Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On May 25, 2011, ProLogis settled on its mandatory tender offer for all of the ordinary and
convertible preferred units of ProLogis European Properties, a Luxembourg closed-ended investment
fund (Euronext/Amsterdam: PEPR, hereafter “PEPR”), managed by an affiliate of ProLogis. Pursuant
to the tender offer and open-market purchases made during the tender period, ProLogis acquired
96,547,538 ordinary units and 2,728,161 convertible preferred units for an aggregate purchase price
of approximately €615.5 million ($865.9 million). ProLogis funded the purchases through borrowings
under its Global Line of Credit and a €500 million bridge facility from J.P. Morgan Europe Limited,
as administrative agent, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., London Branch, as a lender. Following the
tender offer, ProLogis owns an aggregate of 170,661,111 ordinary units and 9,744,017 convertible
preferred units. Based on information published by PEPR as to the total number of PEPR ordinary and
convertible preferred units in issue, this holding will represent directly or indirectly 89.58% of
PEPR’s ordinary units and 94.62% of PEPR’s convertible preferred units. The financial results of
PEPR will be consolidated with those of ProLogis.
