Per $1,000 principal amount of notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase. Does not include accrued interest, which will be paid on notes accepted for purchase. |

Included in the total consideration for notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Maximum Tender Offer at or prior to the Early Tender Time. |

The hypothetical Total Consideration for the Prologis 6.875% Notes due March 15, 2020 (the "Prologis 2020 Notes") and the Trust 6.875% Notes due March 15, 2020 (the "Trust 2020 Notes", and together with the Prologis 2020 Notes, the "2020 Notes") is calculated based on a yield to the optional redemption date of December 16, 2019 using a redemption price of 100.00% of the principal amount of the 2020 Notes. The hypothetical Total Consideration for each other series of notes is calculated based on a yield to the maturity date for each series of notes. |
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 Maximum Tender Offer 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 22, 2013.
The Dealer Managers for the Maximum Tender Offer are Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Goldman, Sachs & Co. Questions regarding the Maximum Tender Offer 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).

The Maximum Tender Offer is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal. 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 Maximum Tender Offer. The Maximum Tender Offer is 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 Maximum Tender Offer.
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 Maximum Tender Offer only by, and pursuant to, the terms of the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal. The Maximum Tender Offer is 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.
