Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 9, 2010, ProLogis priced an offering of $400 million aggregate principal amount of
its 3.25% convertible senior notes due 2015 (the “2015 Notes”). In connection with the offering,
ProLogis entered into an Underwriting Agreement, dated March 9, 2010, with Citigroup Global Markets
Inc., Barclays Capital Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and Morgan
Stanley & Co. Incorporated, as representatives of the several underwriters named in Schedule A
thereto (the “ 2015 Underwriters”), pursuant to which ProLogis agreed to sell and the 2015
Underwriters agreed to purchase, subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth therein,
$400 million aggregate principal amount of the 2015 Notes. ProLogis also granted the 2015
Underwriters the right to purchase for 30 days up to an additional $60 million of 2015 Notes,
solely to cover overallotments. On March 12, 2010, the 2015 Underwriters exercised the
overallotment option in full. A copy of the 2015 Underwriting Agreement has been filed as an
exhibit to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
On March 9, 2010, ProLogis priced an offering of $1.1 billion aggregate principal amount of
its (i) 6.250% notes due 2017 (the “2017 Notes”) and (ii) 6.875% notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes”).
In connection with the offering, ProLogis entered into an Underwriting Agreement, dated March 9,
2010, with Banc of America Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Goldman, Sachs & Co. and
RBS Securities Inc., as representatives of the several underwriters named in Schedule A thereto
(the “2017/2020 Underwriters”), pursuant to which ProLogis agreed to sell and the 2017/2020
Underwriters agreed to purchase, subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth therein,
$300 million aggregate principal amount of the 2017 Notes and $800 million aggregate principal
amount of the 2020 Notes. A copy of the 2017/2020 Underwriting Agreement has been filed as an
exhibit to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
The offering of each of the 2015 Notes, the 2017 Notes and the 2020 Notes is expected to close
on March 16, 2010. The net proceeds to ProLogis from the sale of the 2015 Notes, after the
underwriters’ discounts and offering expenses, are estimated to be approximately $450.0 million.
The net proceeds to ProLogis from the sale of the 2017 Notes and the 2020 Notes, after the
underwriters’ discounts and offering expenses, are estimated to be approximately $1.088 billion.
ProLogis intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of each of the 2015 Notes, the 2017
Notes and the 2020 Notes for the repayment of borrowings under its global credit agreement.
ProLogis expects to reborrow under its global credit agreement to fund the cash purchase of certain
of its senior notes that are tendered pursuant to its offer to purchase such notes, which commenced
on March 8, 2010, the repayment or repurchase of other indebtedness and for general corporate
purposes. Affiliates of certain of the underwriters are lenders under ProLogis’s global line of
credit and therefore will receive proceeds from the offerings to the extent that proceeds are used
to repay borrowings under the global line of credit.
The 2015 Notes will bear interest at a rate of 3.25% per annum and mature on March 15, 2015.
The 2015 Notes will be convertible, at any time, at the option of the holder into ProLogis common
shares, at an initial conversion rate of 57.8503 shares per $1,000 principal amount of 2015 Notes
(equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $17.29 per ProLogis common share). The
initial conversion rate is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.
ProLogis
may not redeem all of the 2015 Notes at any time prior to maturity
except to the extent
necessary to preserve ProLogis’s status as a real estate investment trust.
The 2017 Notes will bear interest at a rate of 6.250% per annum and mature on March 15, 2017.
The 2020 Notes will bear interest at a rate of 6.875% per annum and mature on March 15, 2020.
The 2015 Notes, the 2017 Notes and the 2020 Notes are subject to the Registration Statement
(File No. 333-157818) that ProLogis filed with the SEC relating to the public offering from time to
time of securities of ProLogis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In
connection with ProLogis filing with the SEC a definitive prospectus supplement, dated March 9,
2010, and prospectus, dated October 27, 2009, relating to the public offering of the 2015 Notes and
a definitive prospectus supplement, dated March 9, 2010, and prospectus, dated October 27, 2009,
relating to the public offering of the 2017 Notes and the 2020 Notes, ProLogis is filing certain
