What is the significance of the 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan (2020 LTIP) for Prologis shareholders?

The 2020 LTIP allows Prologis to issue additional shares of common stock (20,000,000 plus any remaining from the prior plan) to officers, directors, and employees. While this can be a tool for incentivizing management and aligning their interests with shareholders, it also represents potential dilution if new shares are issued.

Why did Prologis increase its authorized shares by such a large amount?

The substantial increase in authorized shares (by 1 billion) provides Prologis with significant financial flexibility. This could be to support future acquisitions, debt refinancing, capital raising activities, or to ensure ample availability for its long-term incentive plans like the 2020 LTIP.

What was the outcome of the vote on executive compensation?

The advisory vote to approve Prologis's executive compensation for 2019 received a majority of 'Votes For,' indicating shareholder support for the company's compensation practices during that year.

Who replaced J. Michael Losh on the board, or was the board size reduced?

The filing states that J. Michael Losh retired from the board. The results of the director elections show that eleven directors were elected to serve until the next annual meeting. The proxy statement mentioned on March 20, 2020, would detail the specific nominees for election, and since the election was for eleven directors, it's likely that the board composition remained stable or was filled by other nominees if Losh's departure was anticipated and replaced in the slate presented.
