Frequently Asked Questions

The primary purpose of this 8-K filing was to disclose the repurchase of preferred limited partnership units by AMB Property II, L.P., a subsidiary of AMB Property Corporation (now Prologis, Inc.), from an institutional investor.

The repurchase reduces the outstanding preferred equity of the subsidiary by approximately $10.0 million. This could lead to a simplification of the capital structure and a reduction in future distribution obligations associated with these preferred units.
