What is the main purpose of this 8-K filing?

The main purpose of this filing is to disclose a letter agreement executed between Prologis, Inc. and its CEO, Hamid R. Moghadam, concerning the vesting of his future equity awards.

How does this agreement affect the CEO's current equity awards?

This agreement specifically addresses equity awards granted *after* January 1, 2017. It does not appear to retroactively change the terms of any equity awards already granted to Mr. Moghadam prior to this date.

What are the key changes to the CEO's equity vesting terms?

The primary change is that any equity awards granted to the CEO after January 1, 2017, will not be eligible for accelerated or modified vesting based on retirement criteria. Vesting will continue based on his ongoing service relationship with the company, whether as an employee, director, or a substantive consultant/contractor.

Why might Prologis be making this change to executive compensation terms?

While the filing doesn't explicitly state the reason, such changes often aim to align executive compensation more closely with continued service and performance, potentially to encourage long-term commitment and reduce early payouts upon retirement.
