The Maximum Tender Offer was made pursuant to the Offer to Purchase dated October 24, 2013 (the "Offer to Purchase") and the related Letter of Transmittal.
The amount of each series of Maximum Tender Notes that was accepted for purchase in the Maximum Tender Offer was based on the Maximum Tender Amount. Because the aggregate amount of total consideration (plus Accrued Interest) and tender offer consideration (plus Accrued Interest) of the Maximum Tender Notes that have been tendered and not validly withdrawn exceeds the Maximum Tender Amount, Prologis has accepted for purchase approximately $37.3 million in aggregate principal amount of Maximum Tender Notes, prorated as set forth in the Offer to Purchase, resulting in a proration factor of 11.547%.
The consideration to be paid for each $1,000 principal amount of Maximum Tender Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or before 5:00 pm NYC time on November 6, 2013 (the "Early Tender Time") and accepted for purchase will be $1,195.98. The consideration to be paid for each $1,000 principal amount of Maximum Tender Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Time and at or before the Maximum Tender Expiration Time and accepted for purchase will be $1,165.98. Prologis will also pay accrued but unpaid interest ("Accrued Interest") with respect to the notes accepted for purchase from the applicable last interest payment date to, but not including, the Maximum Tender Offer settlement date, which is expected to be November 22, 2013. The aggregate consideration for the Maximum Tender Notes accepted for purchase is expected to be approximately $45 million, including Accrued Interest.
The Dealer Managers for the Maximum Tender Offer were Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC. This press release is neither an offer to purchase, nor a solicitation of an offer to sell the notes or any other securities.
Tender Related Charges
Prologis purchased approximately $299.0 million aggregate principal amount of notes in the Maximum Tender Offer and the recently completed any and all tender offer (collectively, the "Tender Offers"). The Tender Offers will result in a charge of approximately $50.7 million to earnings and funds from operations in the third quarter of 2013 with no impact on Core FFO. The charge includes the premium paid to tender the notes and the write-off of any discounts, premiums and deferred financing costs associated with the notes. For a discussion of funds from operations and Core FFO, please see Prologis' Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2013.
