Record leasing supports stronger quarterly performance

Prologis (NYSE:PLD) lifted its full-year 2026 outlook for the second time this year after delivering stronger second-quarter results, driven by record leasing activity, higher occupancy levels and continued momentum across its logistics and data center operations.

For the quarter ended June 30, the industrial real estate company reported net earnings of $1.13 per diluted share, up from $0.61 in the same period last year. Core funds from operations (FFO) increased to $1.63 per diluted share from $1.46 a year earlier, while Core FFO excluding net promote income totaled $1.60 per share.

The company completed more than 67 million square feet of leasing during the quarter, marking the highest quarterly leasing volume in its history. Portfolio occupancy improved to 95.5% from 95.3% at the end of the first quarter, while cash same-store net operating income (NOI) climbed 8.5% year over year. Net effective rent growth reached 36.9%.

Investment activity accelerates across logistics and data centers

Prologis continued investing across its platform, launching $1.6 billion of logistics and data center developments during the quarter. It also completed $1.8 billion of third-party acquisitions, expanded its data center power pipeline to 5.8 gigawatts, disposed of $766 million in assets and contributed $518 million of logistics properties into its strategic capital vehicles.

Reflecting the stronger operating performance, the company increased its 2026 net earnings forecast to a range of $4.40 to $4.55 per diluted share, compared with previous guidance of $3.80 to $4.05. Core FFO guidance was also raised to between $6.22 and $6.30 per share from the prior range of $6.07 to $6.23. Management also increased expectations for development starts, acquisitions, property contributions and asset sales.

Prologis ended the quarter with approximately $7.6 billion in available liquidity, a debt-to-adjusted EBITDA ratio of 4.7x and a weighted average debt interest rate of 3.3%. Chief Executive Officer Daniel Letter said customer demand is expanding across logistics, digital infrastructure and energy markets, supporting the company’s long-term growth strategy.

Prologis Strikes Deal to Acquire Segro in £14.3 Billion Logistics Property MergerAugust 4, 2026 6:14 AM
IH Market News Prologis (NYSE:PLD) has reached an agreement to acquire Segro Plc (LSE:SGRO) in a transaction worth approximately £14.3 billion, combining two of the world’s largest industrial property owners. Once completed, the enlarged business will oversee around $269 billion of logistics real estate assets, significantly increasing Prologis’ scale across Europe. Share-Based Offer Includes Optional Cash Element The agreed offer values Segro at 1,031.7 pence per share, with investors receiving 0.0920 newly issued Prologis shares for each Segro share they own. The offer represents a 14.4% premium to Segro’s most recently reported net asset value of 902 pence per share. Including the proposed 2026 final dividend of up to 22.56 pence per share, the overall value rises to 1,054.3 pence per share. As an alternative, shareholders may elect to receive part of their consideration in cash. Up to £3.5 billion has been allocated for the cash option, representing one quarter of the total transaction value. Those selecting the standard mixed consideration will receive 258 pence in cash alongside 0.0690 Prologis shares for each Segro share held. If requests exceed the available cash pool, allocations will be reduced proportionally. Prologis said the cash component will be financed through committed borrowing facilities and existing cash resources. Combination Creates a Much Larger European Platform The acquisition will substantially strengthen Prologis’ position in Europe by adding Segro’s extensive warehouse portfolio. Together, the combined group will manage approximately 368 million square feet of logistics space across the continent. The merger will also expand Prologis’ European development pipeline to around 13 million square feet while more than doubling its regional land bank, providing significant capacity for future projects. “This deal brings together SEGRO’s exceptional portfolio and customer relationships with Prologis’ global platform, operating expertise and financial strength,” Prologis Chief Executive Daniel S. Letter said. Segro Chief Executive David Sleath described the merger as “a compelling platform,” adding that it combines Segro’s assets and future development opportunities with Prologis’ “global scale, customer franchise and operational capabilities.” Market Reaction and Financial Impact According to Jefferies analyst Sarim Chaudhry, shareholders who accept the share-based offer will own roughly 8.9% of the combined business. They would also remain entitled to receive Segro’s interim dividend of up to 10.14 pence per share and its proposed final dividend for 2026. Prologis expects the transaction to have little impact on Core FFO and AFFO per share during the first full year after completion, assuming expected operating synergies are achieved. The company also expects to preserve its current A2/A investment-grade credit ratings from Moody’s and S&P. Board Recommends Transaction Segro’s Board has unanimously backed the proposal and is recommending that shareholders vote in favour of the acquisition. Prologis does not require shareholder approval for the deal but plans to obtain a secondary listing on the London Stock Exchange before completion. The transaction is expected to complete during the first half of 2027, subject to shareholder approval, court approval and the relevant regulatory clearances.

The statements in this announcement that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the industry and markets in which Prologis and SEGRO operate as well as management's beliefs and assumptions. Such statements involve uncertainties that could significantly impact Prologis' or SEGRO's financial results. Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "believes," "would," "could," "should" and "estimates," including variations of such words and similar expressions, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that Prologis expects or anticipates will occur in the future – including statements relating to any possible transaction between Prologis and SEGRO , rent and occupancy growth, acquisition and development activity, including data center developments and power procurement related thereto, contribution and disposition activity, general conditions in the geographic areas where Prologis and SEGRO operate, expectations regarding new lines of business, Prologis' and SEGRO's respective debt, capital structure and financial position, Prologis' ability to earn revenues from co-investment ventures or form new co-investment ventures and the availability of capital in existing or new co-investment ventures – are forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Although Prologis believes the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, Prologis can give no assurance that its expectations will be attained, and therefore actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that may affect outcomes and results include, but are not limited to: (i) the ultimate outcome of any possible transaction between Prologis and SEGRO, including the possibility that SEGRO will continue to reject any proposed transaction with Prologis; (ii) uncertainties as to whether SEGRO will cooperate with Prologis regarding any proposed transaction; (iii) the effect of the announcement of any proposed transaction on the ability of Prologis and SEGRO to operate their respective businesses and retain and hire key personnel and to maintain favourable business relationships; (iv) the timing of any proposed transaction; (v) the ability to satisfy closing conditions to the completion of any proposed transaction (including shareholder approvals); (vi) other risks related to the completion of any proposed transaction and actions related thereto; (vii) international, national, regional and local economic and political climates and conditions; (viii) changes in global financial markets, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates; (ix) increased or unanticipated competition for Prologis' or SEGRO's properties; (x) risks associated with acquisitions, dispositions and development of properties, including those specific to data center development and the integration of the operations of significant real estate portfolios; (xi) maintenance of Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") status, tax structuring and changes in income tax laws and rates; (xii) availability of financing and capital, the levels of debt that Prologis and SEGRO maintain and their credit ratings; (xiii) risks related to Prologis' investments in and management of its co-investment ventures, including the ability to establish new co-investment ventures; (xiv) risks of doing business internationally, including currency risks; (xv) environmental uncertainties, including risks of natural disasters; (xvi) risks related to global pandemics; and (xvii) those additional factors discussed under Part I, Item 1A.

Best and Final* Proposal and Request for PUSU Deadline ExtensionJuly 22, 2026 6:04 AM
PR Newswire (US) NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN WHOLE OR IN PART IN, INTO OR FROM ANY JURISDICTION WHERE TO DO SO WOULD CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF THE RELEVANT LAWS OR REGULATIONS OF THAT JURISDICTION.THIS IS AN ANNOUNCEMENT FALLING UNDER RULE 2.4 OF THE CITY CODE ON TAKEOVERS AND MERGERS (THE "CODE") AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A FIRM INTENTION TO MAKE AN OFFER UNDER RULE 2.7 OF THE CODE. THERE CAN BE NO CERTAINTY THAT ANY FIRM OFFER WILL BE MADE.SAN FRANCISCO, July 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Prologis, Inc. ("Prologis") announces its Best and Final* proposal to the Board of SEGRO plc ("SEGRO") (the "Best and Final Proposal") pursuant to which Prologis would make an offer to acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of SEGRO (the "Combination").The Best and Final Proposal is final and will not be increased*.Prologis believes the Best and Final Proposal provides a compelling opportunity for both sets of shareholders and urges SEGRO shareholders to encourage their Board to recommend the Combination.The Best and Final Proposal consists of:0.0920 new Prologis shares for each SEGRO share, a 9.5 per cent increase over Prologis' initial proposal; anda Partial Cash Alternative of up to £3.5bn, representing 25 per cent of the total consideration, at a fixed price of 1,031.7 pence per SEGRO share, subject to pro-rata scale-back.Based on Prologis' closing share price of $149.94 and the GBP:USD exchange rate of 1.3371 on 21 July 2026, being the last practicable date prior to this announcement, and assuming a shareholder elects for 25 per cent cash, the Best and Final Proposal values each SEGRO share at 1,031.7 pence, representing:a premium of 14.0 per cent to SEGRO's pro forma adjusted NAV of 905 pence per share as of 30 June 2026;a premium of 39.0 per cent to the closing price of 742 pence per share on 23 June 2026 (being the day prior to the commencement of the offer period);a premium of 41.3 per cent to the 1-month volume weighted average share price of 730 pence as of 23 June 2026 (being the day prior to the commencement of the offer period); anda premium of 46.6 per cent to the 3-month volume weighted average share price of 704 pence as of 23 June 2026 (being the day prior to the commencement of the offer period).The Best and Final Proposal values the issued and to be issued share capital of SEGRO at approximately £14.0 billion.*The Best and Final Proposal is final and will not be increased, except that Prologis reserves the right to increase and/or otherwise improve the Best and Final Proposal if: (i) there is an announcement on or after the date of this announcement of an offer or possible offer (including a partial offer involving the acquisition or consolidation of control (as defined in the Code)) for SEGRO by a third party offeror(s) or potential offeror(s) (whether identified or not), or (ii) the Takeover Panel otherwise provides its consent (which will only be provided in wholly exceptional circumstances).Following completion of the Combination and assuming that the Partial Cash Alternative is fully taken up, existing SEGRO shareholders would hold approximately 8.9 per cent of Prologis' issued share capital.Prologis also confirms that, in connection with the Combination, it intends to explore the feasibility of a secondary listing of Prologis shares on the London Stock Exchange if there is sufficient investor demand. For any such secondary listing to be feasible, Prologis expects that SEGRO Board engagement with Prologis will be required.Dan Letter, Chief Executive Officer of Prologis, Inc., commented:
"There is no doubt a combination of both companies would deliver meaningful value. We have listened to feedback from shareholders and this morning, we have improved our proposal to make a compelling offer to the SEGRO Board. We run Prologis with discipline and this is our best and final offer."Prologis urges SEGRO shareholders to encourage the Board of SEGRO to extend the PUSU Deadline and recommend the Combination Prologis requests that SEGRO seeks from the Takeover Panel an extension to the PUSU Deadline of 5pm BST on 22 July 2026, in order to allow sufficient time to agree the other terms and conditions of a recommended firm offer to be made on the financial terms of the Best and Final Proposal.Under the terms of the Best and Final Proposal, SEGRO shareholders will be entitled to continue to receive dividends up to the amounts specified below without a reduction in the terms of the Best and Final Proposal.There can be no certainty that an offer for SEGRO will be made. A further announcement will be made as appropriate.Important Code Notes*The Best and Final Proposal is final and will not be increased, except that Prologis reserves the right to increase and/or otherwise improve the Best and Final Proposal if: (i) there is an announcement on or after the date of this announcement of an offer or possible offer (including a partial offer involving the acquisition or consolidation of control (as defined in the Code)) for SEGRO by a third party offeror(s) or potential offeror(s) (whether identified or not), or (ii) the Takeover Panel otherwise provides its consent (which will only be provided in wholly exceptional circumstances).In accordance with Rule 2.6(a) of the Code, Prologis is required, by not later than 5:00 pm (London time) on 22 July 2026 (the "PUSU Deadline"), to either announce a firm intention to make an offer for SEGRO in accordance with Rule 2.7 of the Code or announce that it does not intend to make an offer for SEGRO, in which case the announcement will be treated as a statement to which Rule 2.8 of the Code applies. This deadline may only be extended with the consent of the Takeover Panel in accordance with Rule 2.6(c) of the Code.In accordance with Rule 2.5(a) of the Code, Prologis reserves the right to vary the form and/or mix of consideration as set out in this announcement and/or introduce other forms of consideration. Prologis reserves the right to make an offer for SEGRO at a lower value and/or on less favourable terms than those described in this announcement: (a) with the agreement or recommendation of the Board of SEGRO; (b) if a third party announces a possible or a firm intention to make an offer for SEGRO which, at that date, is of a value less than the value implied by the Best and Final Proposal; or (c) following the announcement by SEGRO of a Rule 9 waiver transaction pursuant to Appendix 1 of the Code or a reverse takeover (as defined in the Code). SEGRO shareholders shall be entitled to receive and retain any 2026 interim dividend up to 10.14 pence per SEGRO share (the "2026 Interim Dividend"), any 2026 final dividend up to 22.56 pence per SEGRO share (the "2026 Final Dividend"), any 2027 interim dividend up to 10.55 pence per SEGRO share (the "2027 Interim Dividend"), and any 2027 final dividend up to 23.52 pence per SEGRO share (the "2027 Final Dividend", and together with the 2026 Interim Dividend, the 2026 Final Dividend and the 2027 Interim Dividend the "Permitted Dividends"), in each case that is announced, declared, paid or made or becomes payable by SEGRO on or after the date of this announcement and on or prior to any unconditional date of any offer (if made). If after the date of this announcement SEGRO declares, makes or pays any dividend or distribution or other return of capital to its shareholders other than the Permitted Dividends, Prologis will make an equivalent reduction to the terms of the Best and Final Proposal.The Partial Cash AlternativeThe maximum aggregate amount of the partial cash alternative is £3.5 billion, representing approximately 25 per cent of the total value of the consideration based on the offer price of 1,031.7 pence per share (the "Partial Cash Alternative").SEGRO shareholders who validly elect to receive the Partial Cash Alternative for the basic entitlement (equal to 25 per cent of the fixed cash amount of a fixed 1,031.7 pence per share) would receive 257.9 pence in cash and would also receive 0.0690 new Prologis shares for each SEGRO share.SEGRO shareholders may elect to receive cash consideration less than, or in excess of, their basic entitlement. Elections to receive cash in excess of this basic entitlement may be scaled back pro rata, depending upon the overall level of take-up of the Partial Cash Alternative.The Partial Cash Alternative would not affect the entitlements of those SEGRO shareholders who do not elect for it, each of whom would receive 0.0920 new Prologis shares for each SEGRO share.Linklaters LLP is retained as legal adviser to Prologis.Further informationN.M.

Further Announcement Regarding a Possible Combination of SEGRO and PrologisJuly 21, 2026 2:07 AM
PR Newswire (US) NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN WHOLE OR IN PART IN, INTO OR FROM ANY JURISDICTION WHERE TO DO SO WOULD CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF THE RELEVANT LAWS OR REGULATIONS OF THAT JURISDICTION.THIS IS AN ANNOUNCEMENT FALLING UNDER RULE 2.4 OF THE CITY CODE ON TAKEOVERS AND MERGERS (THE "CODE") AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A FIRM INTENTION TO MAKE AN OFFER UNDER RULE 2.7 OF THE CODE. THERE CAN BE NO CERTAINTY THAT ANY FIRM OFFER WILL BE MADE. SAN FRANCISCO, July 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ --Introduction Following submission of our latest proposal, senior representatives of Prologis, Inc. ("Prologis") met with SEGRO plc ("SEGRO") management in London on Sunday. Having submitted a revised proposal only days earlier, the purpose of that meeting was not to present a further revised offer, but rather to understand whether there was a credible path to a transaction capable of recommendation by the SEGRO Board.We were disappointed that the discussion did not provide meaningful clarity regarding the matters that would enable further progress.SEGRO's aspirational valuation Prologis is very active across the real estate markets in Europe. Prologis' assessment of SEGRO's value is grounded in the quality of its real estate and our expectations for its long-term performance. SEGRO's total property portfolio as at 31 December 2025 was valued at £19.0 billion. Of this, £16.7 billion was categorised as completed assets at an EPRA Net Initial Yield of 4.2 per cent. At market close on 20 July 2026 the UK 10-year Gilt had risen to 5.04 per cent.In SEGRO's Trading Update published on 8 July 2026, it outlined that NAV had declined from 925 pence per share to 905 pence per share over the six months to 30 June 2026. The NAV reflects SEGRO's independent valuers' assessment of the value of all development land and property assets owned by SEGRO as at 30 June 2026. It is very unusual for a real estate defence document to publish a declining NAV during an offer period.SEGRO has consistently traded at a significant discount to its EPRA NTA.  As set out in our presentation published on 20 July 2026, Prologis believes this is not because of temporary market dislocation, the conflict in the Middle East or other factors cited by the SEGRO Board, but because the consensus forecast earnings for SEGRO on a standalone basis imply only 4.7 per cent annual growth over the next three years and 6.4 per cent through 2030, based on SEGRO's guidance 2030 EPS of 50 pence per share. The market requires a much better growth outlook to trade at EPRA NTA. SEGRO has not been able to raise its standalone forecast beyond this growth rate. That is because it has £16.7 billion of completed assets fully valued at an EPRA Net Initial Yield of 4.2 per cent.Based on the see-through value of the proposal announced on 20 July 2026 of 993 pence per share, Prologis is offering SEGRO shareholders a 9.7 per cent premium to its latest pro forma adjusted NAV of 905 pence per share. This would be amongst the highest premiums to NAV paid for a UK real estate company in the last 10 years. It also represents the entry point into an exchange offer, that will allow SEGRO shareholders to benefit from Prologis superior earnings growth, liquidity, and rating than we believe they will receive from SEGRO standalone.Prologis believes that the SEGRO defence relies on unrealistic risk assessments and assumptions to arrive at the various NAV uplifts and earnings projections. Even if we assume earnings of 50 pence per share in 2030, as set out in its presentation dated 8 July 2026, taking SEGRO's latest undisturbed share price to earnings multiple of 19.3x, this implies an undiscounted share price for SEGRO of 964 pence in four years' time. We are offering SEGRO shareholders more than that today.Conclusions The SEGRO Board rejected our March 2024 Proposal in 72 hours, saying "we see no merit in the proposed combination". Prologis believes that decision has left SEGRO shareholders 36.5 per cent worse off. We believe the SEGRO Board is repeating that mistake.Prologis remains convinced that a combination would create substantial long-term value. However, highly disciplined capital allocation has always been fundamental to our strategy and our responsibility to Prologis shareholders.We remain ready to engage constructively at any time in the interests of all shareholders.There can be no certainty that an offer for SEGRO will be made. A further announcement will be made as appropriate.Important Code NotesIn accordance with Rule 2.6(a) of the Code, Prologis is required, by not later than 5:00 pm (London time) on 22 July 2026, to either announce a firm intention to make an offer for SEGRO in accordance with Rule 2.7 of the Code or announce that it does not intend to make an offer for SEGRO, in which case the announcement will be treated as a statement to which Rule 2.8 of the Code applies.

These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the industry and markets in which Prologis and SEGRO operate as well as management's beliefs and assumptions. Such statements involve uncertainties that could significantly impact Prologis' or SEGRO's financial results. Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "believes," "would," "could," "should" and "estimates," including variations of such words and similar expressions, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature.

Third Proposal and Introduction of a Partial Cash AlternativeJuly 20, 2026 2:08 AM
PR Newswire (US) NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN WHOLE OR IN PART IN, INTO OR FROM ANY JURISDICTION WHERE TO DO SO WOULD CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF THE RELEVANT LAWS OR REGULATIONS OF THAT JURISDICTION.THIS IS AN ANNOUNCEMENT FALLING UNDER RULE 2.4 OF THE CITY CODE ON TAKEOVERS AND MERGERS (THE "CODE") AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A FIRM INTENTION TO MAKE AN OFFER UNDER RULE 2.7 OF THE CODE. THERE CAN BE NO CERTAINTY THAT ANY FIRM OFFER WILL BE MADE.SAN FRANCISCO, July 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ --Introduction Prologis, Inc. ("Prologis") announces that since its announcement of 24 June 2026, it has made two further proposals to the Board of SEGRO plc ("SEGRO") pursuant to which Prologis would make an offer to acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of SEGRO (the "Combination").Prologis made its second proposal on 10 July 2026 which was rejected on 12 July 2026. Prologis' most recent proposal was made on 16 July 2026 (the "Third Proposal") and rejected on 17 July 2026.Prologis believes the Third Proposal provides a compelling opportunity for both sets of shareholders and urges SEGRO shareholders to encourage their Board to recommend the Combination.Prologis has today published a new investor presentation to help shareholders assess the Third Proposal and the Combination.Our Revised Proposal Delivers Superior ValueThe Third Proposal consists of:0.0890 new Prologis shares for each SEGRO share, a 6.0 per cent increase over Prologis' initial proposal; anda Partial Cash Alternative of up to £2.7bn, representing 20 per cent of the total consideration, at a fixed price of 1,000 pence per SEGRO share, subject to pro-rata scale-back.Based on Prologis' closing share price of $149.79 and the GBP:USD exchange of 1.3445 on 17 July 2026, being the last practicable date prior to this announcement, and assuming a shareholder elects for 20 per cent cash, the Third Proposal values each SEGRO share at 993 pence, representing:a premium of 9.7 per cent to SEGRO's pro forma adjusted NAV of 905 pence per share as of 30 June 2026;a premium of 33.8 per cent to the closing price of 742 pence per share on 23 June 2026 (being the day prior to the commencement of the offer period);a premium of 36.0 per cent to the 1-month volume weighted average share price of 730 pence as of 23 June 2026 (being the day prior to the commencement of the offer period); anda premium of 41.1 per cent to the 3-month volume weighted average share price of 704 pence as of 23 June 2026 (being the day prior to the commencement of the offer period).The Third Proposal values the issued and to be issued share capital of SEGRO at approximately £13.5 billion.Following completion of the Combination and assuming that the Partial Cash Alternative is fully taken up, existing SEGRO shareholders would hold approximately 9.2 per cent of Prologis' issued share capital.Prologis also confirms that, in connection with the Combination, it intends to explore the feasibility of a secondary listing of Prologis shares on the London Stock Exchange if there is sufficient investor demand. For any such secondary listing to be feasible, Prologis expects that SEGRO Board engagement with Prologis will be required.Prologis Global Platform Continues to Deliver, Further Enhancing Our ProposalPrologis' Q2 2026 results further enhance the Third Proposal and demonstrate growth and value creation across its business lines. Prologis delivered year-on-year same-store NOI growth of 8.5 per cent and year-on-year Core FFO per share growth of 11.6 per cent.FY'26 H1 data center starts reached $2.1 billion, exceeding previous full-year guidance, and the 5.8 GW power pipeline has more than doubled over the last two years. Prologis also increased 2026 Core FFO per share guidance by 179 basis points at the midpoint.The Standalone Case Doesn't Add UpPrologis has thoroughly assessed SEGRO's investor presentation dated 8 July 2026. With deep operating experience in SEGRO's markets, a global development platform and an established end-to-end data center business, Prologis is well positioned to evaluate the claims being made. The facts SEGRO shareholders should consider are clear:SEGRO's Assessment of Value Is UnrealisticSEGRO's discount rate applied of 8 per cent understates both execution risk and cost of capital in relation to speculative, long-dated, often un-zoned and untenanted development projects.The Paris data center entitlement revocation shows its powered land bank is subject to material risk, which does not appear to be factored into SEGRO's valuation exercise.SEGRO's Own Actions Contradict Its Valuation ClaimsSEGRO's defense valuation adds a "cluster" premium, despite planning to dispose of prime assets, including significant development land, into the proposed PSP joint venture at NAV.SEGRO's reported NAV declined 2.2 per cent in the first half of 2026.Shareholders Bear All the RiskThe SEGRO Board rejected the Third Proposal valued at 993 pence (based on an election for 20 per cent of consideration in cash) for value that may never materialise.Questions remain regarding leadership succession.Market evidence does not support a standalone share price consistent with Prologis' proposal.While Prologis disputes the approach and fundamental basis of the SEGRO defence exercise, Prologis would expect SEGRO to confirm it will apply the same valuation framework and assumptions in its evaluation of Prologis as part of its assessment of the exchange offer and relative value.SEGRO's 2024 Rejection of Prologis Proposal Was Costly for SEGRO ShareholdersPrologis made an all-share proposal to SEGRO in March 2024 to acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of SEGRO (the "March 2024 Proposal"). The March 2024 Proposal implied a headline price of 963 pence per share and a 7.1 per cent premium to NTA.SEGRO, as with our initial approach announced on 24 June 2026, dismissed the March 2024 Proposal as "opportunistic", stating that "we are not seeking to combine or sell SEGRO" and "we see no merit in the proposed combination".Had SEGRO engaged in March 2024 and SEGRO shareholders been given the opportunity to consider a firm offer made under Rule 2.7 of the Code on the terms of the March 2024 Proposal and it had become unconditional on its terms, SEGRO shareholders could be 36.5 per cent better off today in share price terms. References in this statement to the March 2024 Proposal are for factual information purposes only
and shall not be construed as indicating any terms of any transaction or offer for the purposes of Rule
2.5 of the Code.SEGRO Shareholders Face a Clear ChoicePrologis' proposal provides upfront value, greater flexibility and long-term upside opportunity. SEGRO's standalone plan relies on flawless execution of a significant, long-dated development pipeline, substantial third-party funding and an unjustified valuation.Prologis urges SEGRO shareholders to encourage the Board of SEGRO to recommend the Combination.The investor presentation published today is available on Prologis' website at https://ir.prologis.com/potential-offer-for-segro-disclaimer subject to certain restrictions.There can be no certainty that an offer for SEGRO will be made. A further announcement will be made as appropriate.Important Code NotesIn accordance with Rule 2.6(a) of the Code, Prologis is required, by not later than 5:00 pm (London time) on 22 July 2026, to either announce a firm intention to make an offer for SEGRO in accordance with Rule 2.7 of the Code or announce that it does not intend to make an offer for SEGRO, in which case the announcement will be treated as a statement to which Rule 2.8 of the Code applies. This deadline may only be extended with the consent of the Takeover Panel in accordance with Rule 2.6(c) of the Code.In accordance with Rule 2.5(a) of the Code, Prologis reserves the right to vary the form and/or mix of consideration as set out in this announcement and/or introduce other forms of consideration. Prologis reserves the right to make an offer for SEGRO at a lower value and/or on less favourable terms than those described in this announcement: (a) with the agreement or recommendation of the Board of SEGRO; (b) if a third party announces a possible or a firm intention to make an offer for SEGRO which, at that date, is of a value less than the value implied by the Third Proposal; or (c) following the announcement by SEGRO of a Rule 9 waiver transaction pursuant to Appendix 1 of the Code or a reverse takeover (as defined in the Code). If after the date of this announcement SEGRO declares, makes or pays any dividend or distribution or other return of capital to its shareholders, Prologis reserves the right to make an equivalent reduction to terms of the Third Proposal or an equalisation dividend to a common date.The Partial Cash AlternativeThe maximum aggregate amount of the partial cash alternative is £2.7 billion, representing approximately 20 per cent of the total value of the consideration based on the offer price of 993 pence per share (the "Partial Cash Alternative").SEGRO shareholders who validly elect to receive the Partial Cash Alternative for the basic entitlement (equal to 20 per cent of the fixed cash amount of a fixed 1,000 pence per share) would receive 200 pence in cash and would also receive 0.0712 new Prologis shares for each SEGRO share.SEGRO shareholders may elect to receive cash consideration less than, or in excess of, their basic entitlement. Elections to receive cash in excess of this basic entitlement may be scaled back pro rata, depending upon the overall level of take-up of the Partial Cash Alternative.The Partial Cash Alternative would not affect the entitlements of those SEGRO shareholders who do not elect for it, each of whom would receive 0.0890 new Prologis shares for each SEGRO share. Linklaters LLP is retained as legal adviser to Prologis.Further informationN.M.

Prologis raises 2026 guidance again after record leasing quarter (PLD)July 16, 2026 9:41 AM
IH Market News Record leasing supports stronger quarterly performance Prologis (NYSE:PLD) lifted its full-year 2026 outlook for the second time this year after delivering stronger second-quarter results, driven by record leasing activity, higher occupancy levels and continued momentum across its logistics and data center operations. For the quarter ended June 30, the industrial real estate company reported net earnings of $1.13 per diluted share, up from $0.61 in the same period last year. Core funds from operations (FFO) increased to $1.63 per diluted share from $1.46 a year earlier, while Core FFO excluding net promote income totaled $1.60 per share. The company completed more than 67 million square feet of leasing during the quarter, marking the highest quarterly leasing volume in its history. Portfolio occupancy improved to 95.5% from 95.3% at the end of the first quarter, while cash same-store net operating income (NOI) climbed 8.5% year over year. Net effective rent growth reached 36.9%. Investment activity accelerates across logistics and data centers Prologis continued investing across its platform, launching $1.6 billion of logistics and data center developments during the quarter. It also completed $1.8 billion of third-party acquisitions, expanded its data center power pipeline to 5.8 gigawatts, disposed of $766 million in assets and contributed $518 million of logistics properties into its strategic capital vehicles. Reflecting the stronger operating performance, the company increased its 2026 net earnings forecast to a range of $4.40 to $4.55 per diluted share, compared with previous guidance of $3.80 to $4.05. Core FFO guidance was also raised to between $6.22 and $6.30 per share from the prior range of $6.07 to $6.23. Management also increased expectations for development starts, acquisitions, property contributions and asset sales. Prologis ended the quarter with approximately $7.6 billion in available liquidity, a debt-to-adjusted EBITDA ratio of 4.7x and a weighted average debt interest rate of 3.3%. Chief Executive Officer Daniel Letter said customer demand is expanding across logistics, digital infrastructure and energy markets, supporting the company’s long-term growth strategy.

Combining SEGRO and Prologis - A Credible Path to Value CreationJuly 9, 2026 2:35 AM
PR Newswire (US) NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN WHOLE OR IN PART IN, INTO OR FROM ANY JURISDICTION WHERE TO DO SO WOULD CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF THE RELEVANT LAWS OR REGULATIONS OF THAT JURISDICTION.THIS ANNOUNCEMENT IS NOT AN ANNOUNCEMENT OF A FIRM INTENTION TO MAKE AN OFFER UNDER RULE 2.7 OF THE CITY CODE ON TAKEOVERS AND MERGERS (THE "CODE"). THERE CAN BE NO CERTAINTY THAT ANY FIRM OFFER WILL BE MADE.SAN FRANCISCO, July 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Following constructive engagement with SEGRO plc's ("SEGRO") shareholders and the presentation published by SEGRO yesterday, Prologis, Inc. ("Prologis") today published a new investor presentation to help shareholders further assess the significant potential benefits of a combination of Prologis and SEGRO.Prologis believes constructive engagement with Prologis remains the best path for the Board of SEGRO to maximise long-term value for SEGRO shareholders and wider stakeholders, for four compelling reasons:Prologis brings both a superior platform and a larger data center opportunityPrologis' platform creates advantages that cannot be replicated by SEGROSEGRO's public market valuation reflects its structural constraintsThe strategic rationale is clear — constructive engagement creates the best outcome1.  Prologis Brings Both a Superior Platform and a Larger Data Center Opportunity Prologis has an established data center platform with end-to-end capabilities to convert power into data center value. It is staffed to deliver on the substantial data center opportunity with a dedicated data center team of 75+ people along with a 250+ person development team, 175+ person in-house energy team and a 35+ person procurement team. Prologis has a proven track record for execution, and monetisation from its data center platform.Prologis' power pipeline of 5.8GW across approximately 30 projects (less than 1% of the Prologis portfolio) is either secured or in advanced stages, with a longer-term estimate of 10GW+ with meaningful potential upside and more than 150 projects with power applications under review. SEGRO shareholders have the opportunity to benefit from a more experienced, larger and better-capitalised data center platform that can capture and maximise the long-term value of both companies' data center pipelines as well as the upside from Prologis' broader embedded power potential.2.  Prologis' Platform Creates Advantages That Cannot be Replicated by SEGROSEGRO's reliance on project-level joint ventures underscores the capital constraints it faces as a standalone company. Under these structures SEGRO shareholders will give away significant value and upside to joint venture partners while, unlike Prologis, not earning any fees or promotes that would amplify returns.Prologis believes this highlights SEGRO's capital and capability deficiencies, giving away a share of the potential return to a partner, whilst constraining SEGRO's ability to deploy capital competitively at pace. The development activity within the Pure Data Center joint venture, and future joint ventures for fully fitted data center development per the strategy set out by SEGRO, is funded by high leverage at a loan-to-cost ratio of approximately 70%.A combination with Prologis offers SEGRO shareholders a stronger path to value creation than project-level joint ventures. It would allow SEGRO shareholders to participate in the upside of SEGRO's pipeline while benefiting from Prologis' scaled, global platform, fortress balance sheet and established strategic capital platform.3.  SEGRO's Public Market Valuation Reflects its Structural ConstraintsSEGRO's portfolio value is transparent with third-party valuations carried out every six months. Based on its 31 December 2025 valuation, SEGRO's asset value comprised 88% completed assets and 12% development properties and land sites valued using the residual method.SEGRO's consensus forecast earnings growth for the next three years is lacklustre, particularly in comparison to its European logistics peers. Based on analyst consensus, SEGRO's forecast EPS CAGR for the period from 2025 to 2028 is 4.7% compared to a 7.1% forecast EPS CAGR for European logistics peers. That growth outlook does not support a premium market valuation particularly given that SEGRO already trades on a much higher price to earnings ratio than its European logistics peers.Prologis notes SEGRO management's new adjusted earnings guidance of 50 pence per share by 2030 which implies a compound annual growth rate of 6.4%. This will require a higher growth rate in the later years of the forecast based on the lower near-term consensus growth. This growth will require significant investment and new capital, and is by no means certain.4.  The Strategic Rationale is Clear — Constructive Engagement Creates the Best OutcomeThe proposed combination offers SEGRO shareholders a substantial upfront premium and participation in a long-term value opportunity through ownership of the combined platform.Customers would benefit from Prologis' global platform, deep local leadership and expertise as well as proven execution across leading logistics markets that support increasingly international supply chains. Communities will continue to benefit from Prologis' long-term investment approach and sustained investment in skills and partnerships.Prologis has a significant footprint across Europe and has operated in the U.K. for nearly 30 years. The combination supports the U.K.'s growth agenda through continued investment in strategic logistics infrastructure, strengthening supply chain resilience and creating long-term economic opportunity.Constructive EngagementPrologis remains ready to engage constructively with the SEGRO Board and believes that a collaborative dialogue would enable both companies to explore the full potential of a combination and ensure shareholders are able to evaluate all available opportunities.Prologis urges SEGRO shareholders to encourage the SEGRO Board to engage with Prologis to allow a binding offer to be put to SEGRO shareholders for their consideration.The investor presentation published today is available on Prologis' website at https://ir.prologis.com/potential-offer-for-segro-disclaimer, subject to certain restrictions.There can be no certainty that an offer for SEGRO will be made.

These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the industry and markets in which Prologis and SEGRO operate as well as management's beliefs and assumptions. Such statements involve uncertainties that could significantly impact Prologis' or SEGRO's financial results. Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "believes," "would", "could", "should" and "estimates," including variations of such words and similar expressions, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that Prologis expects or anticipates will occur in the future – including statements relating to any possible transaction between Prologis and SEGRO , rent and occupancy growth, acquisition and development activity, including data center developments and power procurement related thereto, contribution and disposition activity, general conditions in the geographic areas where Prologis and SEGRO operate, expectations regarding new lines of business, Prologis' and SEGRO's debt, capital structure and financial position, Prologis' ability to earn revenues from co-investment ventures or form new co-investment ventures and the availability of capital in existing or new co-investment ventures – are forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Although Prologis believes the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, Prologis can give no assurance that its expectations will be attained, and therefore actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements.

Prologis Goes Public With £12.6 Billion Segro Proposal After Board Rejection (SGRO)June 24, 2026 6:56 AM
IH Market News U.S. logistics property group Prologis (NYSE:PLD) has publicly disclosed its £12.6 billion ($16.62 billion) takeover proposal for Segro (LSE:SGRO) after the UK warehouse owner rejected the approach, escalating pressure on the company’s board to enter formal discussions. The move represents the latest attempt by an overseas buyer to acquire a London-listed business, as lower UK market valuations continue to attract international interest and contribute to a record year for takeover activity in Britain. The announcement follows a similar strategy adopted by Castlelake, which recently made its approach for easyJet public after multiple unsuccessful attempts to engage with the airline’s board. Prologis Appeals Directly to Segro Shareholders Prologis argues that Segro’s shares have consistently traded below the company’s net asset value and that the business faces limitations in extracting the full value from its development projects and growing data centre pipeline, an area benefiting from rising artificial intelligence demand. “Prologis urges Segro shareholders to encourage the Segro board to engage with Prologis to allow a binding offer to be put to Segro shareholders for their consideration,” the company said in a statement outlining its all-share proposal. The disclosure prompted a sharp market reaction, with Segro shares jumping more than 20% to 892 pence, their highest level since September 2024. Segro Rejects Offer as Undervalued Segro responded by reaffirming its opposition to the proposal. The company stated that its board had “unanimously and unequivocally rejected the proposal, which falls a long way short of Segro’s own views on value”. Management also described the approach as “opportunistically timed”, suggesting the offer failed to reflect the company’s long-term prospects. Offer Values Segro at Book Value Under the terms of the proposal, Segro shareholders would receive 0.084 new Prologis shares for every Segro share held. Based on prevailing market prices, the offer values Segro at approximately 925 pence per share, representing a premium of around 25% to Tuesday’s closing price. However, the valuation broadly matches Segro’s most recently reported net asset value, offering little premium to book value. The proposal contrasts with several recent UK property transactions. Blackstone’s acquisition of Warehouse REIT was completed at a discount to book value, while the merger between Primary Health Properties and Assura was agreed at only a modest premium. “In our view Prologis would be reluctant to increase the offer materially and take it above NAV,” said Oli Creasey, head of property research at Quilter Cheviot. Analysts Question Whether Bid Reflects Future Growth Potential Industry observers note that Segro and Prologis already have significant overlap across key European logistics markets, including the UK, France and Germany. Panmure Liberum analyst Bjorn Zietsman questioned whether the current proposal “adequately compensates shareholders” for Segro’s future earnings potential, expected returns and broader asset portfolio. The analyst suggested investors may seek a higher valuation given the company’s development opportunities and exposure to expanding data centre demand. Prologis Has History of Value-Creating Acquisitions Prologis has built a strong reputation for acquiring logistics-focused real estate investment trusts and generating substantial returns from those transactions. The company has previously delivered returns of approximately 39% from Duke Realty, 97% from Liberty Property Trust and 166% from DCT Industrial following the announcement of those acquisitions. Under UK takeover regulations, Prologis must either submit a formal offer for Segro or withdraw its interest by July 22. The coming weeks are likely to determine whether shareholder pressure leads to negotiations or whether Segro continues to resist the approach.

Creating Shareholder Value Through a Possible SEGRO and Prologis CombinationJune 24, 2026 2:27 AM
PR Newswire (US) NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN WHOLE OR IN PART IN, INTO OR FROM ANY JURISDICTION WHERE TO DO SO WOULD CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF THE RELEVANT LAWS OR REGULATIONS OF THAT JURISDICTION.THIS IS AN ANNOUNCEMENT FALLING UNDER RULE 2.4 OF THE CITY CODE ON TAKEOVERS AND MERGERS (THE "CODE") AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A FIRM INTENTION TO MAKE AN OFFER UNDER RULE 2.7 OF THE CODE. THERE CAN BE NO CERTAINTY THAT ANY FIRM OFFER WILL BE MADE.SAN FRANCISCO, June 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Prologis, Inc. ("Prologis") announces that on 16 June 2026 it sent a letter to the Board of SEGRO plc ("SEGRO") setting out the terms of an indicative all-share proposal, pursuant to which Prologis would acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of SEGRO (the "Combination").On 23 June 2026, the Board of SEGRO unequivocally rejected the Combination proposal.Under the terms of the Combination, SEGRO shareholders would receive for each SEGRO share:0.084 new Prologis shares (the "Exchange Ratio")Based on the Prologis share price of $145.3 and a GBP:USD exchange rate of 1.32 in each case at market close on 23 June 2026, being the last trading day prior to this announcement, the Combination implies a value of 925 pence for each SEGRO share and values SEGRO's entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital at approximately £12.6 billion, representing:a premium of 24.6 per cent to SEGRO's share price of 742 pence on 23 June 2026 (being the last trading day prior to this announcement);a premium of 26.7 per cent to the 1-month volume weighted average SEGRO share price of 730 pence as of 23 June 2026 (being the last trading day prior to this announcement);a premium of 31.4 per cent to the 3-month volume weighted average SEGRO share price of 704 pence as of 23 June 2026 (being the last trading day prior to this announcement); anda price equal to SEGRO's last reported EPRA NTA* per share of 925 pence as of 31 December 2025Following completion of the Combination, SEGRO shareholders would hold approximately 10.5 per cent of Prologis' issued share capital.Prologis believes that the Combination is a highly compelling opportunity for SEGRO shareholders. SEGRO shareholders would receive shares in the world's largest logistics REIT with a $140.9 billion market capitalisation, unlocking, on closing, significant upside to the current share price.Furthermore, the Combination provides SEGRO shareholders with participation in a global platform with a track record of outperformance across key metrics and the successful integration of major corporate transactions with the delivery of synergies. Prologis believes these factors will provide SEGRO shareholders with accelerated growth compared to the growth available to them in a standalone SEGRO.Prologis believes that its global platform, balance sheet strength and diversified capital base can unlock the significant embedded value of SEGRO's development and data center pipeline.Prologis also believes the Combination would deliver significant benefits to its customers, employees and Prologis shareholders.Clear Strategic Rationale and Value Creation Prologis believes that the Combination has clear strategic rationale and provides SEGRO shareholders with a compelling value proposition:Opportunity to Join Forces with the Global Leader in Logistics Real Estate Combination with Prologis will provide SEGRO shareholders with diversification into global growth marketsSEGRO and Prologis' European portfolios are highly complementary with an expected clear line of sight to scale benefitsResolves Structural Constraints Limiting SEGRO's Growth Potential SEGRO has traded at a persistent discount to its EPRA NTA per share with an average discount to EPRA NTA* of 19 per cent and 17 per cent over the last two years and three years, respectivelyPrologis has superior balance sheet strength with Net Debt / Enterprise Value of 22 per cent versus 37 per cent for SEGRO and Net Debt / Adjusted EBITDA of 4.8x versus 8.4x for SEGROPrologis' access to public equity, debt and private capital will enable Prologis to unlock embedded opportunities for investment for which Prologis believes SEGRO is unable to unlock standalone due to structural constraints, including its balance sheet capacity and trading discountAccelerates Monetisation of SEGRO's Development, Power and Data Center OpportunitiesPrologis anticipates that its platform, balance sheet strength and significant access to capital can unlock the significant embedded value of SEGRO's development and data center pipeline in a way that SEGRO will not be able to do on a standalone basisPrologis has the scale, capital, and execution capabilities to fund and deliver SEGRO's pipelineValue Realisation at a Premium and Enhanced Growth for SEGRO ShareholdersSignificant share price premium while retaining an interest in a stronger combined entityPrologis has outperformed SEGRO on total shareholder return over both 3 and 5 years (37 per cent and 39 per cent, respectively) leading its peer group average and significantly exceeding SEGRO's total shareholder return (3 year: 19 per cent; 5 years: negative 20 per cent.)Prologis' Proven Stewardship of Shareholder Capital and Strong M&A Integration Track Record Prologis' history of achieving cost and revenue synergies underscores the strength of the platform and successful integrationConsistent with this track record, shareholders of the enlarged group can anticipate significant synergies from the CombinationPrologis urges SEGRO shareholders to encourage the SEGRO Board to engage with Prologis to allow a binding offer to be put to SEGRO shareholders for their consideration.There can be no certainty that an offer for SEGRO will be made. A further announcement will be made as appropriate.Important Code NotesIn accordance with Rule 2.6(a) of the Code, Prologis is required, by not later than 5:00 pm (London time) on 22 July 2026, to either announce a firm intention to make an offer for SEGRO in accordance with Rule 2.7 of the Code or announce that it does not intend to make an offer for SEGRO, in which case the announcement will be treated as a statement to which Rule 2.8 of the Code applies.

The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net earnings.We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides relevant and useful information by offering insight into our operating performance before the effects of financing decisions, income taxes, and certain non-cash or non-recurring charges.We calculate Adjusted EBITDA by beginning with consolidated net earnings attributable to common stockholders and removing the effect of:gains or losses from the disposition of investments in real estate (excluding development properties and land);depreciation and amortization expense;impairment charges;interest charges;current and deferred income taxes;preferred stock dividends;unrealized gains or losses on foreign currency and derivatives;stock compensation amortization expense;gains from the revaluation of equity investments upon acquisition of a controlling interest; andgains or losses on early extinguishment of debt and derivative contracts (including cash charges).We also include an adjustment to reflect a full period of NOI on the operating properties we acquire or stabilize during the quarter and to remove NOI on properties we dispose of during the quarter, assuming all transactions occurred at the beginning of the quarter. For properties we contribute, we make an adjustment to reflect NOI at the new ownership percentage for the full quarter.We calculate Adjusted EBITDA based on our proportionate ownership share of both our unconsolidated entities and consolidated ventures. We reflect our share of Adjusted EBITDA measures for unconsolidated entities by applying our average ownership percentage for the period to the applicable adjusting items on an entity-by-entity basis. We reflect our share for consolidated ventures in which we do not own 100% of the equity by removing the noncontrolling interests share of the applicable adjustments based on our average ownership percentage for the applicable periods.While we believe Adjusted EBITDA is an important supplemental measure, it should not be used alone as it excludes significant components of net earnings computed under GAAP and is therefore limited as an analytical tool. We do not use Adjusted EBITDA as an alternative measure to net earnings computed under GAAP or as an alternative to cash from operating activities computed under GAAP or as an indicator of our ability to fund our cash needs. Our computation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to EBITDA reported by other companies in both the real estate industry and other industries. We compensate for the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA by providing investors with financial statements prepared according to GAAP, along with this detailed discussion of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation to Adjusted EBITDA from consolidated net earnings attributable to common stockholders.Business Line Reporting is a non-GAAP financial measure. Core FFO and development gains are generated by our three lines of business: (i) real estate operations; (ii) strategic capital; and (iii) development. The real estate operations line of business represents total Prologis Core FFO, less the amount allocated to the strategic capital line of business. The amount of Core FFO allocated to the strategic capital line of business represents the third-party share of asset management fees and transactional fees that we earn from our consolidated and unconsolidated co-investment ventures less costs directly associated with our strategic capital group and Net Promote Income (Expense). Realized development gains include our share of gains on dispositions of development properties and land, net of taxes. To calculate the per share amount, the amount generated by each line of business is divided by the weighted average diluted common shares outstanding used in our Core FFO per share calculation. Management believes evaluating our results by line of business is a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance because it helps the investing public compare the operating performance of Prologis' respective businesses to other companies' comparable businesses. Prologis' computation of FFO by line of business may not be comparable to that reported by other real estate companies as they may use different methodologies in computing such measures.Calculation of Per Share Amounts

At March 31, 2026, total TEI for yards, parking lots, data centers and non-industrial assets was $2.0 billion on an Owned and Managed and $1.9 billion on a Prologis Share basis. We do not disclose square footage for yards and parking lots.Estimated Value Creation represents the value that we expect to create through our development and leasing activities. We calculate Estimated Value Creation by estimating the Stabilized NOI that the property will generate and applying a stabilized capitalization rate applicable to that property. Estimated Value Creation is calculated as the amount by which the value exceeds our TEI, including closing costs and taxes, if any, and does not include any fees or promotes we may earn. Estimated Weighted Average Margin is calculated on development properties as Estimated Value Creation, less estimated closing costs and taxes, if any, on properties expected to be sold or contributed, divided by TEI.Estimated Weighted Average Stabilized Yield is calculated on the properties in the Development Portfolio as Stabilized NOI divided by TEI. The yields on a Prologis Share basis were as follows:

FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure that is commonly used in the real estate industry, with net earnings as the most directly comparable GAAP measure.The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") defines FFO as earnings computed under GAAP to exclude depreciation and gains and losses from sales net of any related tax, along with impairment charges, of previously depreciated properties. We exclude the gains on revaluation of equity investments upon acquisition of a controlling interest and the gain recognized from a partial sale of our investment, as these are similar to gains from the sales of previously depreciated properties. This measure excludes similar adjustments from our unconsolidated entities and the third parties' share of our consolidated ventures.Our FFO MeasuresOur FFO measures begin with NARElT's definition, with certain adjustments to calculate FFO, as modified by Prologis, and Core FFO, both as defined below, to reflect our business and execution of our management strategy. While these adjustments are subject to significant fluctuations from period to period, with both positive and negative short-term impacts, the removal of the effects of these items enhances our understanding of the core operating performance of our properties over the long term.We use FFO, as modified by Prologis, so that management, analysts and investors are able to evaluate our performance against other REITs that do not have similar operations or operations in jurisdictions outside the U.S. We use both Core FFO and AFFO to (i) assess our operating performance as compared to other real estate companies; (ii) evaluate our performance and the performance of our properties in comparison with expected results and results of previous periods; (iii) evaluate the performance of our management; (iv) budget and forecast future results to assist in the allocation of resources; (v) provide guidance to the financial markets to understand our expected operating performance; and (vi)  evaluate how a specific potential investment will impact our future results.We calculate our FFO measures based on our proportionate ownership share of both our unconsolidated entities and consolidated ventures. We reflect our share of our FFO measures for unconsolidated entities by applying our average ownership percentage for the period to the applicable adjustments on an entity-by-entity basis. We reflect our share for consolidated ventures in which we do not own 100% of the equity by removing the noncontrolling interests share of the applicable adjustments based on our average ownership percentage for the applicable periods.FFO, as modified by PrologisTo arrive at FFO, as modified by Prologis, we adjust the NAREIT defined FFO measure to exclude:deferred income tax benefits and deferred income tax expenses recognized by our subsidiaries;current income tax expense related to acquired tax liabilities that were recorded as deferred tax liabilities in an acquisition, to the extent the expense is offset with a deferred income tax benefit  in earnings that is excluded from our defined FFO measure; andforeign currency exchange gains and losses resulting from (a) debt transactions between us and our foreign entities; (b) third-party debt that is used to hedge our investment in foreign entities; (c) derivative financial instruments related to any such debt transactions; and (d) mark-to-market adjustments associated with derivative and other financial instruments.Core FFOTo arrive at Core FFO, we adjust FFO, as modified by Prologis, to exclude the following:gains or losses from the disposition of land and development properties that were developed with the intent to contribute or sell;income tax expense related to the sale of investments in real estate;impairment charges recognized related to our investments in real estate generally as a result of our change in intent to contribute or sell these properties; andgains or losses from the early extinguishment of debt and redemption and repurchase of preferred stock.AFFOTo arrive at AFFO, we adjust Core FFO to include realized gains from the disposition of land and development properties, net of current tax expense, turnover costs and property improvements and exclude the following items that we recognize directly in Core FFO:straight-line rents;amortization of above- and below-market lease intangibles;amortization of management contracts;amortization of debt premiums and discounts and financing costs, net of amounts capitalized; andstock compensation amortization expense.Limitations on the use of our FFO measuresWhile we believe our modified FFO measures are important supplemental measures, neither NAREIT's nor our measures of FFO should be used alone because they exclude significant components of net earnings computed under GAAP and are, therefore, limited as an analytical tool. Some of these limitations arise from excluding income tax expense that may be payable or depreciation and amortization expenses that reflect costs necessary to maintain operating performance. In addition, our FFO measure does not reflect changes in asset values resulting from fluctuations in market conditions or foreign currency exchange rates nor costs or benefits from settlement of deferred income taxes or the extinguishment of debt. We do not use NAREIT's nor our measures of FFO as alternatives to net earnings computed under GAAP or as alternatives to cash from operating activities computed under GAAP or as indicators of our ability to fund our cash needs.We compensate for the limitations by using our FFO measures only in conjunction with net earnings computed under GAAP when making our decisions. This information should be read with our complete Consolidated Financial Statements prepared under GAAP. To assist investors in compensating for these limitations, we reconcile our modified FFO measures from consolidated net earnings attributable to common stockholders.Guidance. The following is a reconciliation of our annual guided Net Earnings per share to our guided Core FFO per share:
Low HighNet earnings attributable to common stockholders (a)$ 3.80$   4.05Our share of:

(a)Earnings guidance includes potential future gains recognized from real estate transactions, but excludes future foreign currency or derivative gains or losses as these items are difficult to predict.Market Capitalization equals Market Equity, less liquidation preference of the preferred shares/units, plus our share of total debt.Net Promote Income (Expense) is promote revenue earned from third-party investors during the period, net of related cash and stock compensation expenses, and taxes and foreign currency derivative gains and losses, if applicable.Operating Portfolio represents industrial properties in our Owned and Managed portfolio that have reached Stabilization. Assets held for sale, Non-Strategic Assets and non-industrial assets are excluded from the portfolio. NOI of our Operating Portfolio excludes net termination fees and adjustments. Prologis Share of NOI includes NOI for the properties contributed to or acquired from co-investment ventures at our actual share prior to and subsequent to change in ownership. The U.S. markets not presented consist of Austin, Charlotte, Columbus, Denver, Louisville, Portland, Raleigh-Durham, Reno, San Antonio, Savannah and Tampa. The European countries not presented consist of Belgium, Czech Republic, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Slovakia, Spain and Sweden.Owned and Managed represents the consolidated properties as well as properties owned by our unconsolidated co-investment ventures, which we manage.Prologis Share represents our proportionate economic ownership of each entity, or property included in our total Owned and Managed portfolio, whether consolidated or unconsolidated.Rent Change (Cash) represents the percentage change in starting rental rates per the lease agreement, on new and renewed leases, commenced during the period compared with the previous ending rental rates in that same space. This measure excludes any short-term leases of less than one-year, holdover payments, free rent periods and introductory (teaser rates) defined as 50% or less of the stabilized rate.Rent Change (Net Effective) represents the percentage change in net effective rental rates (average rate over the lease term), on new and renewed leases, commenced during the period compared with the previous net effective rental rates for the same respective spaces. This measure excludes any short-term leases of less than one year and holdover payments.Retention is the square footage of all leases commenced during the period that are rented by existing tenants divided by the square footage of all expiring leases during the reporting period. The square footage of tenants that default or buy-out prior to expiration of their lease and short-term leases of less than one year, are not included in the calculation.Same Store. Our same store metrics are non-GAAP financial measures, which are commonly used in the real estate industry and expected from the financial community, on both a net effective and cash basis. We evaluate the performance of the operating properties we own and manage using a "same store" analysis because the population of properties in this analysis is consistent from period to period, which allows us and investors to analyze our ongoing business operations. We determine our same store metrics on property NOI, which is calculated as rental revenue less rental expense for the applicable properties in the same store population for both consolidated and unconsolidated properties based on our ownership interest, as further defined below.We define our same store population for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as the properties in our Owned and Managed Operating Portfolio, including the property NOI for both consolidated properties and properties owned by the unconsolidated co-investment ventures at January 1, 2025 and owned throughout the same three-month period in both 2025 and 2026.We believe the drivers of property NOI for the consolidated portfolio are generally the same for the properties owned by the ventures in which we invest and therefore we evaluate the same store metrics of the Owned and Managed portfolio based on Prologis' ownership in the properties ("Prologis Share").The same store population excludes properties held for sale to third parties, along with development properties that were not stabilized at the beginning of the period (January 1, 2025) and properties acquired or disposed of to third parties during the periods. To derive an appropriate measure of period- to-period operating performance, we remove the effects of foreign currency exchange rate movements by using the reported period-end exchange rate to translate from local currency into the U.S dollar, for both periods.As non-GAAP financial measures, the same store metrics have certain limitations as an analytical tool and may vary among real estate companies. As a result, we provide a reconciliation of Rental Revenues less Rental Expenses ("Property NOI") (from our Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with U.S GAAP) to our Same Store Property NOI measures, as follows:

(a) We exclude properties held for sale to third parties, along with development properties that were not stabilized at the beginning of the periods and properties acquired or disposed of to third parties during the periods. We also exclude one-time items due to early lease terminations, including termination fees received from customers and the write-off of related lease assets and liabilities, that are not indicative of the property's recurring operating performance in order to evaluate the growth or decline in each property's rental revenues. Same Store Property NOI is adjusted to include an allocation of property management expenses for our consolidated properties based on the property management services provided to each property (generally, based on a percentage of revenues). On consolidation, these amounts are eliminated and the actual costs of providing property management and leasing services are recognized as part of our consolidated rental expense.(b)We include the Property NOI for the same store portfolio for both consolidated properties and properties owned by the co-investment ventures based on our investment in the underlying properties. In order to calculate our share of Same Store Property NOI from the co-investment ventures in which we own less than 100%, we use the co-investment ventures' underlying Property NOI for the same store portfolio and apply our ownership percentage at March 31, 2026 to the Property NOI for both periods, including the properties contributed during the periods. We adjust the total Property NOI from the same store portfolio of the co-investment ventures by subtracting the third parties' share of both consolidated and unconsolidated co-investment ventures. During the periods presented, certain wholly owned properties were contributed to a co-investment venture and are included in the same store portfolio. Neither our consolidated results nor those of the co-investment ventures, when viewed individually, would be comparable on a same store basis because of the changes in composition of the respective portfolios from period to period (e.g. the results of a contributed property are included in our consolidated results through the contribution date and in the results of the venture subsequent to the contribution date based on our ownership interest at the end of the period). As a result, only line items labeled "Prologis Share of Same Store Property NOI" are comparable period over period.(c)We further remove certain noncash items (straight-line rent and fair value lease amortization) included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP to reflect a Same Store Property NOI - Cash measure.
We manage our business and compensate our executives based on the same store results of our Owned and Managed portfolio at 100% as we manage our portfolio on an ownership blind basis. We calculate those results by including 100% of the properties included in our same store portfolio.Stabilization is defined as the earlier of when a property that was developed has been completed for one year, is contributed to a co-investment venture following completion or is 90% occupied. Upon Stabilization, a property is moved into our Operating Portfolio.Total Expected Investment ("TEI") represents total estimated cost of development or expansion, including land, development and leasing costs. TEI is based on current projections and is subject to change.Weighted Average Interest Rate is based on the effective rate, which includes the amortization of related premiums and discounts and finance costs.Weighted Average Stabilized Capitalization ("Cap") Rate is calculated as Stabilized NOI divided by the Acquisition Price.

Un portefeuille initial de 1 G€ dans des actifs logistiques en France, en Allemagne, aux Pays-Bas, en Suède et au Royaume-Uni marquera le lancement de la coentreprise.La Caisse détiendra une participation de 70 %, tandis que Prologis agira en tant que partenaire d'exploitation et apportera son expertise en gestion d'actifs et en développement.La plateforme prendra de l'expansion au moyen d'acquisitions et d'un développement rigoureux au sein des principaux marchés logistiques d'Europe.MONTRÉAL et SAN FRANCISCO, le 9 avril 2026 /CNW/ - La Caisse (anciennement CDPQ), un groupe mondial d'investissement, et Prologis, inc. (NYSE: PLD) annoncent aujourd'hui une entente visant la création de Prologis Logistics Investment Venture Europe (PLIVE), une nouvelle coentreprise paneuropéenne visant l'acquisition, le développement et l'exploitation de propriétés logistiques de grande qualité.La Caisse et Prologis détiendront respectivement une participation de 70 % et 30 %, les droits de gouvernance étant partagés entre les partenaires. Prologis apportera une expertise spécialisée en gestion d'actifs et en développement à titre de partenaire opérationnel de la plateforme.Le portefeuille initial de PLIVE offrira une envergure immédiate dans les principaux corridors logistiques européens, tout en constituant une assise solide pour une croissance disciplinée, portée par la demande. Le projet s'inscrit dans le prolongement d'un partenariat établi entre les deux sociétés depuis 2019, année où elles ont formé une première coentreprise logistique au Brésil.Avec un actif de démarrage d'environ 1 G€ (1,6 G$ CA), la plateforme regroupe dans un premier temps des immeubles générateurs de revenus ainsi que des sites en développement provenant des deux partenaires. L'ensemble représente environ 844 000 mètres carrés d'espaces logistiques de catégorie A répartis en France, en Allemagne, aux Pays-Bas, en Suède et au Royaume-Uni.« Nous avons constaté d'emblée l'expertise de pointe de Prologis et sa capacité à générer des rendements grâce à notre partenariat au Brésil, et nous misons sur la complémentarité de nos forces pour cette nouvelle plateforme paneuropéenne pleinement intégrée. Cette coentreprise conjugue l'expertise opérationnelle approfondie de Prologis et notre vision de transformer activement les actifs afin de créer de la valeur à long terme », a déclaré Rana Ghorayeb, première vice-présidente et cheffe de l'Immobilier à La Caisse. « Ensemble, nous accroîtrons notre exposition au secteur européen de la logistique, renforcerons notre capacité d'exécution et maximiserons la performance et l'envergure de notre portefeuille logistique. »« Notre partenariat avec La Caisse repose sur de nombreuses années de collaboration et de résultats concrets », a déclaré Ted Eliopoulos, directeur général, Capital stratégique, chez Prologis. « Ensemble, nous étendons ce succès en Europe, en combinant des capitaux à long terme à notre plateforme opérationnelle pour étendre des actifs logistiques de grande qualité dans des marchés d'importance. »Les partenaires prévoient d'élargir la plateforme par des acquisitions et des projets de développement dans les principaux corridors logistiques européens, en s'appuyant sur la plateforme d'approvisionnement, de développement et d'exploitation de Prologis.Bien que PLIVE bénéficie d'un bassin commun d'occasions d'investissement, Prologis assumera la gestion des propriétés, notamment la location et le développement, tandis que les principales décisions stratégiques et financières seront prises conjointement. Cette annonce illustre la confiance des deux partenaires à l'égard des paramètres fondamentaux à long terme du secteur logistique européen, à l'heure où les entreprises redéfinissent leurs chaînes d'approvisionnement mondiales, rapprochent la production de leurs marchés domestiques et poursuivent leurs investissements dans le commerce électronique.La clôture de la transaction devrait survenir au deuxième trimestre de 2026, sous réserve des conditions de clôture habituelles et des approbations réglementaires.Goldman Sachs & Co.

Prologis and GIC Form $1.6 billion U.S. Build-to-Suit Logistics Joint VentureMarch 19, 2026 8:30 AM
PR Newswire (US)

Partnership to Fund Build-to-Suit Distribution Projects Across Major U.S. MarketsSAN FRANCISCO and SINGAPORE, March 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Prologis, Inc. (NYSE: PLD) and GIC, a leading global institutional investor, have formed a $1.6 billion joint venture to develop and own build-to-suit logistics facilities across major U.S. markets, the companies announced today.The new venture includes $1.6 billion in combined capital commitments, which includes an initial portfolio of approximately 4.1 million square feet with additional capacity for future investments. Prologis is the world's largest logistics real estate company, with 1.3 billion square feet of properties in 20 countries and $230 billion of assets under management."Build-to-suit activity continues to be one of the clearest signals of customer conviction across our business," said Daniel S. Letter, chief executive officer of Prologis. "This joint venture with GIC builds on that momentum by pairing our platform and development expertise with a partner that shares our long-term perspective."The venture combines Prologis' development and operating platform with long-term institutional capital and will operate within Prologis Strategic Capital, the company's asset management business. It is designed to scale with demand as customer commitments are secured."With strong e-commerce growth, the re-shoring of supply chains and resilient consumer spending, industrial remains a strong long-term investment theme in North America," said Goh Chin Kiong, chief investment officer of Real Estate, GIC. "Our partnership with Prologis, a best-in-class operator, reflects our shared conviction in the sector and likeminded approach to deploying capital with discipline across cycles."Long-Term Leases and Custom Design Drive Build-to-Suit Demand
Build-to-suit development has become a larger share of Prologis' pipeline as customers make long-term commitments to distribution networks and operations. In 2025, the company started $3.1 billion in development projects, with build-to-suit accounting for more than 60% of those starts.Build-to-suit has proven resilient as customers prioritize certainty around location, functionality and long-term occupancy. Facilities are increasingly designed to support automation, high throughput and proximity to end markets, which makes purpose-built development a practical solution for supply chains that keep evolving.For institutional investors, build-to-suit also offers a distinct risk profile. These projects are typically pre-leased and built for long-term use, often supported by customers that view the facility as mission-critical to their network.The joint venture reinforces Prologis Strategic Capital as a growth platform, enabling Prologis to invest alongside institutional partners while bringing its development, operating and customer capabilities to each partnership.About Prologis Strategic Capital

ProLogis Intends to Increase Ownership Stake in ProLogis European Properties

DENVER, Feb. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

ProLogis (NYSE:PLD), a leading global provider of distribution facilities, announced today that it intends to purchase additional Ordinary Units carrying voting rights of ProLogis European Properties, a Luxembourg closed-ended investment fund (Euronext: PEPR), in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. ProLogis currently holds approximately 24.8 percent of PEPR's outstanding Ordinary Units.

"In our view, PEPR's Unit price does not fully reflect the significant progress made over the past 14 months to manage through the downturn," said Walter C. Rakowich, ProLogis chief executive officer. "During this time, we have worked diligently to strengthen PEPR's financial condition, maintain PEPR's strong occupancy and optimize the earnings power of its high quality assets. We will continue to manage PEPR in a way that maximizes value, and we intend to increase our ownership, as we believe PEPR Units represent an attractive investment opportunity for ProLogis."

At this time, ProLogis does not intend to increase its equity ownership of PEPR beyond 33.33 percent of Ordinary Units carrying voting rights, a level which would trigger a mandatory tender offer for the remaining PEPR Units under Luxembourg law.

ProLogis Reports Fourth Quarter/Year-end 2009 Results

- Full-year FFO per Share in Line with Previous Guidance - - Property Market Fundamentals Showing Signs of Improvement - - Company Establishes 2010 Guidance -

DENVER, Feb. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

ProLogis (NYSE:PLD), a leading global provider of distribution facilities, today reported funds from operations as defined by ProLogis (FFO), excluding significant non-cash items, of $1.15 per diluted share in 2009, compared with $3.51 for 2008. (See Summary of Results table for details). These amounts reflect the add back of impairments on real estate properties, goodwill and other assets totaling $0.81 per diluted share in 2009 and $3.01 in 2008. ProLogis reported a net loss per diluted share of $0.01 for 2009, compared with a net loss of $1.82 for 2008.

For the fourth quarter, FFO, excluding significant non-cash items, was $0.13 per diluted share in 2009, compared with $0.56 in 2008. These amounts reflect the add back of impairments on real estate properties, goodwill and other assets totaling $0.78 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2009 and $3.04 in 2008. For the fourth quarter of 2009, the company reported a net loss per diluted share of $0.86, compared with a net loss of $3.39 in the same period of 2008.

Reconciliation to Previous Guidance

In addition to the non-cash impairment charges referred to above, the company experienced various non-recurring charges in the fourth quarter and earlier in 2009, as detailed below. FFO, excluding significant non-cash items and non-recurring charges, was $1.41 per diluted share for the full year, in line with the company's previous guidance of $1.39 to $1.43. For the fourth quarter, FFO, excluding significant non-cash items and non-recurring charges, was $0.23 per diluted share.

Three Months Twelve Months Ended Ended December 31, December 31, 2009 2009 ---- ----

FFO, excluding significant non-cash items $0.13 $1.15 Add (deduct) non-recurring charges: Indemnifications related to contributed or sold properties 0.08 0.09 Realized losses on foreign currency transactions - 0.05 Capital markets costs 0.03 0.04 ProLogis' share of losses on sale of fund assets - 0.03 Reduction in workforce - 0.03 Other 0.01 0.04 Adjustments to tax and compensation-related liabilities (0.02) (0.02) ---- ---- Add summarized non-recurring charges 0.10 0.26 ---- ---- FFO, excluding significant non-cash items and non-recurring charges $0.23 $1.41

Significant Accomplishments in 2009 Position Company for Future Opportunities

"We began 2009 with an action plan and aggressive goals related to asset dispositions, debt reduction and development portfolio leasing," said Walter C. Rakowich, chief executive officer. "Throughout the year, we made tough choices and remained highly focused on stabilizing the company. We are pleased to have accomplished our goals, putting the company on firm financial footing and positioning us to take advantage of opportunities as market conditions improve."

Among ProLogis' specific goals for 2009 were to: reduce debt by $2 billion, complete $1.5 to $1.7 billion of asset dispositions and contributions to property funds (exclusive of the sale of certain Asian operations) and achieve static development portfolio leasing of 60 to 70 percent. At year end 2009, the company had reduced debt by $2.7 billion, completed $1.53 billion of property dispositions and contributions and achieved static development portfolio leasing of 68.2 percent.

Continued Signs of Stabilization and Improvement in Property Markets

"While focusing on our action plan, we also worked diligently to maintain stable occupancies in our core portfolio," Rakowich added. "The bottoming of market occupancies and rents that we began to see in mid-2009 held up in the fourth quarter, with some markets showing improvement. For the top 31 North American markets we track, overall net demand turned positive in the fourth quarter, and we saw similar pockets of positive take-up in Europe. And, although we expect net effective rental rates on turnovers to be negative throughout 2010, we believe improving occupancies and the continued lack of new supply will pave the way for improving rental rates in 2011."

ProLogis' non-development portfolio was 92.4 percent leased at the end of the fourth quarter, down slightly compared with 92.7 percent leased at September 30. Same-store net operating income (SS NOI), as adjusted (excluding same-store assets associated with the company's development portfolio), decreased 4.2 percent, a slight improvement over the third quarter SS NOI decline. Net effective rental rates on turnover of 23.6 million square feet, or 6.0 percent of the adjusted same-store pool, were down 11.7 percent for the quarter, representing an improvement over the third quarter decline.

Build-to-Suit Development Demand Supports Reductions in Land Position

"While new speculative development has remained virtually non-existent, during the fourth quarter we continued to see demand for build-to-suit development from customers whose supply chain optimization requirements could not be met with the available supply of space," said Ted R. Antenucci, chief investment officer. ProLogis' fourth quarter starts consisted of a 667,000-square-foot facility for a major home improvement retailer in Southern California and a 504,000-square-foot facility for a leading UK retailer in Scotland. Including joint venture partner capital contributions, total expected investment for all build-to-suit developments started in the second half of 2009 is $336 million.

"Given the continued interest from customers in build-to-suits, we expect to start $700 to $800 million of new development in 2010, primarily in Europe and Asia. We also will continue to pursue land sales, which when combined with new development, will allow us to begin to monetize roughly $350 to $400 million of land in 2010," Antenucci added.

Strategic Repositioning of Asset Base

"In 2009, we used the proceeds from nearly $2.9 billion of contributions and dispositions, including the sale of certain Asian operations, to reduce debt and fund our development portfolio," said Rakowich. "Having stabilized our balance sheet, we are now looking to fund new development activity in a slightly different, leverage-neutral manner. Due to improving property values and growing institutional demand for quality properties, in 2010 we plan to generate $1.3 to $1.5 billion of proceeds from sales of existing assets and contributions to funds, primarily in the United States, and use the proceeds to fund the remaining costs associated with our existing development portfolio as well as 2010 development starts. This approach will allow us to retain more of our non-US development on our balance sheet, thereby improving the geographic diversification of our direct owned assets."

Continued Financing Progress for ProLogis and Property Funds

"We continued to focus on further extending and smoothing the debt maturities both on ProLogis' balance sheet and in our property funds," said William E. Sullivan, chief financial officer. "In the fourth quarter, we issued $600 million of 10-year, ProLogis senior notes and closed on a $108 million secured financing in Japan on our balance sheet. Since the beginning of the fourth quarter, we closed on euro 886 million of financings in our European funds, effectively reducing 2010 maturities within those funds to approximately euro 327 million. This is significant progress from the over euro 1.8 billion of 2010 fund debt maturities we were faced with at the beginning of 2009."

Guidance for 2010

ProLogis established full-year 2010 FFO guidance, excluding significant non-cash items, of $0.74 to $0.78 per share, of which approximately $0.10 relates to expected gains on dispositions of development and land. Net earnings are expected to be between $0.25 and $0.29 per diluted share. A summary of the business drivers supporting ProLogis' 2010 guidance is available at http://ir.prologis.com/2010BusinessDrivers.cfm.

Copies of ProLogis' fourth quarter 2009 supplemental information will be available from the company's website at http://ir.prologis.com/ in the "Annual & Supplemental Reports" section before open of market on Thursday, February 11, 2010.

ProLogis Closes on Euro 622 Million of Financings for European Property Funds

Stock : Prologis (PLD)

http://ih.advfn.com/p.php?pid=nmona&article=41213801&symbol=PLD

DENVER, Jan. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

ProLogis (NYSE:PLD), a leading global provider of distribution facilities, announced today that over the past four weeks it has completed four financings for its European property funds, totaling euro 622 million. The four financings have a weighted average coupon of 4.91 percent

Three, four-year financings, resulting in euro 441 million of funding, were completed for ProLogis European Properties (Euronext: PEPR). They have loan-to-value ratios of between 50 and 55 percent and are secured by assets located in Germany, Belgium, France, Italy, Spain, Poland and the United Kingdom. The largest component of these financings is a euro 300 million Pan-European, syndicated loan with six European lenders, arranged by Goldman Sachs, which was one of the largest loans of this kind done in the European real estate sector since 2008

ProLogis also completed a euro 181 million financing for ProLogis European Properties Fund II, the largest single-lender mortgage financing completed in Europe since the fall of 2008. This financing is secured by 22 assets in France and has a loan-to-value ratio of 60 percent

"With these financings, we have reduced 2010 maturities within the two funds to under euro 336 million - significant progress from the euro 1.8 billion we were faced with as of December 31, 2008. With the capital transactions in progress and available liquidity within the funds, we are comfortable with our ability to address the remaining maturities in the near future," said William E. Sullivan, ProLogis' chief financial officer. "The European financing market continues to demonstrate its diversity and resilience, as we are able to complete transactions with a wide spectrum of lenders at attractive rates."

Stocks fall as Obama calls for tougher bank rules

Stocks slide anew as Obama calls for tighter restrictions on some trading by banks

Stephen Bernard and Tim Paradis, AP Business Writers,
On Thursday January 21, 2010, 12:08 pm EST
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Stocks-fall-as-Obama-calls-apf-1512287612.html;_ylt=ArFaJECrqfyx6R5QIp67fdG7YWsA_ylu=X3oDMTE1NG43dGc2BHBvcwMzBHNlYwN0b3BTdG9yaWVzBHNsawNzdG9ja3NzZWV3b3I-?x=0&sec=topStories&pos=1&asset=&ccode=

NEW YORK (AP) -- Financial shares pulled the stock market lower Thursday as President Barack Obama proposed rules that would limit the types of trading banks can do with their money.

The Dow Jones industrial average tumbled 200 points after dropping 122 points on Wednesday. The index has seen four straight triple-digit swings. Bond prices rose as the stock market became more volatile.

Tightening the rules on how big banks trade their money could hurt profits at those companies.

Broader concerns also dogged investors. Patrick Galley, chief investment officer at RiverNorth Capital in Chicago, said stocks have risen so fast in the past 10 months that expectations about an economic recovery are getting too high.

"The market can be quite fickle just because of the huge run-up that we've had," he said. "A lot of folks have their trigger finger on the sell button if they start to sense that news won't meet expectations."

The market was mixed earlier as good earnings news was tempered by an unexpected jump in initial jobless claims. But banks, which have driven the market over the past year and a half, were the focus by late morning.

The Labor Department said workers filing for unemployment benefits for the first time rose by 36,000 to 482,000 last week. Economists polled by Thomson Reuters were expecting a small drop. The four-week average rose for the first time since August.

The report provided a grim reminder that while the economy might have improved modestly, a robust recovery is unlikely until companies start adding jobs. The unemployment rate remained at 10 percent last month.

Traders said weakness in manufacturing also brought concern that the economy might not be recovering as quickly as hoped. The Philadelphia Federal Reserve said manufacturing in its region fell in January from December. Its index of regional manufacturing conditions fell to 15.2 from a revised 22.5 last month.

In midday trading, the Dow fell 204.58, or 1.9 percent, to 10,398.57. The broader Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 19.31, or 1.7 percent, to 1,118.73. The Nasdaq composite index fell 27.50, or 1.2 percent, to 2,263.75.

Stocks had tumbled on Wednesday after China said it would curb bank lending to slow down its economy. The latest sign of China's supercharged growth came out on Thursday as the country reported 10.7 percent economic expansion in the fourth quarter and 8.7 percent for all of last year. The rapid growth reinforced concerns that China will take more steps to tighten monetary policy and rein in its economy, which could dampen a global economic rebound.

Bond prices jumped as the stock market fell. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which moves opposite its price, fell to 3.62 percent from 3.65 percent late Wednesday.

The dollar rose against other major currencies, while gold fell. A rise in the dollar hurt commodity prices, which become more expensive for foreign buyers when the dollar strengthens.

Crude oil fell 90 cents to $76.84 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies fell 10.93, or 1.7 percent, to 628.68.

Four stocks fell for every one that rose on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 586.8 million shares compared with 473.6 million shares traded at the same point Wednesday.

Britain's FTSE 100 fell 1.5 percent, Germany's DAX index lost 1.8 percent, and France's CAC-40 fell 1.7 percent. Earlier, Japan's Nikkei stock average rose 1.2 percent.

ProLogis Announces 4.0 Million Square Feet of Fourth Quarter Global Development Portfolio Leasing Activity

- Global Static Development Portfolio Now 68.2 Percent Leased -

DENVER, Jan. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

ProLogis (NYSE:PLD), a leading global provider of distribution facilities, announced today that its static global development portfolio was 68.2 percent leased as of year-end 2009

"Roughly one year ago, we set a goal to achieve a leased percentage of 60 - 70 percent by year-end 2009 for our development portfolio properties in place as of the end of 2008, or what we have called our static portfolio," said Walt Rakowich, chief executive officer. "We are pleased to have reached the upper end of that goal and are encouraged by continued leasing activity and customer demand. At a time when little development is coming online, ProLogis' best-in-class development inventory provides immediate solutions for our customers' distribution space needs."

ProLogis Closes Japanese Financing

By: Zacks Equity Research
December 23, 2009
http://www.zacks.com/stock/news/28621/ProLogis+Closes+Japanese+Financing

ProLogis (PLD - Snapshot Report), one of the leading global providers of distribution facilities, recently completed a $113 million (10 billion yen) financing to repay its debt. The financing was obtained through a "tokutei mokuteki kaisha" (TMK), a tax-favored, special-purpose vehicle created in Japan for acquiring and holding Japanese assets. Secured by real estate assets, the TMK issues corporate bonds, which can be bought by Japanese and non-Japanese investors.

The financing has a maturity period of three years and is collateralized by ProLogis Parc Osaka II, a multi-tenant facility that is over 95% leased and located in Osaka, Japan. Proceeds from the financing were used to pay down the global lines of credit.

ProLogis owns and manages interests in over 2,500 distribution facilities spanning 475 million square feet (including properties under development) of space. In response to the economic realities of constrained credit and rapidly deteriorating industrial real estate fundamentals, ProLogis has stopped all new development starts and early-stage developments. The company is currently concentrating on increasing its liquidity and de-leveraging its balance sheet.

With the financing agreement, ProLogis has displayed the unique strength of its large and diversified unencumbered asset base. Shares are now attractively valued relative to peer group averages and underlying NAV. We think the company has done an adequate job of addressing debt maturities and will be able to tide over the credit crunch.
