8-KShareholder Matters

Prologis, Inc. 8-K Report, Shareholder Vote Results (Jun 2, 2011)

Filed June 2, 2011For Securities:PLDPLDGP

Summary

This 8-K filing from AMB Property Corporation (now ProLogis, Inc. following a merger) reports the results of a special meeting of stockholders held on June 1, 2011. The primary purpose of the meeting was to vote on proposals related to the previously announced merger between AMB Property Corporation and ProLogis. Investors should note that the merger itself, which involves the issuance of AMB common and preferred stock to ProLogis shareholders, was overwhelmingly approved by AMB stockholders. However, a proposal to amend the AMB charter, effective upon consummation of the merger, did not receive sufficient approval. While the core transaction of the merger has been approved, the failure to approve the charter amendment is a key detail. This could necessitate further actions or amendments to finalize the merger terms or governance structure. Investors should monitor subsequent filings for any implications of this outcome on the integration and operational aspects of the combined entity. The approval of the merger is a significant step towards the completion of the ProLogis and AMB combination.
