This filing relates solely to preliminary communications made prior to the commencement
of an anticipated tender offer to allow certain employees of ProLogis (the Company) to exchange
certain of their outstanding share options for restricted share units (the Exchange Program).
The Exchange Program was approved by the Companys shareholders at the Companys 2010 Annual
Meeting of Shareholders held on May 14, 2010.
On May 17, 2010, the Company circulated an interoffice memorandum to its employees regarding
the Exchange Program, which included certain questions and answers about the Exchange Program. The
text of such interoffice memorandum is attached herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein
by reference.
ProLogis
has not commenced the Exchange Program. Even though the Exchange Program has been
approved by ProLogis shareholders, ProLogis may still decide
not to implement the Exchange
Program. Persons who are eligible to participate in the Exchange Program should read the Tender
Offer Statement on Schedule TO and other related materials when those materials become available
because they will contain important information about the Exchange Program. ProLogis will file the
Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with the SEC upon the
commencement of the Exchange Program.
ProLogis shareholders and share option holders will be able to obtain these written materials and
other documents filed by ProLogis with the SEC free of charge from the Investor Relations page of
the ProLogis website at www.prologis.com or from the SECs website at www.sec.gov.
