Prologis is offering to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of notes in the Maximum Tender Offer that it can purchase (including accrued interest) for up to the positive difference (if any) between $500 million and the total consideration that is paid (including accrued interest) for the notes purchased through the Any and All Tender Offer. If the aggregate purchase price for the notes accepted for purchase in the Any and All Tender Offer (including accrued interest) equals or exceeds $500 million, then the Maximum Tender Offer will be terminated and no Maximum Tender Notes will be accepted for purchase. The acceptance of any tendered notes subject to the Maximum Tender Offer may be subject to proration, as described in the Offer to Purchase.
The Any and All Tender Offer is scheduled to expire at 11:59 pm, New York City (NYC) time, on August 14, 2013 (the "Any and All Expiration Time"), unless extended or earlier terminated by Prologis at its sole discretion. Holders of notes subject to the Any and All Tender Offer must validly tender and not validly withdraw their notes at or prior to the Any and All Expiration Time to be eligible to receive the applicable total consideration (as described below).
The Maximum Tender Offer is scheduled to expire at 11:59 pm, NYC time, on September 5, 2013, (the "Maximum Tender Expiration Time") unless extended or earlier terminated by Prologis, at its sole discretion. Holders of notes subject to the Maximum Tender Offer must validly tender and not validly withdraw their notes at or prior to 5:00 pm, NYC time, on August 21, 2013 (the "Early Tender Time"), unless extended or earlier terminated by Prologis at its sole discretion, to be eligible to receive the applicable total consideration, which includes an early tender payment, outlined in the table above. Holders of notes subject to the Maximum Tender Offer who tender their notes after the Early Tender Time and at or prior to the Maximum Tender Expiration Time, will be eligible to receive the applicable tender offer consideration, which is the total consideration minus the early tender payment, outlined in the table above. The applicable total consideration or tender offer consideration will only be paid to holders of tendered notes that are subject to the Maximum Tender Offer to the extent that Prologis accepts such notes for purchase. Holders of notes subject to the Maximum Tender Offer may not withdraw their tendered notes after the Early Tender Time, subject to applicable law.
The total consideration for each $1,000 principal amount of notes validly tendered and accepted for payment pursuant to the Tender Offers will be determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to a fixed spread specified for each series of notes over the yield based on the bid side price of the U.S. Treasury Security specified for each series of notes on the front page of the Offer to Purchase or in the table above, as calculated by the dealer managers at 2:00 pm NYC time on August 14, 2013, for the Any and All Tender Offer, and 2:00 pm NYC time on August 22, 2013, for the Maximum Tender Offer. In addition to the total consideration or the tender offer consideration, as applicable, accrued and unpaid interest on the purchased notes will be paid from the applicable last interest payment date to, but not including, the applicable settlement date for such purchased notes.
The applicable settlement dates for the Tender Offers will follow promptly after the applicable expiration times.
The Dealer Managers for the Tender Offers are Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Goldman, Sachs & Co. Questions regarding the Tender Offers may be directed to Citigroup at 800-558-3745 (toll-free) or 212-723-6106 (collect); or Goldman Sachs at 800-828-3182 (toll-free) and 212-902-5183 (collect). Copies of the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal may be obtained from the Information Agent, Global Bondholder Services Corporation at 866-470-4200 (toll-free) or 212-430-3774 (collect) or in writing at 65 Broadway, Suite 404, New York, NY 10006.
The Tender Offers are subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal, including a financing condition. If any of the conditions are not satisfied, Prologis will not be obligated to accept for payment, purchase or pay for, and may delay the acceptance for payment of, any tendered notes, in each event subject to applicable laws and may terminate the Tender Offers. The Tender Offers are not conditioned on the tender of a minimum principal amount of notes. Prologis is not soliciting consents from holder of notes in connection with the Tender Offers.
This press release is neither an offer to purchase, nor a solicitation of an offer to sell the notes or any other securities. Prologis is making the Tender Offers only by, and pursuant to, the terms of the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal. The Tender Offers are not being made in any jurisdiction in which the making of or acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the securities laws, blue sky laws or other laws of such jurisdiction. None of Prologis, the Dealer Managers, the Depositary or the Information Agent make any recommendation as to whether holders should tender or refrain from tendering their notes. Holders must make their own decision as to whether to tender notes and, if so, the principal amount of the notes to tender.
