Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 11, 2009, ProLogis completed an offering of $350 million aggregate
principal amount of its 7.625% notes due 2014 (the "Notes"). In connection with
the offering, ProLogis entered into an Underwriting Agreement, dated August 11,
2009, with J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Barclays Capital Inc., Morgan Stanley &
Co. Incorporated and RBS Securities Inc., as representatives of the several
underwriters named in Schedule A thereto (the "Underwriters"), pursuant to which
ProLogis agreed to sell and the Underwriters severally agreed to purchase,
subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth therein, $350 million
aggregate principal amount of the Notes. A copy of the Underwriting Agreement
has been filed as an exhibit to this report and is incorporated herein by
reference.
The offering of the Notes is expected to close on August 14, 2009. The net
proceeds to ProLogis from the sale of the Notes, after the underwriters'
discount and offering expenses, are estimated to be approximately
$345.3 million. ProLogis intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of
the Notes for the repayment of borrowings under its global line of credit and
for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment or repurchase of
other indebtedness. Affiliates of certain of the Underwriters are lenders under
ProLogis's global line of credit and therefore will receive proceeds from the
offering to the extent that proceeds are used to repay borrowings under the
global line of credit.
The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 7.625% per annum and mature on
August 15, 2014.
The Notes are subject to the Registration Statement (File No. 333-157818)
that ProLogis filed with the SEC relating to the public offering from time to
time of securities of ProLogis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended. In connection with ProLogis filing with the SEC a definitive
prospectus supplement, dated August 11, 2009, and prospectus, dated March 10,
2009, relating to the public offering of the Notes, ProLogis is filing certain
exhibits to such Registration Statement as part of its Current Report on Form
8-K. See "Item 9.01 - Financial Statements and Exhibits."
This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell, or a
solicitation of an offer to buy, any security and shall not constitute an offer,
solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or
sale would be unlawful.
