, and (c) thereafter, Prologis OP Merger Sub merged with and into DRE OP, with DRE OP surviving the merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Prologis OP (the “Partnership Merger” and, together with the DRE Merger, the “Mergers”).
Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, on October 3, 2022, at the effective time of the DRE Merger (the “DRE Merger Effective Time”), each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of DRE (“DRE Common Stock”) issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the DRE Merger Effective Time (other than shares of DRE Common Stock owned by any of the DRE Parties or any of their respective wholly owned subsidiaries and shares of DRE Common Stock owned by any of the Prologis Parties or any of their respective wholly owned subsidiaries) was automatically converted into the right to receive 0.475 (the “Exchange Ratio”) of a validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Prologis (“Prologis Common Stock”), together with cash in lieu of fractional shares, without interest, but subject to any withholding required under applicable law, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, on October 3, 2022, at the effective time of the Partnership Merger (the “Partnership Merger Effective Time”), (a) the general partner interests in DRE OP as of immediately prior to the Partnership Merger Effective Time remained general partnership interests in DRE OP, (b) each common partnership interest of DRE OP (“DRE Common OP Units”) that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Partnership Merger Effective Time (other than any DRE Common OP Units as described in clauses (c) and (d) below) were automatically converted into new validly issued common limited partnership interests in Prologis OP in an amount equal to the Exchange Ratio and each holder of DRE Common OP Units was admitted as a limited partner of Prologis OP in accordance with the terms of Prologis OP’s partnership agreement, (c) each DRE Common OP Unit owned by the Surviving Entity as of immediately prior to the Partnership Merger Effective Time remained outstanding at and following the Partnership Merger Effective Time and (d) each DRE Common OP Unit owned by any wholly owned subsidiary of the Surviving Entity or of DRE OP, in each case, as of immediately prior to the Partnership Merger Effective Time, was canceled and ceased to exist, and no consideration was delivered in exchange therefor.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the DRE Merger Effective Time, each DRE equity award and deferred share account vested in full (to the extent it was not previously vested) and was canceled in exchange for a payment of the Exchange Ratio of Prologis Common Stock with respect to each underlying share of DRE Common Stock (or, in the case of awards that were subject to performance-based vesting conditions, an amount of cash calculated in accordance with the formula set forth in the Merger Agreement), less applicable taxes and withholdings. In addition, at the Partnership Merger Effective Time, each LTIP Unit in DRE OP vested in full (to the extent it was not previously vested) and was converted into common units of Prologis OP in accordance with the formula set forth in the Merger Agreement (or, in the case of certain performance-based awards of LTIP Units in DRE OP, an amount of cash calculated in accordance with the formula set forth in the Merger Agreement), less applicable taxes and withholdings.
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Merger Agreement and the related Letter Agreement, dated as of September 16, 2022, by and among the Prologis Parties and the DRE Parties, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 2.1 and 2.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
