SAN FRANCISCO and WAYNE, Pa., Jan. 23,
2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Prologis, Inc. (NYSE: PLD; "Prologis")
and Liberty Property Trust (NYSE: LPT; "Liberty") today announced
early results from the offers to exchange outstanding notes (the
"Liberty Notes") of the two series described in the table below
issued by Liberty Property Limited Partnership ("Liberty OP") for
corresponding notes of two series to be issued by Prologis, L.P.
("Prologis OP," and such notes the "Prologis Notes") in the
aggregate principal amount of $750
million. As of 5:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on
January 23, 2020 (the "Early
Expiration Date") and as indicated in the table below, $373,514,000 aggregate principal amount of the
2026 Notes and $311,010,000 aggregate
principal amount of the 2029 Notes had been validly tendered for
exchange (and not validly withdrawn), such that the requisite
consents applicable to each series of Liberty Notes to adopt the
Proposed Amendments (as defined below) have been received (such
consents may not be revoked after the Early Expiration Date by the
terms and conditions of the exchange offers and consent
solicitations as described in the corresponding prospectus). In
light of having received the requisite consents to modify the terms
of the Liberty Notes (the "Proposed Amendments"), the Proposed
Amendments to the indenture (such indenture, as amended and
supplemented, the "Liberty Indenture") governing the Liberty Notes
will be adopted, assuming the merger with Liberty is completed. The
following table shows the principal amount of each such series
tendered by the Early Expiration Date.
The exchange offers and the solicitation of consents are being
made under terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the
prospectus contained in the registration statement on Form S-4
filed by Prologis OP with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC") on January 3, 2020, as
amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed by Prologis OP with the
SEC on January 17, 2020, that was
declared effective on January 21,
2020 and a related letter of transmittal and consent that
contains a more complete description of the terms and conditions of

Each series of Prologis Notes will bear interest from the most
recent interest payment date on which interest has been paid on the
corresponding series of Liberty Notes.
A holder who validly tenders its Liberty Notes for exchange will
be deemed to have delivered its consent to the Proposed Amendments.
Tenders of Liberty Notes may be withdrawn any time prior to
11:59 p.m., New York City Time,
February 6, 2020 unless extended by
Prologis OP (the "Final Expiration Date"). Consents to the Proposed
Amendments delivered prior to the Early Expiration Date may not be
revoked after the Early Expiration Date. Consents to the Proposed
Amendments delivered after the Early Expiration Date and before the
Final Expiration Date may be revoked any time prior to the Final
Expiration Date. Tenders of Liberty Notes may not be validly
withdrawn after the Final Expiration Date, unless Prologis OP
otherwise is required by law to permit withdrawal.
A holder who does not validly tender its Liberty Notes for
exchange, or whose notes are not accepted for exchange, will remain
a holder of such Liberty Notes. As the Proposed Amendments to the
Liberty Indenture will be adopted, assuming the merger with Liberty
is completed, all Liberty Notes not tendered for exchange will be
governed by the Liberty Indenture as amended by the Proposed
Amendments. The Liberty Indenture as amended by the Proposed
Amendments will have less restrictive terms, affording reduced
protections to the holders of the Liberty Notes compared to those
currently in the Liberty Indenture.
Prologis OP's obligations to complete the exchange offers and
the solicitation of consents are conditioned upon, among other
things, completion of the merger with Liberty. The merger with
Liberty is expected to be completed in early February 2020 and Prologis OP expects to waive
any other condition that has not been satisfied at or prior to the
Final Expiration Date.

The statements in this document 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 we operate as
well as management's beliefs and assumptions. Such statements
involve uncertainties that could significantly impact our financial
results. Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends,"
"plans," "believes," "seeks," and ""estimates, including variations
of such words and similar expressions, are intended to identify

growth, development activity, contribution and disposition
activity, general conditions in the geographic areas where we
operate, our debt, capital structure and financial position, our
ability to 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 we believe the
expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based
on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our
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)
national, international, regional and local economic and political
climates; (ii) changes in global financial markets, interest rates
and foreign currency exchange rates; (iii) increased or
unanticipated competition for our properties; (iv) risks associated
with acquisitions, dispositions and development of properties; (v)
maintenance of real estate investment trust status, tax structuring
and changes in income tax laws and rates; (vi) availability of
financing and capital, the levels of debt that we maintain and our
credit ratings; (vii) risks related to our investments in our co-
investment ventures, including our ability to establish new
co-investment ventures; (viii) risks of doing business
internationally, including currency risks; (ix) environmental
uncertainties, including risks of natural disasters; and (x) those
additional factors discussed in reports filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission by us under the heading "Risk Factors." We
undertake no duty to update any forward-looking statements
appearing in this document except as may be required by law.
