NOTE 3. ACQUISITIONS

 

Liberty Transaction

 

On February 4, 2020, we acquired Liberty Property Trust and Liberty Property Limited Partnership (collectively “Liberty” or the “Liberty Transaction”).

 

The Liberty Transaction was completed for $13.0 billion through the issuance of equity based on the value of the Prologis common stock and units issued of $10.0 billion, the assumption of debt of $2.8 billion and transaction costs. In connection with the transaction, each issued and outstanding share or unit held by a Liberty stockholder or unitholder was converted automatically into 0.675 shares of Prologis common stock or common units of Prologis, L.P., respectively, including shares and units under Liberty’s equity incentive plan that became fully vested at closing.

 

Through the Liberty Transaction, we acquired a portfolio primarily comprised of logistics real estate assets, including 519 industrial operating properties, aggregating 99.6 million square feet, which are highly complementary to our U.S. portfolio in terms of product quality, location and growth potential in our key markets. There was approximately 34 million square feet of non-strategic industrial properties acquired in the Liberty Transaction that we do not intend to operate long-term. Depending on the expected hold period, these assets are either classified as Assets Held for Sale or Contribution or other real estate investments within Investments in Real Estate

Properties in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, we acquired an ownership interest in eight ventures that own industrial and office properties.

 

The aggregate equity consideration is calculated below (in millions, except price per share):

We accounted for the Liberty Transaction as an asset acquisition and as a result, the transaction costs of $115.8 million were capitalized to the basis of the acquired properties. Transaction costs included investment banker advisory fees, legal fees and other costs.

 

Under acquisition accounting, the total purchase price was allocated to the Liberty real estate properties and related lease intangibles on a relative fair value basis. All other assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including debt, and real estate assets that we do not intend to operate long-term are recorded at fair value as follows (in millions):

Intangible assets of $640.5 million and intangible liabilities of $149.9 million were included within Other Assets and Other Liabilities, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The acquired lease intangibles from the Liberty Transaction will be amortized over the terms of the respective leases with a weighted average remaining lease term of 66 months.

 

DCT Transaction

 

We acquired DCT Industrial Trust Inc. and DCT Industrial Operating Partnership LP (collectively “DCT”) on August 22, 2018 (“DCT Transaction”).

 

The DCT Transaction was completed for $8.5 billion through the issuance of equity based on the closing price of Prologis’ common stock on August 21, 2018 and the assumption of debt. In connection with the transaction, each issued and outstanding share or unit held by a DCT stockholder or unitholder was converted automatically into 1.02 shares of Prologis common stock or common units of Prologis, L.P., respectively, including shares and units under DCT’s equity incentive plan that became fully vested at closing.  

 

Through the DCT Transaction, we acquired a portfolio of logistics real estate assets that consisted of 408 operating properties, aggregating 68.0 million square feet, 10 properties under development, aggregating 2.8 million square feet and 305 acres of land with build-out potential of 4.5 million square feet.

 

The aggregate equity consideration of approximately $6.6 billion is calculated below (in millions, except price per share):

 

Number of Prologis shares and units issued upon conversion of DCT shares and units at August 21, 2018

We accounted for the DCT Transaction as an asset acquisition and as a result the transaction costs of $50.0 million were capitalized to the basis of the acquired properties. Transaction costs included investment banker advisory fees, legal fees and other costs.

 

Under acquisition accounting, the total purchase price was allocated to the DCT real estate properties and related lease intangibles on a relative fair value basis. All other assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including debt, and real estate assets that we do not intend to operate long-term are recorded at fair value as follows (in millions):
