Prologis, L.P. Commences Exchange Offers for Liberty Property Notes

SAN FRANCISCO and WAYNE, Pa., Jan. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Prologis, Inc. (NYSE: PLD; "PLD") and Liberty Property Trust (NYSE: LPT; "LPT") today announced that PLD's operating partnership, Prologis, L.P. ("Prologis OP"), commenced offers to exchange outstanding notes (the "Liberty Notes") of the two series described in the table below issued by Liberty Property Limited Partnership ("Liberty OP") for notes in two corresponding series to be issued by Prologis OP (the "Prologis Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $750 million. The Prologis Notes will be issued under and governed by the terms of the Prologis indenture dated June 8, 2011. Prologis OP is making the exchange offers and, on behalf of the combined companies, the solicitation of consents to amend the Liberty indenture (such indenture, as amended and supplemented, the "Liberty Indenture") governing the Liberty Notes (the "Proposed Amendments") in anticipation of the pending merger of PLD and LPT.

The exchange offers and the solicitation of consents are being made under 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 January 3, 2020 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.

Prologis OP is offering to exchange Liberty Notes in the two series described in the table below for Prologis Notes that will have the same interest rate, interest payment dates, redemption terms and maturity as the corresponding Liberty Notes.

Each series of Prologis Notes will bear interest from the most recent interest payment date on which interest has been paid on the corresponding series of Liberty Notes.

In exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of Liberty Notes that is validly tendered prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 23, 2020 unless extended (the "Early Expiration Date"), and not validly withdrawn, holders will receive total consideration consisting of (i) the exchange consideration of $970 principal amount of Prologis Notes plus $1 in cash and (ii) an "Early Participation Premium" of $30 principal amount of Prologis Notes. In exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of Liberty Notes that is validly tendered after the Early Expiration Date but prior to the expiration date of the exchange offers, which is 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on February 6, 2020, unless extended by Prologis OP (the "Final Expiration Date"), and not validly withdrawn, holders will receive only the exchange consideration consisting of $970 principal amount of Prologis Notes plus $1 in cash.

A holder who validly tenders its Liberty Notes for exchange will be deemed to have delivered its consent to the Proposed Amendments. Tenders of Liberty 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 not be revoked after the Early Expiration Date. 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 Liberty 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 Liberty Notes for exchange, or whose notes are not accepted for exchange, will remain a holder of such Liberty Notes. If the Proposed Amendments to the Liberty Indenture are adopted, all such Liberty Notes will be governed by the Liberty 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 Liberty Indenture.

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 LPT and receipt of valid consents sufficient to effect the Proposed Amendments. The merger with LPT is expected to be completed in early February 2020.

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.
