1. Description of Business

Prologis, Inc. (the “REIT”) commenced operations as a fully integrated real estate company in 1997, elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Internal Revenue Code”), and believes the current organization and method of operation will enable the REIT to maintain its status as a real estate investment trust. The REIT is the general partner of Prologis, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”). Through the controlling interest in the Operating Partnership, we are engaged in the ownership, acquisition, development and operation of industrial properties in global and regional markets throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia. Our current business strategy includes two reportable business segments: Real Estate Operations and Investment Management (previously referred to as Private Capital). Our Real Estate Operations segment represents the long-term ownership of industrial properties. Our Investment Management segment represents the long-term management of co-investment ventures and other unconsolidated entities. See Note 21 for further discussion of our business segments. Unless otherwise indicated, the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements apply to both the REIT and the Operating Partnership. The terms “the Company,” “Prologis,” “we,” “our” or “us” means the REIT and Operating Partnership collectively.

As of December 31, 2013, the REIT owned an approximate 99.65% common general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership, and 100% of the preferred units. The remaining approximate 0.35% common limited partnership interests are owned by non-affiliated investors and certain current and former directors and officers of the REIT. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the REIT has full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion in the day-to-day management and control of the Operating Partnership. We operate the REIT and the Operating Partnership as one enterprise. The management of the REIT consists of the same members as the management of the Operating Partnership. These members are officers of the REIT and employees of the Operating Partnership or one of its direct or indirect subsidiaries. As general partner with control of the Operating Partnership, the REIT consolidates the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes, and the REIT does not have significant assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the REIT and the Operating Partnership are the same on their respective financial statements.

On June 3, 2011, AMB Property Corporation (“AMB”) and AMB Property, L.P. completed the merger contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger with ProLogis, a Maryland real estate investment trust (“ProLogis”) and its subsidiaries (the “Merger”). Following the Merger, AMB changed its name to Prologis, Inc. AMB was the legal acquirer and ProLogis was the accounting acquirer. As such, in the Consolidated Financial Statements the historical results of ProLogis were included for the pre-Merger period and the combined results were included subsequent to the Merger. See Note 3 for further discussion on the Merger.
