What was the primary purpose of this 8-K/A filing?

The primary purpose was to amend and correct a previous 8-K filing from August 16, 2000. The error corrected was the size of AMB Property, L.P.'s medium-term note program, which was initially reported as $4,000,000 but is actually up to $400,000,000.

What is the significance of the $400 million medium-term note program for investors?

This corrected filing reveals a substantially larger potential debt issuance capacity for AMB Property, L.P., guaranteed by the parent company. It indicates the company's ability to access significant capital through debt markets, which can be used for property acquisitions, development, or other strategic initiatives. Investors should monitor how this debt capacity is utilized.

Who are the agents involved in the distribution of these medium-term notes?

The Distribution Agreement lists several prominent investment banks as agents for the sale of the medium-term notes. These include Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, Banc of America Securities LLC, Banc One Capital Markets, Inc., Chase Securities Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., and Salomon Smith Barney Inc.

What is the difference between a fixed-rate and a floating-rate medium-term note?

A fixed-rate medium-term note pays a constant interest rate over its life, providing predictable income. A floating-rate medium-term note has an interest rate that adjusts periodically based on a benchmark interest rate (like LIBOR), meaning the interest payments can change over time. The filing indicates forms for both types of notes are available.
