ProLogis Closes on $120 Million Portfolio Refinancing for ProLogis California Fund

DENVER, March 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ProLogis (NYSE:PLD), a leading global provider of distribution facilities and services, announced today that it has closed on a $120 million, ten-year, secured financing with a major life insurance company on behalf of the ProLogis California Fund. The financing has a loan-to-value of approximately 50 percent with 11 industrial properties located in the LA Basin and Inland Empire as security. The proceeds will be used to partially refinance a $176 million secured debt facility that was set to mature in March 2009 but has been extended to March 2010.

In November 2008, ProLogis announced a series of immediate, definitive actions and outlined a strategic plan to reduce debt, de-risk the development pipeline and right-size the company. The plan includes re-financing and/or renegotiating debt maturities on ProLogis' balance sheet and in its property funds, halting new development starts, shrinking the development pipeline, de-levering the balance sheet, and retaining capital through G&A cuts and a reduction of the dividend.
