NOTE 10. PARTNERS’ CAPITAL OF PROLOGIS, L.P.

 

Distributions paid on the common limited partnership units, and the taxability of those distributions, are similar to dividends paid on the Parent’s common stock disclosed above.

 

On February 4, 2020, we issued 2.3 million common limited partnership units in the OP in the Liberty Transaction. On August 22, 2018, we issued 3.6 million common limited partnership units in the OP in the DCT Transaction. See Note 3 for more detail on these transactions.

 

We issued Class A Units in the OP through an acquisition of a portfolio of properties in 2015. The Class A Units generally have the same rights as the existing common limited partnership units of the OP, except that the Class A Units are entitled to a quarterly distribution equal to $0.64665 per unit so long as the common limited partnership units receive a quarterly distribution of at least $0.40 per unit (in the event the common limited partnership units receive a quarterly distribution of less than $0.40 per unit, the Class A Unit distribution would be reduced by a proportionate amount). Class A Units are convertible into common limited partnership units at an initial conversion rate of one-for-one. The conversion rate will be increased or decreased to the extent that, at the time of conversion, the net present value of the distributions paid with respect to the Class A Units are less or more than the distributions paid on common limited partnership units from the time of issuance of the Class A Units until the time of conversion. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Class A Units were convertible into 8.0 million and 8.1 million common limited partnership units, respectively. The OP may redeem the Class A Units at any time after October 7, 2025, for an amount in cash equal to the then-current number of the common limited partnership units into which the Class A Units are convertible, multiplied by $43.11, subject to the holders’ right to convert the Class A Units into common limited partnership units. Dividends paid to the Class A Units were $2.58660 annually during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.
