Tender instructions for each series of Duke Realty Notes will be accepted in authorized denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, except for the 7.250% Senior Notes due June 15, 2028, which will be accepted in authorized denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. The applicable exchange consideration and Early Participation Premium will be calculated only on current principal amounts outstanding as of the Settlement Date (as defined below). For illustrations on how the exchange consideration and Early Participation Premium will be calculated, see “The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations.”
Each new Prologis Note issued in exchange for a Duke Realty Note will have the same interest rate, interest payment dates, redemption terms and maturity as the corresponding Duke Realty Note for which it is offered in exchange, and will accrue interest from the most recent interest payment date of the tendered Duke Realty Note. The new Prologis Notes will be subject to certain covenants that may be different from the covenants applicable to the corresponding Duke Realty Notes, without giving effect to the Proposed Amendments (as defined below), as described further under “Description of the Differences Between the Prologis Notes and the Duke Realty Notes.”
The exchange offers will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 4, 2022 unless extended (the “Final Expiration Date”). You may withdraw tendered Duke Realty Notes at any time prior to the Final Expiration Date. As of the date of this prospectus, there was $3,375,000,000 principal amount of outstanding Duke Realty Notes.
Concurrently with the exchange offers, Prologis OP is also soliciting consents from each holder of the Duke Realty Notes upon the terms and conditions set forth in this prospectus and the related letter of transmittal to certain proposed amendments described below (the “Proposed Amendments”) to (i) the Indenture, dated September 19, 1995, between Duke Realty OP and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (as successor to J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association (successor in interest to The First National Bank of Chicago)), as trustee (the “1995 Indenture Trustee”), as amended and supplemented (the “1995 Indenture”) and (ii) the Indenture, dated July 28, 2006, between Duke Realty OP and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (as successor to J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association), as trustee (the “2006 Indenture Trustee” and, together with the 1995 Indenture Trustee, the “Trustees”), as amended and supplemented (the “2006 Indenture” and, together with the 1995 Indenture, the “Duke Realty Indentures”).
A holder validly tendering Duke Realty Notes for exchange will, by tendering those notes, be deemed to have validly delivered its consent to the Proposed Amendments to the applicable Duke Realty Indenture, as further described under “The Proposed Amendments.” If the Requisite Consents (as defined below) of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Duke Realty Notes issued under the applicable Duke Realty Indenture voting as a single class, as described more fully herein, are received, then it is anticipated that Duke Realty OP and the applicable Trustee will enter into a supplemental indenture with respect to the affected notes that will, subject to the successful completion of the applicable exchange offer, have the effect of eliminating certain covenants contained in the applicable Duke Realty Indenture that afford protection to holders of Duke Realty Notes, including substantially all of the restrictive covenants, certain affirmative covenants, certain events of default and substantially all of the restrictions on the ability of Duke Realty OP to merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of its properties or assets.
Prologis OP’s obligations to complete the exchange offers and consent solicitations are conditioned upon, among other things, consummation of the merger and receipt of valid consents sufficient to effect the Proposed Amendments to the Duke Realty Indentures. The merger and related transactions are not conditioned upon the commencement or completion of the exchange offers or consent solicitations.
Prologis and Duke Realty have agreed to a merger under the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 11, 2022 (the “merger agreement”), by and among Prologis, Prologis OP, Compton Merger Sub LLC (“Prologis Merger Sub”), Compton Merger Sub OP LLC (“Prologis OP Merger Sub”), Duke Realty and Duke Realty OP. The merger agreement provides that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the merger agreement, (a) Duke Realty will merge with and into Prologis Merger Sub (the “company merger”), with Prologis Merger Sub surviving the merger and remaining a wholly owned subsidiary of Prologis, (b) thereafter, Prologis and Prologis Merger Sub will cause all of the outstanding equity interests of Prologis Merger Sub to be contributed to Prologis OP in exchange for the issuance by Prologis OP of partnership interests in Prologis OP to Prologis and/or its subsidiaries as directed by Prologis (the “contribution and issuance”), and (c) thereafter, Prologis OP Merger Sub will merge with and into Duke Realty OP, with Duke Realty OP continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of Prologis OP (the “partnership merger” and, together with the company merger, the “merger”). The parties expect the merger to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2022.
We plan to issue the Prologis Notes promptly on or about the second business day following the Final Expiration Date (the “Settlement Date”).
