Re:Registration Statement on
Form S-3 (File No. 333-267431)

 

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as special counsel to Prologis, Inc. (“Prologis”), a Maryland corporation, Prologis, L.P. (the “Parent Guarantor”), a Delaware limited partnership and Prologis Euro Finance, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Issuer”), in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of €750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Issuer’s 4.625% Notes due 2033 (the “Notes”) and the related guarantees thereof by the Parent Guarantor (the “Guarantees”), each as described in the prospectus relating to the Notes and the corresponding Guarantees (the “Prospectus”), as supplemented by the prospectus supplement, dated as of May 16, 2023 (the “Prospectus Supplement”), contained in Prologis’s, the Issuer’s and the Parent Guarantor’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-267431) (the “Registration Statement”). The Notes and the corresponding Guarantees will be issued under the Indenture, dated as of August 1, 2018 (the “Base Indenture”), among the Issuer and the Parent Guarantor and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “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”).

 

We have also participated in the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of the Registration Statement, relating to the debt securities and guarantees of which the Notes and Guarantees are a part. In rendering our opinions set forth below, we have examined originals or copies identified to our satisfaction of (i) the Registration Statement, including the Prospectus; (ii) the Prospectus Supplement; (iii) Prologis’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended and supplemented; (iv) Prologis’s Ninth Amended and Restated Bylaws; (v) the certificate of limited partnership of the Parent Guarantor; (vi) the Thirteenth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, as amended, of the Parent Guarantor; (vii) resolutions of Prologis’s Board of Directors and committees thereof; (viii) the consents of the trustee of the Issuer; (ix) the Indenture; and (x) the form of the Notes and corresponding Guarantees. In addition, we have examined and relied upon other documents, certificates, corporate records, opinions and instruments, obtained from the Issuer and the Parent Guarantor or other sources believed by us to be reliable, as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purpose of this opinion. In rendering this opinion, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies.

(i)             The Notes have been duly authorized and, when executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee in the manner provided for in the Indenture and delivered against payment therefore, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Issuer, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as (a) the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors or by general equitable principles and (b) the enforceability of provisions imposing liquidated damages, penalties or an increase in interest rate upon the occurrence of certain events may be limited in certain circumstances, and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture; and

 

(ii)            The Guarantees have been duly authorized and, when executed by the Parent Guarantor and when the Notes have been authenticated by the Trustee in the manner provided for in the Indenture and delivered against payment therefore, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Parent Guarantor, enforceable against the Parent Guarantor in accordance with their terms, except as (a) the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors or by general equitable principles and (b) the enforceability of provisions imposing liquidated damages, penalties or an increase in interest rate upon the occurrence of certain events may be limited in certain circumstances, and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.
