Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
• ProLogis' interest in five China joint ventures and one property fund, of which the company's share aggregates 4.4 msf with a total investment of $184 million (including a remaining funding requirement of $32 million for properties under development) that were 69.0 percent leased;
• A 30 percent interest in SZITIC CP, a retail joint venture, with a book value of $53 million; and
• 713 acres of land with a carrying value of $213 million.
In Japan, ProLogis will sell its 20 percent interests in the Japan funds that
own 27.1 msf of properties, including fourth quarter 2008 contributions, to GIC
RE, which already owns an 80 percent stake. ProLogis has a current investment of
$348 million in these funds. In addition to the proceeds from this transaction,
ProLogis will receive 12.6 billion yen ($140 million) from the sale of a 637,000
square-foot building in Japan from its development pipeline to GIC RE. The sale
of this facility, which is expected to close in the first quarter of 2009, will
satisfy the remainder of GIC RE's equity commitment to ProLogis Japan Fund II.
ProLogis will retain the following assets in Japan (all figures as of
September 30, 2008, updated for fourth quarter contributions and removing
previous starts that were halted during the quarter):
• 4.5 msf of facilities completed and currently in lease up with a total
investment of $687 million that were 43.7 percent leased;
• 4.2 msf of facilities under development with a total expected investment of $681 million (including a remaining funding requirement of $194 million) that were 2.6 percent leased; and
• 64 acres of land with a carrying value of $173 million.
In November, ProLogis announced a series of immediate, definitive actions and
outlined a strategic plan to reduce debt, de-risk the development pipeline and
right-size the company. This transaction, together with a number of other
initiatives announced in recent weeks, accelerates that plan and provides the
Company with significant liquidity.
