SAN FRANCISCO, July 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Prologis, Inc. (NYSE: PLD), the leading global owner, operator and developer of industrial real estate, today announced that it has recast and upsized its global line of credit to $2.0 billion.

Prologis upsized the credit facility from $1.65 billion to $2.0 billion with a syndicate of 20 banks. Additionally, an accordion feature will allow Prologis to increase the credit facility by $1.0 billion for a total of $3.0 billion, subject to obtaining additional lender commitments. Funds may be drawn in US dollars, euros, Japanese yen, British pound sterling, and Canadian dollars. The credit facility is scheduled to mature on July 11, 2017. However, the company may extend the maturity date to July 11, 2018, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions and payment of an extension fee. Pricing under the facility is based upon the company's public debt ratings and is currently at LIBOR plus 130 basis points, a reduction of 40 basis points from the prior global credit facility. 

"We are very pleased with the strong support that we received from our longstanding relationship banks," said Thomas Olinger, chief financial officer, Prologis. "The much improved borrowing margin is a direct result of our strong financial standing, as well as our continued commitment to have one of the strongest balance sheets in our industry."
