Board Evaluations and Process forFor Selecting Directors

Rigorous Board evaluation and refreshment process

 

· 

Our annual Board evaluation process involves assessments at the Board, Board committee and individual director levels. Through this process, the Board determines who should be nominated to stand for election based on current company and Board needs.

 

· 

In this process, directors complete a Board survey to identify key skills and characteristics currently needed for the Board, as well as to provide information relating to Board composition and planning.

 

· 

Director interview questions are prepared based on current areas of focus as well as feedback from our stockholder outreach efforts.

 

· 

Annualone-on-one director interviews are conducted by our lead independent director and chair of the Governance Committee and, every other year, by an independent third party.

 

· 

The results of the director interviews are aggregated by our lead independent director, Governance Committee chair, and if applicable, the independent third party, and reported to the Governance Committee and then to our full Board. Our Board will follow up on items identified in the evaluation process.

 

· 

Our Governance Committee discusses Board succession and reviews potential candidates. This process is based on the results of annual board evaluations and takes place throughout the course of the year.

·

Our director candidate search process actively identifies and assesses a pool of potential candidates through a variety of sources, primarily through internal references. Although the committee may retain third parties to assist in identifying potential nominees, it prefers internal references by directors who understand the needs and dynamics of the Board with a particular focus on inclusion and diversity of ideas and background.

Regular Board refreshment

· 

The Board is committed to regular refreshment to maintain an optimal balance of different perspectives, skills and proper oversight overbackgrounds. We have onboarded five new directors in the past seven years, increasing the ethnic, gender and geographical diversity of the Board as well as breadth of experience. As a priority, the Board continues to be particularly focused on ethnic and gender diverse candidates who meet the current needs of the company.

 

· 

The Board was completely refreshed and rebuilt at the time of the Merger in 2011. The Merger essentially created a new company with a new operating and corporate platform. At that time, all directors underwent intensive review to determine which directors would best fit the newly created combined company.

 

· 

Each director selected in this rebuilding process was onboarded as a new director to the newly established company. These directors were required to perform in a new governance environment, with new structures, processes, committees, charters and guidelines.

 

· 

We have continued to refresh the Board since the Merger. David O’Connor onboarded as a new director in 2015, Olivier Piani in 2017, Cristina Bita and Philip Hawkins in 2018, and Avid Modjtabai in 2020.

Board of Directors and Corporate Governance

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

 

 

 

Director Independence

We require that a majority of the Board be independent in accordance with NYSE rules. To determine whether a director is independent, the Board must affirmatively determine that there is no direct or indirect material relationship between the company and the director.

91% of the Board is independent.

 

· 

The Board has determined that all our directors other than our chairman, Mr. Moghadam, are independent.

The Board reached this determination after considering all relevant facts and circumstances, reviewing director questionnaires and considering transactions and relationships, if any, between us, our affiliates, our executive officers and their affiliates, and each of the directors, members of each of their immediate families and their affiliates.

Audit, Governance and Talent and Compensation Committees are 100% independent.

 

· 

The Board has also determined that all members of the Audit, Governance and Talent and Compensation Committees of the Board are independent in accordance with NYSE and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules.

Board Leadership Structure

Our governance guidelines do not specify a leadership structure for the Board, allowing the Board the flexibility to choose the best option for the company as circumstances warrant. The Board believes that strong independent leadership ensures effective oversight over the company. Such independent oversight is maintained through:

 

· 

our lead independent director;

 

· 

our independent directors;

 

· 

the Audit, Governance and Talent and Compensation Committees, which are all comprised entirely of independent directors;

 

· 

annual review of the Board leadership structure and effectiveness of oversight through the Board evaluation process; and

 

· 

strong adherence to our governance guidelines.

All of our independent directors have the ability to provide input for meeting agendas and are encouraged to raise topics for discussion by the Board. In addition, the Board and each Board committee has complete and open access to any member of management.

Each committee has the authority to retain independent legal, financial and other advisors as they deem appropriate without consulting or obtaining the approval of any member of management. The Board also holds regularly scheduled executive sessions of only independent directors in order to promote free and open discussion among the independent directors.

Chairman and CEO assessment

Our chairman and CEO and our lead independent director act together in a system of checks and balances, providing both strong oversight and operational insight.

Our CEO, Mr. Moghadam, serves as chairman of the Board. The lead independent director role is focused on ensuring independent oversight of the company. Mr. Moghadam’s roles as both CEO and chairman enable him to act as a bridge between management and the Board, ensuring that the Board understands our business when making its decisions.

Board of Directors and Corporate Governance

Mr. Moghadam has the breadth of experience to execute our unique business plan and to provide special insights to the Board.

Very few have experience running a public company with extensive global operations and substantial strategic capitalStrategic Capital and development businesses. Mr. Moghadamco-founded the company and has served on the Board since the company’s initial public offering in November 1997. As one of our founders, Mr. Moghadam has extensive knowledge and expertise in the real estate and REIT industries, as well as history and knowledge of our company.

Considering all of these factors, the Board believes that a structure that combines the roles of CEO and chairman, along with an independent lead director, independent chairs for each of the Board committees and independentnon-employee directors, provides the best leadership for the company at this time and places the company in a competitive position to provide long-term value to our stockholders.

Lead independent director

If the offices of chairman and CEO are held by the same person or if the chairman is otherwise not independent, the independent members of the Board will annually elect an independent director to serve in a lead capacity. The lead independent director is generally expected to serve for more than one year. Mr. Lyons has been selected as the lead independent director by our Governance Committee and the independent members of our Board and has served in that capacity for nearly nine years.Board.

Management of one of the strongest balance sheets in the REIT industry achieved by lowering our financial risk and foreign currency exposure

 

· 

Rigorous internal and third-party audits assessing the company’s controls and procedures

 

· 

Centralized team dedicated to managing risk globally and staying closely engaged with Prologis’ teams at the individual market level

Climate risk

We assess natural hazard and climate risk across our portfolio. Our risk management team works to ensure we have sufficient insurance coverage and protection for our buildings. We also partner with a global reinsurance company to evaluate future climate scenarios and determine which actions we should take. This evaluation is based on underwriting data, a significant improvement over the traditional catastrophe modeling and flood zone data used by many other organizations. Based on this evaluation, we take a range of actions which can include improving the physical resilience of our buildings, reviewing and improving disaster response plans, and other measures. Because of our long-term planning, resilience measures and diverse portfolio footprint, we believe our climate change risk is well-managed.

Cybersecurity

Our Chief Technology Officer and our Vice President of IT Governance oversee our information security program. They report to the audit committee/board at least annually and also conduct annual information security compliance training. The Prologis Information Security Policy is governed by the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) and includes mandatory

annual training for all employees. Prologis’ cybersecurity posture is reviewed and benchmarked against its peers through regular participation in a third-party security benchmarking survey. Our IT infrastructure is externally audited as part of our Sarbanes Oxley audit process and our controls include information security standards. Also, we maintain standalone cybersecurity insurance. To our knowledge, we have not experienced a material breach in information security.

CEO and management succession planning

The Board is responsible for ensuring that we have a high-performing management team in place. The Board, with the assistance of the Compensation Committee, regularly conducts a detailed review of management development and succession planning activities to ensure that top management positions, including the CEO position, can be filled without undue interruption.

Our succession planning process istwo-tiered to ensure orderly succession. One tier contemplates succession planning in the case of an emergency during which one or more members of our current management are unable to perform their duties. The second tier involves long-term planning to identify and develop talent with potential to step in as our future management team. As part of our longer term succession planning, we made changes in 2019 to our organizational architecture to prepare the company for the next chapter in its evolution. Executive roles were reorganized to drive our platform initiatives focusing on customer centricity and extracting value beyond our real estate while allowing for growth opportunities for the next generation of potential leaders. As an example, Mr. Olinger was instrumental in positioning his successor, Mr. Timothy Arndt, with key global leadership responsibilities to prepare Mr. Arndt for the role of CFO after Mr. Olinger’s retirement. Mr. Arndt will assume the position of CFO on April 1, 2022.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct outlines in great detail the key principles of ethical conduct expected of our employees, officers and directors, including matters related to conflicts of interest, use of company resources, fair dealing, and financial reporting and disclosure. The code establishes formal procedures for reporting illegal or unethical behavior to the company’s internal ethics committee. These procedures permit employees to report any concerns, including concerns about the company’s accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters, on a confidential or anonymous basis if desired. Employees may contact the ethics committee by email, in writing, byweb-based report or by calling a toll-free telephone number. Any significant concerns are reported to the Audit Committee in accordance with the code.

Simultaneous Board service

Our director overboarding policy in our governance guidelines requirerequires that, if a director serves on three or more public company boards simultaneously, including our Board, a determination is made by our Board as to whether such simultaneous service impairs the ability of such member to effectively serve the company. Messrs. Fotiades, Losh,Mr. Lyons and Zollars and Ms. Kennard currently serve on at least three public company boards, including our Board. In each case, our Board has determined that such simultaneous board service does not impair the Board member’s ability to be an effective member of our Board. None of our directors currently serve on more than three public company boards (including our Board) other than Mr. Losh, who is not standing forre-election to our Board.    

Certain relationships and related party transactions

We do not have any related party transactions to report under relevant SEC rules and regulations. According to our Articles of Incorporation, the Board may authorize any agreement or other transaction with any party even though one or more of our directors or officers may be a party to such an agreement or is an officer, director, stockholder, member or partner of the other party if: (i) the existence of the relationship is disclosed or known to the Board, and the contract or transaction is authorized, approved or ratified by the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of the disinterested directors, even if they constitute less than a quorum of the Board; (ii) the existence is disclosed to the stockholders entitled to vote, and the contract or transaction is authorized, approved or ratified by a majority of the votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote (excluding shares owned by any interested director or officer or the organization in which such person is a director or has a material financial interest); or (iii) the contract or transaction is fair and reasonable to the company.

We recognize that transactions between us and related parties can present potential or actual conflicts of interest and create the appearance that our decisions are based on considerations other than the company’s best interests and the best interests of our stockholders. Related parties may include our directors, executives, significant stockholders and immediate family members and affiliates of such persons.

Accordingly, several provisions of our code of ethics and business conduct are intended to help us avoid the conflicts and other issues that may arise in transactions between us and related parties, prescribing that:

 

· 

employees will not engage in conduct or activity that may raise questions as to the company’s honesty, impartiality or reputation or otherwise cause embarrassment to the company;reputation;

 

· 

employees shall not hold financial interests that conflict with, or leave the appearance of conflicting with, the performance of their assigned duties;

 

· 

employees shall act impartially and not give undue preferential treatment to any private organization or individual; and

employees should avoid actual conflicts or the appearance of conflicts of interest.

Prologis ESG Value Creation

LOGO

Good business. Prologis ESG boosts operational efficiencies, builds long-term relationships with our customers, investors, employees and the communities in which we develop, and ensures resilience across our global platform.

Longstanding commitment and forward thinking approach. Since our inception more than 30 years ago, our ESG leadership has been a business strategy, a competitive differentiator engrained in the culture of our organization. This long view has paid off—positioning us in the top echelon in ESG, not just in our industry, but in the world.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP AT PROLOGIS

Future-Proofing Our Building Design to Stay Ahead of Customer Needs

Our customers turn to us for modern, sustainable buildings in today’s fast-evolving logistics landscape.

Customers require solutions as they seek to be closer to theend-consumer. Noise and fuel emission restrictions in dense population centers, for example, are driving the use of alternatively fueled vehicles. We have piloted electric vehicle (EV) charging systems in Europe and China to get ahead of this trend. Confirming our predictions, most of our top 10 customers have recently announced significant investments in EV.

Our customers benefit from our scale, resources and expertise across our global platform. An example of how our innovations in one corner of the world benefit our customers in others, we piloted smart meters in the UK and central Europe, including online systems and a mobile application for remote energy management. Now, we are rolling out this technology across Europe and beyond.

Customer-Focused LED Lighting and Solar Solutions

Our investments in energy solutions align our environmental ambitions with those of our customers. Many of our top 10 customers have declared ambitious carbon reduction goals and customers have sought our expertise in sustainable build. As an example, L’Oreal chose us to build their flagship facility designed for carbon-neutral operation in Muggensturm, Germany. This state-of-the-art facility won the 2019 Logix Award for outstanding logistics real estate development in Germany.

Positioning our portfolio for greater energy efficiency enables us and our customers to stay ahead of changing expectations and regulations regarding carbon emissions. In the UK, as an example, we build to BREEAM-certified standards that keep us ahead of evolving local codes requiring greater energy efficiency in order to operate.

Demonstrating our commitment to energy solutions, our investment committee reviews every investment opportunity for solar and LED installation potential. We invest in ESG and solar where it makes sense for our business through the generation of ancillary revenues or other positive returns.

Prologis LED Essentials: Using our scale to benefit our customers

Prologis led the charge to establish LED lighting as a standard in logistics real estate. In 2019 alone, an additional 50 MSF of our portfolio realized the productivity benefits of LEDs. Since 2017, we have more than doubled our LED coverage.

Our LED Essentials program allows customers to upgrade their lighting without upfront capital costs. We agree to replace the customer’s lighting for $0.01 per square foot per month for five years. The customer retains 100% of the energy/maintenance savings making their total cost less than $0.01/sf per month.

LED Essentials is designed to allow all customers, of all sizes and in all markets, to enjoy the benefits of LED lighting. LEDs can foster a better work environment by enhancing safety and boosting employee productivity. Another upside is that appealing workspaces can result in higher employee satisfaction and, thus, promote lower turnover—a definite plus for our customers.

Prologis SolarSmart: Making renewable energy easy and accessible to customers

Prologis has been a leader in building solar-generating capacity on our rooftops, with 212 MW installed at the end of 2019 (the equivalent of powering 32,800 average-sized homes for a year). By the end of Q2 2019, we had already exceeded our 2020 goal of 200 MW and have set a new goal of 400 MW by 2025.

The Prologis SolarSmart program allows customers to reap the financial, operational and ESG benefits of solar without upfront capital costs or long-term financial commitments. The customer pays only for the solar energy they use, and they can apply for renewable energy credits to offset their conventional energy use.

Prologis DIRFT III DC2: Saving energy and reducing customer costs

Prologis DIRFT III DC2 achieved a BREEAM “Excellent” accreditation andEPC-A rating.

LOGO

DIRFT III features a solar panel system that, when coupled with the use of batteries to store energy produced by the system, has saved our customers more than 40% of their energy costs throughon-site generation.

To maximize energy use, we installed a motion-sensitive LED lighting system with a wireless control network, which we co-developed with a supplier. Applying this technology to other facilities and further enhancing its capabilities, we are finding ways to use sensors to measure air quality and track movement in warehouses to help our customers make their operational flow more efficient.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AT PROLOGIS

Relationships Strengthen Our Business

Long-term partnerships that pay off

Building relationships is critical given that repeat customers lease about 60% of our portfolio across the globe. These relationships are also crucial during stringent development and entitlement processes, as we can show our commitment to being long-term partners in the communities in which we build and operate.

Committed to customer centricity, we initiated our net promoter score (NPS) program, measuring customer satisfaction and loyalty. Ranking among the best brands in the world, our NPS score is about 67% higher than the B2B average for commercial real estate. Strong NPS scores have been shown to correlate with faster revenue growth, higher customer retention and loyalty and decreased sensitivity to price.(1)

Our civic engagement deepens our presence in communities in which we do business. Supporting over 225non-profits, we have contributed more than $12.0 million to charities and $5.2 million ofin-kind rent donated through our Space for Good program in the last five years. Since 2015, we have spent over 59,000 hours helping communities through efforts such as IMPACT Day, our annual day of global service.

Investment in our communities also builds culture and strengthens our relationships with our employees. Our employees have told us, through numerous surveys over the years, that they place great importance in working for a company committed to ESG, and that they are proud of our commitment to volunteerism.

Prologis Labor Solutions: Innovating to Solve our Customers’ Pain Points

Prologis Community Workforce Initiative: Awin-win for us, our customers and our communities

 Our customers have told us that finding and keeping qualified labor is their biggest pain point.

 We listened. In 2018, we launched our Prologis Community Workforce Initiative (CWI), partnering with community organizations and municipalities to provide training for careers in logistics. By developing training programs and workplace curricula, we have opened up opportunities for individuals of all ages and backgrounds, including those in underserved communities.

LOGOENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE PRIORITIES

 

 

 

 

LOGOLOGO

CWI boosts local economies by upskilling workers, while creating new pathways to employment in the booming logistics industry.

Strengthening our relationships with communities, CWI proves our value and commitment to being a long-term partner in the locations in which we build and operate. CWI is a competitive advantage in securing transactions and entitlements as, through CWI, we can offer more than the typical real estate company can as the only real estate company with a team and resources dedicated to logistics workforce training.

CWI’s next steps include a Prologis-branded online curriculum with industry certifications to prepare workers for logistics jobs of today and tomorrow. We are piloting cutting-edge technologies in workforce training, such as digital training delivered via mobile devices and augmented reality solutions for supervisor training. We have also entered into a national partnership that will enable us to further scale the program and build out funding and training infrastructures.

To date, we have developed partnerships with community-based organizations in major logistics markets such as Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, Tracy, New Jersey, Oakland and Mexico City.

Approach to ESG Priorities

At Prologis, our environmental, social and Governancegovernance (ESG) priorities are important factors in the implementation of our business strategy. We support innovation and inclusion; reduce our environmental impact, including our emissions; and strengthen our relationships with customers, employees and communities.

This integrated approach impacts every aspect of our company. Every day, Prologis’ approximately 2,000 employees work to: Define the Future of Logistics; Anticipate Stakeholder Needs; and Manage Risks and Opportunities.

 

 

 

Our Multifaceted Approach to Labor: Training, Technology Investments and Real Estate SolutionsLOGO

In addition to Prologis CWI, our three-pronged approach to labor solutions involves investments in technology, like Workstep, an online platform that matches workers and employers in the logistics industry.

We are also implementing building design features focused on comfort and well-being to help our customers attract and retain employees. In the UK, for example, our PARKLife program provides special amenities, such as access to public transportation options and natural open space, to both our customers’ employees and the surrounding communities. Other Prologis facilities in Europe have incorporated recreational sport courts and fields, as well as access to healthy food options and childcare support.

In 2018 and 2019, Prologis was first in the logistics sector to receive WELL certifications (in the U.S. and Europe) from the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI), a benchmark recognition that focuses on enhancing the health and wellness of building occupants.

In the spotlight: Our Japan team tackling the labor challenge

Innovating to solve logistics labor challenges in Japan, our Japan colleagues established the Prologis Academy in 2019. The program focuses on developing talent in supply chain management and logistics through focused interactive learning, including Prologis facility tours that showcase robotics in action at our distribution facilities.

Our Japan team has also invested in technology solutions, such as Taimee, a software platform that matches temporary workers with logistics employers. Addressing customer labor pain points through building design, our Japanese facilities include amenities that go above and beyond typical logistics real estate, such as onsite convenience stores, cafeterias and canteens that give workers a place to eat, relax and socialize.

Actively managing risk to serve our customers and protect our business

Understanding, managing and mitigating risk are crucial to resiliency. Ensuring that our customers can function in the face of disruptions remains an imperative.

Our global risk management team continuously evaluates our portfolio for sufficient coverage, protection and resilience. We monitor our exposure to physical and climate-related risks such as flooding, sea level rise and extreme weather events through partnerships with our geographic information systems (GIS) department. We have built a comprehensive insurance infrastructure leveraging our scale to optimize coverage and pricing globally.

Our regional teams assess risk at the local levels and are on the ground to respond quickly to our customers’ needs. With local expertise, our development teams incorporate design features, such as elevated dock doors, to mitigate climate-related risks specific to a region.

Proactive crisis preparation is key to maintain business continuity of our customers. Our global business continuity and emergency response plan uses the latest technology, such as mobile phone notification systems, to return our customers to business safely and quickly. Due to our scale, we are able to negotiate reduced rates and priority status with disaster recovery vendors that have expedited damage assessment and repairs and prevented loss to customers’ property.

We Anticipate Stakeholder Needs How do we meet the needs of our employees, our customers and the communities we serve? We manage human capital and foster a workplace culture of respect and inclusion. We address our customers' challenges, including those brought on by global supply chain issues. We find new ways to connect with and serve the communities where we do business. Examples of our recent efforts include: Our employee engagement survey indicated that 88% of Prologis employees are engaged, as indicated by their positive response to the five questions comprising our engagement driver index, including "I am proud to work for this company." For the first time, we published a summary of our EEO-1 data on the Prologis website to provide transparency on our successes and challenges in inclusion and diversity. Our "net promoter" score of 66 far exceeds the B2B average of 40, indicating our customers are very likely to recommend Prologis to a colleague. Every build-to-suit development completed in 2021 incorporated sustainable elements, from rooftop solar and LED lighting to electric vehicle charging stations and zero-emissions status. This responds to customer and community needs, investor priorities and regulatory requirements for more efficient lower-emission buildings. With our PARKlife" program, we create a range of services and amenities to support our customers, their employees and the community at large. These include green spaces and fitness trails, art installations, green transportation programs, maintenance and security.

We Manage Risks and Opportunities

Strong, integrated risk management protects business value and delivers results for our stakeholders. This includes assessing environmental and climate-related risks as well as risks from seismic activity. A global health & safety committee establishes policies and practices to enhance protections for our employees and contractors. Our Customer Advisory Board provides third-party validation with insights into existing and emerging risks and opportunities in our industry.

We continuously anticipate market, regulatory and environmental changes to protect the financial, reputational and operational resilience of our company. Examples include:

·

We have one of the strongest balance sheets in the industry, with $5.0 billion in liquidity.

·

In 2021, Prologis’ LEED Volume Program was re-approved by the US Green Building Council (USGBC) at the higher LEED v4 standard, the first for the U.S. logistics real estate sector. This program leverages our scale to procure certifications in a cost and time efficient manner. Under the program, Prologis will achieve improvements in sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality.

·

Our Disaster Preparedness and Recovery Plan and our Global Business Continuity and Emergency Response Plan are crucial to protecting our operations and those of our customers from a wide range of risks. These plans ensure employee safety, operational continuity and continuous support for our customers. In 2021, more than 50 natural hazard events affected our portfolio. These included unprecedented floods in China, Germany and Belgium; the Texas Freeze; and other severe events throughout the United States. Due to planning and risk mitigation measures in place, interruptions to customer activities were avoided in nearly all cases.

·

We use GIS climate risk mapping software to assess climate risk across our portfolio, and partner with a global reinsurance company to evaluate future climate scenarios based on underwriting data—a significant advancement over the traditional catastrophe modeling and flood zone data.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

COMPENSATION SUMMARY

Our Compensation Program Pays When Stockholders Win

·

Paying for performance is our central compensation tenet.

100% of our CEO’s compensation is at-risk and contingent on performance.

In line with our established practice of conducting extensive stockholder outreach and responding to feedback with concrete action, we made our long-term incentive program even more rigorous by requiring above-index performance to earn LTI awards at target. We also adopted a variety of improvements to other program features.

·

Outperformance compensation is paid only when stockholders receive significant above-market returns as measured by objective, formulaic hurdles.

Outperformance compensation extends deep into our organization beyond NEOs, helping us attract and retain key talent in an increasingly competitive market. Our evolving business requires expertise from industries beyond real estate such as finance, private equity and technology.

·

Our NEO compensation reflects the performance of our entire global business that generates value for our stockholders. This includes our Strategic Capital business, which accounts for nearly half of our real estate portfolio. Strategic Capital comprises two public and seven private ventures, which our NEOs manage in addition to the rest of our business.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Letter from the Talent and Compensation Committee

To Our Stockholders:

Prologis achieved tremendous success in 2021. We surpassed 1 billion square feet in our portfolio and achieved an occupancy rate of 97.7% globally, both all-time company records. Our 2021 TSR of 72.3% outpaced the S&P 500 index by 43.7%. We continued to receive third-party recognition for our ESG efforts, including being named one of the Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World for the thirteenth time. Our Community Workforce Initiative reached more than 13,000 trainees in total, building a pipeline of skilled logistics workers for our customers while revitalizing career pathways in the communities where we operate. Institutional Investor, a financial research institution, recognized Prologis as one of its most honored companies for the fourth year in a row and named our co-founder and CEO, Hamid R. Moghadam, who has led the company for over 35 years, its #1 REIT CEO for the second consecutive year.

For many years, we have proactively sought stockholder input regarding our executive compensation, governance, and other matters and made improvements in direct response to such feedback. Prologis is a unique, multi-faceted business. The program improvements we have implemented are designed to incentivize performance in support of the pivotal components of our global business, drive value creation for stockholders, and mitigate the risk of talent departure.

In light of our strong 2021 performance, we were disappointed in the low level of support for our Say-on-Pay proposal at our last annual meeting. The Committee takes the result of our Say-on-Pay vote extremely seriously and viewed the result of last year’s vote as a direction to redouble our commitment to stockholder engagement and paying for performance.

Following last year’s Say-on-Pay vote, we engaged with 78% of our top 100 stockholders. George Fotiades, Chair of our Committee, and Bud Lyons, the Board’s lead independent director, participated in a number of meetings to listen to feedback directly from stockholders. We also engaged with proxy advisory firms to understand their views on how to improve our compensation program.

During these discussions, we were pleased to hear that stockholders appreciate Prologis’ consistent financial outperformance and believe that the pay-for-performance design and implementation of our compensation program supports this outperformance. As in past years, our conversations with stockholders gave us direction on how we can further improve our compensation program. In response to feedback we heard from stockholders, we adopted a more rigorous payout scale in our long-term incentive program, added more transparency in our annual bonus program, increased the weighting of quantitative metrics (including more prominent ESG-related goals) in the annual bonus program, and completely eliminated certain NEO perquisites. The Committee and full Board are confident that these changes are directly responsive to the feedback we heard from stockholders in engagement conversations.

The continued evolution of our business requires talent recruitment from competitive industries beyond real estate. This led us to refine our compensation comparison peer group in 2021. We reduced the overall number of peers and selected peers of appropriate size that more accurately reflect the other key business and talent markets in which we now compete, namely finance and tech. Although we reconstituted our peer group, we did not increase pay levels in 2021 based on the new peer group. Consistent with our pay-for-performance philosophy, we continue to position core compensation within the competitive band of median pay of the refined group while requiring significant long-term stockholder value creation to earn outperformance compensation.

We deeply value our relationship with our stockholders and look forward to future opportunities for continued dialogue and improvement. Thank you for your candid and insightful feedback during our outreach efforts and for the opportunity to demonstrate our commitment to responsibly serve your best interests.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Stockholder Outreach + Compensation Program Improvements

Say-on-Pay responsiveness

·

We review our compensation program at every Talent and Compensation Committee (“Compensation Committee” or “the Committee”) meeting throughout the year. Voting results and feedback from our stockholders are crucial to our continual assessment of our compensation programs, decisions, and policies.

·

We received an average Say-on-Pay vote of over 80% support in the three years prior to our 2021 annual meeting. However, at our 2021 annual meeting, 52.17%(1) of stockholders voted in favor of our 2020 executive compensation. We take the results of our Say-on-Pay vote very seriously. As a direct response to that vote, we amplified our historically robust, proactive stockholder outreach efforts. In total, we connected with 78% of our top 100 stockholders.(2) The Chair of our Compensation Committee and the Board’s lead independent director participated directly in a number of meetings with stockholders.

·

Based on the initial stockholder feedback we received, we developed a list of potential compensation program improvements. We then conducted a second extensive outreach campaign to present our potential changes and gauge stockholder reactions. The feedback we heard from stockholders and our responsive compensation program improvements are detailed on the following pages.

·

Additionally, stockholder feedback influenced the development of our revised peer group, as discussed on pages 52-53.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

     2021 STOCKHOLDER FEEDBACK

     OUR RESPONSE

Appreciated Our Outreach and Responsiveness:In light of our Say-on-Pay voting result, our stockholders appreciated our continued outreach and responsiveness to their feedback. While stockholders support the strong pay-for-performance orientation of our program, they requested additional rigor and transparency.

LOGO

Assessed Program to Enhance Rigor and Transparency: The Compensation Committee carefully considered our 2021 Say-on-Pay result and conducted a comprehensive review of our program to identify potential areas of improvement. The Committee modified our LTI awards, annual bonus program, and disclosure, as discussed below. The Committee also eliminated NEO financial planning and parking perquisites.

Scrutinized Payout Levels for LTI Awards: Stockholders appreciated that our LTI program aligns pay directly with TSR. However, some requested greater rigor, such as requiring above-index performance to receive target LTI award value.

LOGO

Higher Performance Standards for LTI Awards: The Committee modified LTI equity awards such that there is no payout if our annualized TSR is less than 500 bps below the index. This eliminated discretion to pay awards in the event of such performance. The Committee also modified the payout scale such that at-target payouts require annualized TSR performance of 100 bps above the benchmark index, as opposed to the previous standard of at-target payout for performance at the index.

Preferred Less Discretion and More Quantitative Metrics in our Annual Bonus Program: Stockholders requested a heavier weighting for quantitative measures used to determine payouts in our annual bonus program.

LOGO

Reduced Discretion in Annual Bonus Program: The Compensation Committee shifted the weighting of bonus metrics so that the quantitative corporate score is weighted 80% and individual performance is weighted only 20% for all NEOs. This weighting previously applied only to our CEO.

Requested More Visibility into Our Compensation Decisions: Stockholders requested more visibility into our compensation determinations, such as calculations for our annual bonus awards. They also requested simplified disclosure to better understand our program (such as for PPP) and a discussion of the Committee’s compensation goals and rationale for the program’s structure.

LOGO

Enhanced Disclosure on Our Program and Discussion of Pay Determinations: We expanded disclosures on various elements of our program, such as the quantitative targets used for bonus awards. We also developed enhanced explanations of our program (focusing on PPP per feedback) and our underlying rationale for our program’s structure in this Compensation Discussion & Analysis.

Favored Greater Prominence of Quantitative ESG Targets in Our Incentive Programs: Stockholders noted their appreciation for our longstanding commitment to ESG. They requested that our bonus metrics reflect that dedication by including measurable ESG goals with a heavier weighting and more disclosure on the rationale for the ESG metrics we select.

LOGO

Added Emphasis on Quantitative ESG Metrics and Rationale for Their Selection: We added rigorous, quantifiable ESG goals to our bonus program and increased the weighting of these ESG goals in our bonus determination process. We also provided disclosure on why we selected these particular ESG metrics and how we measure progress.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

     2021 STOCKHOLDER FEEDBACK

     OUR RESPONSE

Acknowledged No True Peers as Our Business Evolves: Stockholders recognize that our global business continues to expand beyond that of a typical real estate company, as seen in our Strategic Capital business and increasing emphasis on tech-enabled customer solutions. They understand the associated difficulty of selecting peers for our compensation comparison group that are appropriate in size and scope.

LOGO

Refined Peer Group to Better Reflect Complexity of Business and Comparative Size of Revenues: Our Compensation Committee refined our peer group to better reflect the growth and increasing complexity of our global business, as well as our need to tap employee talent markets beyond real estate to successfully operate our business. The Committee also ensured that all peers in the refined group were appropriate in size from a revenue standpoint.

Detail on compensation program improvements

As discussed above, in response to our 2021 Say-on-Pay vote and related stockholder feedback, our Compensation Committee approved the following improvements to our executive compensation program:

  1.  

  Annual Bonus Program

·

Increased the quantitative corporate score weighting to 80% for all NEOs:

This weighting, which places more emphasis on the quantitative corporate score, now applies to all NEOs (it already applied to our CEO). The other NEOs were previously subject to a 60% corporate score / 40% individual performance weighting.

This weighting applied to bonus payments made in 2022 for performance achieved in 2021.

·

Disclosed all quantitative corporate score bonus metrics:

We enhanced the discussion of our annual bonus program to include comprehensive disclosure of all quantitative targets used to determine our corporate score (which can be found on pages 60-62).

·

Increased weighting of quantitative, measurable ESG metrics in our annual Bonus Scorecard:

ESG metrics will account for 10%of our overall corporate score for bonus payments made in 2023 for performance achieved in 2022.

See the following page for additional detail on the quantitative ESG bonus metrics we adopted and our rationale for selecting these metrics.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

  2.  

  Long-Term Incentive (LTI) Program

·

No payout will occur if performance is less than 500 bps below index TSR: This eliminates any discretion to make payouts in the annual LTI award program below this threshold.

·

Increased the rigor of the LTI payout scale: Target payout (100% of award) is achieved only when we outperform the index by at least 100 bps. See table below for enhanced payout scale.

·

We also expanded the payout scale to cap the maximum payout at 200% of target payout for 500+ bps outperformance, consistent with market standards for upside payout opportunities.

·

See page 64 for a discussion of the benchmark index we use to calculate LTI equity awards.

LOGO

  3.  

  Perquisites

·

Previously, the company paid for financial planning services and parking for all NEOs. We eliminated both of these benefits beginning in 2021, further reducing already minimal NEO perquisites.

2019 Compensation and Stockholder Outreach Highlights

Our compensation program pays when stockholders win.

Target core compensation is aimed around the median of our comparison group.

Our REIT comparison group underrepresents the size and scope of Prologis.

Outperformance opportunities make up for the size and scope discrepancy—but are paid only if investors are substantially rewarded first.

Compensation levels are dictated by the level of our performance. Essentially 100% of our CEO compensation is based on performance, with most components determined formulaically.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Discussion of Compensation Comparison Group

No REITs represent a true comparison to Prologis.

Our overall approach is to position target core compensation around the median of our compensation comparison group. To compensate for our much larger size and scope, we offer outperformance plans that deliver compensation only if superior performance is achieved.

Our Compensation Committee sets a competitive reference point for the elements of target total core compensation (annual base salary, annual bonus and annual LTI equity awards) around the market median of a comparison group oflarge-cap REITs. Target compensation is positioned within a reasonable range of the competitive reference point based on the NEO’s level of experience, past performance, importance of role and anticipated future contributions.

In April 2019, FW Cook, our independent compensation consultant, conducted its annual compensation analysis on behalf of the Compensation Committee. According to our 2019 competitive analysis, the target core compensation of Mr. Moghadam, Mr. Reilly, Mr. Anderson and Mr. Olinger was positioned, in most cases, significantly lower than the median of the comparison group. In fact, Mr. Moghadam’s core compensation was near the 25th percentile of the peer group. Although these findings support higher target core compensation, the Compensation Committee did not increase target core compensation for the NEOs in 2019.

The comparison group used by FW Cook comprised 11large-cap REITs that are generally the largest internally managed U.S. publicly traded equity REITs by market capitalization. Although the REITs in our compensation comparison group were among the closest in comparison to us, the combination of our global reach, significant development platform, and size and scope of our strategic capital business puts us in a unique category. Such companies may individually demonstrate strength in one or two of these categories, but not across all.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

NEO compensation is tied to performance of assets held in consolidated and unconsolidated entities.

Our NEOs’ compensation is tied to the performance of all assets represented by our AUM, not just our consolidated assets.

· 

Our AUM(1)captures an additional $54.8 billionHighly profitable complementary business: Prologis receives fees for our management of the properties held by the ventures and “promote incentives” when we meet certain pre-negotiated IRR or other financial hurdles. Prologis was paid $456 million in assets that we manageasset management fees and promote incentives in our strategic capital business but are not included in our consolidated balance sheet. In 2019, these assets generated revenue representing 51% of our owned and managed net operating income.(2)

2021. Due to thethis additional income generated by managementsuch fees, and promotes paid to us by our strategic capital ventures, our return on assets held in our strategic capitalStrategic Capital business is greater than the return on assets held on our balance sheet by approximately 300317 bps.

·

Accelerates our growth: Strategic Capital is a differentiator. It allows us to self-fund capital development without having to access public equity markets for annual deployment needs, unlike competitors who issue new equity to raise capital. Our Strategic Capital ventures provide an additional $7.5 billion in investment capacity that we can use to grow our business.

Unrivaled scale and scope in logistics real estate

·

Global scale unmatched among logistics REITs: $2.2 trillion of goods flow through our facilities annually, equivalent to 2.5% of the world’s GDP.(1) This provides tremendous opportunities of scale. Our global land bank can support an estimated $26.4B of future development on an owned and managed basis. The combination of our global reach, significant development platform, and synergy of our Strategic Capital business sets us apart from other logistics REITs. The growth of our Essentials business and other enterprises that complement our core business together create significant value beyond the walls of our real estate.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Refined Compensation Comparison Group

Rationale and methodology

We refined our peer comparison group in 2021 to reflect stockholder feedback, select peers of appropriate size, and align with the following considerations about our continued growth and ongoing business transformation:

CONTINUED

BUSINESS EXPANSION
AND EVOLUTION

COMPETITION   

FOR TALENT ACROSS   

INDUSTRIES   

PEER GROUP REFLECTING    PROLOGIS’ BUSINESS   

AND TALENT MARKETS  

We are continuing to transform beyond a traditional REIT, evidenced by the growth in our worldwide operations, development and Strategic Capital platforms, assets under management, and our enterprises beyond real estate such as Prologis Essentials. As a result, there is no directly comparable REIT or other peer in the market.

We compete for talent not just with other REITs, but increasingly with companies across industries, including with private equity firms and private real estate investors and developers. We need the financial acumen to conduct complex transactions, such as in our Strategic Capital business and Prologis Ventures group. We also require the technological expertise to manage global logistics operations and drive cutting-edge logistics innovation in our Essentials business and sustainability initiatives.

Our compensation comparison group should reflect these realities and comprise companies similar to us in scope. It should more accurately align with our key business and talent markets, which we consider to be (1) real estate; (2) business-to-business technology; and (3) complex financial services.

·

With guidance from Pay Governance, our Compensation Committee consultant for 2021, the Committee selected a group of 19 companies of appropriate size and complexity (with revenues generally 0.5x to 2x our revenues and market capitalizations from 0.25x to 2x our market cap). This peer group also gives equal weight to the three industry sectors we identified as our business and talent markets. Our 2021 peer group is listed on the following page.

·

Among these peers, Prologis was in the 77th percentile of market capitalization of the group when it was constituted. At that time, our market capitalization was $108B versus a peer group average of $74B. Prologis is in the 39th percentile of this group for FY2020 revenue.

·

Some of the REITs in our refined peer group also include technology companies in their own peer groups.

·

We include five large-cap REITs of appropriate size in our refined peer group. However, with $215.1B in AUM, Prologis’ AUM is 184% larger than the Large-cap REIT Group average AUM of $75.6B.(1)

·

Moreover, Prologis is differentiated from other REITs in terms of scope and diversity of business ventures, including our Strategic Capital and Essentials businesses. Therefore, a peer group comprised solely of REITs would be insufficient to represent the nature of our business and the talent pool we target for recruiting.

·

Accordingly, we selected peers that include a mix of large-cap REITs, complex financial services and business-to-business technology that reflect the full scope of our business.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Total size of Strategic Capital, a critical component of our business, must be considered in peer group selection

·

Our consolidated revenues do not fully capture our Strategic Capital business: Our NEOs manage a business that is significantly larger than our consolidated revenues alone indicate. In fact, consolidated revenues do not capture the majority of our Strategic Capital business. Of the $95.4B total assets under management (AUM) in our Strategic Capital business, $78.7 billion of those assets are held in unconsolidated Strategic Capital ventures. The assets held in our unconsolidated ventures are not included in our consolidated balance sheet and, therefore, revenue associated with such assets is not reflected in our consolidated revenues.

·

Our NEOs are assessed on the performance of our total business, including Strategic Capital: Our NEOs are assessed on the performance of our full portfolio, including all assets held by our Strategic Capital ventures. Selecting peers based solely on consolidated revenues and thereby comparing the total compensation of our NEOs to that of executives at other companies with significantly smaller AUM disregards a large portion of our NEOs’ responsibilities related to the performance and operation of the real estate in our Strategic Capital ventures. These duties include leasing, development, acquisition, disposition and maintenance of real estate; capital sourcing; financial, legal and tax planning; structuring and operation of our two public Strategic Capital ventures; and management of customer and investor relationships across 19 countries.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Summary of Compensation Elements

LOGO

We position core compensation around the peer group median; outperformance compensation is paid only for significant above-market performance

Our Compensation Committee’s 2021 competitive analysis confirmed that our core compensation is within a reasonable band of median pay among the companies in our refined peer comparison group.

We allow greater earning opportunities only if high-reach outperformance hurdles are met and significant value is created for our stockholders. POP and PPP awards are only a small fraction of the total stockholder value created.

POP: Hurdle is 100% formulaic – three-year compound annualized TSR must exceed the MSCI U.S. REIT Index by 100 bps or no POP awards are paid. In 2018, we adopted an absolute maximum cap on the total POP award pool of $100 million. We have not increased that cap since then, even though our TSR was 207.9% over the same period.

PPP: Hurdles are 100% formulaic and negotiated with third parties who have a keen interest in setting high-reach hurdles that will incentivize very strong fund performance. When hurdles are met our stockholders benefit doubly, as Prologis receives promote fees while the value of our ownership share of the ventures also increases. PPP awards vary greatly year-to-year due to performance period timing and achievement of hurdles, thus averaging PPP awards across multiple years better reflects the size of this program than any one year (see page 74).

NEO team key to long-term company performance: In 2021, the Compensation Committee reaffirmed its belief that our experienced NEO team, which has an average tenure of over 25 years at Prologis and collectively over 170 years of experience, has been critical to Prologis’ results. Furthermore, this team is essential to training the next generation of company leaders. For example, Mr. Olinger’s leadership was vital in extensively preparing our next CFO, Mr. Arndt, for the role to ensure an effective succession in our financial strategy. This additional lens affirmed the Committee’s determination that our compensation program supports long-term value creation. The Committee will continue to assess our program to ensure compensation is consistent with the experience and tenure of our future leaders.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

2021 Core Compensation - Base Salary and Bonus Opportunity

CEO base salary continues at $1; NEO base salaries reflect their duties

·

At our CEO’s request, the Compensation Committee reduced his base salary to $1 in 2019 and did not increase his base salary in 2021.

·

The rest of our CEO’s previous base salary ($999,999) was shifted to at-risk pay – equity compensation contingent on performance and subject to 4-year vesting. Our Compensation Committee determined the actual amounts using the operational performance criteria from our bonus program.

·

Requested by our CEO to further demonstrate his commitment to our company, this change offers no additional upside to him. The amounts he can earn are capped at $999,999. If performance goals are not achieved, he will earn less than $999,999.

·

The Compensation Committee determined that the maximum value of this award ($999,999) would be paid if company performance was at or greater than target (using our corporate score assessed against our annual bonus plan metrics). As discussed in greater detail below, our corporate results yielded above-target performance and a corporate score for annual bonus purposes of 175% of target.

·

As such, the Compensation Committee awarded Mr. Moghadam $999,999 in equity with 4-year vesting in lieu of 2021 salary. Because this equity award was granted in 2022, it will be reported in our Summary Compensation Table for the year 2022. See discussion of our bonus determinations for further detail.

·

In late 2020, our Compensation Committee, with data and input from our compensation consultant, determined that the base salaries and target bonuses of Gene Reilly, Gary Anderson and Ed Nekritz should be increased to reflect increases in their responsibilities. The base salaries of these NEOs were last increased in 2015 and their bonus targets have not been modified since the AMB-ProLogis merger in 2011. Prologis’ total portfolio AUM has increased by 262% since their last base salary increase while our G&A expense as a percentage of AUM has decreased by 3,208 bps. Over the same period, our Essentials business and our sustainability, energy, government affairs and other programs have also grown dramatically. These developments in our business have correspondingly resulted in a meaningful expansion of the scope and magnitude of the duties of these NEOs. We increased the base salaries of the applicable NEOs from $600,000 in 2020 to, for Mr. Reilly, $700,000, and for Mr. Anderson and Mr. Nekritz, $650,000, each beginning in 2021. The bonus targets were also increased from $750,000 to, for Mr. Reilly, $1,050,000, for Mr. Anderson, $877,500, and for Mr. Nekritz, $845,000. In its 2021 competitive analysis, our Compensation Committee confirmed that these updated base salaries and bonus targets continue to be within the band of competitive pay among the companies in our 2021 refined compensation comparison group. The base salaries and target bonuses of Mr. Moghadam and Mr. Olinger were not altered for 2021.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Bonus structure supports our top strategic priorities

How we select our bonus metrics and Analysisset our targets:

·

Our bonus metrics are set annually to reflect the company’s business imperatives and to tie to our 3-year strategic plan.

·

We set targets to incentivize progress on our current strategic priorities, which may change from year to year as goals are achieved and strategy evolves. For example, given our intensified focus on customer centricity, we added a net promoter score (NPS) to measure customer satisfaction. We also included an average occupancy metric in our Portfolio Operations category to increase the focus of our team on leasing the assets in our portfolio, which became a greater focus following the emergence of COVID-19 in 2020.

·

We set our bonus metrics to drive strong operational performance over the long-term. For example, our performance has resulted in a 9.7% dividend CAGR, 18.0% net earnings per share CAGR, 12.3% Core FFO per share CAGR, over the past seven years.(1)

LOGO

(1)

Core FFO per share is a non-GAAP measure. Please see Appendix A for a discussion and reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Portfolio Operations metrics are the most heavily weighted:

·

Our 2021 bonuses were largely determined by our performance on operational metrics in the Portfolio Operations category (weighted at 50% of our total score vs. 25% for the two other categories). These operational metrics for 2021 were: (i) Core FFO per share, (ii) GAAP same store NOI growth, (iii) rent change on rollovers and (iv) average occupancy. These metrics have the most impact on the success of our business and are important to our stockholders in assessing the health and performance of our business.

·

Our 2021 Core FFO per share(1) target was set at a rigorous level, requiring significantly better performance than in 2020. Our target 2021 Core FFO per share (excluding promotes) was set about 9% higher than our 2020 Core FFO per share (also adjusted to exclude promotes).

·

Our target rent change on rollover (RCOR) metric for 2021 was 18.0% and our SSNOI 2021 target was 2.4%, both for our full owned and managed portfolio. They were set at rigorous levels based on a lease-by-lease and property-level analysis conducted to determine targets based on market indicators. Because the composition of the pool of properties changes from year to year, RCOR and SSNOI metrics year-over-year may not be comparable. Likewise, average occupancy is dependent on market conditions and the status of leases in our portfolio, among other conditions. Therefore, although set at rigorous levels for the current set of properties, RCOR, SSNOI and average occupancy metrics may not necessarily show an increase from year to year.

·

Similarly, the metrics in the Deployment and Development Stabilizations category are a function of our development pipeline projections at the time the bonus targets are set. We set these metrics based on our then-current assessment of the properties that will be available to stabilize and contribute to ventures in the applicable year, which fluctuates

PROLOGIS PROXY STATEMENT  |  MARCH 25, 2022

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

 

 

from the development pipeline of prior measurement periods. As such, while we set our development stabilizations, development stabilizations – margin, and contributions to Strategic Capital metrics at rigorous levels for 2021, the targets we set for these metrics may not necessarily be higher than the performance we achieved in the prior period.

2021 bonus assessment results

·

Based on strong NEO performance against the quantitative metrics of our bonus scorecard, our Compensation Committee concluded that we earned an above-target corporate score resulting in bonus payouts of 175% of target. See the tables below for more detail on how our corporate score was calculated.

Determination of our corporate score: The weightings of the above-target scores for each of the three categories yielded an overall corporate score of 187.5% of target. Following a holistic assessment of our entire compensation program results for 2021, the Compensation Committee determined that it was appropriate to pay bonus amounts less than the scorecard-generated amounts. Therefore, the Compensation Committee ultimately awarded bonuses to our NEOs based on an overall corporate score of 175% of target.

Committee assessment of Mr. Moghadam’s individual contributions: Under Mr. Moghadam’s leadership, the executive team led the company in another year of significant accomplishment. Our continued focus on customers’ needs, our significant well-located land bank, our Strategic Capital and Essentials businesses, and other areas of revenue growth differentiates and positions us for strong long-term growth and continued market leadership. We continue to make culture a priority as we create an environment where everyone can succeed. We seek and develop the best, brightest and most diverse talent to remain future-ready. Under Mr. Moghadam’s guidance, Prologis’ annualized 3-year TSR outperformed the Cohen & Steers REIT index and our LTI equity award logistics REIT benchmark index by approximately 2,550 bps and 1,610 bps, respectively. Mr. Moghadam also leveraged our unique vantage point in the heart of the global supply chain by launching our Groundbreakers thought leadership forum and magazine with in-depth examinations of emerging technologies, trends and innovations from logistics leaders around the world.

·

Committee assessment of other NEO contributions:

Portfolio Operations: Our NEO team delivered Core FFO(1) of $4.09 per share (excluding Strategic Capital promotes), representing 14.2% year-over-year growth. Mr. Reilly delivered exceptional operating results: RCOR, SSNOI Growth and Average Occupancy all exceeded their rigorous targets. Mr. Nekritz led his team in negotiations and execution of over $10.0 billion in real estate transactions.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Development and Development Stabilizations: Even in the face of unprecedented material shortages and rising costs, the profitability of our overall development program continued to be excellent in 2021. Mr. Reilly oversaw the stabilization of developments above our stretch goal and with margins that also significantly exceeded our stretch goal.

3Cs and G&A/AUM: Mr. Anderson delivered an above-stretch $267 million in procurement savings as well as Essentials net revenue above our stretch target by outperforming in LED lighting, solar and energy resale. Mr. Reilly and Mr. Anderson led customer-focused efforts that increased our global NPS score by 9 points and improved the real estate employee engagement score by 5% from 2020 to 90%. Mr. Nekritz continued to elevate our ESG leadership, resulting in top ESG rankings from third-party reviewers and the expansion of our Community Workforce Initiative to 15 markets. Diverse hires in our real estate roles were 73% in the United States. Globally, 50% of all real estate roles are held by female employees. We exceeded our regrettable turnover goal, with less than 25% of all turnover being regrettable.

Balance sheet considerations: Our balance sheet and credit metrics are the strongest in our history. We have significant liquidity as well as debt capacity to self-fund our growth for the foreseeable future. Under Mr. Olinger’s leadership, we maintained our A3/A- ratings by Moody’s and S&P(2), respectively, with one of the top balance sheets in our industry. Mr. Olinger, who was named Institutional Investor’s #1 REIT CFO for the third consecutive year, completed over $11.5 billion in debt transactions with an average rate of 1.3% and average term of 7.7 years.

Strategic Capital considerations: Mr. Anderson, Mr. Olinger and Mr. Nekritz oversaw the wind-up of our UKLV venture, which resulted in 26.2% IRR versus its 9-10% target and generated 45M sterling in 2021 gross promotes. Our Strategic Capital team negotiated and closed $3.2 billion of commitments into open-ended vehicles. We also raised $4.4 billion for our Strategic Capital business, our third largest raise since the merger of AMB and ProLogis in 2011, and our Strategic Capital ventures are all outperforming their benchmarks.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Annual LTI equity award benchmark index is an appropriate balance of logistics and large cap REITs

·

50% logistics REITs: Stockholders requested that we add a measure of performance against other logistics REITS to our compensation program. Following that feedback, we include public logistics REITs into our LTI award formula.

·

The weightings between the domestic and global logistics REITs generally reflect the relative breakdown between our global and domestic AUM.

·

50% large-cap REITs: Very few logistics REITs and even fewer global logistics REITs exist. The logistics REITs that do exist are much smaller than Prologis, so we also use the Cohen & Steers REIT Index to compare our performance against larger sized companies. The Cohen & Steers REIT Index is a performance benchmark that includes approximately 30 large-cap REITs and is important to our stockholders to evaluate our performance against other large-cap REITs. Including this index in our LTI formula also mitigates the volatility of the smaller logistics REITs and prevents any one company’s performance from having overriding influence on our LTI awards.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

CEO core compensation directly correlates with stockholder return

· 

The following graphicbelow chart illustrates the link between CEO core compensation (consisting of base salary, annual bonus and annual LTI equity awards) and the company’s three-year TSR and Core FFO per share, demonstrating that core compensation is alignedaligns with our relative TSR and operational performance.

 

· 

Although we had strong operational performance in 2015, our three-year annualized TSR at the end of 2015 underperformed the TSR indicesbenchmark index used for our LTI equity awards by 550 bps. Core compensation is comprised mostly of our equity formula. As core compensation primarily comprises annual LTI equity, awards (measured bywhich is tied to our three-year TSR),TSR. As a result, our CEO’s core compensation was impacted heavily downward whensignificantly lower in 2015 because annual LTI equity awards were paid out at only 50% of target due to TSR underperformance.

 

· 

Since 2015, we have outperformed both operationally and in terms of relative TSR, performance, correlating withresulting in higher CEO core compensation. Note, however, that our LTI equity awards are capped at 500 bps above index, so although we performed significantly better than 500 bps above the index in each of the last five years, core compensation has not increased to a corresponding degree.

2021 Outperformance Compensation

·

Awards require significant outperformance: Our program allows outperformance earning opportunities only if high-reach hurdles are met, which creates significant value for our stockholders. POP and PPP awards are each only a small fraction of the total associated value created for our stockholders.

We created $55.8 billion of value over the performance of MSCI REIT Index, the measurement index that we use to determine whether POP awards are payable. By exceeding PPP hurdles for the relevant performance periods, we created $309 million of value for our stockholders. The corresponding POP and PPP awards paid to our CEO were only 0.04% and 1.4% of the value generated for our stockholders in our outperformance programs, respectively.(1)

2021 Outperformance Compensation – POP

Rewards significant relative TSR outperformance and incentivizes long-term retention

·

POP is a critical element of our compensation program:

Talent recruiting and retention: In the highly competitive market for talent brought on by the “Great Resignation”, POP is a critical tool used to attract top management talent. Similarly, POP’s long vesting period supports the retention of our NEOs, whose experience is critical to executing our strategy and training our next generation of leaders.

Geared toward optimal stockholder return: POP extends to about 100 participants, supporting a teamwork mentality deep in our organization that motivates POP participants across the company to drive long-term outperformance. POP performance hurdles require that significant stockholder value is created for POP awards to pay out.

HOW IT WORKS continued

Prologis Outperformance Plan (POP)

LOGO

·

No POP payment when absolute TSR is negative: POP awards cannot be paid when our absolute TSR is negative. If a pool funds because our relative TSR exceeds the POP performance hurdle, but our absolute TSR is negative, then the awards will not be paid unless and until absolute TSR becomes positive. The award will expire seven years after the end of the performance period if absolute TSR does not become positive within that period.

·

POP improvements based on stockholder feedback: In response to past stockholder feedback, we:

Adopted absolute maximum cap: We implemented a limit on the potential size of the POP award pool by applying an absolute maximum cap of $100 million on the total aggregate POP pool for all participants starting with the 2018-2020 performance period.

Although we delivered TSR of 207.9% since 2018, we have maintained the POP maximum award pool cap at $100 million.

Adopted extended vesting: We imposed seven-year cliff vesting on the bulk (80%) of earned POP awards.

Although the new vesting construct was effective for performance periods starting in 2018, our NEOs demonstrated deep commitment to the company by voluntarily electing to apply this vesting construct retroactively to their awards earned for the 2016-2018 and 2017-2019 performance periods. The NEOs did not receive any benefit in exchange for their election.

2021 Outperformance Compensation Discussion and Analysis– PPP

Rewards significant operating outperformance of our Strategic Capital ventures

·

Incentivizes Strategic Capital outperformance, a key driver of competitive advantage: Strategic Capital is a high-margin business that accelerates our growth responsibly. The assets held in our Strategic Capital business yield higher returns than the assets we own directly because Strategic Capital generates additional income from management fees as well as “promotes” when applicable ventures perform exceptionally well. As discussed in the following pages, PPP awards are paid exclusively out of the promote fees that Prologis receives, meaning that such awards are available only when substantial value is created for our stockholders through our Strategic Capital business.

·

Strategic Capital investors support the need for PPP: Our Strategic Capital investors want a compensation program tied directly to the success of the funds in which they invest.

·

PPP is a critical recruitment tool: We need a compensation program component tied specifically to our Strategic Capital business to attract the best talent from the finance industry, private real estate companies, and other similar business sectors. PPP resembles the profit-sharing structures typically seen in private equity firms, which aligns our compensation with the expectations of the talent we recruit to Strategic Capital from the private equity industry.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

·

PPP awards are highly variable based on promotes: The chart below demonstrates that while PPP awards are paid only when Strategic Capital outperformance justifies payment, PPP award timing and amounts are highly variable depending on promote timing. The value of promotes earned by Prologis in any given year, and therefore the amount of PPP awards paid, depends on the availability of promote calculation opportunities and the timing of performance periods across our Strategic Capital ventures (as well as whether we achieve the performance hurdle).

·

Average annual PPP awards better accounts for variability: Average annual PPP awards over multiple years provides a clearer understanding of the true size of our PPP program because of variance in the availability of promote earning opportunities in our Strategic Capital business and the cadence of performance periods.

· 

We exceeded71% YOY decrease in CEO PPP compensation: In 2021, our CEO’s PPP compensation decreased by 71% year-over-year. This is not a reflection of a decrease in our Strategic Capital performance. Rather, it is due to the difficult promote hurdles of five of our ventures, resulting in payments offact that PPP awards are dependent not only on performance, but also on the timing of performance periods and calculation opportunities negotiated with Strategic Capital investors. There were fewer such opportunities in 2019.2021.

PPP awards are earned if Prologis achieves certain high-reach promote hurdles. The promote thresholds relating to PPP awards are certain investment rates of return established as an incentive to Prologis to drive exceptional performance of the applicable venture.hurdle detail

        

The promote hurdles are formulaic and difficult to achieve. Promotes are negotiated at arm’s length with institutional investors whose interest is to set the hurdles at superior levels to warrant a payout of incentive fees to the company.

Our stockholders and venture investors benefit when we exceed the strenuous promote hurdles. $1.2 billion in aggregate value was created for our stockholders over the relevant measurement periods, which represents Prologis’ ownership share of the net asset value growth of the applicable ventures (or in the case of our development ventures, the stabilized value of the applicable developments less construction costs), the management fees paid to Prologis during the measurement periods and theAcross all promotes paid to Prologis in achieving2021 that gave rise to PPP awards, the hurdles. Surpassing theseweighted average performance period was 4.1 years and the hurdles required a minimum weighted average IRR of 9.4%.

Prologis’ net promote hurdles also means that we provided outsized returns to our venture investors.revenue in 2021 was $77 million.

 

Prologis also earned a total of $185 million in management and other fees from the ventures that paid promotes to Prologis in 2021.

 

Due to surpassing the hurdles and earning the promotes, $12.9 million in aggregate PPP awards was paid to our CEO in 2019. These PPP awards were only 1.1% of the $1.2 billion in total value created for our stockholders when we achieved the strenuous hurdles.

The “total value created for stockholders when we achieved the PPP hurdles” is calculated by determining our ownership share of the growth in net asset value (adjusting for dividends) of the applicable ventures during the incentive period, gross of any promote accrual for the applicable ventures, adding in management fees paid by such ventures to Prologis during the same period. The “total value created when we achieved the PPP hurdles” excludes equity transactions that, while impacting net asset value, did not create value for the venture, such as capital contributions, returns of capital, etc. It also excludes Prologis’ ownership share of management fees paid to Prologis by the ventures. In 2019,2021, we also earned PPP awards in relation to our development ventures. Value created with respect to the development ventures was calculated as the stabilized values of all properties subject to a development promote less construction costs. The promotes relevant to this calculation were the promotes related to the PPP awards paid in 2019. For further detail on PPP, please see “How It Works: Prologis Promote Plan (PPP).”2021.

2019 Compensation Decisions: Annual Base Salary and Bonus Opportunity

CEO base salary reduced to $1; No increases made to other NEO base salaries

For many years, our CEO has requested to take $1 for his salary. Responding to this request, the Compensation Committee reduced our CEO’s base salary to $1. In assessing the overall compensation package of our other NEOs, the Compensation Committee held the NEOs’ base salaries at $600,000 for the 2019 performance year.

The rest of our CEO’s previous base salary ($999,999) was shifted to equity compensation contingent on performance and subject to4-year vesting. Our Compensation Committee determined the amounts using operational performance criteria used for our bonus program. See discussion of our bonus and annual LTI equity grant decisions for further detail.

Requested by our CEO to further demonstrate his commitment to our company, this change offers no additional upside to him. The amounts he can earn are capped at $999,999. If performance goals are not achieved, he will earn less than $999,999.

HOW IT WORKS

Bonus Calculation Process

Quantitative assessment:

 Based on performance against operational metrics weighted according to their significance.

 Metrics set in a range to provide payouts between 50% and 200% of target (50% being the threshold payout to 200% as the stretch payout). A score for each metric is generated based on where actual results fall within the range.

Qualitative assessment:

 Evaluation of all qualitative results in the larger context of our overarching business strategy and changes in the operating and economic environments.

Corporate score determination:

 Quantitative and qualitative performance assessments result in scores assigned to each bonus metric category.

 Such scores are multiplied by the weight assigned to the metric category and added together to determine the overall corporate score (which translates into a percentage of the target bonus pool).

 The target bonus pool equals the sum of all employee bonus targets (generally, a percentage of base salary) at 100%.

NEO bonus determination:

 Each NEO’s bonus is based on corporate and individual performance. The corporate score determines 80% of our CEO’s bonus and 60% of our other NEO’s bonuses.

No minimum guaranteed bonus

Cap: Capped at 200% of target bonus.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Our bonus structure allows for prudent decisions—downward discretion reduced 2019 bonuses despite strong operational performance.

How we select our bonus metrics and set our targets

Our bonus metrics are set to reflect current company strategy. We build our bonus targets accordingly to account for the interplay of bonus metrics in achieving our strategy as a whole. For example, our current strategy is to focus on rent increases, rather than increasing occupancy. We anticipate this strategy to push rents higher will be at the expense of occupancy but in the best interest of long-term value. As such, although we maintained high average occupancy in 2019 at 97.0%, we removed occupancy growth as a bonus metric.

Our 2019 bonuses were largely determined by our performance on operational metrics (weighted at 40% of our total score): Core FFO per share, same store net operating income (“SSNOI”) growth and rent change on rollovers.These metrics are important to our stockholders in assessing the health and performance of our business.

We also removed our bonus metric regarding land and the disposal ofnon-strategic assets because we completed our multiyear disposition program. As the direction of our platform initiatives unfolds, we further developed the bonus metric supporting such initiatives to include specific submetrics for procurement and ancillary revenues. We also added a submetric, G&A as a percentage of AUM (“G&A/AUM”), to ensure that we remain vigilant over expenses as we implement new strategies. We used a calculation of net effective SSNOI for our 2019 SSNOI bonus metric rather than on a cash basis as it was calculated for our 2018 metric. The inclusion ofnon-cash items, including straight-line rent adjustments and amortization of lease intangibles, in the calculation of net effective SSNOI was determined by the committee to be a more consistent indicator of overall results and lease economics.

LOGO

Requiring better performance than our 2018 results, 2019 Core FFO and rent change on rollover bonus targets were set at rigorous levels. Our target 2019 Core FFO per share(1) bonus metric (including a constant level of promotes) was 8% higher than our 2018 Core FFO per share(1) similarly adjusted for a constant level of promotes. Our target 2019 rent change on rollover metric increased by 24% over our 2018 rent change on rollover. We intentionally set our targeted 2019 SSNOI(1) at 80 bps lower than 2018 performance. As discussed above, this was due to our team’s continued focus on pushing rental rates and lease terms which will maximize overall base economics but, in the short term, will place downward pressure on occupancy and income duringlease-up periods.

We set our bonus metrics to support our strategy ensuring strong operational performance over the long-term. For example, our performance over the long term exceeding rigorous targets has resulted in a 14.7% and 12% compound annual growth rate in our net earnings per share and Core FFO per share, respectively, over the past five years.(1)

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The Compensation Committee’s approach to our 2019 bonus allocation

As our compensation program is largely formulaic and bonuses are a small component (less than 12%) of our NEOs’ total compensation (per the 2019 Summary Compensation Table), the Compensation Committee believes it is appropriate to use a combination of quantitative and qualitative assessments.

Metrics constituting 75% of our bonus determination by weight (portfolio operations, deployment and strategic capital) are assessed quantitatively based on actual performance against metric levels set in a range to provide payout between 50% to 200% of target. The committee does a qualitative assessment of how well we executed on our strategic priorities, evaluating our quantitative results in the context of our overarching business plan. This also gives the committee the flexibility to avoid unintended consequences and ensure that we are not rewarding individuals hitting formulaic benchmarks to the detriment of the long-term health of the company.

The committee’s past decisions have proven their ability to use their best judgment in a prudent and responsible manner. They have rarely given a corporate score higher than 150% of target even when there is exceptional operational performance.

The committee exercised downward discretion for our bonuses for the 2019 performance year for the second year in a row. In 2019, we completed a year of significant accomplishment, reflecting solid execution by our team. However, upon the request of our CEO, the committee exercised negative discretion to reduce our corporate score. At the end of 2019, we saw a deterioration of operating metrics on a Prologis share basis, which had a direct impact on our earnings. Although our operating results were strong at the end of the year, our CEO requested that the committee consider this factor and reduce our bonuses accordingly. As a result, the committee reduced the corporate score from 127.5% of target to 120% of target.

Core FFO per share and SSNOI arenon-GAAP measures. Please see Appendix A for a discussion and reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure and a calculation of the compound annual growth rate of our Core FFO per share.

Corporate score and NEO bonus assessments

Similar to prior years, the Compensation Committee weighted portfolio operational metrics significantly higher than any other bonus metric category (40% vs.10%-25%) as the portfolio operational metrics have the most impact on the success of our business. Because our 2019 overall bonus score is largely driven by portfolio operational results as the highest component of revenue of our business (and targets for other bonus metric categories are competitively sensitive), we only disclose targets for our operational metrics.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Committee assessment:Overall, our company-wide operations in 2019 delivered strong results above target. We were significantly above target in rent change on rollover and above target in Core FFO per share. SSNOI growth was slightly below target due to lower than planned occupancy.

Individual NEO contributions:Mr. Reilly delivered strong overall results for the global real estate teams, finishingyear-end occupancy of 96.5%, rent change on rollover of 23.6% and above target SSNOI growth. Mr. Reilly also drove G&A/AUM down, leveraging scale and managing overhead growth. He, Mr. Nekritz and Mr. Olinger led the $4.0 billion Industrial Property Trust (“IPT”) acquisition and the $13.0 billion Liberty Property Trust (“LPT”) acquisition. Mr. Nekritz led his team in negotiations and execution of over $4.0 billion in real estate transactions (excluding the IPT and LPT transactions), realizing significant legal cost savings.

Calculation of score:Based on these results, the Compensation Committee scored our portfolio operations metric at 127% of target.

LOGO

Deployment and Development Stabilizations WEIGHTED AT 25% ABOVE TARGET OVERALL

Committee assessment: The profitability of our development program continues to be excellent and, overall, above target. We stabilized $2.9 billion of new projects, ahead of our target, with a margin of 35% that significantly exceeded our stretch goal. Contributions also exceeded our targets.

Individual NEO contributions: Mr. Curless led ourbuild-to-suit program with 33 development starts with $1.3 billion in total estimated investment, and strong global customer retention. Mr. Curless also leveraged the global customer team to drive 264 development and leasing transactions. In addition, Mr. Reilly also oversaw $3.5 billion of new development starts and stabilized $2.9 billion of developments, all ahead of plan.

Calculation of score:Based on these results, the Compensation Committee scored our deployment and development stabilizations metric at 145.5% of target.

LOGO

Strategic Capital WEIGHTED AT 10% ABOVE TARGET OVERALL

Committee assessment: Our strategic capital group had aggressive goals in 2019 for AUM growth, capital raising and formation of our new China venture. We had a record-breaking capital raising year of $6.5 billion, well over our stretch goal. We grew our strategic capital platform to over $37.6 billion of third party AUM as we contributed and acquired strategic assets that were accretive to our funds in terms of quality and earnings. Also to note, we had another year of significant net promote income, generating $120 million in 2019.

Individual NEO contributions:Fundraising teams under Mr. Anderson raised $6.5 billion in capital. Under the leadership of Mr. Anderson, Mr. Nekritz and Mr. Reilly, we formed a Brazil fund and, under the guidance of Mr. Anderson and Mr. Nekritz, an open-ended China fund. Mr. Anderson and Mr. Olinger oversaw a secondary equity offering by NPR, our Japanese public vehicle. Mr. Nekritz led the negotiations and structuring of funds, joint ventures and other transactions in excess of $3 billion.

Calculation of score: All such factors considered, the Compensation Committee scored our strategic capital metric at above target overall (at 200% of target).

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Procurement, Ancillary Revenues, Five Drivers of Competitive Advantage and G&A/AUM WEIGHTED AT 25% BELOW TARGET OVERALL

Committee assessment: Our platform initiatives comprise five company priorities to push innovation, get ahead of the evolution of logistics and leverage our scale to capture value beyond real estate. These priorities focus on procurement, ancillary revenues and services, inclusion and diversity, customer experience, data analytics, and continuous improvement, what we formerly called the Five Drivers. We have streamlined the Five Drivers platform initiatives into the Prologis 3Cs (focusing on customer centricity, change through innovation and operational excellence and culture and talent).

In 2019, we continued to make progress on our platform initiatives. We had success in procurement, negotiating cost reductions in our contracts significantly over our stretch goals. While work was done to streamline our Prologis Essentials initiative and the program gained momentum at the end of 2019, the program had a slow start and ancillary revenues were below target at our threshold goal.

We made substantial progress on increasing ethnic diversity in our organization and introducing training on inclusion and the Prologis Traits, key characteristics enabling success such as agility and innovation. Through our data analytics initiative, we developed and tested risk analytics for lease renewals while gathering valuable insight and feedback to improve revenue management activities. G&A/AUM was below threshold due to higher stock-based compensation resulting from the increase of our share price.

Individual NEO contributions: Mr. Reilly drove the adoption rate of our Clear Lease, a streamlined customer-focused leasing structure, to 75% in the U.S., Mexico and Brazil and launched the program in Europe. Mr. Anderson delivered $83 million in procurement savings above target, while implementing a revenue management tool in the U.S. In addition, Mr. Anderson led “kaizen” programs focused on global process improvement and the internationalroll-out of our CARE program establishing a system of customer touchpoints across the organization.

To drive customer-centricity, Mr. Curless developed our customer NPS (net promoter score) program and action plan. Mr. Nekritz advanced our ESG platform, resulting in top ESG rankings. He alsorolled-out our Community Workforce Initiative in new markets and established a national workforce partnership to scale program and develop an online training curriculum. Acceleratingyear-end and quarter closings, Mr. Olinger drove continuous improvement in our accounting processes.

While noting our progress, the Compensation Committee also considered the timing expectations for the company’s platform initiatives and exercised downward discretion to impact our NEOs’ individual bonus scores accordingly.

Calculation of score:All such factors considered, the Compensation Committee determined that the performance of this metric was below target (90.75% of target).

Balance Sheet Considerations

Under Mr. Olinger’s leadership, we maintained ourA3/A- ratings by Moody’s and S&P(1), respectively, with one of the top balance sheets in our industry. Mr. Olinger successfully completed over $10.5 billion in debt transactions with an average rate of 1.7% and average term of 7.7 years.

Given that our bonus metrics reflect our current strategic goals, we did not allocate a portion of our bonus determination to a balance sheet/liquidity bonus metric as we have already achieved our balance sheet goals. In short, we did not want to reward our executives for a goal already achieved.

Prologis Proxy Statement  |  March 20, 2020

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

However, we do account for the maintenance of our balance sheet health in our final assessment of our corporate and individual scores. The Compensation Committee will exercise its downward discretion to reduce the bonus payments if we fail to maintain our balance sheet appropriately.

LOGO

OVERALL CORPORATE SCORE 120% OF TARGET ABOVE TARGET OVERALL

Committee assessment of Mr. Moghadam’s performance: Under Mr. Moghadam’s leadership, the executive team led the company in another year of significant accomplishment. We negotiated, underwrote and announced two significant merger transactions, the $4.0 billion IPT acquisition and the $13.0 billion LPT acquisition. Our business performed ahead of most of our performance targets. We delivered Core FFO(2)of $3.31 per share (including promotes), the highest since theAMB-Prologis merger, representing an increase of 9.2% over 2018. We exceeded our 2019 Core FFO(2)target due to higher deployment and strategic capital fees, while deleveraging greater than plan.

Our credit metrics and balance sheet are the strongest in our history, and we have significant liquidity and debt capacity to self-fund our growth for the foreseeable future. Our annualized three-year TSR outperformed the Cohen & Steers REIT index by 1347 basis points. Mr. Moghadam and our other NEOs continue to drive innovation and improvement by leveraging our scale and global expertise to add value to our enterprise beyond our real estate.

Determination of our corporate score:Calculating our corporate score based on the weightings of the above-target scores for the bulk of our bonus metrics (portfolio operations, deployment, and strategic capital) and the below-target score for our Procurement, Ancillary Revenues, Five Drivers and G&A/AUM metric, the Compensation Committee determined that our overall corporate score was above target (120% of target).

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Annual LTI equity award benchmarks are a balance of logistics and large cap REITs.

We use two logistics REIT comparison groups (one domestic and one global) to compare our TSR performance against other REITs operating in our asset class. Because the companies in these comparison groups are much smaller than Prologis, we also use the Cohen & Steers REIT Index, a large cap REIT index, to compare our performance againstsimilarly-sized companies.

The weightings between the domestic and global logistics REIT comparison groups generally reflect the relative breakdown between our global and domestic AUM.

Very few logistics REITs and even fewer global logistics REITs exist. The Cohen & Steers REIT Index is a performance benchmark that includes approximately 30 of the largest (well-capitalized) REITs. The Cohen & Steers REIT Index mitigates volatility of our smaller logistics REIT comparison groups and prevents any one company from dominating the index’s performance. This index is a measure important to our investors to evaluate our performance against other large cap REITs.

Annual LTI equity awards for the 2018 performance year (granted in 2019)

Although the Summary Compensation Table presentation requires disclosure of LTI equity awards granted in 2019 to be included in aggregate compensation for 2019, the Compensation Committee considers these awards to be compensation for the 2018 performance year. As such, LTI equity awards granted in 2019 are part of the Compensation Committee’s assessment of compensation for the 2018 performance year, not the 2019 performance year.

2016-2018 company performance resulted in 520 bps outperformance relative to the index of the logistics REIT comparison groups and the Cohen & Steers REIT Index. In accordance with our equity formula, equity awards for the 2018 performance year were paid at 150% of target. See our 2019 proxy statement for further detail.

For the 2018 performance year, Mr. Moghadam received $12,375,000; Mr. Reilly received $3,900,000, Mr. Olinger, Mr. Anderson and Mr. Nekritz received $3,150,000 and Mr. Curless received $2,850,000 in LTI equity awards.

CEO equity grant in lieu of cash salary

Starting in 2019, Mr. Moghadam elected to take $1 in base salary with the remaining amount ($999,999) to be paid as equity compensation contingent on performance with4-year vesting. The Compensation Committee determined that the maximum value of this award ($999,999) would be paid if company performance was at or greater than target (using our corporate score assessed against our annual bonus plan metrics).

As discussed earlier, our corporate score was 120% above target. As such, the Compensation Committee awarded Mr. Moghadam $999,999 in equity with4-year vesting. Because this equity award was granted in 2020, it will be reported in our Summary Compensation Table for the year 2020.

2019 Compensation Decisions: Outperformance Plans

As discussed earlier, our approach is to position target core compensation around the median of our comparison group. To compensate for our much larger size and scope, we offer outperformance plan opportunities that can be earned only if superior performance is achieved.

Our outperformance plans extend beyond our NEOs to about 100 participants in total, distributing the compensation pools more broadly beyond the NEOs than most other outperformance plans we reviewed at the inception of the program. In 2019, the Compensation Committee allocated 15% of outperformance plan compensation pools to Mr. Moghadam and 6% to each of the other NEOs.

HOW IT WORKS

  Prologis Outperformance Plan (POP)

Rewards Significant Relative TSR

POP hurdle is High-Reach and 100% Formulaic: Pool funds if our three-year compound annualized TSR exceeds the MSCI U.S. REIT Index three-year compound annualized TSR by 100 basis points. Monte Carlo simulations showed zero pay out in approximately 65% of scenarios modeled.

  POP awards did not fund for the first two performance cycles (2012-2014 and 2013-2015) as hurdles were not achieved.

  Pool equals 3% of excess value created for stockholders, subject to an absolute maximum cap of $100M starting with the 2018-2020 performance period.

  20% of the award is paid at the end of the three-year performance period, subject to a three-yearlock-up holding period. 80% of the award is subject to additional seven-year cliff vesting.

HOW THE POP PERFORMANCE HURDLE WORKS

HOW POP IS STRUCTURED(1)

LOGO

(1)  This structure applies to POP awards starting with the 2018-2020 performance period. However, our NEOs voluntarily opted to apply this additional vesting construct to the 2016-2018 and 2017-2019 performance periods.

  POP awards cannot be paid at a time when our absolute TSR is negative. If a pool funds because our relative TSR exceeds the POP performance hurdle, but our absolute TSR is not positive, then the awards will not be paid unless and until absolute TSR becomes positive. The award will expire seven years after the end of the performance period if absolute TSR does not become positive within that period.

CEO POP AWARD

For every$100 paid to our CEO in POP awardsLOGO

$140,909in value was created for our stockholders in exceeding

the POP performance hurdle(2)

(1)

CEO POP awards paid in January 2020 include awards earned for the 2017-2019 performance period and the earned portion of the holdback amount earned from the 2016-2018 performance period.

(2)

The POP hurdle is 100 bps above the three-year compound annualized TSR of the MSCI REIT Index. See footnotes to “CEO POP Awards are a Small Fraction of Total Value Created for Stockholders in Exceeding POP Hurdles.”

For performance periods starting prior to 2018, the POP compensation pool for each performance cycle was capped at the greater of $75 million and 0.5% of our equity market capitalization at the start of a performance period. Amounts earned in excess of $75 million are subject to additional performance hurdles for three years after the end of the performance period.

In response to stockholder feedback, we reduced the potential size of the pool by applying an absolute maximum cap of $100 million starting with the 2018-2020 performance period and imposed7-year cliff vesting on the bulk of the earned awards. Application of the absolute cap reduced the maximum size of the estimated 2019-2021 performance pool by 51% (compared to the pool applying the cap provided by the original plan).

Under the new construct, only 20% of POP awards is paid, if earned, at the end of the performance period. 80% of such earned awards is subject to the additional7-year cliff vesting. The 20% that is paid at the end of the3-year performance period is subject to an additional3-year holding requirement.

Although the new construct was effective for performance periods starting in 2018, our NEOs voluntarily elected to apply this construct retroactively to their awards earned for the 2016-2018 and 2017-2019 performance periods. The NEOs did not receive any benefit in exchange for their election. Please see Narrative Discussion to Summary Compensation Table for Fiscal Year 2019 for further detail.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

HOW IT WORKS

Prologis Promote Plan (PPP)

How do Promotes work?

Strenuous Hurdles: Hurdles are negotiated with third-party partners whose vested interest is to set hurdles as high as possible. Promotes are earned by Prologis when investment rates of return (“IRR”) exceed certainpre-negotiated compound annualized return hurdles.

 Common incentive fee/promote structure is10-20% of returns in excess of7-9% annualized returns to venture investors calculated over a three-year performance period.

Compensation Pool: The pool is 40% of the promote (after excluding our ownership share).

Cap: Capped at core compensation (excluding outperformance awards) for the two most recent years

Shareholder Alignment:Paid to CEO 100% in equity and to NEOs 65% in equity

Vesting period: 4 years on the equity portion of grant

Performance Period:Typically 3 years depending on the venture

Incentivizing Team Beyond Executives:~100 participants

HOW THE PPP HURDLE WORKS

LOGO

PPP performance hurdles are the formulaic promote hurdles established by our strategic capital ventures to incentivize superior performance. Promotes are earned by Prologis when returns in certain of our ventures exceedpre-negotiated preferred return hurdles. These promotes are third-party validated measures of operational success.

For a number of our ventures, meeting a promote hurdle requires an internal rate of return in excess of a 7% to 9% annualized return. Promotes are often structured such that the company receives 10% to 20% of returns above the negotiated return hurdles. For certain of our ventures, we negotiated a structure with higher management fees and no promotes, determining that the structure was in the best interests of the company (even if the structure would not have promotes eligible for PPP award opportunities). The performance period for promotes with respect to our operating portfolios is generally three years.

To meet or surpass the promote hurdles, we must make smart capital allocation decisions and manage our assets to produce outstanding returns over an extended period of time.

CEO PPP AWARD

$9,302in value was created for our stockholders when exceeding

the PPP performance hurdles(2)

(1)

PPP awards paid in 2019.

(2)

For definition of total value created for stockholders when achieving PPP hurdles, please see footnotes to “CEO PPP Awards are a Small Fraction of Total Value Created for Stockholders When We Achieved PPP Hurdles.”

Achievement of promote hurdles means we have created superior returns for our venture investors. This also translates into tremendous value created for our stockholders over the applicable performance periods by increasing the value of our ownership share of the ventures as well as driving earnings from promote and management fee payments.

When we achieve the difficult promote hurdle and the company earns the promote, the promote proceeds are used to fund a PPP compensation pool. This pool is 40% of the promote (after excluding our ownership share in the applicable venture) typically paid to about 100 participants in total.

We have heard that our strategic capital investors take great comfort in knowing that management benefits directly from the outperformance of the ventures’ investments.

Individual awards under PPP are capped at the participants’ compensation (excluding awards under the two outperformance compensation plans) for the two most recently completed years.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Other Compensation Elements and Considerations

LTIP Units

LTIP Units are profits interests in Prologis, L.P., our operating partnership. Certain executives, including NEOs, may elect to receive LTIP Units in lieu of RSUs. Our NEOs elected to receive all of their equity awards granted in 2019 in LTIP Units, further aligning NEO and stockholder interests.

LTIP Units were structured to be generally economically equivalent to RSUs and generally have the same vesting terms as RSUs.

NEO waivers of retirement eligibility benefits

For any equity awards granted starting in 2017, Mr. Moghadam voluntarily waived any vesting benefits related to meeting retirement-eligibility thresholds under our incentive plan. Vesting under such awards will continue after he terminates employment as long as he continues in a substantial role with the company or its affiliates. Our other NEOs executed a similar waiver applicable to equity awards granted after September 2018.

To demonstrate their commitment to our company, our NEOs executed these waivers voluntarily without receiving any benefit in exchange.

Had the NEOs not waived such provisions, they would be entitled to certain benefits such as the acceleration of vesting of their equity awards upon termination of employment after they meet the retirement-eligibility thresholds under our compensation plans.

In 2020, the Compensation Committee amended the NEO waivers to allow for continued vesting of certain awards if an NEO performs approved services for the company or community work after termination (to the extent such provisions did not already apply to such awards.) The amendment did not change the NEOs’ waivers of their retirement-eligibility benefits.

Senior-level benefits

In addition to benefits provided to all other U.S. employees, such as our 401(k) plan, health care and welfare coverage, paidtime-off, life and accident insurance and short and long-term disability programs, we offer our NEOs the following senior-level benefits:

Deferred compensation plans

Retiree medical benefits—upon retirement and having served as a member of the management executive committee (our CEO and certain direct reports) for five consecutive years, executives may continue health coverage under our plans at their own expense

Financial planning services

Company-paid parking

Personal use of leased corporate aircraft interest by our CEO if reimbursed by the CEO

Change-in-control benefits

Our NEOs’ benefits include fair and reasonable severance in connection with a change in control to serve the best interests of stockholders during a threatened or actual change in control by:

DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

(1)

In 2019, the Compensation Committee amended and restated our CEO’s change-in-control agreement to reflect our CEO’s salary decrease to $1, such that change-in-control benefits would continue to apply on a double-trigger basis and are intended to approximate the same benefits as in the original agreement.

(2)

Due to our CEO’s salary decrease to $1 in 2019, this requirement was changed to $10 million (equal to 10 times his base salary in 2018).

Risk mitigation

Annual Compensation Committee risk assessments of our compensation program: The Compensation Committee monitors the risk profile with respect to compensation policies and practices. No material risks were found.

Quarterly reports to Board on company performance against business plan and strategic objectives:The Board provides oversight to ensure that our compensation structure is not driving the company to take excessive operational risks.

Internal management controls: Controls and procedures ensure operations are completed in line with governance standards to ensure that excessive risks are not taken, including a series of checks and balances with respect to the commitment of capital.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Real estate risk management: Real estate risk management processes monitor key risks associated with our real estate assets, such as levels of occupancy, non-income-producing assets, leverage, foreign currency exposure and other factors.

Recoupment policy: This policy is a mechanism to claw back compensation in the event of a financial restatement.

Stock ownership guidelines: These guidelines align management interests with stockholders.

Stock ownership guidelines

All NEOs and directors are in compliance.

The guidelines require stock ownership of at least $10 million for our CEO or a multiple of annual base salary for other officers (3x base salary for other NEOs; and 1x base salary for senior vice presidents, managing directors and regional presidents).

The guidelines require share ownership for our directors of 5x the annual Board retainer.

Stock eligible under the guidelines includes common stock, vested, unvested and deferred equity awards (except stock options), associated dividend equivalents, earned LTIP Units and partnership units exchangeable into our common stock. The guidelines require retention of 50% of net shares received under our equity plans upon certain events until ownership thresholds are met.

Hedging and pledging policies

All hedging and pledging of common stock are prohibited: Our insider trading policy prohibits all NEOs, employees and directors from hedging or pledging shares of our common stock. All of our NEOs and directors are currently in compliance with this prohibition.

Compensation recoupment (clawback) policy

The Board has adopted a compensation clawback policy, which provides that in the event of a substantial restatement of our previously issued financial statements, a review will be undertaken by the Board of performance-based compensation awarded to certain officers that was attributable to our financial performance during the time periods restated. If the Board determines that an officer was improperly compensated and that it is in our best interests to recover or cancel such compensation, the Board will pursue all reasonable legal remedies to recover or cancel such performance-based compensation. The policy further provides that if the Board learns of any misconduct by certain officers that caused the restatement, the Board shall take such action as it deems necessary to remedy the misconduct, prevent its recurrence and, if appropriate, based on all relevant facts and circumstances, punish the wrongdoer. Such punishment by the Board could include dismissal, legal action for breach of fiduciary duty or such other action to enforce the officer’s obligations to us as may fit the facts surrounding the particular case. In determining the appropriate punishment, the Board may take into account punishments imposed by third parties. The Board’s power to determine the appropriate punishment for the wrongdoer is in addition to, and not in replacement of, remedies imposed by such third parties.

Equity grant policy and program administration

Awards are administered by our human resources and stock plan administration departments. Grants are made generally in the first quarter of the year, after promotion, at the time of new hire or in accordance with PPP. Equity grant dates are not scheduled based on the timing of the release of material non-public information.

We discontinued the issuance of stock option awards after February 2011.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Impact of accounting and tax treatment

To the extent reasonable and allowable, executive compensation will be deductible by the company for federal income tax purposes. However, the Compensation Committee may design compensation program components that are not deductible. In addition, the Internal Revenue Service recently released proposed regulations under section 162(m), which may limit the future deductibility of certain executive compensation amounts. Because we intend to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, we generally distribute 100% of our net taxable income each year, and as a result do not pay U.S. federal income tax. As such, we do not expect the possible loss of executive compensation deductions to have a material impact on us. We intend that executive compensation comply with 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, which may impose additional taxes on our NEOs for Section 409A. In addition, we expense base salaries and annual bonus awarded in the year they are earned. In accordance with ASC Topic 718, we expense the value of equity awards granted over the vesting period of such grants.

Bonuses earned for a fiscal year are paid in the subsequent fiscal year (e.g., the bonuses in column (d) earned for performance in 2019 were paid in the first quarter of 2020).

(3)

We eliminated the bonus exchange premium for our NEOs starting in 2018. Under the bonus exchange for 2017, the NEO elected to receive all or a portion of his cash bonus in equity awards (RSUs or LTIP Units valued at 125% of the cash bonus exchanged (discussed below in the narrative discussion that follows the Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal Year 2019 table)). The value of equity awards received is equal to 125% of the cash bonus exchanged for 2017. Equity awards granted as part of the 2017 bonus exchange have a vesting period of three years (40% in the first year, 40% in the second year and 20% in the third year). For 2019 and 2018, the value of equity awards received is equal to 100% of the cash bonus exchanged and, as no exchange premium applied, such awards were fully vested upon issuance on March 8, 2019 and February     , 2020, respectively. The amount in column (d) includes the actual bonus awarded to the NEO participating in the bonus exchange regardless of whether cash or stock awards were received. The value of the stock awards in excess of the bonus award (the 25% premium in the case of bonus exchange for 2017) is included in column (e).

(i)

This is the year that the bonus is presented in the Summary Compensation Table. Bonuses for each year were awarded in the first quarter of the following year.

(ii)

Represents the bonus awarded to the NEO before the bonus exchange election.

(iii)

This column reflects the value of the bonus award that the NEO has elected to exchange. All NEOs elected to exchange 100% of their bonuses for 2019, 2018 and 2017. Accordingly, the NEOs exchanged the bonus amounts reflected in column (iii) for equity, and received the remainder of their bonus amounts, if any, in cash.

(iv)

Grants a premium of 25% of the portion of the bonus that is subject to the exchange in 2017. Bonus Exchange premiums were not offered to NEOs in 2019 or 2018.

(v)

Represents the sum of the exchanged portion of the bonus and, for 2017, the 25% premium. This value is granted to the NEO in the form of equity with vesting over a three-year period (40% in the first year, 40% in the second year and 20% in the third year) for 2017. The NEO did not receive any premium for exchanging his 2019 or 2018 bonus into equity, so the equity received in exchange for his 2019 bonus was fully vested upon issuance.

(vi)

Represents the total equity award granted to the NEO under the bonus exchange calculated based on the closing price of our common stock on the date the bonus is awarded. For all years presented, each NEO elected to receive the equity award in the form of LTIP Units.

Information on how we value equity awards is included in the narrative discussion that follows the Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal Year 2019 table below.

(4)

Amounts represent the value of equity awards granted in each year including awards granted under our annual LTI equity award program, awards granted under PPP (discussed below) and the allocation of the POP compensation pool to the NEO for the applicable performance period. Column (e) also includes the value of the premium awarded in 2017 resulting from the election of the bonus exchange (discussed above).

Summary Compensation Table

Annual LTI Equity Incentive Awards:

Under our annual LTI equity award program, we generally grant equity awards in the first quarter for the performance period ended in the previous year. For example, the annual awards in column (e) for 2019 were granted in February 2019 but were based on a performance period that ended in 2018. The amount of each NEO’s annual award is based on performance criteria and the award is also subject to continued employment.

2019 LTIP Units issued on March 8, 2019 (approved by the Compensation Committee on February 11, 2019) were:

Mr. Moghadam—174,197 LTIP Units valued at $12,374,955

Mr. Anderson—44,341 LTIP Units valued at $3,149,985

Mr. Curless—40,118 LTIP Units valued at $2,849,983

The number of LTIP Units was determined using the closing price of our common stock on the award grant date of February 11, 2019 ($71.04). This is the value used for accounting purposes to expense the grant.

2018 LTIP Units issued on March 7, 2018 (approved by the Compensation Committee on February 9, 2018) were:

Mr. Moghadam—205,155 LTIP Units valued at $12,374,950

Mr. Olinger—52,221 LTIP Units valued at $3,149,971

Mr. Reilly—64,655 LTIP Units valued at $3,899,990

Mr. Nekritz—52,221 LTIP Units valued at $3,149,971

Mr. Anderson—52,221 LTIP Units valued at $3,149,971

Mr. Curless—47,248 LTIP Units valued at $2,849,999

The number of LTIP Units was determined using the closing price of our common stock on the award grant date of February 9, 2018 ($60.32). This is the value used for accounting purposes to expense the grant.

2017 LTIP Units issued on March 7, 2017 (approved by the Compensation Committee on February 10, 2017) were:

Mr. Moghadam—164,637 LTIP Units valued at $8,249,960

Mr. Olinger—41,907 LTIP Units valued at $2,099,960

Mr. Reilly—51,885 LTIP Units valued at $2,599,957

Mr. Nekritz—41,907 LTIP Units valued at $2,099,960

Mr. Anderson—41,907 LTIP Units valued at $2,099,960

Mr. Curless—37,916 LTIP Units valued at $1,899,971

The number of LTIP Units was determined using the closing price of our common stock on the award grant date of February 10, 2017 ($50.11). This is the value used for accounting purposes to expense the grant.

Information on how we value equity awards is included in the narrative discussion that follows the Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal Year 2019 table below. Also see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.”

POP:

The values in column (e) include the NEO’s allocation of the estimated compensation pool value awarded under POP. This value is included in the NEO’s compensation even though there is no assurance that the value of the allocation will ever be realized by the NEO.

2019 (2019-2021 Performance Period): Values of the allocation as of the date of the allocation (January 2, 2019) were: Mr. Moghadam ($3,180,000) and all other NEOs (each $1,272,000).

2018 (2018-2020 Performance Period): Values of the allocation as of the date of the allocation (January 2, 2018) were: Mr. Moghadam ($3,405,000) and all other NEOs (each $1,362,000).

2017 (2017-2019 Performance Period): Values of the allocation as of the date of the allocation (January 3, 2017) were: Mr. Moghadam ($3,060,000) and all other NEOs (each $1,224,000).

POP and the exchange of the compensation pool allocation for POP LTIP Units are discussed below in the narrative that follows the “Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal Year 2019” table.

(5)

Awards in the form of cash and/or equity awards were granted to participating employees, including all of the NEOs, in December 2019, March 2019, November 2019, December 2018, June 2018, January 2018, September 2017 and May 2017 under PPP. The value of the equity portion of the award is included in column (e) based on the fair value on the grant date of the equity awards. The cash portion of the award is included in column (g). Because it is not possible to determine whether any incentive fees or promotes will be received in future years, only awards resulting from compensation pools that have funded are included in the compensation of the NEOs. All PPP awards paid in 2019 and 2018 vest over four years, except the January 2018 award that vests over three years. All PPP awards paid in 2017 vest over three years.

PPP awards paid in 2019: All of Mr. Moghadam’s 2019 PPP awards were paid in the form of equity (in aggregate, 152,764 LTIP Units or $12,944,967). 35% of the 2019 PPP awards for each of the other NEOs were in the form of cash (in aggregate $1,812,766). Mr. Olinger, Mr. Reilly, Mr. Nekritz, Mr. Anderson and Mr. Curless received 65% of their 2019 PPP awards in the form of equity (in aggregate, 39,718 LTIP Units or $3,365,631). The LTIP Units were valued at $69.88, $90.29 and $90.56 per share, the closing price of our common stock on the grant date (March 1, 2019, November 22, 2019 and December 5, 2019, respectively).

PPP awards paid in 2018: All of Mr. Moghadam’s 2018 PPP awards were paid in the form of equity (in aggregate, 151,291 LTIP Units or $9,533,904). 35% of the 2018 PPP awards for each of the other NEOs were in the form of cash (in aggregate $1,334,760). Mr. Reilly,

The LTIP Units and RSUs were valued at $62.65, $63.51 and $68.48 per share, the closing price of our common stock on the grant date (January 9, 2018, June 19, 2018 and December 6, 2018, respectively).

(a)

We provide financial planning services, and parking, if applicable, to certain of our employees, including the NEOs, based on their position with the company.

(b)

For 2019 includes: (i) matching charitable contributions by the company’s charitable foundation and (ii) anniversary gift for Mr. Reilly and Mr. Anderson.

For 2018 includes: matching charitable contributions by the company’s charitable foundation.    

For 2017 includes: (i) matching charitable contributions by the company’s charitable foundation and (ii) service award for Mr. Olinger.

Our charitable foundation will match the amount of charitable contributions to qualifying organizations made by our directors and all of our employees. The annual maximum amount of matching contributions in one year applicable to our NEOs is $12,500, not including amounts matched under special matching initiatives related to specific events, such as natural disasters. Matching contributions available in a particular year that are not used may be carried over to the subsequent year. Amounts reported represent charitable contributions of our charitable foundation that were paid directly to outside organizations during the calendar year to match qualifying contributions made by the NEOs during that year and can also include amounts carried over from previous years.

(c)

No perquisite amounts are reported in any year for any of the NEOs as the aggregate amount of the incremental costs of any perquisites for an individual NEO does not exceed $10,000 in any year. In 2019, 2018 and 2017, a leased corporate aircraft was used fornon-business purposes by Mr. Moghadam. The incremental costs to the company for Mr. Moghadam were de minimis and reimbursed by him. In 2017 and 2018, a leased corporate aircraft was used for anon-business purpose by Mr. Moghadam. The incremental cost to the company for Mr. Moghadam was de minimis and was reimbursed by him. These amounts are not included in Mr. Moghadam’s 2017, 2018 and 2019 because the total of perquisites did not exceed $10,000.

Columns (c) through (e), (f), (j) and (k) have been omitted from this table because they are not applicable. Does not include bonus exchanged for equity (valued at 100% of the bonus) paid in 2020 for the 2019 performance year. See footnote 3 to the Summary Compensation Table for Fiscal year 2019.

(1)

Represents the allocation of the estimated POP compensation pool in January 2019 for the 2019-2021 performance period. Since POP rewards only extraordinary performance, there is no Threshold value. Notwithstanding the values of allocations shown in this table, there can be no assurance that the company’s performance at the end of an applicable performance period will result in any payment under POP. The amount in column (h) represents the NEO’s allocation of the maximum pool value for the 2019-2021 Performance Period of $100.0 million. The value in column (l) is the grant-date fair value of the NEO’s allocation based on a valuation of the future compensation pool using a Monte Carlo simulation as of the grant date to estimate a fair value for accounting purposes, estimated at $21.2 million. We used the grant date fair value of the award as an estimate of target value because payments under the award ultimately will be based on performance to the MSCI REIT Index over the performance period. Please see discussion regarding POP below. Awards under POP may be paid in either cash or equity (with an additional7-year cliff vesting requirement on 80% of the applicable award and no additional vesting on 20% of the applicable award). The Compensation Committee has determined that the awards for the 2019-2021 Performance Period will be paid in equity, if at all. POP LTIP Units for the 2019-2021 performance period were issued on December 17, 2019.

(2)

Represents the annual long-term equity incentive awards for the performance year ended in 2018 that were granted in 2019. These awards were approved by the Compensation Committee on February 11, 2019 at which time the NEO elected to receive the award in the form of LTIP Units. The LTIP Units were issued in March 8, 2019 and vest ratably over a four-year period. The value in column (l) represents the award in column (i) valued at $71.04 per share, which was the closing price of our common stock on the February 11, 2019 award grant date. This value is used for accounting purposes to expense the grant. Annual long-term equity incentive awards for the performance year ended in 2019 were granted by the Compensation Committee in February 2020 and are not included in this table. See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.”

(3)

The NEO was awarded a compensation opportunity through participation in PPP. PPP compensation pools were determined in March 2019 and December 2019 after incentive fees, or promotes, were earned and paid to us by five of ourco-investment ventures. As a result, the NEOs each earned PPP awards related to these promotes. Mr. Moghadam’s entire award was paid in the form of equity, and the remaining NEOs’ awards were paid in the form of cash (35%) and equity (65%). Mr. Olinger, Mr. Reilly, Mr. Nekritz, Mr. Anderson and Mr. Curless elected to receive the equity portion of their award in the form of LTIP Units. The LTIP Units were issued in March 2019 and December 2019 and vest ratably over a four-year period. The values of the LTIP Units granted are included in column (l) of this table based on the fair value of $69.88 per share for the March 2019 grant and $90.56 or $90.29 per share for the December 2019 grant which were the closing prices of our common stock on the applicable grant dates (the dates the Compensation Committee granted the awards). This value is used for accounting purposes to expense the grant. See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.”

Discussion of Summary Compensation Table and the Grants of Plan-Based Awards

Narrative Discussion to the Summary Compensation Table for Fiscal Year 2019 and the Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal Year 2019 Table

Equity compensation plans

At our annual meeting on May 3, 2012, our stockholders approved and adopted the Prologis, Inc. 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2012 LTIP”). The 2012 LTIP enables our executive officers, employees, directors and consultants to participate in the ownership of the company and allows us to attract and retain our executive officers, other employees and directors, as well as provide incentives to such persons to maximize our company performance.

In addition, we have other equity compensation plans under which equity awards were outstanding as of December 31, 2019:

the Amended and Restated 2002 Stock Option and Incentive Plan and the Third Amended and Restated 1997 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, collectively, the “AMB Plans,” which were both approved by our stockholders; and

the ProLogis 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan, the ProLogis 2000 Share Option Plan for Outside Trustees and the ProLogis 1997 Long-Term Incentive Plan, collectively, the “Trust Plans,” which were assumed by us under the Merger agreement with all outstanding awards converted based on the Merger exchange ratio. The Trust Plans were approved by shareholders of the Trust.

All future equity awards will be granted from the 2012 LTIP (or its successor plan) and we will no longer grant any awards from the AMB Plans or the Trust Plans. The available shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the AMB Plans and the Trust Plans as of May 3, 2012 were added to the share reserve of the 2012 LTIP. All outstanding awards under the AMB Plans and the Trust Plans will remain outstanding until they vest, expire or are forfeited by the participant. As of December 31, 2019, we had 4.6 million shares of common stock remaining available for future issuance under our plans and 10.4 million shares of common stock subject to outstanding unvested awards.

The 2012 LTIP does not expire but no further awards can be granted under the plan after the tenth anniversary date of the plan’s approval. The 2012 LTIP does not permitre-pricing of stock options without stockholder approval. Participants, includingnon-employee directors, in the 2012 LTIP may receive stock options, stock appreciation rights and full value awards, including dividend equivalents. Only employees may receive incentive stock options under the 2012 LTIP; however, we have not granted incentive stock options in the past and currently do not intend to grant stock options of any kind.

For further detail, please see “Equity Compensation Plans” below.

Equity award terms

We currently intend to grant LTIP Units and RSUs for annual LTI equity and PPP awards. Restricted stock awards were last granted in 2012, and stock options were last granted in 2011. In addition, we provided certain executives with opportunities to earn awards under POP. Beginning in 2014, we offered to certain executives the option to elect to receive LTIP Units in lieu of RSUs that may be granted to them under our compensation program. The general terms of our equity awards outstanding at December 31, 2019 are as follows:

RSUs

Each RSU is convertible into one share of common stock upon vesting. The RSUs granted prior to the 2018 annual grant cycle generally vest ratably over a continued service period of three years, such that the awards vest 34% after the first

Discussion of Summary Compensation Table and the Grants of Plan-Based Awards

year, 33% after the second year and 33% after the third year. RSUs granted since the 2018 annual grant cycle vest ratably over a period of four years, such that 25% of the award vests each year of the four-year period. Going forward, we intend to grant RSUs for annual LTI equity awards and PPP awards with four-year vesting periods. RSUs granted in accordance with the 2018 POP amendment will have a seven-year cliff vesting period (i.e., the entire award vests on a specified future date) after the end of the initial three-year performance period. RSUs have no voting rights. Certain awards, such as special grants due to hiring or retention considerations, may have different vesting terms, including cliff vesting terms. Equity granted to NEOs as a part of the bonus exchange for 2016 and 2017 generally have a three-year vesting period, such that the bonus exchange awards vest 40% after the first year, 40% after the second year and 20% after the third year. As we eliminated the premium for bonus exchange starting in 2018, equity received by the NEOs in 2020 and 2019 in exchange for their 2019 and 2018 bonus did not include a premium and were fully vested upon issuance. Generally, RSUs earn dividend equivalents (either cash or equity) over the vesting period under the same payment terms as dividends paid on our common stock. RSUs are valued based on the closing price of our common stock on the grant date.

LTIP Units

·

LTIP Units are profits interests in Prologis, L.P., our operating partnership. Certain executives, including NEOs, may elect to receive LTIP Units in lieu of RSUs. Our NEOs elected to receive all of their equity awards granted in 2021 in LTIP Units, further aligning NEO and stockholder interests.

·

LTIP Units were structured to be generally economically equivalent to RSUs and generally have the same vesting terms as RSUs.

·

All LTIP Units have a two-year mandatory holding period from the date of issuance, in addition to any applicable vesting periods.

NEO waivers of retirement eligibility benefits

·

For any equity awards granted starting in 2017, Mr. Moghadam voluntarily waived any vesting benefits related to meeting retirement-eligibility thresholds under our incentive plan. Vesting under such awards will continue after he terminates employment as long as he continues in a substantial role with the company or its affiliates. Our other NEOs executed a similar waiver applicable to equity awards granted after September 2018.

·

To demonstrate their commitment to our company, our NEOs executed these waivers voluntarily without receiving any benefit in exchange.

·

Had the NEOs not waived such provisions, they would be entitled to certain benefits such as the acceleration of vesting of their equity awards upon termination of employment after they meet the retirement-eligibility thresholds under our compensation plans.

·

In 2020, the Compensation Committee amended the NEO waivers (to the extent such provisions did not already apply to such awards) to allow for continued vesting of certain awards if an NEO performs approved services for the company or community work after termination. The amendment did not change the NEOs’ waivers of their retirement-eligibility benefits.

Senior-level benefits

·

In addition to benefits provided to all other U.S. employees, such as our 401(k) plan, health care and welfare coverage, paid time-off, life and accident insurance and short and long-term disability programs, we offer our NEOs the following senior-level benefits:

Deferred compensation plans

Retiree medical benefits—upon retirement and having served as a member of the management executive committee (our CEO and certain direct reports) for five consecutive years, executives may continue health coverage under our plans at their own expense

Personal use of leased corporate aircraft interest by our CEO if the Company is reimbursed

Previously, the company paid for financial planning services and parking for all NEOs. We eliminated both of these benefits beginning in 2021, further reducing already minimal NEO perquisites.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Change-in-control benefits

·

Our NEOs’ benefits include competitive severance in connection with a change in control to serve the best interests of stockholders during a threatened or actual change in control by:

Providing for continuity of our management team’s services

Increasing objectivity of our management team in analyzing a proposed change in control and advising the Board if such proposal is in the best interests of stockholders

·

Such benefits apply on a double-trigger basis (change in control has occurred and NEO’s employment status is impacted) and consist of:

Cash severance payments that are a multiple of salary and/or cash bonus opportunity levels (generally, two times salary and bonus for NEOs)(1)

Accelerated vesting of unvested equity awards, available through change-in-control agreements or long-term equity incentive plans

Risk mitigation

·

Annual Compensation Committee risk assessments of our compensation program: The Compensation Committee monitors the risk profile with respect to compensation policies and practices. No material risks were found.

·

Quarterly reports to Board on company performance against business plan and strategic objectives: The Board provides oversight to ensure that our compensation structure is not driving the company to take excessive operational risks.

·

Internal management controls: Controls and procedures ensure operations are completed in line with governance standards to ensure that excessive risks are not taken, including a series of checks and balances with respect to the commitment of capital.

·

Real estate risk management: Real estate risk management processes monitor key risks associated with our real estate assets, such as levels of occupancy, non-income-producing assets, leverage, foreign currency exposure and other factors.

·

Recoupment policy: This policy is a mechanism to claw back compensation in the event of a financial restatement.

·

Stock ownership guidelines: These guidelines align management interests with stockholders.

Stock ownership guidelines

·

All NEOs and directors are in compliance.

·

The guidelines require stock ownership of at least $10 million for our CEO or a multiple of annual base salary for other officers (3x base salary for other NEOs; and 1x base salary for senior vice presidents, managing directors and regional presidents). The guidelines require share ownership for our directors of 5x the annual Board retainer.

·

Stock eligible under the guidelines includes common stock, vested, unvested (provided that any unvested equity awards counted must be full value awards subject only to time-based vesting and must in no way be contingent upon the achievement of any performance requirement) and deferred equity awards (except stock options), associated dividend equivalents, earned LTIP Units and partnership units exchangeable into our common stock. The guidelines require retention of 50% of net shares received under our equity plans upon certain events until ownership thresholds are met.

(1)

In 2019, the Compensation Committee amended and restated our CEO’s change-in-control agreement to reflect our CEO’s salary decrease to $1, such that change-in-control benefits would continue to apply on a double-trigger basis and are intended to approximate the same benefits as in the original agreement.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Hedging and pledging policies

All hedging and pledging of common stock are prohibited: Our insider trading policy prohibits all NEOs, employees and directors from hedging or pledging shares of our common stock. All our NEOs and directors are currently in compliance with this prohibition.

Compensation recoupment (clawback) policy

The Board has adopted a compensation clawback policy, which provides that in the event of a substantial restatement of our previously issued financial statements, a review will be undertaken by the Board of performance-based compensation awarded to certain officers that was attributable to our financial performance during the time periods restated. If the Board determines that an officer was improperly compensated and that it is in our best interests to recover or cancel such compensation, the Board will pursue all reasonable legal remedies to recover or cancel such performance-based compensation. The policy further provides that if the Board learns of any misconduct by certain officers that caused the restatement, the Board shall take such action as it deems necessary to remedy the misconduct, prevent its recurrence and, if appropriate, based on all relevant facts and circumstances, punish the wrongdoer. Such punishment by the Board could include dismissal, legal action for breach of fiduciary duty or such other action to enforce the officer’s obligations to us as may fit the facts surrounding the particular case. In determining the appropriate punishment, the Board may take into account punishments imposed by third parties. The Board’s power to determine the appropriate punishment for the wrongdoer is in addition to, and not in replacement of, remedies imposed by such third parties.

In addition, if the Compensation Committee determines that a present or former employee has used for profit or disclosed to unauthorized persons confidential or trade secrets of us or any of our affiliates, breached any contract with or violated any fiduciary obligation to us or any of our affiliates, or engaged in any conduct which the committee determines is injurious to us or any of our affiliates, the committee may cause that employee to forfeit his or her outstanding awards under the 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan (“2020 LTIP”). In addition, in exercise of its powers and authorities under the 2020 LTIP, it is the committee’s policy to determine that a participant is in good standing in the course of administering the 2020 LTIP. If a participant is not in good standing, the committee (or its delegate) may cause the participant’s awards, whether vested or unvested, to be forfeited.

Equity grant policy and program administration

Awards are administered by our human resources and stock plan administration departments. Grants are made generally in the first quarter of the year, after promotion, at the time of new hire or in accordance with PPP. Equity grant dates are not scheduled based on the timing of the release of material non-public information.

We discontinued the issuance of stock option awards after February 2011.

Impact of accounting and tax treatment

To the extent reasonable and allowable, executive compensation will be deductible by the company for federal income tax purposes. However, the Compensation Committee may design compensation program components that are not deductible. In addition, in December 2020, the Internal Revenue Service released final regulations under 162(m), which may limit the future deductibility of certain executive compensation amounts. Because we intend to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, we generally distribute 100% of our net taxable income each year, and as a result do not pay U.S. federal income tax. As such, we do not expect the possible loss of executive compensation deductions to have a material impact on us. We intend that executive compensation comply with 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, which may impose additional taxes on our NEOs for Section 409A. In addition, we expense base salaries and annual bonus awarded in the year they are earned. In accordance with ASC Topic 718, we expense the value of equity awards granted over the vesting period of such grants.

(i)

This is the year that the bonus is presented in the Summary Compensation Table. Bonuses for each year were awarded in the first quarter of the following year.

(ii)

Represents the bonus awarded to the NEO before the bonus exchange election.

(iii)

This column reflects the value of the bonus award that the NEO has elected to exchange. All NEOs elected to exchange 100% of their bonuses for 2021, 2020 and 2019. Accordingly, the NEOs exchanged the bonus amounts reflected in column (iii) for equity, and received the remainder of their bonus amounts, if any, in cash.

(iv)

Represents the total equity award granted to the NEO under the bonus exchange calculated based on the closing price of our common stock on the date the bonus is awarded. For all years presented, each NEO elected to receive the equity award in the form of LTIP Units.

(v)

Information on how we value equity awards is included in the narrative discussion that follows the Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal Year 2021 table below.

(4)

Includes equity compensation contingent on performance paid in lieu of salary. The Compensation Committee determined that the maximum value ($999,999) of Mr. Moghadam’s equity compensation contingent on 2020 performance in lieu of 2020 salary would be paid as company performance was greater than target using our corporate score assessed against our annual bonus plan metrics. 2021 LTIP Units issued on March 3, 2021 (approved by the Compensation Committee on February 2, 2021), were 9,356 LTIP Units valued at $999,969.

(5)

Amounts represent the value of equity awards granted in each year including awards granted under our annual LTI equity award program, awards granted under PPP, the allocation of the POP compensation pool to the NEO for the applicable performance period and awards granted to Mr. Moghadam contingent on performance in lieu of salary.

Annual LTI Equity Incentive Awards:

Under our annual LTI equity award program, we generally grant equity awards in the first quarter for the performance period ended in the previous year. For example, the annual awards in column (e) for 2021 were granted in February 2021 but were based on a performance period that ended in 2020. The amount of each NEO’s annual award is based on performance criteria and the award is also subject to continued employment.

·

2021 LTIP Units issued on March 3, 2021 (approved by the Compensation Committee on February 2, 2021), were:

Mr. Moghadam—115,784 LTIP Units valued at $12,374,994

Information on how we value equity awards is included in the narrative discussion that follows the Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal Year 2021 table below. Also see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.”

POP:

The values in column (e) include the NEO’s allocation of the estimated compensation pool value awarded under POP. This value is included in the NEO’s compensation even though there is no assurance that the value of the allocation will ever be realized by the NEO.

·

2021 (2021-2023 Performance Period): Values of the allocation as of the date of the allocation (January 4, 2021) were: Mr. Moghadam ($4,545,000), Mr. Olinger ($1,212,000), Mr. Reilly ($1,818,000), Mr. Anderson ($1,818,000) and Mr. Nekritz ($1,818,000).

·

2020 (2020-2022 Performance Period): Values of the allocation as of the date of the allocation (January 2, 2020) were: Mr. Moghadam ($4,320,000), Mr. Olinger ($1,152,000), Mr. Reilly ($1,728,000), Mr. Anderson ($1,728,000) and Mr. Nekritz ($1,728,000).

·

2019 (2019-2021 Performance Period): Values of the allocation as of the date of the allocation (January 2, 2019) were: Mr. Moghadam ($3,180,000) and all other NEOs (each $1,272,000).

POP and the exchange of the compensation pool allocation for POP LTIP Units are discussed below in the narrative that follows the “Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal Year 2021” table.

(6)

Awards in the form of cash and/or equity awards were granted to participating employees, including all of the NEOs, in March 2021, December 2021, March 2020, September 2020, March 2019, November 2019 and December 2019 under PPP. The value of the equity portion of the award is included in column (e) based on the fair value on the grant date of the equity awards. The cash portion of the award is included in column (g). Because it is not possible to determine whether any incentive fees or promotes will be received in future years, only awards resulting from compensation pools that have funded are included in the compensation of the NEOs. All PPP awards paid in 2021, 2020 and 2019 vest over four years.

·

PPP awards paid in 2021: All of Mr. Moghadam’s 2021 PPP awards were paid in the form of equity (in aggregate, 29,622 LTIP Units or $4,344,026).

(a)

In 2019 and 2020, we provided financial planning services and parking, if applicable, to certain employees, including the NEOs, based on their position with the company. In 2021, we eliminated financial planning and parking benefits for our NEOs.

(b)

For 2021 includes: matching charitable contributions by the company’s charitable foundation.

For 2020 includes: matching charitable contributions by the company’s charitable foundation.

For 2019 includes: (i) matching charitable contributions by the company’s charitable foundation and (ii) anniversary gift for Mr. Reilly and Mr. Anderson.

Our charitable foundation will match the amount of charitable contributions to qualifying organizations made by our directors and all of our employees. The annual maximum amount of matching contributions in one year applicable to our NEOs is $12,500, not including amounts matched under special matching initiatives related to specific events, such as natural disasters. Matching contributions available in a particular year that are not used may be carried over to the subsequent year. Amounts reported represent charitable contributions of our charitable foundation that were paid directly to outside organizations during the calendar year to match qualifying contributions made by the NEOs during that year and can also include amounts carried over from previous years.

(c)

No perquisite amounts are reported in any year for any of the NEOs as the aggregate amount of the incremental costs of any perquisites for an individual NEO does not exceed $10,000 in any year. In 2021, 2020 and 2019, a leased corporate aircraft was used for non-business purposes by Mr. Moghadam. The incremental costs to the company for Mr. Moghadam were de minimis and reimbursed by him. These amounts are not included for Mr. Moghadam in 2019, 2020 and 2021 because the total of perquisites did not exceed $10,000. In 2020, a leased corporate aircraft was used for non-business purposes by Mr. Olinger. The incremental costs to the company for Mr. Olinger were de minimis and reimbursed by him. These amounts are not included for Mr. Olinger in 2020 because the total of perquisites did not exceed $10,000. In 2021, a leased corporate aircraft was used for non-business purposes by Mr. Reilly and Mr. Anderson. The incremental costs to the company for Mr. Reilly and Mr. Anderson were de minimis and reimbursed by them. These amounts are not included for Mr. Reilly and Mr. Anderson in 2021 because the total perquisites did not exceed $10,000.

Columns (c) through (f), (j) and (k) have been omitted from this table because they are not applicable. Does not include bonus exchanged for equity (valued at 100% of the bonus) paid in 2022 for the 2021 performance year or paid in 2021 for the 2020 performance year. See footnote 3 to the Summary Compensation Tables for fiscal years 2021 and 2022.

(1)

Represents the allocation of the estimated POP compensation pool in January 2021 for the 2021-2023 performance period. Since POP rewards only extraordinary performance, there is no Threshold value. Notwithstanding the values of allocations shown in this table, there can be no assurance that the company’s performance at the end of an applicable performance period will result in any payment under POP. The amount in column (h) represents the NEO’s allocation of the maximum pool value for the 2021-2023 Performance Period of $100.0 million. The value in column (l) is the grant-date fair value of the NEO’s allocation based on a valuation of the future compensation pool using a Monte Carlo simulation as of the grant date to estimate a fair value for accounting purposes, estimated at $30.3 million. We used the grant date fair value of the award as an estimate of target value because payments under the award ultimately will be based on performance relative to the MSCI REIT Index over the performance period. Please see discussion regarding POP below. Awards under POP may be paid in either cash or equity (with an additional seven-year cliff vesting requirement on 80% of the applicable award and no additional vesting on 20% of the applicable award). The Compensation Committee has determined that the awards for the 2021-2023 Performance Period will be paid in equity, if at all. POP LTIP Units for the 2021-2023 performance period were issued on December 13, 2021.

(2)

Represents the annual long-term equity incentive awards for the performance year ended in 2020 that were granted in 2021. These awards were approved by the Compensation Committee on February 2, 2021, at which time the NEO elected to receive the award in the form of LTIP Units. The LTIP Units were issued on March 3, 2021, and vest ratably over a four-year period. The value in column (l) represents the award in column (i) valued at $106.88 per share, which was the closing price of our common stock on February 2, 2021. This value is used for accounting purposes to expense the grant. Annual long-term equity incentive awards for the performance year ended in 2021 were granted by the Compensation Committee in February 2022 and are not included in this table. See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.”

Represents equity compensation contingent on 2020 performance in lieu of 2020 salary and granted in 2021. The Compensation Committee determined that the maximum value of this award ($999,999) would be paid as company performance was greater than target using our corporate score assessed against our annual bonus plan metrics. The LTIP Units were issued on March 3, 2021, and vest ratably over a four-year period. The value in column (l) represents the award in column (i) valued at $106.88 per share, which was the closing price of our common stock on February 2, 2021, the date the Compensation Committee approved the award. This value is used for accounting purposes to expense the grant.

The NEO was awarded a compensation opportunity through participation in PPP. PPP compensation pools were determined in March 2021 and December 2021 after incentive fees, or promotes, were earned and paid to us by six of our co-investment ventures. As a result, the NEOs each earned PPP awards related to these promotes. Mr. Moghadam’s entire award was paid in the form of equity, and the remaining NEOs’ awards were paid in the form of cash (35%) and equity (65%). Mr. Olinger, Mr. Reilly, Mr. Anderson and Mr. Nekritz elected to receive the equity portion of their award in the form of LTIP Units. The LTIP Units were issued in March 2021 and December 2021 and vest ratably over a four-year period. The values of the LTIP Units granted are included in column (l) of this table based on the fair value of $102.11 per share for the March 2021 grant, $162.56 and $161.39 per share for the December 2021 grants which were the closing prices of our common stock on March 18, 2021, December 15, 2021 and December 20, 2021, respectively (the dates the Compensation Committee granted the awards). This value is used for accounting purposes to expense the grant. See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.”

DISCUSSION OF SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE AND THE GRANTS OF PLAN-BASED AWARDS

Narrative Discussion to the Summary Compensation Table for Fiscal Year 2021 and the Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal Year 2021 Table

Equity compensation plans

At our annual meeting on April 29, 2020, our stockholders approved and adopted the Prologis, Inc. 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2020 LTIP”). The 2020 LTIP enables our executive officers, employees, directors and consultants to participate in the ownership of the company and allows us to attract and retain our executive officers, other employees and directors, as well as provide incentives to such persons to maximize our company performance.

In addition, we have other equity compensation plans under which equity awards were outstanding as of December 31, 2021:

·

the Amended and Restated 2002 Stock Option and Incentive Plan and the Third Amended and Restated 1997 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, collectively, the “AMB Plans,” which were both approved by our stockholders;

·

the Prologis 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2012 LTIP”), which was approved by our stockholders; and

·

the ProLogis 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan, the ProLogis 2000 Share Option Plan for Outside Trustees and the ProLogis 1997 Long-Term Incentive Plan, collectively, the “Trust Plans,” which were assumed by us under the Merger agreement with all outstanding awards converted based on the Merger exchange ratio. The Trust Plans were approved by shareholders of the Trust.

All future equity awards will be granted from the 2020 LTIP (or its successor plan) and we will no longer grant any awards from the 2012 LTIP, the AMB Plans or the Trust Plans. The available shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2012 LTIP, AMB Plans and the Trust Plans as of April 29, 2020, were added to the share reserve of the 2020 LTIP. All outstanding awards under the 2012 LTIP, AMB Plans and the Trust Plans will remain outstanding until they vest, expire or are forfeited by the participant. At December 31, 2021, we had 33.8 million shares reserved or available for issuance under our plans, including 4.6 million shares of common stock to be issued upon vesting of awards previously granted and 23.2 million shares of common stock remaining available for future issuance under our plans.

The 2020 LTIP does not expire but no further awards can be granted under the plan after the tenth anniversary date of the plan’s approval. The 2020 LTIP does not permit re-pricing of stock options without stockholder approval. Participants, including non-employee directors, in the 2020 LTIP may receive stock options, stock appreciation rights and full value awards, including dividend equivalents. Only employees may receive incentive stock options under the 2020 LTIP; however, we have not granted incentive stock options in the past and currently do not intend to grant stock options of any kind.

For further detail, please see “Equity Compensation Plans” below.

Equity award terms

We currently intend to grant LTIP Units and RSUs for annual LTI equity and PPP awards. Restricted stock awards were last granted in 2012, and stock options were last granted in 2011. In addition, we provided certain executives with opportunities to earn awards under POP. Beginning in 2014, we offered to certain executives the option to elect to receive LTIP Units in lieu of RSUs that may be granted to them under our compensation program. The general terms of our equity awards outstanding at December 31, 2021, are as follows:

RSUs

Each RSU is convertible into one share of common stock upon vesting. RSUs granted since the 2018 annual grant cycle vest ratably over a period of four years, such that 25% of the award vests each year of the four-year period. Going forward, we intend to grant RSUs for annual LTI equity awards and PPP awards with four-year vesting periods. RSUs granted in accordance with the 2018 POP amendment will have a seven-year cliff vesting period (i.e., the entire award vests on a specified future date) after the end of the initial three-year performance period. RSUs have no voting rights. Certain awards, such as special grants due to hiring or retention considerations, may have different vesting terms, including cliff

PROLOGIS PROXY STATEMENT  |  MARCH 25, 2022

86


DISCUSSION OF SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE AND THE GRANTS OF PLAN-BASED AWARDS

vesting terms. Equity received by the NEOs in exchange for their bonus are fully vested upon issuance. Generally, RSUs earn dividend equivalents (either cash or equity) over the vesting period under the same payment terms as dividends paid on our common stock. RSUs are valued based on the closing price of our common stock on the grant date.

LTIP Units

Certain participants in the 20122020 LTIP can elect to receive LTIP Units instead of RSUs. LTIP Units have similar terms to RSUs with respect to vesting provisions, voting rights and dividends. LTIP Units are different from POP LTIP Units granted under POP (as discussed below). LTIP Units are structured with the intent that the units will generally be economically equivalent to the RSUs that would be issued for the applicable awards and generally have the same vesting terms as the RSUs that are granted. Under certain conditions, an LTIP Unit is convertible into a common unit and then redeemable for one share of our common stock, or at our option, cash. Among other conditions, LTIP Units cannot be converted until they are vested and a waiting period of two years from the date of issuance is complete. Like RSUs, LTIP Units earn cash distributions equal to the dividend paid on our common stock. After vesting and other conditions are met, LTIP Units remain outstanding until such time as the holder of the LTIP Units elects to convert.

For any equity awards granted starting in 2017, including issuances of LTIP Units, Mr. Moghadam has waived any vesting benefits related to meeting retirement-eligibility thresholds under our incentive plan. Our other NEOs executed a similar waiver applicable to equity awards granted after September 2018. In accordance with a 2020 amendment to such waivers, vesting under such awards will continue after the NEOs terminate employment as long as the NEO performs approved community work or services for the company. The 20192020 amendment did not impact the NEOs’ waiver of their retirement-eligibility benefits.

POP

Please see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” for a discussion of the general structure of POP and how it fits into our overall compensation program.

Under POP, NEOs are allocated a percentage of a potential compensation pool for each performance period (the “POP Allocations”). We made POP Allocations to the NEOs in 20192021 for the 2019-20212021-2023 performance period, in 20182020 for the 2018-20202020-2022 performance period and in 20172019 for the 2017-20192019-2021 performance period.

The POP Allocations are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation as of the grant date. POP Allocations were structured with the intent that the allocations have no economic value to the participants unless and until performance criteria are met and an award is paid for the applicable performance period.

For the 2021-2023 and 2020-2022 performance periods, the Compensation Committee made POP Allocations to the NEOs such that 15% of the compensation pool will be paid to Mr. Moghadam, 6% of the compensation pool will be paid to each of Mr. Reilly, Mr. Anderson and Mr. Nekritz and 4% of the compensation pool will be paid to Mr. Olinger if such awards are earned. For the 2019–2021 and 2018–2020 performance period,periods, the Compensation Committee made POP Allocations to the NEOs such that 15% of the compensation pool will be paid to Mr. Moghadam and 6% of the compensation pool will be paid to each of the other NEOs if such awards are earned. In allocating the percentage of the compensation pools to the NEOs, the Compensation Committee took into consideration external market data concerning the typical ratio of CEO compensation to that of other NEOs and employees. The Compensation Committee generally allocated a smaller portion of the total compensation pool to the NEOs relative to the other participants than is typical in the outperformance plans of other companies the committee reviewed at the inception of the plan. The compensation pool for each performance period covered approximately 100 participants at the beginning of each performance period.

Prologis Proxy Statement  |  March 20, 2020

Discussion of Summary Compensation Table and the Grants of Plan-Based Awards

Earned POP awards can be paid in either cash or equity. The Compensation Committee has determined that the awards will be paid, if at all, in equity. Earned POP awards cannot be paid unless and until absolute TSR becomes positive. Any earned POP award will expire seven years after the end of the performance period if absolute TSR does not become positive within that period.

POP LTIP Units. Certain members of the executive management team, including the NEOs, elected to exchange their POP Allocations for special LTIP Units (the “POP LTIP Units”) as defined under the operating partnership agreement of Prologis, L.P., as amended and/or restated from time to time.

PROLOGIS PROXY STATEMENT  |  MARCH 25, 2022

DISCUSSION OF SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE AND THE GRANTS OF PLAN-BASED AWARDS

The POP LTIP Units are structured with the intent that the units will be comparable economically to the awards under POP. A participant electing to receive the POP LTIP Units will receive the same percentage of the pool as if the participant had not participated in the exchange. Like other forms of awards under the plan, the POP LTIP Units will have no economic value to the participants until and unless the performance criteria are achieved at the end of a performance period and other conditions are met. Once the Compensation Committee determines whether the performance criteria have been met, the POP LTIP Units will be forfeited to the extent not earned based on the terms of POP. To the extent an award is earned, aan NEO will retain the number of POP LTIP Units equal in economic value to the percentage of the performance pool originally allocated to the NEO at the beginning of the applicable performance period. Any POP LTIP Units in excess of such amount will be forfeited. Additional LTIP Units will be issued to true up the original number of POP LTIP units issued for the performance period to the extent such original issuance was insufficient to cover the value of the earned award.

Upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, including achievement of the relevant performance criteria, each POP LTIP Unit may be convertible into a common unit of the operating partnership and then redeemable for one share of our common stock, or cash at our option.

As has become standard tax structuring for profits interests that only vest if performance hurdles are met, the POP LTIP Units are entitled to distributions during the performance period equal to 10% of our common stock dividend. However, contrary to most performance-based programs at other REITs, we are requiring participants to make a significant,non-refundable capital contribution for the POP LTIP Units they receive. This feature is intended to make POP LTIP Units comparable economically to POP Allocations to applicable participants. This structure is designed so that participants receive no additional compensation as a result of the exchange of POP Allocations into POP LTIP Units. This creates downside risk for participants if the performance hurdles are not achieved causing the forfeiture of the capital invested in their POP LTIP Units.

As such, the issuance of POP LTIP Units in exchange for POP Allocations does not affect the compensation amounts for the NEOs in the Summary Compensation Table or in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table. The exchange of the POP LTIP Units for POP Allocations does not result in incremental fair value for accounting purposes and does not change the total compensation of the NEOs. As a result, the issuance of the POP LTIP Units in exchange for POP Allocations does not change the presentation of the value of the POP Allocations in the Summary Compensation Table or in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table.

As discussed in CD&A,the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the POP compensation pool only funds if and to the extent our three-year, compound annualized TSR exceeds the three-year compound annualized TSR of the MSCI REIT Index by 100 basis points.

In 2018, our NEOs voluntarily elected to apply long-term cliff vesting to 80% of any awards earned for the 2016-2018 and 2017-2019 performance periods. Under their election, 20% of amounts earned under applicable hurdles will be paid at the time applicable hurdles are met. A holding requirement will apply to these amounts until the sixth year after the beginning

DISCUSSION OF SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE AND THE GRANTS OF PLAN-BASED AWARDS

of the performance period. 80% of amounts earned under applicable hurdles will be subject to cliff vesting until the tenth year after the beginning of the performance period.

In the case of the 2016-2018 performance period, for example, Mr. Moghadam was paid an initial award of $11.3 million. 20% of the $11.3 million award was paid to him in LTIP units in January 2019. A holding period appliesapplied to this amount until 2022 (the sixth year after the beginning of the performance period). LTIP units comprising 80% of the $11.3 million are subject to cliff vesting until 2026 (ten years after the beginning of the performance period). As we exceeded the MSCI REIT Index threshold at the end of 2019, 2020 and 2021, Mr. Moghadam was paid 20% of the $2 million holdback award in LTIP units in January 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively, when the award wasawards were approved by the Compensation Committee. A holding period appliesapplied to this amountthese amounts until 2022. LTIP units comprising 80% of the $2 million isholdback award paid in January 2020, 2021 and 2022 are subject to cliff vesting until 2026. The same vesting construct will be applied to each of the $2 million awards that can be paid at the end of 2020 and 2021 if the additional performance hurdles are met, subjecting 80% of such awards to cliff vesting until 2026. See discussion of POP for the 2018-2020 performance period in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” for further details.

PPP Allocations

Please see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” for a discussion of the general structure of PPP and how it fits into our overall compensation program.

Under PPP, NEOs receive an allocation representing their share of a potential compensation pool (the “PPP Allocations”) that, if funded, will be awarded to the NEO in a percentage of equity with any remainder in cash. The equity portion of the

Prologis Proxy Statement  |  March 20, 2020

Discussion of Summary Compensation Table and the Grants of Plan-Based Awards

earned award would be paid in RSUs or LTIP Units with a four-year vesting period (or three-year vesting period for awards granted prior to the 2018 annual grant cycle).period. The PPP Allocations have no value unless and until an incentive fee or promote is received and the Compensation Committee grants the applicable PPP award. No awards or values are reported as of the date of the PPP Allocations because it is not possible to determine whether any incentive fees or promotes will be received in future years from a particular venture. For accounting purposes, the cash awards will be expensed when earned and paid to participants and the equity awards are expensed over the vesting period.

For each applicable venture prior to February 2020, the Compensation Committee made PPP Allocations to the NEOs such that 15% of the compensation pool will be paid to Mr. Moghadam and 6% of the compensation pool will be paid to each of the other NEOsMr. Olinger, Mr. Reilly, Mr. Anderson and Mr. Nekritz if such awards are earned. Starting in February 2020, to reflect shifting responsibilities, the committee reduced PPP Allocations for Mr. Olinger to 4% with respect to the future promotes of certain new ventures. In determining the PPP Allocations to the NEOs, the Compensation Committee utilized a similar rationale as with the POP Allocations discussed above.

PPP compensation pools were funded in 2019, 20182021, 2020 and 2017.2019. The value of a PPP award earned by aan NEO is reported as compensation in the year the award is paid to the NEO on the date of determination by the Compensation Committee. The cash awards earned by the NEOs in 2019, 2018,2021, 2020 and 20172019 under PPP are included as“Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” in the Summary Compensation Table for Fiscal Year 20192021 for the respective year. The equity awards (LTIP Units) are included as “Stock Awards” in the Summary Compensation Table for Fiscal Year 20192021 for the respective year.

Stock options

We discontinued the issuance of stock options prior to the Merger in June 2011. Stock options outstanding are all vested and exercisable. Stock options granted generally vested ratably over a continued service period of three years, however, certain stock options previously granted as a result of the bonus exchange vested over aone-year period (25% per quarter). Stock options were granted with an exercise price equal to the closing price of our common stock on the grant date. The exercise price for any outstanding stock option may not be decreased after the grant date except for reductions approved by our stockholders or if there is an overall adjustment to our outstanding shares, such as an adjustment triggered by a stock split. Stock options expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant date.

Represents earnings that are computed based on the specific investment options that are elected by the NEO, as described in the narrative discussion that follows these footnotes. Primarily these earnings consist of the dividends paid on the shares of our common stock deferred by the NEO and the change in the market value of those shares. These amounts are not included in the NEO’s total compensation presented in the Summary Compensation Table for Fiscal Year 20192021 above.

Participants in our nonqualified deferred compensation plans prior to the Merger received alump-sum payment, triggered by the Merger, equal to the value of their account balance in June 2011. After the Merger, we established a new nonqualified deferred compensation plan that is discussed in further detail below. Under this Notional Account NQDC Plan, an initial account credit value was established for the NEO. Participants in the Notional Account NQDC are credited with the excess in value, if any, of their Notional Earnings Account (representing the initial account credit value plus the cumulative earnings or losses associated with the underlying, hypothetical investments, if any) over the initial account credit value. The amount in column (f) represents the excess of the participant’s notional earnings account value over the initial account credit value as of December 31, 2019.2021. The extent to which this excess is attributable to changes in values during 20192021 is reflected as earnings for 20192021 in column (d). The initial account credit value is not reflected in this table because the participant does not have a right to the initial account credit value. See the narrative discussion that follows these footnotes.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

Narrative Discussion to Nonqualified Deferred Compensation in Fiscal Year 20192021 Table

2012 NQDC Plan

Effective 2012, we established a nonqualified deferred compensation plan (the “2012 NQDC Plan”). The 2012 NQDC Plan allows certain eligible employees andnon-employee directors of the company and our participating subsidiaries to elect to defer up to 100% of their eligible compensation, such as annual salary, bonus, equity awards and directors’ fees, that were earned and vested on or after January 1, 2012. The deferred compensation under the 2012 NQDC Plan is our unsecured obligation and amounts deferred are held in a rabbi trust. Participants select from various investment options available under the plan to earn investment credits on their elective deferrals. There are no guaranteed returns for any of the investment options or for any participants in the plans. The amount of earnings that a participant receives depends on the participant’s investment elections related to cash balances in the account and, with respect to shares of our common stock that have been deferred, the dividends earned on that stock and the change in market value of the stock during the period. The 2012 NQDC Plan offers a variety of investment choices with respect to cash contributions. Our common stock is not an investment option available with respect to deferrals of cash compensation. The NEOs did not elect to defer any of their 20192021 compensation (salary, bonus or equity awards) under the 2012 NQDC Plan.

If a participant elects to defer the receipt of an equity award, the underlying common stock is held in the rabbi trust, which cannot be reinvested in any other investment option. Cash dividends earned on these shares of our common stock after deferral are credited with earnings and losses based on specific investment options, other than our common stock, that are selected by the participant. Distributions under these plans are made in a lump sum payment upon termination of

NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION

employment, or service as anon-employee director, or in the event of a change in control or death of a participant. With respect to equity awards deferred bynon-employee directors, participants may elect to receive distributions prior to termination of service.

We have reserved the right under the 2012 NQDC Plan to make discretionary matching contributions to participant accounts from time to time. No such discretionary contributions have been made. The participants’ elective deferrals and matching contributions, if any, are fully vested at all times. We pay all of the administrative costs associated with the 2012 NQDC Plan. Generally, the compensation that is deferred istax-deferred until it is distributed to the participant. However, amounts deferred are subject to FICA and Medicare employee and employer taxes in accordance with statutory requirements.

In December 2014, the 2012 NQDC Plan was amended, primarily to allow for LTIP Units to be issued in lieu of other deferred compensation upon a distribution event.

AMB NQ Plans

Prior to the Merger, we maintained two nonqualified deferred compensation plans: (i) the Amended and Restated AMB 2005 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the “2005 NQ Plan”) and (ii) the Amended and Restated Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the “2002 NQ Plan”) (together, the “AMB NQ Plans”). The AMB NQ Plans allowed our directors and certain eligible employees to defer certain compensation, including the receipt of restricted stock awards and, in the case of the 2002 NQ Plan, gains from exercise of stock options, received under our equity compensation plans. The AMB NQ Plans provided that upon a change in control, such as the Merger in June 2011, participants would receive alump-sum payment equal to the vested account balance. Such distributions were made in 2011.

Compensation subject to deferral elections made under the AMB NQ Plans prior to the Merger with respect to compensation earned in 2011 and beyond was not subject to the distributions under the AMB NQ Plans triggered by the Merger. Mr. Moghadam has deferred certain gains resulting from the exercise of stock options under the 2002 NQ Plan. In addition, Mr. Moghadam and Mr. Olinger have deferred shares of our common stock received upon vesting of certain equity awards under the 2005 NQ Plan.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

The deferred compensation under the AMB NQ Plans is our unsecured obligation and amounts deferred are held in a rabbi trust. Participants select from various investment options available under the plans to receive investment credit on their elective deferrals. There are no guaranteed returns for any of the investment options or for any participants in the plans. The amount of earnings that a participant receives depends on the participant’s investment elections related to cash balances in the account and, with respect to deferred shares of our common stock, the dividends earned on the stock and the change in market value of the stock during the period. Cash dividends earned on shares of our common stock after deferral are credited earnings and losses based on specific investment options, other than our common stock, selected by the participant. Distributions under these plans are made in either a lump sum payment or installments. Participants can elect a specific distribution date in accordance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code or, if no election is made, the amounts will be distributed upon termination of the participant’s employment with us. Distributions are also made in the event of change in control or a participant’s death or disability.

In December 2014, the 2005 NQ Plan was amended, primarily to allow for LTIP Units to be issued in lieu of other deferred compensation upon a distribution event under the plan.

Notional Account NQDC Plan

The Notional Account NQDC Plan was adopted in conjunction with the Merger with the purpose of providing the opportunity for certain participants of the AMB NQ Plans to continue to receive tax deferred earnings with respect to taxes on distributions triggered by the Merger.

NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION

Each participant in the AMB NQ Plans who continued to be employed by us after the Merger or continued as anon-employee director after the Merger received an initial account credit in a notional earnings account under the Notional Account NQDC Plan. Mr. Moghadam and Mr. Olinger participate in the Notional Account NQDC Plan. The initial account credit value for a participant was equal to the deemed amount of the tax liability on the distributions they received in 2011 that were triggered by the Merger. The initial account credit value is either invested in our common stock or hypothetically invested in measurement funds selected by the participant, which do not include our common stock. Measurement funds are used for measurement purposes only and planthe Notional Account NQDC Plan participants do not have rights in or to the underlying hypothetical investments.

A notional earnings account is credited with hypothetical earnings or charged with hypothetical losses associated with the underlying hypothetical investments in measurement funds. Upon a distribution event under the plan,Notional Account NQDC Plan, the participant is entitled to the excess, if any, of the value in the notional earnings account (representing the value of the initial account credit plus cumulative earnings or losses associated with the underlying hypothetical investments, if any) over the initial account credit value.

In December 2014, the Notional Account NQDC Plan was amended, primarily to allow for LTIP Units to be issued in lieu of other deferred compensation upon a distribution event under such plan.

In September 2020, the Compensation Committee approved a form of amendment to the Notional Account NQDC Plan, which allows for the conversion of a notional stock account under such plan into an account structure intended to operate more similarly to accounts under our 2012 NQDC Plan. The value of a current notional stock account was to be determined using the stock price on the day of conversion. The account value upon conversion can be invested all or in part in investment options available under the Notional Account NQDC Plan, including our common stock or cash. This amendment became effective as of April 2021.

Mr. Moghadam’s initial account credit value was in the amount of $25,798,616. A rabbi trust was created to hold shares of our common stock and cash in the amount of Mr. Moghadam’s initial account credit balance. WeAt the inception of the Notional Account NQDC Plan, we issued 803,945 shares of our common stock to the rabbi trust representing Mr. Moghadam’s initial account credit value. The number of shares was determined based on the price of our common stock at the time, $32.09 per share. Mr. Moghadam iswas entitled to direct the voting of these shares and, as such, they arewere reflected as beneficially owned by him in the stock ownership table presented below.him. Mr. Moghadam iswas not entitled to receive these shares upon distribution of his notional earnings account under the plan.Notional Account NQDC Plan. Upon a distribution event under the plan,Notional Account NQDC Plan, Mr. Moghadam iswas entitled to the excess, if any, of the value in the notional earnings account (representing the value of the initial account credit plus cumulative earnings or losses associated with the underlying common stock, if any) over the initial account credit value. Upon the April 2021 amendment to the Notional Account NQDC Plan, Mr. Moghadam’s notional stock account was valued per the amendment and the account value was invested in an investment measurement fund available under such plan. As a result, Mr. Moghadam is no longer entitled to direct the voting of the 803,945 shares of our common stock in the Notional Account NQDC Plan’s rabbi trust.

Mr. Olinger’s initial account credit value was hypothetically invested in measurement funds selected by him. The initial account credit value for Mr. Olinger was $122,697.

In December 2014, the Notional Account NQDC Plan was amended, primarily to allow for LTIP Units to be issued in lieu of other deferred compensation upon a distribution event under the plan.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL

 

 

 

Potential Payments Upon Termination

or Change in Control

We have change in control and noncompetition agreements (the “CIC Agreements”) with our NEOs. The CIC Agreements are subject to automaticone-year extensions. Some form of benefits (cash payments and/or acceleration of vesting of unvested equity awards) are provided to our NEOs: (i) in the CIC Agreements; (ii) under the equity award agreements; or (iii) under the terms of POP. These benefits are available under the following scenarios: (1) death; (2) disability; (3) retirement (as defined and under certain circumstances); and (4) termination without cause or termination by employee for good reason within two years of a change in control (as defined)defined in the CIC Agreements).

In the event of a change in control, the CIC Agreements provide for severance benefits on a “double-trigger” basis with severance benefits payable only upon termination of employment (which is, generally, termination without cause or termination by employee for good reason as such term isterms are defined in the CIC Agreements), within two years following the change in control. Under the CIC Agreements, in consideration for the rights to receive such severance payments, the NEO is subject to confidentiality obligations during employment and after termination,non-competition obligations during the term of employment andnon-solicitation obligations for two years after the date of termination. A change of control, as defined in the CIC Agreements, generally occurs upon: (i) the consummation of a transaction, approved by our stockholders, to merge or consolidate the company with another entity, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets or adopt a plan of liquidation; provided, however, that a change in control shall not occur if a transaction results in 50% or more of the beneficial ownership of the voting power of the company or other relevant entity being held by the same persons (although not necessarily in the same proportion) who held the voting power of the company immediately prior to the transaction (except that upon the completion of the transaction, employees or employee benefit plans of the company may be a new holder of such beneficial ownership); (ii) the beneficial ownership of securities representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the company is acquired, other than from the company, by any person (with certain exceptions); or (iii) at any time during any period of two consecutive years, board members at the beginning of such period cease to constitute at least a majority of the Board (unless the election or the nomination for election of each new director was approved by a vote of at leasttwo-thirds of the directors still in office at the time of such election or nomination who were directors at the beginning of such period).

Potential payments due to the NEOs under the scenarios listed above are presented in the table below based on the assumption that a termination occurred as of December 31, 2019.2021. The acceleration of vesting of unvested equity awards benefit is estimated using the closing stock price of our common stock on December 31, 20192021, of $89.14$168.36 per share. Under our company policy, each of our employees would be paid for their earned and unused vacation benefits upon termination under any termination scenario, so the value of this benefit is not included in the amounts below. Because the termination scenarios are as of December 31, 2019,2021, the NEOs would have completed the performance year such that they would receive their annual bonus and their annual long-term equity incentive award for the 20192021 performance year. Therefore, these payments are not considered to be severance benefits and such amounts are not included in the amounts presented.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

(1)

Cause is generally defined in the CIC Agreements as: (i) the willful and continued failure by the executive to substantially perform specified duties; (ii) the engaging in conduct that is demonstrably injurious to the company (monetarily or otherwise); or (iii) the engaging in egregious misconduct involving serious moral turpitude. Termination by employee for good reason, as generally defined in the CIC Agreements, can occur should we: (i) change the executive’s duties such that they are inconsistent with the position held prior to the change in control and results in a material diminution in the executive’s authority, duties or responsibilities; (ii) material reduction in the executive’s annual base compensation after the change in control; (iii) relocate the executive’s place of employment more than 50 miles from the current location or require the executive to be based anywhere other than where the executive was based prior to the change in control without the executive’s written consent resulting in a material change to geographic location; or (iv) not comply with the provisions of the agreements or arrangements pertaining to the officer’s compensation and benefits.

 

(2)

Under the death and disability scenarios contained in the CIC Agreements, the NEO would receive a cash severance payment equal to his annual base salary plus the annual bonus amount that he received or was entitled to receive for the most recent annual period (target level for 2019)2021) less amounts that would be paid to the executive from other company benefits. The starting amount under each scenario ($2,500,000 for Mr. Moghadam, and $1,350,000 for each of the other NEOs)Mr. Olinger, $1,750,000 for Mr. Reilly, $1,527,500 for Mr. Anderson and $1,495,000 for Mr. Nekritz) is based on the executive’s annual base salary (or in the case of Mr. Moghadam, salary plus any equity compensation paid in lieu

PROLOGIS PROXY STATEMENT  |  MARCH 25, 2022

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL

of salary) as of December 31, 20192021 ($1,000,000 for Mr. Moghadam, and $600,000 for each of the other NEOs)Mr. Olinger, $700,000 for Mr. Reilly and $650,000 for Mr. Anderson and Mr. Nekritz) and the executive’s annual bonus at target for 20192021 ($1,500,000 for Mr. Moghadam, and $750,000 for each of the other NEOs)Mr. Olinger, $1,050,000 for Mr. Reilly, $877,500 for Mr. Anderson and $845,000 for Mr. Nekritz). Under the death scenario, each executive’s severance payment has been reduced by $1,000,000, which is the approximate present value of the life insurance benefit provided by the company. The life insurance benefit provided by the company is two times base salary with a limit of $1,000,000. Under the disability scenario, the starting amount is the same as under the death scenario and each executive’s severance payment has been reduced to zero based on the expected present value of future disability benefits that the executive would receive that are provided and funded by the company. The annual disability benefit provided by the company is 60% of base salary subject to a maximum of $204,000 per year. For this purpose, it is assumed that the present value of the future annual disability benefits to be received will be in excess of the payments required under the CIC Agreements. Under the change in control scenario, the NEO would receive cash severance equal to two times his annual base salary (or, in the case of Mr. Moghadam, base salary plus equity compensation paid in lieu of salary) and two times his annual bonus (at target) for the current year.

 

(3)

In the change in control scenario contained in the CIC Agreements, the NEO would receive a cash payment equal to the cost of continuation of health insurance coverage in place at the date of termination for 24 months. Additionally, the CIC Agreements provide for the payment of an amount equal to two times the company’s matching contribution under the 401(k) Plan ($34,200)26,000) and for outplacement services for one year with an estimated value of $25,000.

 

(4)

The CIC Agreements provide for the reduction of any payments to which the NEO is entitled after a change in control should such payments constitute a “parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code). Such payments shall be either (a) reduced (but not below zero) so that the aggregate present value of the payment shall be $1.00 less than three times the officer’s “base amount” (also as defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code) so that no portion of the payment will be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code or (b) paid in full, whichever produces the better netafter-tax result for the NEO (taking into account any applicable excise tax under Section 4999 and any applicable income taxes). Under the scenarios for 2019,2021, none of the NEOs would receive a better netafter-tax result with a reduction.

 

(5)

The estimates for each scenario reflect the value that would be realized as of December 31, 20192021, as a result of accelerated vesting of earned but unvested stock awards, LTIP Units and POP LTIP Units. Values are included to the extent that vesting would be accelerated under the applicable scenario under the terms of the applicable agreements. All stock options held by the NEOs are vested so no additional value is realized under any scenario related to stock options. For each scenario, the value attributable to stock awards is computed based on the closing price of our common stock on December 31, 20192021 ($89.14)168.36).

 

  

Under the death and disability scenarios, awards under POP would not be paid until the end of the applicable performance period and the actual awards paid would be based on performance for the entire performance period. Under these scenarios, the value of the POP Allocation to each NEO (and the POP LTIP Units exchanged for such POP Allocations) for the 2016-2018 performance period, 2017-2019 performance period, 2018-2020 performance period, 2019-2021 performance period, 2020-2022 performance period and 2019-20212021-2023 performance period is computed as of December 31, 20192021, using estimated compensation pools based on actual performance for the performance period through December 31, 2019.2021. As of December 31, 2019,2021, we estimate the aggregate compensation pool for these performance periods is $115.0 million for the 2016-2018 performance period, $142.1 million for the 2017-2019 performance period, $100.0 million for the 2018-2020 performance period, $100.0 million for the 2019-2021 performance period, $100.0 million for the 2020-2022 performance period and $100.0 million for the 2019-20212021-2023 performance period. We have included values based on these estimated amounts assuming that applicable performance hurdles will be met at the applicable measurement dates.

 

  

As of December 31, 2019,2021, the value of the aggregate compensation pool for the 2016-2018 performance period is $115.0 million, assuming thatas Base Value awards (as Base Value is defined in POP) and Excess Value awards (as Excess Value is defined in POP) have met all applicable performance hurdles. Awards for the 2016-2018 performance period were determined by the Compensation Committee on January 9, 2019 (with respect to the Base Value awards), and on January 27,15, 2020, January 15, 2021, and January 18, 2022 (with respect to the first, second and third tranche of Excess Value awards). The portions of the awards that vested immediately in January 2019, 2020, 2021 and January 20202022 are excluded from the death, disability and change in control calculations (as the participant would have been paid these portions regardless of death, disability or a change in control). The portions of the awards that are subject to cliff vesting that would accelerate upon termination are included in the death, disability and change in control amounts.

CEO Pay Ratio

CEO PAY RATIO

 

 

 

CEO Pay Ratio

We provide fair and equitable compensation to our employees through a combination of competitive base pay, incentives, retirement plans and other benefits. As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(u) of RegulationS-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of our employees and the annual total compensation of our CEO, Mr. Moghadam:

For 2019,2021, our last completed fiscal year:

 

· 

the annual total compensation of the employee identified at the median of our company as of December 31, 20192021, (other than the CEO) was $117,751;$114,183; and

 

· 

the annual total compensation of our CEO, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table included in this Proxy Statement, was $30,383,438.$24,901,490.

Based on this information, the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the median of the annual total compensation of all other employees was 258218 to 1.

This pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules based on our payroll and employment records and the methodology described below. The SEC rules for identifying the median compensated employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions, and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their compensation practices. As such, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above, as other companies may have different employment and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.

Pay ratios within our industry will also differ and may not be comparable depending on the size, scope, global breadth and structure of the company.

To identify the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees, as well as to determine the annual total compensation of the “median employee,” the methodology and the material assumptions, adjustments and estimates that we used were as follows:

 

· 

We identified our median compensated employee as of December 31, 2018.2021.

 

· 

To identify the median employee, we calculated compensation of our employees using their 20182021 annual base salaries, bonuses for the 20182021 performance year (including any bonus exchange premium received), annual LTI equity awards paid in 2018,2021, value of POP Allocations for the 2018-20202021-2023 performance period, PPP awards paid in 20182021 and company contributions to applicable retirement plans.

 

· 

As of December 31, 2018,2021, our employee population consisted of 1,6172,053 individuals. The total number of U.S. andnon-U.S. employees were 8781,166 and 739,887, respectively.

 

· 

We did not exclude any employees from our employee population. We excluded a limited number of temporary agency employees, whose compensation is determined by the agency and who are not considered our employees for purposes of the pay ratio calculation.

 

· 

We annualized the base pay and cash incentive bonus for 20182021 new hires.

 

· 

Foreign salaries were converted to U.S. dollars at the December 31, 20182021, exchange rate.

 

· 

No cost of living adjustments were utilized in the compensation calculation.

 

· 

Once the median employee was identified, we calculated the total compensation for our median employee for 20192021 using the same methodology we used to calculate Mr. Moghadam’s total compensation in the Summary Compensation Table for the Fiscal Year 2019.2021.

ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE THE COMPANY’S EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

 

 

 

PROPOSAL 2

Advisory Vote to Approve the Company’s Executive Compensation for 2019 (Proposal 2)2021

The Dodd-Frank Act allows our stockholders to vote to approve, on an advisory(non-binding) basis, the compensation of our NEOs as disclosed in this proxy statement in accordance with SEC rules.

The compensation of our NEOs is discussed above under “Executive Compensation.” Our executive compensation programs are designed to attract, motivate and retain our NEOs, who are critical to our success. Under these programs, our NEOs are rewarded for the achievement of specific annual, long-term and strategic goals and the realization of increased stockholder value. Please read CD&Athe Compensation Discussion and Analysis for additional details about our executive compensation programs, including information about the compensation of our NEOs for 2019.2021.

This proposal, commonly known as asay-on-pay”Say-on-Pay” proposal, gives our stockholders the opportunity to express their views on our NEOs’ compensation that is described in this proxy statement. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our NEOs and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this proxy statement. Accordingly, we ask our stockholders to vote “FOR” the following resolution at the annual meeting:

“RESOLVED, that the company’s stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the company’s 20192021 executive compensation, as discussed and disclosed in the company’s proxy statement for the 20202022 annual meeting of stockholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Executive Compensation Tables and related narratives.”

You may vote for, vote against or abstain from voting to approve the above resolution on the company’s executive compensation for 2019.2021. Assuming a quorum is present, to be approved by the stockholders, the number of votes cast “For” the proposal must receiveexceed the affirmative votenumber of a majority of the shares of common stock having voting power present in person or by proxy at the annual meeting. Abstentions and brokernon-votes are considered voting power present in person or by proxy and thus will have the same effect assuch votes cast “Against” the proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal.

As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding on the company. However, the Compensation Committee values the opinions of our stockholders and reviews and considers the voting results when making executive compensation decisions. The company currently intends to hold an advisory vote on its executive compensation on an annual basis.

 

 

LOGOLOGO

The Board unanimously recommends that the stockholders vote, on an advisory basis, "FOR"FOR the approval of our 20192021 executive compensation, as disclosed in this proxy statement pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

 

 

 

Director Compensation

Non-employee directors are compensated with a mix of cash and equity-based compensation, with a higher percentage of the overall mix in equity-based compensation. An employee who also serves as a member of the Board, such as Mr. Moghadam, does not receive additional compensation for service on the Board.

In May 2019, FW CookApril 2021, Pay Governance conducted a competitive review of ournon-employee director compensation to ensure that our compensation levels are competitive, and the structure of the program is consistent with corporate governance best practices. The Compensation Committee has targetedThis analysis compared ournon-employee director compensation at the medianto a general industry group (1) and to a REIT group composed of the S&P 200 (consistent with our size relative to these companies) but not to exceed the 90th percentile of a comparison group of 11large-cap REITs. These REITs are the same companies that are largest publicly traded REITS in the comparisonUnited States.(2) This analysis was conducted prior to our refinement of the peer group that is used to evaluate executive compensation and arethat is listed above under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.”

FW Cook’sPay Governance’s review found that (i) ournon-employee director compensation is betweenjust above the 75th and 90th percentile of the comparison group and between the median and 75th percentile of the S&P 200, assuming a 5% increase in competitive director compensation in 2019 and (ii) the mix between the cash and equity components of ournon-employee director compensation (39% in cash and 61% in equity) was consistent with median competitive practice.

The Compensation Committee recommended no increases to director compensation. The recommendations were approved by the full Board.

Compensation applicable to service on the Board by ournon-employee directors for 20192021 (starting in July 2019)2021) was as follows:

 

· 

Annual cash retainer: $120,000

 

· 

Annual equity awards: Valued on the grant date at $190,000

 

 

In the form of deferred share units (“DSUs”), each convertible into one share of our common stock, that will vest upon the earlier of one year from the grant date or the date of the next annual meeting. After vesting, receipt of the underlying common stock is deferred until at least three years from the grant date. The DSUs earn dividend equivalent units (“DEUs”) while they are outstanding.

 

· 

Lead independent director retainer: $50,000

 

· 

Annual retainer for serving as chair of a committee:

 

 

Audit: $30,000

 

 

Compensation: $25,000

 

 

Governance: $20,000

 

 

Executive: None

 

· 

Excess meeting fee: Meeting fee of $1,500 for each meeting attended in excess of a combined 20 Board and committee meetings per year.

The equity component of the compensation paid to our directors is awarded under the terms of the 20122020 LTIP. See the narrative discussion that follows the Grants of Plan-Based Awards for Fiscal Year 20192021 table above under “Executive Compensation.” In addition, we reimburse our directors for reasonable travel costs incurred to attend the meetings of the Board and its committees.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans for Directors

2012 NQDC Plan and AMB NQ Plans

Ms. Bita and Messrs. Fotiades Losh and Webb elected to defer receipt of their annual retainers and other fees earned, as applicable, in 2019.2021. The compensation earned by these directors has been converted into phantom shares in a hypothetical fee deferral account, under the terms of the 2012 NQDC Plan. The footnotes to the Director Compensation for Fiscal Year 20192021 table below contain information on the amount of deferrals applicable to these directors.

In 2012, Mr. Fotiades deferred his annual cash retainer into a cash account under the 2012 NQDC Plan. As of December 31, 2019,2021, Mr. Fotiades’ balance in the cash account under the 2012 NQDC Plan was $223,865,$357,460, including a gain in 20192021 of $54,924.$64,945.

See discussion of our deferred compensation plans in the narrative that follows the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation in Fiscal Year 20192021 table above under “Executive Compensation.”

Notional Account NQDC Plan

Under the Notional Account NQDC Plan, Mr. Losh and Ms. Kennard received an initial account credit value in a notional earnings account equal to the amount of the deemed tax liability on the distributions theyshe received in 2011 triggered by the Merger. The initial account credit value is hypothetically invested in measurement funds selected by the participant, which do not include our company stock. Measurement funds are used for measurement purposes only and plan participants do not have rights in or to the underlying hypothetical investments. Notional earnings accounts are credited with hypothetical earnings or charged with hypothetical losses associated with the underlying hypothetical investments. Upon theirher retirement from the Board, Mr. Losh and Ms. Kennard areis entitled to the excess, if any, of the value in theirher notional earnings account (representing the value of the initial account credit plus cumulative earnings or losses associated with the underlying hypothetical investments, if any) over theirher initial account credit value.

The initial account credit values for Mr. Losh and Ms. Kennard were $469,558 and $98,047, respectively.was $98,047. As of December 31, 2019,2021, the value of the notional earnings account exceeded the initial account credit value for Mr. LoshMs. Kennard by $777,571,$130,513, including an increase attributable to 20192021 of $280,970, and for Ms. Kennard by $61,162, including an increase attributable to 2019 of $28,089.$31,136.

See discussion of our deferred compensation plans in the narrative that follows the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation in Fiscal Year 20192021 table above under “Executive Compensation.”

ProLogis Deferred Fee Plan for Trustees

This plan, which was assumed by us in the Merger, allowed members of the Trust’s board to receive their fees currently or elect to defer the receipt of their fees until after their board service ended. Deferrals were in the form of cash or Trust common shares. For those choosing shares, fees earned were credited to hypothetical fee deferral accounts based on the closing price of the common shares as of the date of the deferral. Under the Merger agreement, the Trust common shares in the deferral account were converted to our common stock using the Merger exchange ratio. Each share in the hypothetical account represents one share of our common stock and earns dividends under the same terms as dividends

paid on our common stock. Upon retirement from the Board, the participant will be issued the shares of common stock included in their hypothetical fee deferral account pursuant to specific deferral elections, which generally delay payment until the next fiscal year after service on the Board ends. No additional deferrals could be made under this plan after December 31, 2011.

Mr. Fotiades participated in this plan at the time of the Merger. As of December 31, 2019,2021, including amounts earned as dividends, Mr. Fotiades had a balance of 24,52625,651 shares in his hypothetical fee deferral account.

Mr. Zollars has a hypothetical fee deferral account associated with prior service on the Trust’s board but was not a participant in this plan at the time of the Merger. Mr. Zollars’ balance (796 shares as of December 31, 2019) is being distributed to him in ten annual installments through 2020.

Directors may elect to defer their compensation under the 2012 NQDC Plan. Under this plan, the cash compensation is converted into phantom shares that are held in a hypothetical fee deferral account under the terms of the 2012 NQDC Plan. As of December 31, 2019,2021, the balance in the hypothetical fee deferral accounts under the 2012 NQDC Plan (which also includes deferrals prior to 2019)2021) and the years in which the deferral was elected were as follows:

 

· Ms. Bita: (2020-2021):

  15,972

19,466 shares (including 382369 DEUs earned in 2019)2021)

 

  

Based on their individual elections, each of the directors’ phantom shares will be distributed to them upon termination of service on the Board. See the discussion above and also the narrative discussion that follows the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation in Fiscal Year 20192021 table above under “Executive Compensation.”

Represents the grant date fair value of 2,4481,634 DSUs awarded to each of ournon-employee directors who were elected at our annual meeting on May 1, 2019.April 29, 2021. The value of the DSUs is based on the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant which was $77.60$116.27 per share. The DSUs vest on the earlier of the date of our next annual meeting or theone-year anniversary of the grant date. These awards are expected to vest on April 29, 2020, the date of our 2020 annual meeting.2022. Receipt of the vested DSUs is deferred until three years from the grant date. Messrs. Fotiades, Losh, Lyons and O’Connor have elected to further defer the receipt of the DSUs granted in 20192021 until their service on the Board ends. While they are outstanding, DSUs earn DEUs, which are vested and paid to the director under the same terms as the underlying DSU award.

 

  

We awarded DSUs under similar terms to our directors in 2016,2018, which were distributed (3,939(2,934 shares) in May 2019April 2021 to all directors other than Messrs.

Awards granted in 20172019 and 20182020 are now fully vested and are scheduled to be distributed in May 2022 and April 2020 and May 2021,2023, respectively, unless a specific deferral election has been made by the director.

 

  

Prior to the Merger, we granted restricted stock to our directors, and the Trust granted DSUs to members of its board. The restricted stock had aone-year vesting period and directors could elect to defer the awards after vesting under the AMB NQ Plans discussed above. The DSUs granted by the Trust were immediately vested but were required to be deferred until after the director’s service ended. The DSUs held by those trustees who joined our Board after the Merger were assumed by us under the Merger agreement, were converted based on the Merger exchange ratio, and continue to be deferred. These DSUs earn DEUs while they are outstanding.

We currently grant equity awards only under the 2012 LTIP. However, we do have awards outstanding that were granted under the AMB Plans and the Trust Plans. All future equity awards will be granted from the 2020 LTIP (as defined below) if Proposal 3 is approved. The available shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the AMB Plans and the Trust Plans as of May 3, 2012, the date our stockholders approved the 2012 LTIP, were added to the share reserve of the 2012 LTIP. All outstanding awards under the AMB Plans and the Trust Plans will remain outstanding until they vest, expire, or are forfeited by the participant. The 2012 LTIP does not expire but no further awards can be granted under the plan after the tenth anniversary date of the plan approval.

Equity Compensation Plans

Approval of Prologis, Inc 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan (Proposal 3)

On [                    ], 2020, the Board, upon the recommendation of the compensation committee, adopted the Prologis, Inc. 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2020 LTIP”), subject to approval by our stockholders. The Board adopted the 2020 LTIP to ensure that we can continue to grant equity and equity-based awards, which are an integral part of our compensation program, and so that we can continue to attract and retain employees and other persons providing services to us and our affiliates, attract and retain as outside directors the highly competent individuals upon whose judgment, initiative, leadership and continued efforts the success of we depend, to motivate participants in the 2020 LTIP, by means of appropriate incentives, to achieve long-range goals; to provide incentive compensation opportunities that are competitive with those of other corporations and real estate investment trusts, and to further identify 2020 LTIP participants’ interests with those of our other stockholders through compensation that is based on the value of our common stock, all to promote the long-term financial interest of us and our affiliates, including the growth in value of our equity and enhancement of long-term stockholder return.

Subject to the approval of our stockholders at the annual meeting, the 2020 LTIP will become effective as of the date of the annual meeting and no awards can be made under the 2020 LTIP until it is approved by our stockholders. If the 2020 LTIP is approved, no further awards will be granted under our current Prologis, Inc. 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2012 LTIP”) or any of our prior long-term incentive plans (the “Prior Plans”). As described below, however, any shares that are available for issuance under the 2012 LTIP as of the approval date or shares subject to awards under the 2012 LTIP or the Prior Plans as of the approval date that are forfeited, expire or are terminated without issuance of shares of common stock (including awards that are settled in cash) or shares subject to Full Value Awards (described below) that are tendered or withheld in payment of the taxes payable with respect to the grant, vesting or settlement of the award, shall thereafter be available for further grants under the 2020 LTIP. Shares tendered to pay the exercise price or taxes upon exercise of a stock option or stock appreciation right (“SAR”) will not again be available under the 2020 LTIP. The 2020 LTIP will continue in effect until terminated by the Board but in no event may awards be granted under the 2020 LTIP after theten-year anniversary of the approval date that it is approved by our stockholders (the “approval date”).

A summary of the 2020 LTIP is set forth below. The summary, however, is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the 2020 LTIP which is attached as Appendix B.

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

As of December 31, 2019, 4,555,149 shares of our common stock remained available for grant under the 2012 LTIP and 10,360,520 shares of our common stock were issuable pursuant to outstanding awards under the 2012 LTIP and the Prior Plans.

We estimate that the number of shares currently available for grant under the 2012 LTIP, based on the rate at which we used shares under the 2012 LTIP for the last seven years, may be exhausted within one to two years.

In developing the size of the share pool and request for additional shares, we were mindful of the pool’s potentially dilutive impact on stockholders. In that regard, we are proposing a share pool that in terms of size and expected duration falls well within industry practice.

Equity Compensation Plans

A metric used to measure the cumulative impact of our equity compensation programs is overhang (equity awards outstanding, but not exercised, plus equity awards available to grant, divided by total common shares outstanding plus limited partnership units, that are convertible into shares of our common stock on aone-for-one basis, as of the end of the year). Our overhang as of [December 31, 2019] is provided below.

Outstanding options have a weighted average exercise price of $30.85, and a weighted average term to expiration of 0.87 years at December 31, 2019.

The number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to equity awards granted under the 2020 LTIP is [            ] plus the aggregate number of shares of common stock available for issuance (and not subject to outstanding awards) under the 2012 LTIP as of the Approval Date. This represents an increase of approximately [                ] shares from the number of shares available for issuance under the 2012 LTIP prior to the approval date. Following approval of the 2020 LTIP, no awards will be made under the 2012 LTIP.

Our Board is submitting the 2020 LTIP as a single proposal to our stockholders for approval at the annual meeting. Stockholder approval of the 2020 LTIP is required by the rules of the NYSE.

A summary of the material provisions of the 2020 LTIP is set forth below and a complete copy is set forth in Appendix B.

Assuming a quorum is present, to be approved by the stockholders, the proposal must receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock present in person or by proxy at the annual meeting, as well as a majority of the votes cast. Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, are considered shares present in person or by proxy and thus will have the same effect as votes cast “Against” the proposal.

LOGO

The Board unanimously recommends that the stockholders vote "FOR" the approval of the Prologis, Inc. 2020 Long-term Incentive Plan.

Key Features of the 2020 LTIP

The Board believes that the 2020 LTIP promotes the interests of our stockholders by aligning the interests of participants in the 2020 LTIP with those of our stockholders and by including features that support good pay practices. These key features include the following (all of which are discussed in greater detail below):

Administration.The 2020 LTIP is administered by a committee that is comprised solely of independent,non-employee directors.

Individual Award Limits; Limits on Outside Director Compensation.Although no longer required for compliance with Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, the 2020 LTIP continues to include limits on the amount of awards that can be granted to eligible individuals during a specified period. In addition, the 2020 LTIP provides for limits on the amount of compensation that can be paid tonon-employee directors (“Outside Directors”) during a specified period.

No repricing of Options and SARs.All stock options (“Options”) and SARs granted under the 2020 LTIP must have an exercise price at least equal to the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant. The 2020 LTIP expressly prohibits repricing of Options and SARs. The prohibitions on repricing include a reduction in the exercise price of an outstanding Option or SAR, surrender of an outstanding Option or SAR to us as consideration for the grant of a replacement Option or SAR with a lower exercise price or the grant of a Full Value Award (described below), or surrender of an outstanding Option or SAR to us in consideration for a cash payment if, at the time of such surrender, the exercise price of the Option or SAR is greater than the then current fair market value of a share of common stock. The foregoing restrictions do not apply in the case of adjustments in connection with certain corporate events or adjustments approved by our stockholders.

Payment of Dividends and Dividend Equivalents.The 2020 Plan provides that no dividends or dividend equivalent rights will be paid or settled on performance-based awards that have not been earned based on the performance criteria established.

No Evergreen Provisions.The 2020 LTIP not contain “evergreen” provisions. Instead, the 2020 LTIP provides for a fixed number of shares of common stock that may be issued and our stockholders must approve any increase in that number of shares.

Recoupment/Misconduct.Awards under the 2020 LTIP are subject to our recoupment and clawback policies. In addition, if the Committee (as defined below) determines that a present or former employee has used for profit or disclosed to unauthorized persons, confidential or trade secrets of us or any of our affiliates, breached any contract with or violated any fiduciary obligation to us or any of our affiliates, or engaged in any conduct which the Committee determines is injurious to us or any of our affiliates, the Committee may cause that employee to forfeit his or her outstanding awards under the Plan. In addition, in exercise of its powers and authorities under the 2020 LTIP, it is the Committee’s policy to determine that a participant is in good standing at the time of his or her termination; if a participant is not in good standing, the Committee (or its delegate) may cause the participant’s awards, whether vested or unvested, to be forfeited.

Change in Control.The definition of Change in Control under the 2012 Plan requires consummation of the transaction (rather than just the signing of an agreement or an announcement of the possible transaction). Change in Control benefits under the 2012 LTIP require a “double trigger” (occurrence of the Change in Control and termination of employment within a specified period).

Summary of the Terms of the 2020 LTIP

The following is a summary of the principal features of the 2020 LTIP. The 2020 LTIP is attached hereto as Appendix B and is hereby incorporated into this proxy statement by reference. Stockholders are urged to read the actual text of the 2020 LTIP in its entirety.

Types of Awards

The grant of a benefit or award under the 2020 LTIP is referred to as an “Award.” The types of Awards that may be granted under the 2020 LTIP are incentive stock options (“ISOs”),non-qualified stock options (“NQOs”, which together with ISOs, are referred to collectively as “Options”), SARs, and “Full Value Awards” (including restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, performance stock and performance stock units and awards with respect to partnership interests which are convertible into, exchangeable for or redeemable in shares of common stock), each as described in more detail below. Substitute Awards are shares of our common stock issued in assumption of, or in substitution or exchange for, an award previously granted, or the right or obligation to make a future award, in all cases by a company acquired by us or our affiliates.

Administration of the 2020 LTIP

The authority to control and manage the operation and administration of the 2020 LTIP generally will be vested in a committee of the Board (the “Committee”) that is selected by the Board and must consist of at least two members of the Board (or such greater number required by applicable law) who are independent for purposes of applicable stock exchange listing requirements. If the Committee does not exist, or for any other reason determined by the Board, the Board may take any action under the 2020 LTIP that would otherwise be the responsibility of the Committee. In any event, the “Committee” with respect to Outside Directors is the Board.

Participation

The persons eligible to receive Awards under the 2020 LTIP (“Eligible Individuals”) are employees of us and our subsidiaries, consultants or other persons providing services to us or our subsidiaries and members of the Board; provided that ISOs may only be granted to an employee of us or certain of our corporate subsidiaries. Subject to the terms of the 2020 LTIP, the Committee determines from among the Eligible Individuals who will receive Awards, the number of shares of common stock subject to the Awards, the exercise price of an Award (if applicable), and other terms of the Awards.

As of [                    ], 2020, there were approximately [    ] persons who would be considered Eligible Individuals for purposes of the 2020 LTIP, although under our existing policies there are only about [    ] employees and Outside Director participants in the 2020 LTIP. The consideration to be received by us for the granting of Awards under the 2020 LTIP is service to us or our affiliates. An Eligible Individual who is granted an Award under the 2020 LTIP is referred to as a “Participant” in the 2020 LTIP.

Available Shares and Share Information; Limitations on Awards

If approval of the 2020 LTIP is obtained, the total number of shares of common stock that will be available for issuance under the 2020 LTIP will be equal to [    ] plus the aggregate number of shares of common stock available for issuance (and not subject to outstanding awards) under our 2012 LTIP as of the Approval Date.

Equity Compensation Plans

Shares of common stock covered by an Award will only be counted as used to the extent they are actually used. Any shares of common stock that are subject to an Award under the 2020 LTIP (or the 2012 LTIP or any Prior Plan) that is forfeited, expires or is terminated without issuance of shares of common stock (including shares that are attributable to Awards that are settled in cash) and shares that are tendered or withheld for payment of the taxes with respect to the grant, vesting or settlement of Full Value Awards (whether granted under the Plan, the 2012 LTIP, or any Prior Plan) shall thereafter be available for future grants under the 2020 LTIP. Shares withheld in payment of the exercise price of an Option or to pay taxes upon exercise of an Option or SAR (whether granted under the Plan, the 2012 LTIP or any Prior Plan) will not thereafter be available for future grants under the LTIP. Shares subject to Substitute Awards will not reduce the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Plan (and shares subject to a Substitute Award that is forfeited, expires or is terminated or settled in cash will not again be available for issuance under the 2020 LTIP). Upon stock settlement of SARs, the gross number of shares of common stock subject to the SARs originally granted shall be counted as issued for purposes of the limitations on shares available for issuance under the 2020 LTIP, regardless of the number of shares of common stock actually issued upon such stock settlement. To the extent provided by the Committee, any Award under the 2020 LTIP may be settled in cash rather than shares of common stock.

The maximum number of shares that may be delivered under the 2020 LTIP pursuant to ISOs is [    ]. The following limits will also apply: (1) with respect to the grant of an Award to any one individual in any one calendar year, no more than 1,500,000 shares of common stock may be subject to Options or SARs and no more than 1,500,000 shares of common stock may be subject to Full Value Awards. In the case of any Full Value Award, if the Award is denominated in common stock but an equivalent amount of cash is delivered in lieu of the shares, the foregoing individual limits will be applied based on the methodology used by the Committee to convert the number of shares of common stock to cash (or if the Award is denominated in cash but an equivalent amount of common stock is delivered in lieu of the cash, the foregoing individual limits will be applied based on the methodology used by the Committee to convert the cash to common stock) and if the delivery of shares of common stock or cash is deferred until after the common stock or cash has been earned, any adjustment in the amount delivered to reflect actual or deemed earnings or other investment experience during the deferral period will be disregarded.

The 2020 LTIP also provides that the sum of any cash compensation or other compensation and the value of any Awards granted to an Outside Director as compensation for services as an Outside Director during the annual period between regular annual meetings of our stockholders may not exceed $1,000,000. The Committee may make exceptions to this limit for individual Outside Directors in exceptional circumstances, as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion, provided that the Outside Director receiving such additional compensation may not participate in the decision to award such compensation.

The shares with respect to which Awards may be made under the 2020 LTIP will be shares of common stock currently authorized but unissued or currently held or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, subsequently acquired by us as treasury shares, including shares of common stock purchased in the open market or in private transactions.

As of [                    ], 2020, we had an aggregate of [                ] shares of common stock outstanding. The closing price per share of common stock on [                    ], 2020, as reported by the NYSE, was $ [        ].

Adjustments to Shares Available

In the event of a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation,split-up,spin-off, exchange of shares, sale of assets or subsidiaries, combination, or other corporate event that affects the common stock such that the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that an adjustment is warranted in order to preserve the benefits or prevent the enlargement of benefits of Awards under the 2020 LTIP, the Committee shall, in the manner it determines equitable in its sole discretion, (a) adjust the number and kind of shares which may be delivered under the 2020 LTIP (including adjustments to the number and kind of shares that may be granted to an individual during any specified time), (b) adjust the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding Awards, (c) adjust the exercise price of outstanding Options and SARs, and (d) make any other adjustments that the Committee determines to be equitable (which may include, without limitation, (i) replacement of Awards with other awards which the Committee determines have comparable value and which are based on stock of a company resulting from the transaction, and (ii) cancellation of the Award in return for cash payment of the current value of the Award,

Equity Compensation Plans

determined as though the Award is fully vested at the time of payment, provided that in the case of an Option or SAR, the amount of such payment may be the excess of value of the shares of common stock subject to the Option or SAR at the time of the transaction over the exercise price).

Options and SARs

The grant of an “Option” under the 2020 LTIP entitles the Participant to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price established by the Committee. The Committee also will determine whether an Option is an ISO or an NQO, provided that an Option will be deemed to be an NQO unless it is specifically designated by the Committee as an ISO and/or to the extent it does not otherwise satisfy the requirements for an ISO. A SAR entitles the Participant to receive, in cash or shares of common stock, value equal to the excess of: (i) the fair market value of a specific number of shares of common stock at the time of exercise, over (ii) an exercise price established by the Committee.

The “exercise price” of each Option and SAR granted is established by the Committee or determined by a method established by the Committee at the time the Option or SAR is granted; provided, however, that the exercise price may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant (or, if greater, the par value of a share of common stock).

The exercise price for any outstanding Option or SAR may not be decreased after the date of grant nor may an outstanding Option or SAR granted under the 2020 LTIP be surrendered to us as consideration for the grant of a replacement Option or SAR with a lower exercise price or a Full Value Award (except for either adjustments related to corporate events or reductions in exercise price approved by our stockholders). Unless approved by our stockholders, no Option or SAR granted under the 2020 LTIP may be surrendered to us in consideration for a cash payment if, at the time of surrender, the exercise price of the Option or SAR is greater than the then current fair market value of a share of common stock.

An Option and SAR may, but need not, be granted in tandem. If an Option is granted in tandem with a SAR, the exercise price of both the Option and the SAR will be the same, and the exercise of the corresponding tandem SAR or Option will cancel with corresponding tandem SAR or Option with respect to such share. If a SAR is granted in tandem with an Option, but is granted after the grant of an Option, or if an Option is in tandem with a SAR but is granted after the grant of a SAR, the later granted tandem Award will have the same exercise price as the earlier granted Award, but in no event less than the fair market value of a share of common stock at the time of such grant.

The expiration date with respect to an Option or SAR will be established by the Committee at the time of the grant, but will not be later than the earliest to occur of theten-year anniversary of the date on which the Option or SAR is granted or the following dates (unless otherwise determined otherwise by the Committee): (a) if the Participant’s termination occurs by reason of death, disability or retirement, the first anniversary of the termination date, (b) if the Participant’s termination occurs for reasons other than retirement, death, disability or cause, the three month anniversary of the termination date, and (c) if the Participant’s termination occurs for reasons of cause, on the day preceding the Participant’s termination date.

Options and SARs may be subject to such other terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the 2020 LTIP, as determined by the Committee.

Full Value Awards

A “Full Value Award” is a grant of one or more shares of common stock or a right to receive one or more shares of common stock in the future (including restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, performance stock and performance stock units and awards with respect to partnership interests which are convertible into, exchangeable for or redeemable in shares of common stock). Such grants may be in consideration of a Participant’s previously performed services or surrender of other compensation that may be due, contingent on the achievement of performance or other objectives (including completion of service) during a specified period, subject to a risk of forfeiture or other restrictions that will lapse upon the achievement of one or more goals relating to completion of service by the Participant or

Equity Compensation Plans

achievement of performance or other objectives, and/or may be granted for other purposes and shall be subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies, as determined by the Committee, including provisions relating to dividend or dividend equivalent rights and deferred payment or settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no dividends or dividend equivalent rights will be paid or settled on performance-based awards that have not been earned based on the performance criteria established.

Grants of Full Value Awards may be made under other arrangements or plans that are treated as subplans of the 2020 LTIP (including, but not limited to, the Prologis, Inc. Promote Plan and the Prologis, Inc. 2016 Outperformance Plan both as amended and/or restated from time to time) and, in such case, Awards under such subplans shall be treated as the grant of an Award under the 2020 LTIP.

Restrictions on Shares; Misconduct

The Committee, in its discretion, may impose such restrictions on shares of common stock acquired pursuant to the 2020 LTIP, whether pursuant to the exercise of an Option or SAR, settlement of a Full Value Award or otherwise, as it determines to be desirable, including, without limitation, restrictions relating to disposition of the shares and forfeiture restrictions based on service, performance, common stock ownership by the Participant, conformity with the Company’s recoupment, compensation recovery, or clawback policies and such other factors as the Committee determines to be appropriate. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless otherwise specified by the Committee, any awards under the Plan and any shares of common stock issued pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to the Company’s compensation recovery, clawback, and recoupment policies as in effect from time to time.

If the Committee determines that a present or former employee or Outside Director has used for profit or disclosed to unauthorized persons, confidential or trade secrets of us or any of our affiliates, breached any contract with or violated any fiduciary obligation to us or any of our affiliates, or engaged in any conduct which the Committee determines is injurious to us or any of our affiliates the Committee may cause that person to forfeit his or her outstanding Awards under the 2020 LTIP. In addition, in exercise of its powers and authorities under the 2020 LTIP, it is the Committee’s policy to determine that a Participant is in good standing at the time of his or her termination; if a Participant is not in good standing, the Committee (or its delegate) may cause the Participant’s awards, whether vested or unvested, to be forfeited.

Transferability

Awards under the 2020 LTIP are not transferable except as designated by the Participant by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or, unless otherwise provided by the Committee, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order (within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable rules thereunder). To the extent that the Participant who receives an Award under the 2020 LTIP has the right to exercise such Award, the Award may be exercised during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant. Awards, however, may be transferred to or for the benefit of the Participant’s family (including, without limitation, to a trust or partnership for the benefit of a Participant’s family) or to a charity selected by the Participant, subject to such procedures as the Committee may establish. In no event shall an ISO be transferable to the extent that such transferability would violate the requirements applicable to such Option under section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Withholding

We have the right to deduct from any and all payments made under the 2020 LTIP or to require the Participant, through payroll withholding, cash payment, or otherwise, to make adequate provision for, the U.S. federal, state, and local, and/or foreign taxes (including any social insurance tax or contribution obligations) (“Taxes”), if any, required by law to be withheld by us or an affiliate with respect to an Award or the shares or cash acquired pursuant thereto or such other amount that we or an affiliate determine that is not prohibited by law but in no event more than the maximum Taxes.

Prologis Proxy Statement  |  March 20, 2020

Equity Compensation Plans

Foreign Participants

The Committee may grant Awards to eligible persons who are foreign nationals or residents of a foreign jurisdiction on such terms and conditions different from those specified in the 2020 LTIP Plan as may, in the judgment of the Committee, be necessary or desirable to foster and promote achievement of the purposes of the 2020 LTIP Plan. In furtherance of such purposes, the Committee may make such modifications, amendments, procedures and subplans as may be necessary or advisable to facilitate or comply with provisions of laws in other countries or jurisdictions in which we or an affiliate operates or has employees.

Amendment or Termination

The Board may, at any time, amend or terminate the 2020 LTIP, and the Board or the Committee may amend any award agreement thereunder, provided that no amendment or termination may, in the absence of written consent to the change by the affected Participant (or, if the Participant is not then living, the affected beneficiary), adversely affect the rights of any Participant or beneficiary under any Award granted under the 2020 LTIP prior to the date such amendment is adopted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no revision of the 2020 LTIP will be made without stockholder approval, if such stockholder approval would be required for such revision under the rules of the NYSE or stockholder approval is otherwise required by applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule, and (ii) except in connection with adjustments made on account of corporate events (as described above), changes to the prohibitions on repricing of Options and SARs shall be subject to the approval of our stockholders. Adjustments in connection with corporate events and amendments required to comply with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A are not subject to the prohibition on amendments without Participant consent.

Change in Control

In the event that (a) a Participant is employed on the date of a Change in Control and the Participant’s employment or service, as applicable, is terminated by us or the successor to us (or an affiliate which is his or her employer) for reasons other than cause (as defined in the 2020 LTIP) within 24 months following the Change in Control, or (b) the 2020 LTIP is terminated by us or our successor following a Change in Control without provision for the continuation of outstanding Awards hereunder, all Options, SARs and related Awards which have not otherwise expired shall become immediately exercisable and all other Awards shall become fully vested. If, upon a Change in Control, awards in other shares or securities are substituted for outstanding Awards, and immediately following the Change in Control the Participant becomes employed by (if the Participant was an employee immediately prior to the Change in Control) or a Board member of (if the Participant was an Outside Director immediately prior to the Change in Control) the entity into which we are merged, or the purchaser of substantially all of the our assets, or a successor to such entity or purchaser, the Participant shall not be treated as having terminated employment or service for purposes of these provisions until such time as the Participant terminates employment or service with the merged entity or purchaser (or successor), as applicable.

Performance-Based Compensation

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code imposes a $1 million limit on the amount that a publicly-traded corporation may deduct for compensation paid to the principal executive officer, the principal financial officer or one of the company’s other three most highly compensated executives. Prior to 2020, “Performance-Based Compensation,” as defined under Internal Revenue Service rules and regulations, was excluded from this $1 million limitation. The Tax Reform and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Act”) eliminated the ability of companies to rely on the “Performance-Based“ Compensation exception and the $1 million limitation on deductibility generally was expanded to include all named executive officers (including the principal financial officer). We do believe, however, that certain Awards granted under the 2020 LTIP prior to the changes made by the Act will continue to qualify for the Performance-Based Compensation exception, subject in all cases to the Committee’s ability to modify Awards.

Tax Effects

The following is a brief summary of the U.S. federal income tax rules relevant to Awards under the 2020 LTIP, based upon the Internal Revenue Code as currently in effect. These rules are highly technical and subject to change in the future, and the discussion does not purport to be a complete description of the tax aspects of the 2020 LTIP. Moreover, the following summary relates only to U.S. federal income tax treatment, and the state, local and foreign tax consequences may be substantially different.

ISOs

Generally, the grant of an ISO will not result in taxable income to the Participant or a deduction for us. The exercise of an ISO will not result in taxable income to the Participant or a deduction for us provided that the Participant was, without a break in service, an employee of us and its eligible corporate subsidiaries during the period beginning on the date of the grant of the ISO and ending on the date three months prior to the date of exercise (one year prior to the date of exercise if the Participant is disabled, as that term is defined in the Internal Revenue Code).

The excess of the fair market value of the shares of common stock at the time of the exercise of an ISO over the exercise price is an adjustment that is included in the calculation of the Participant’s alternative minimum taxable income for the tax year in which the ISO is exercised. For purposes of determining the Participant’s alternative minimum tax liability for the year of disposition of the shares of common stock acquired pursuant to the ISO exercise, the Participant will have a basis in those shares of common stock equal to the fair market value of the shares of common stock at the time of exercise.

If the Participant does not sell or otherwise dispose of the shares of common stock within two years from the date of the grant of the ISO or within one year after receiving the transfer of such shares of common stock, then, upon disposition of such shares of common stock, any amount realized in excess of the exercise price will be taxed to the Participant as capital gain, and us will not be entitled to any deduction for Federal income tax purposes. The Participant will recognize a capital loss to the extent that the amount realized is less than the exercise price.

If the foregoing holding period requirements are not met, the Participant will generally realize ordinary income, and a corresponding deduction will be allowed to us, at the time of the disposition of the shares of common stock, in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the excess of the fair market value of the shares of common stock on the date of exercise over the exercise price, or (b) the excess, if any, of the amount realized upon disposition of the shares of common stock over the exercise price. If the amount realized exceeds the value of the shares of common stock on the date of exercise, any additional amount will be capital gain. If the amount realized is less than the exercise price, the Participant will recognize no income, and a capital loss will be recognized equal to the excess of the exercise price over the amount realized upon the disposition of the shares of common stock.

The exercise of an ISO through the exchange of previously acquired stock will generally be treated in the same manner as such an exchange would be treated in connection with the exercise of an NQO; that is, as anon-taxable, like-kind exchange as to the number of shares of common stock given up and the identical number of shares of common stock received under the Option. That number of shares of common stock will take the same basis and, for capital gain purposes, the same holding period as the shares of common stock that are given up. However, such holding period will not be credited for purposes of theone-year holding period required for the new shares of common stock to receive ISO treatment. common stock received in excess of the number of shares of common stock given up will have a new holding period and will have a basis of zero or, if any cash was paid as part of the exercise price, the excess shares of common stock received will have a basis equal to the amount of the cash. If a disqualifying disposition (a disposition before the end of the applicable holding period) occurs with respect to any of the shares of common stock received from the exchange, it will be treated as a disqualifying disposition of the shares of common stock with the lowest basis.

Prologis Proxy Statement  |  March 20, 2020

125


Equity Compensation Plans

If the exercise price of an ISO is paid with shares of common stock acquired through a prior exercise of an ISO, gain will be realized on the shares of common stock given up (and will be taxed as ordinary income) if those shares of common stock have not been held for the minimum ISO holding period (two years from the date of grant and one year from the date of transfer), but the exchange will not affect the tax treatment, as described in the immediately preceding paragraph, of the shares of common stock received.

NQOs

Generally, the grant of an NQO will not result in taxable income to the Participant or a deduction for us. Except as described below, the Participant will realize ordinary income at the time of exercise in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares of common stock acquired over the exercise price for those shares of common stock, and we will be entitled to a corresponding deduction. Gains or losses realized by the Participant upon disposition of such shares of common stock will be treated as capital gains and losses, with the basis in such shares of common stock equal to the fair market value of the shares of common stock at the time of exercise.

The exercise of an NQO through the delivery of previously acquired common stock will generally be treated as anon-taxable, like-kind exchange as to the number of shares of common stock surrendered and the identical number of shares of common stock received under the Option. That number of shares of common stock will take the same basis and, for capital gains purposes, the same holding period as the shares of common stock that are given up. The value of the shares of common stock received upon such an exchange that are in excess of the number given up will be includible as ordinary income to the Participant at the time of the exercise. The excess shares of common stock will have a new holding period for capital gain purposes and a basis equal to the value of such shares of common stock determined at the time of exercise.

SARs

Generally, a Participant will not realize any taxable income upon the grant of a SAR and we will not be entitled to a deduction. Upon the exercise of the SAR, the Participant will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the amount of cash and/or the fair market value, at the date of such exercise, of the shares of common stock received by the Participant as a result of such exercise. We will generally be entitled to a deduction in the same amount as the ordinary income realized by the Participant.

Full Value Awards

The federal income tax consequences of a Full Value Award will depend on the type of award. The tax treatment of the grant of shares of common stock depends on whether the shares are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture (determined under Internal Revenue Code rules) at the time of the grant. If the shares are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, the Participant will not recognize taxable income at the time of the grant and when the restrictions on the shares lapse (that is, when the shares are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture), the Participant will recognize ordinary taxable income in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares at that time and we will be entitled to a corresponding deduction. If the shares are not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture or if the Participant elects to be taxed at the time of the grant of such shares under Internal Revenue Code Section 83(b), the Participant will recognize taxable income at the time of the grant of shares in an amount equal to the fair market value of such shares at that time, determined without regard to any of the restrictions and we will be entitled to a corresponding deduction. If the shares are forfeited before the restrictions lapse, the Participant will be entitled to no deduction on account thereof. The Participant’s tax basis in the shares is the amount recognized by him or her as income attributable to such shares. Gain or loss recognized by the Participant on a subsequent disposition of any such shares is capital gain or loss if the shares are otherwise capital assets.

126


Equity Compensation Plans

In the case of other Full Value Awards, such as restricted stock units or performance stock units, the Participant generally will not have taxable income and we will not be entitled to a deduction upon the grant of the award. Participants will generally recognize ordinary income and we will be entitled to a corresponding deduction when the award is settled. At that time, the Participant will recognize taxable income equal to the cash or the then fair market value of the shares issuable in payment of such award, and such amount will be the tax basis for any shares received.

Internal Revenue Code Section 409A

Certain awards under the 2020 LTIP may be considered a deferral of compensation for purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, which imposes additional requirements on a nonqualified deferred compensation plan. Generally, if a nonqualified deferred compensation plan fails to meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, or is not operated in accordance with those requirements, all amounts deferred under the nonqualified deferred compensation plan for the taxable year and all preceding taxable years, by or for any Participant with respect to whom the failure relates, are includible in the gross income of the Participant for the taxable year to the extent not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture and not previously included in gross income. If a deferred compensation amount is required to be included in income under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, the amount may be subject to interest (at a penalty rate) and is subject to an excise tax, in addition to regular income tax. The interest imposed is equal to the interest at the underpayment rate plus one percentage point, imposed on the underpayments that would have occurred had the compensation been includible in income for the taxable year when first deferred, or if later, when not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. The excise tax is equal to 20% of the compensation required to be included in gross income.

Awards under the 2020 LTIP that are subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. We intend to grant awards that are either exempt from or in compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. However, we can provide no assurance that such an award will be exempt or comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code or that the tax consequences described above will not apply.

New Plan Benefits

Because benefits under the 2020 LTIP will depend on future action and fair market value of the common stock at various future dates, it is not possible to determine at this time all of the benefits that might be received by employees, directors and others if the 2020 LTIP is approved by stockholders.

Registration of Common Stock issued under the 2020 LTIP

If the 2020 LTIP is approved, by stockholders, shares of common stock covered by the 2020 LTIP will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Such registration will, in most cases, permit the unrestricted resale in the public market of shares issued pursuant to the 2020 LTIP.

Approval of an Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to Increase the Number of Authorized Shares of Common Stock (Proposal 4)

The Board has approved, subject to stockholder approval, an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation that would increase the number of authorized shares of common stock by 1,000,000,000 shares bringing the total authorized shares of common stock to 2,000,000,000 shares.

Article IV of our Articles of Incorporation sets the total number of shares of common stock that we have the authority to issue at 1,000,000,000. As of [                    , 2020], there were approximately [            ] shares of common stock outstanding.

In addition, as of [                    ], 2020 there were [            ] million shares reserved for issuance under our equity plans (including shares subject to outstanding awards of [            ] million shares) and [            ] million shares reserved for issuance upon conversion of operating partnership units and limited partnership units. The total shares of common stock outstanding and reserved for issuance as of [                    ], 2020 was [            ] million.

The Board believes that it is important to have a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares available to provide flexibility to act quickly to take advantage of favorable market conditions and opportunities for strategic transactions. For example, in August 2018, we issued approximately 96.2 million shares of common stock in connection with our merger transaction with DCT Industrial Trust. In February 2020, we issued approximately 107.0 million shares of common stock in connection with our merger transaction with Liberty Property Trust.

The amendment to the Articles of Incorporation, if approved and adopted by the stockholders, will substitute the following paragraph for the first paragraph of Article IV:

“The total number of shares of all classes of stock that the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 2,100,000,000, consisting of 2,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “common stock”), and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), which may be issued in one or more classes as described in Paragraph C of this Article IV. The aggregate par value of all of the Corporation’s authorized shares having par value is $21,000,000. The common stock and each class of the Preferred Stock shall each constitute a separate class of stock of the Corporation.”

You may vote for, vote against, or abstain from voting on approving and adopting the amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of common stock that we have the authority to issue. Assuming a quorum is present, the affirmative vote in person or by proxy oftwo-thirds of the outstanding shares of common stock is required to approve and adopt the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation. Abstentions and brokernon-votes are considered voting power present in person or by proxy and thus will have the same effect as votes “Against” the proposal.

[If shareholders do not approve the increase it might preclude or delay the company from pursuing future strategic acquisitions that are essential to the company’s future growth and success.]

LOGO

The Board unanimously recommends that the stockholders vote "FOR" the approval of the amendment to our articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock.

Audit Committee Report

The purpose of the Audit Committee is to be an informed, vigilant and effective overseer of our financial accounting and reporting processes consistent with risk mitigation appropriate in the circumstances. The committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of our independent registered public accounting firm. The committee is comprised of the five directors named below. Each member of the committee is independent as defined by SEC and NYSE rules. In addition, the Board has determined that each member of the Audit Committee is an audit committee financial expert and is financially literate in accordance with applicable NYSE and SEC rules. Management is responsible for the company’s internal controls and the financial reporting process. The company’s independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an independent audit of the company’s consolidated financial statements and the effectiveness of the company’s internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), and issuing reports thereon. The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the conduct of these activities. The committee’s function is more fully described in its charter which has been approved by the Board. The charter can be viewed, together with any future changes, on our website at http://ir.prologis.com/governance.

We have reviewed and discussed the company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and unaudited financial statements for the quarterly periods ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2019 with management and KPMG LLP, the company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

The committee has discussed with KPMG LLP the matters that are required to be discussed by Auditing Standard No. 1301, Communication With Audit Committees, issued by the PCAOB. KPMG LLP has provided to the company the written disclosures and the letter required by applicable PCAOB requirements regarding their communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and the Audit Committee has discussed with KPMG LLP its independence. The committee also concluded that KPMG LLP’s performance ofnon-audit services to us and our affiliates, aspre-approved by the committee and described in the next section, does not impair KPMG LLP’s independence.

RatificationRepresents less than 0.1% of the Appointment of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (Proposal 5)

The Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of our independent registered public accounting firm retained to audit our financial statements. The Audit Committee has appointed KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year 2020. KPMG LLP has been our external auditors since 2002. The Audit Committee is responsible for the audit fee negotiations associated with the company’s retention of KPMG LLP. In order to ensure continuing auditor independence, the Audit Committee periodically considers whether there should be a regular rotation of the independent registered public accounting firm. In conjunction with the mandated rotation of KPMG LLP’s lead engagement partner, the Audit Committee and its chairperson are directly involved in the selection of KPMG LLP’s new lead engagement partner. The Audit Committee and the Board believe that the continued retention of KPMG LLP to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm is in the best interest of the company and our stockholders.

We are asking our stockholders to ratify the selection of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year 2020. In the event our stockholders do not approve the appointment, the appointment will be reconsidered by the Audit Committee.

KPMG LLP representatives are expected to attend the 2020 annual meeting. They will have an opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate stockholder questions.

You may vote for, vote against, or abstain from voting on ratifying the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year 2020. Assuming a quorum is present, to be approved by the stockholders, the proposal must receive the affirmative vote of a majority of theoutstanding shares of common stock having voting power presentand limited partnership units, as applicable.

Proxy and Annual Meeting FAQ

Proxy materials

We are required under SEC regulations to provide you with a proxy statement when we ask you to sign a proxy designating individuals to vote on your behalf. A proxy is a legal designation of another person to vote the stock you own, which person is also referred to as your “proxy.” This designation may be done in a written document that is called a “proxy” or “proxy card.”

The proxy materials consist of our 2020 Proxy Statement and our 2019 Annual Report to Stockholders, which includes our 2019 Annual Report on Form10-K.

Your vote is very important. For this reason, our Board is requesting that you permit your common stock to be represented and voted at the annual meeting by the proxies named on the proxy card.

Notice of Internet Availability

We have implemented the Notice and Access Rule enacted by the SEC for distribution of materials for our annual meeting. Accordingly, we are sending a Notice of Internet Availability to many of our stockholders of record and our beneficial owners. All stockholders will be able to access the proxy materials. We believe that the electronic availability of materials is an appropriate proxy communication solution that will allow us to provide our stockholders with the materials they need, while lowering the cost of delivery and reducing the environmental impact of our annual meetings. Stockholders may request to receive printed copies of the proxy materials.

Distribution of proxy materials

On or about March 20, 2020, the Notice of Annual Meeting and Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (“Notice of Internet Availability”) will be distributed to many of our stockholders, either in printed form by mail or electronically by email, in lieu of mailing the printed proxy materials. The Notice of Internet Availability instructs stockholders as to how they may: (i) access and review all of the proxy materials through the Internet; (ii) submit their proxy; and (iii) receive printed proxy materials. Also on or about March 20, 2020, printed proxy materials, including our 2020 Proxy Statement and our Annual Report on Form10-K for 2019, will be mailed to all other stockholders, as requested or required. On the mailing date, all stockholders and beneficial owners will have the ability to access all of the proxy materials on the Internet at www.proxyvote.com or http://ir.prologis.com/annuals.cfm.

Stockholders may request to receive proxy materials electronically by email on an ongoing basis by selecting the link “Consent for Electronic Delivery” at http://ir.prologis.com/annual-reports. You can also sign up for electronic delivery of proxy materials by following the instructions on the proxy card and Notice of Internet Availability with respect to how to vote using the Internet and, when prompted, indicate that you agree to receive or access proxy materials electronically in future years. If you register to receive future proxy materials electronically by email, you will receive an email next year with instructions on how to access those proxy materials and how to vote. If you change your email address, you will need to update your registration. Your election on how to receive proxy materials will remain in effect until you terminate it.

Stockholders will receive printed copies of the proxy materials if they have elected this form of delivery or they are participants in our 401(k) Plan. Printed copies of the proxy materials will be provided upon request at no charge by submitting a written notice to Investor Relations,is: c/o Prologis, Inc., Pier 1, Bay 1, San Francisco, California 94111.

The Audit Committee engaged KPMG LLP as our independent public accountant for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020. KPMG LLP was also retained to provide certain audit-related and tax services in 2021 and 2020.

In the course of the provision of services on our behalf, we recognize the importance of our independent public accountant’s ability to maintain objectivity and independence in its audit of our financial statements and the importance of minimizing any relationships that could appear to impair that objectivity. To that end, the Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures governing the pre-approval of audit and non-audit work performed by our independent public accountant. The independent public accountant is authorized to perform specified pre-approved services up to certain annual amounts and up to specified amounts for specific services. Such limits vary by the type of service provided. Individual engagements anticipated to exceed pre-established thresholds must be separately approved. All of the fees reflected below for 2021 and 2020 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

The following table represents fees for professional audit services rendered for the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020 and fees billed for other services rendered in each year.

AUDIT MATTERS

PROPOSAL 3

Ratification of the Appointment of the Independent Public Accountant

The Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of our independent public accountants retained to audit our financial statements. The Audit Committee has appointed KPMG LLP as our independent public accountant for the year 2022. KPMG LLP has served in this role since 2002. The Audit Committee is responsible for the audit fee negotiations associated with the company’s retention of KPMG LLP. In order to ensure continuing auditor independence, the Audit Committee periodically considers whether there should be a regular rotation of the independent public accountant. In conjunction with the mandated rotation of KPMG LLP’s lead engagement partner, the Audit Committee and its chairperson are directly involved in the selection of KPMG LLP’s new lead engagement partner. The Audit Committee and the Board believe that the continued retention of KPMG LLP to serve as our independent public accountant is in the best interest of the company and our stockholders.

We are asking our stockholders to ratify the selection of KPMG LLP as our independent public accountant for the year 2022. In the event our stockholders do not approve the appointment, the appointment will be reconsidered by the Audit Committee.

KPMG LLP representatives are expected to attend the 2022 annual meeting. They will have an opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate stockholder questions.

You may vote for, vote against or abstain from voting on ratifying the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent public accountant for the year 2022. Assuming a quorum is present, to be approved by the stockholders, the number of votes cast “For” the proposal must exceed the number of such votes cast “Against” the proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal.

The Board unanimously recommends that the stockholders vote FOR the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent public accountant for the year 2022.

PROLOGIS PROXY STATEMENT  |  MARCH 25, 2022

Most of our stockholders hold their shares in street name through a broker, bank, trustee or other nominee rather than directly in their own name. In this case, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in street name, and a Notice of Internet Availability or printed proxy materials are being forwarded to you together with a voting instruction card. As the beneficial owner, you are also invited to attend the annual meeting. However, because a beneficial owner is not the stockholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the annual meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from the broker, bank, trustee or nominee that holds your shares, which will give you the right to vote the shares at the annual meeting. You will need to contact your broker, bank, trustee or nominee to obtain a legal proxy. You will need to bring that legal proxy to the annual meeting in order to vote in person.

Proxy and Annual Meeting FAQ

Proxy materials

We are required under SEC regulations to provide you with a proxy statement when we ask you to sign a proxy designating individuals to vote on your behalf. A proxy is a legal designation of another person to vote the stock you own, which person is also referred to as your “proxy.” This designation may be done in a written document that is called a “proxy” or “proxy card.”

The proxy materials consist of our 2022 Proxy Statement and our 2021 Annual Report to Stockholders, which includes our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Your vote is very important. For this reason, our Board is requesting that you permit your common stock to be represented and voted at the annual meeting by the proxies named on the proxy card.

Notice of Internet Availability

We have implemented the Notice and Access Rule enacted by the SEC for distribution of materials for our annual meeting. Accordingly, we are sending a Notice of Internet Availability to many of our stockholders of record and our beneficial owners. All stockholders will be able to access the proxy materials. We believe that the electronic availability of materials is an appropriate proxy communication solution that will allow us to provide our stockholders with the materials they need, while lowering the cost of delivery and reducing the environmental impact of our annual meetings. Stockholders may request to receive printed copies of the proxy materials.

Distribution of proxy materials

On or about March 25, 2022, the Notice of Annual Meeting and Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (“Notice of Internet Availability”) will be distributed to many of our stockholders, either in printed form by mail or electronically by email, in lieu of mailing the printed proxy materials. The Notice of Internet Availability instructs stockholders as to how they may: (i) access and review all of the proxy materials through the Internet; (ii) submit their proxy; and (iii) receive printed proxy materials. Also on or about March 25, 2022, printed proxy materials, including our 2022 Proxy Statement and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2021, will be mailed to all other stockholders, as requested or required. On the mailing date, all stockholders and beneficial owners will have the ability to access all of the proxy materials on the Internet at www.proxyvote.com or on our website at http://ir.prologis.com/annuals.cfm. Information contained on our website is not incorporated by reference into this proxy statement or any other report we file with the SEC.

Stockholders may request to receive proxy materials electronically by email on an ongoing basis by visiting our website and selecting the link “Consent for Electronic Delivery.” You can also sign up for electronic delivery of proxy materials by following the instructions on the proxy card and Notice of Internet Availability with respect to how to vote using the Internet and, when prompted, indicate that you agree to receive or access proxy materials electronically in future years. If you register to receive future proxy materials electronically by email, you will receive an email next year with instructions on how to access those proxy materials and how to vote. If you change your email address, you will need to update your registration. Your election on how to receive proxy materials will remain in effect until you terminate it.

Stockholders will receive printed copies of the proxy materials if they have elected this form of delivery or they are participants in our 401(k) Plan. Printed copies of the proxy materials will be provided upon request at no charge by submitting a written notice to Investor Relations, Prologis, Inc., Pier 1, Bay 1, San Francisco, California 94111.

Even if you plan to attend the virtual annual meeting, we recommend that you authorize your proxy to vote your shares in advance so that your vote will be counted should you later decide not to attend the annual meeting.

Most of our stockholders hold their shares in street name through a broker, bank, trustee or other nominee rather than directly in their own name. In this case, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in street name, and a Notice of Internet Availability or printed proxy materials are being forwarded to you together with a voting instruction card by your broker, bank, trustee or nominee. As the beneficial owner, you are also invited to attend the virtual annual meeting.

In most cases, you will be able to do this by telephone, through the Internet or by mail. If you are a stockholder of record, please refer to the summary instructions on the proxy card included with your proxy materials or the instructions on how to vote contained in the Notice of Internet Availability. If you hold your shares in street name, the voting instructions will be communicated to you by your broker, bank, trustee or nominee.

If you vote by telephone or through the Internet, you do not have to return a proxy card or voting instruction card.

The telephone and Internet proxy voting procedures are designed to authenticate stockholders by use of a control number and to allow stockholders to confirm that their instructions have been properly recorded. The method by which you vote will in no way limit your right to vote at the annual meeting if you later decide to attend the annual meeting in person.virtually.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Quorum requirement

There is no right to cumulative voting. A quorum is met if a majority of the shares of common stock outstanding as of the record date are represented, in person or by proxy, at the virtual annual meeting. Your shares are counted as present at the virtual meeting if you are present and entitled to vote in person at the meeting, if you have properly submitted a proxy card, or if you authorize your proxy to vote your shares by telephone or through the Internet.

If you are present at the virtual annual meeting in person or by proxy, but you abstain from voting on any or all proposals, your shares are still counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum.

Brokernon-votes are also counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. A brokernon-vote occurs when a nominee holding shares of our common stock for a beneficial owner is present at the virtual meeting, in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote, but does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that item and has not received instructions on how to vote with respect to that item from the beneficial owner.

Majority voting

Our bylaws provide that the vote required for election of directors is a “majority vote of the votes cast” in uncontested elections of directors. Accordingly, directors are required to be elected by the majority of votes cast by the shares present in person or represented by proxy with respect to such director in uncontested elections. A majority of the votes cast means that the number of shares voted “For” a director nominee by the holders of shares of common stock entitled to vote on the election of directors and represented in person or by proxy at the annual meeting must exceed the number of such shares voted “Against” the director nominee. Abstentions and brokernon-votes, if any, will have no effect on the outcome of the proposal.

In a contested election (where a determination is made that the number of director nominees is expected to exceed the number of directors to be elected at a meeting), the vote standard will be a plurality of the votes cast with respect to such director. In the event of a contested election where the plurality vote standard applies, stockholders shall be permitted to vote only “for” a director nominee or to designate their vote be “withheld” from such nominee.

If a nominee who is serving as a director is not elected by a majority vote at the annual meeting, then, under Maryland law, such director would continue to serve as a “holdover director.” Under our bylaws, any director who fails to be elected by a majority vote shall tender his or her resignation to the Board, subject to acceptance by the Board. The Governance Committee will make a recommendation to the Board on whether to accept or reject the resignation, or whether other action should be taken. The Board will then act on the Governance Committee’s recommendation and publicly disclose its decision and the rationale behind it within 90 days from the date of the certification of election results. If the resignation is not accepted, the director will continue to serve until the next annual meeting and until the director’s successor is duly elected and qualified. The director who tenders his or her resignation will not participate in the Board’s decision.Non-incumbent directors who are not elected at the annual meeting would not become directors and would not serve on the Board as a “holdover director.”

Please refer to our annual and quarterly financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission onForms 10-K and10-Q and other public reports for further information about us and our business.

Annualized TSR is calculated based on the stock price appreciation and dividends paid to show a total return to a stockholder over a period of time. This calculation assumes dividends are reinvested into the stock on the day the dividend is paid. We annualize TSR by converting the total return of the stock at the end of a prescribed time period to an annualized basis.

Asset Management Feesrepresents the third-party share of asset management and transactional fees from both consolidated and unconsolidatedco-investment ventures.

Assets Under Management (“AUM”) represents the estimated fair value of the real estate we own or manage through both our consolidated and unconsolidated entities. We calculate AUM by adding Investment Capacity and the third-party investors’ share of the estimated fair value of the assets in theco-investment ventures to our share of total market capitalization (calculated as market equity plus our share of total debt).

BREEAM, also referred to as Building Research Establishment’s Environmental Assessment Method, is a certification process to assess building sustainability.

In March 2015, the exchangeable debt was settled primarily through the issuance of common stock. The adjustment in 2015 assumes the exchange occurred on January 1, 2015.

See definition of Core FFO below in “Funds from Operations attributable to common stockholders and unitholders.”

Compound Annual Growth Rate,also referred to as CAGR, is used to determine the annual growth rate over a specified period of time longer than one year. The compound annual growth is calculated by dividing the ending value by the beginning value and multiplying the result to the power of one divided by the number of years in the calculation and then subtracting one from the result. We determined the five-yearseven-year compound annual growth rate of our Core FFO per share at December 31, 2019,2021, to be 12.0%12.3% by dividing the 20192021 diluted Core FFO per share of $3.31$4.15 by 2014 diluted Core FFO per share of $1.88,$1.85, then multiplying the result to theone-fifthone-seventh power and then subtracting one from the result.

TheDow Jones Sustainability Indices (“DJSI”)are global sustainability indices offered cooperatively by RobecoSAM and S&P Dow Jones Indices, tracking the stock performance of companies in terms of economic, environmental and social criteria.

Energy Performance Certificate (“EPC”) scores and rates buildings for energy efficiency within the European Union.

Estimated Value Creationrepresents the value that we expect to create through our development and leasing activities. We calculate Estimated Value Creation by estimating the Stabilized NOI that the property will generate and applying a stabilized capitalization rate applicable to that property. Estimated Value Creation is calculated as the amount by which the value exceeds our TEI and does not include any fees or promotes we may earn. Estimated Value Creation for our value-added properties that are sold includes the realized economic gain.

Estimated Weighted Average Margin is calculated on developed properties as the Value Creation less estimated closing costs and taxes, if any, on properties expected to be sold or contributed, divided by the TEI.

Fee Related Earnings (“FRE”) is a non-GAAP financial measure and component of NAV. It is used to assess the performance of our strategic capital business and enables management and investors to estimate the corresponding fair value. FRE is calculated as the third-party share of asset management fees and transactional fees from our consolidated and unconsolidated co-investment ventures, net of direct and allocated related expenses. As non-GAAP financial measures, FRE has certain limitations as an analytical tool and may vary among real estate and asset management companies.

Funds from Operations attributable to common stockholders and unitholders (“FFO”). FFO is anon-GAAP financial measure that is commonly used in the real estate industry. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to FFO is net earnings.

APPENDIX A: DEFINITIONS AND RECONCILIATIONS OF GAAP AND NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT” or “Nareit”) defines FFO as earnings computed under GAAP to exclude historical cost depreciation and gains and losses from the sales, along with impairment charges, of previously depreciated properties. We also exclude the gains on revaluation of equity investments upon acquisition of a controlling interest and the gain recognized from a partial sale of our investment, as these are similar to gains from the

Prologis Proxy Statement  |  March 20, 2020

A-3


Appendix A: Definitions and Reconciliations of GAAP andNon-GAAP Financial Measures

sales of previously depreciated properties. We exclude similar adjustments from our unconsolidated entities and the third parties’ share of our consolidatedco-investment ventures.

Our FFO Measures. Our FFO measures begin with NAREIT’s definition and we make certain adjustments to reflect our business and the way that management plans and executes our business strategy. While not infrequent or unusual, the additional items we adjust for in calculatingFFO, as modified by Prologis,andCore FFO, both as defined below, are subject to significant fluctuations from period to period. Although these items may have a material impact on our operations and are reflected in our financial statements, the removal of the effects of these items allows us to better understand the core operating performance of our properties over the long term. These items have both positive and negative short-term effects on our results of operations in inconsistent and unpredictable directions that are not relevant to our long-term outlook.

We calculate our FFO measures, as defined below, based on our proportionate ownership share of both our unconsolidated and consolidated ventures. We reflect our share of our FFO measures for unconsolidated ventures by applying our average ownership percentage for the period to the applicable reconciling items on anentity-by-entity basis. We reflect our share for consolidated ventures in which we do not own 100% of the equity by adjusting our FFO measures to remove the noncontrolling interests’interests share of the applicable reconciling items based on our average ownership percentage for the applicable periods.

These FFO measures are used by management as supplemental financial measures of operating performance and we believe that it is important that stockholders, potential investors and financial analysts understand the measures management uses. We do not use our FFO measures as, nor should they be considered to be, alternatives to net earnings computed under GAAP, as indicators of our operating performance, as alternatives to cash from operating activities computed under GAAP or as indicators of our ability to fund our cash needs.

We analyze our operating performance primarilyprincipally by the rental revenues of our real estate and the revenues from our strategic capital business, net of operating, administrative and financing expenses. This income stream is not directly impacted by fluctuations in the market value of our investments in real estate or debt securities.

FFO, as modified by Prologis attributable, to common stockholders and unitholders (“FFO, as modified by Prologis”).

To arrive at FFO, as modified by Prologis, we adjust the NAREIT-defined FFO measure to exclude the impact of foreign currency-related items and deferred tax, specifically:

 

· 

deferred income tax benefits and deferred income tax expenses recognized by our subsidiaries;

 

· 

current income tax expense related to acquired tax liabilities that were recorded as deferred tax liabilities in an acquisition, to the extent the expense is offset with a deferred income tax benefit in earnings that is excluded from our defined FFO measure;

 

· 

foreign currency exchange gains and losses resulting from (a) debt transactions between us and our foreign entities, (b) third-party debt that is used to hedge our investment in foreign entities, (c) derivative financial instruments related to any such debt transactions and(d) mark-to-market adjustments associated with other derivative financial instruments.

We use FFO, as modified by Prologis, so that management, analysts and investors are able to evaluate our performance against other REITs that do not have similar operations or operations in jurisdictions outside the U.S.

Core FFO attributable to common stockholders and unitholders (“Core FFO”). In addition to FFO, as modified by Prologis,we also useCore FFO. To arrive atCore FFO,we adjustFFO, as modified by Prologis, to exclude the following recurring and nonrecurring items that we recognized directly inFFO, as modified by Prologis:

 

· 

gains or losses from the disposition of land and development properties that were developed with the intent to contribute or sell;

 

· 

income tax expense related to the sale of investments in real estate and third-party acquisition costs related to the acquisition of real estate;

 

Prologis Proxy Statement  |  March 20, 2020

 

A-4


Appendix A: Definitions and Reconciliations of GAAP andNon-GAAP Financial Measures

· 

impairment charges recognized related to our investments in real estate generally as a result of our change in intent to contribute or sell these properties;

 

· 

gains or losses from the early extinguishment of debt and redemption and repurchase of preferred stock; and

 

· 

expenses related to natural disasters.

We use Core FFO, including by segment and region, to: (i) assess our operating performance as compared to other real estate companies; (ii) evaluate our performance and the performance of our properties in comparison with expected results and results of previous periods; (iii) evaluate the performance of our management; (iv) budget and forecast future results to assist in the allocation of resources; (v) provide guidance to the financial markets to understand our expected operating performance; and (vi) evaluate how a specific potential investment will impact our future results.

Limitations on the use of our FFO measures. While we believe our modified FFO measures are important supplemental measures, neither NAREIT’s nor our measures of FFO should be used alone because they exclude significant economic components of net earnings computed under GAAP and are, therefore, limited as an analytical tool. Accordingly, these are only a few of the many measures we use when analyzing our business. Some of the limitations are:

 

· 

The current income tax expenses and acquisition costs that are excluded from our modified FFO measures represent the taxes and transaction costs that are payable.

 

· 

Depreciation and amortization of real estate assets are economic costs that are excluded from FFO. FFO is limited, as it does not reflect the cash requirements that may be necessary for future replacements of the real estate assets. Furthermore, the amortization of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of logistics facilities are not reflected in FFO.

 

· 

Gains or losses fromnon-development property and dispositions orand impairment charges related to expected dispositions represent changes in value of the properties. By excluding these gains and losses, FFO does not capture realized changes in the value of disposed properties arising from changes in market conditions.

 

· 

The deferred income tax benefits and expenses that are excluded from our modified FFO measures result from the creation of a deferred income tax asset or liability that may have to be settled at some future point. Our modified FFO measures do not currently reflect any income or expense that may result from such settlement.

 

· 

The foreign currency exchange gains and losses that are excluded from our modified FFO measures are generally recognized based on movements in foreign currency exchange rates through a specific point in time. The ultimate settlement of our foreign currency-denominated net assets is indefinite as to timing and amount. Our FFO measures are limited in that they do not reflect the current period changes in these net assets that result from periodic foreign currency exchange rate movements.

 

· 

The gains and losses on extinguishment of debt or preferred stock that we exclude from our Core FFO may provide a benefit or cost to us as we may be settling our debtobligation at less or more than our future obligation.

 

· 

The natural disaster expenses that we exclude from Core FFO are costs that we have incurred.

REITis defined as a Real Estate Investment Trust.real estate investment trust.

Same Store. Our same store metrics arenon-GAAP financial measures, which are commonly used in the real estate industry and expected from the financial community, on both a net effective and cash basis. We evaluate the performance of the operating properties we own and manage using a “same store” analysis because the population of properties in this analysis is consistent from period to period, which allows us and investors to analyze our ongoing business operations. We determine our same store metrics on property NOI, which is calculated as rental revenue less rental expense for the applicable properties in the same store population for both consolidated and unconsolidated properties based on our ownership interest, as further defined below.

We define our same store population for the three months ended December 31, 20192021, as the properties in our Owned and Managed operating portfolio, including the property NOI for both consolidated properties and properties owned by the unconsolidatedco-investment ventures at January 1, 20182020, and owned throughout the same three-month period in both 20182020 and 2019.2021. We believe the drivers of property NOI for the consolidated portfolio are generally the same for the properties owned by the ventures in which we invest and therefore we evaluate the same store metrics of the Owned and Managed portfolio based on Prologis’ ownership in the properties (“Prologis Share”). The same store population excludes properties held for sale to third parties, along with development properties that were not stabilized at the beginning of the period (January 1, 2018)2020) and properties acquired or disposed of to third parties during the period. To derive an appropriate measure ofperiod-to-period operating performance, we remove the effects of foreign currency exchange rate movements by using the reportedperiod-end exchange rate to translate from local currency into the U.S. dollar, for both periods.

We evaluate the results of our same store portfolio on a quarterly basis. The following table summarizes same store NOI and the change from the prior period for the four quarters of 20192021 and on a cumulative annual basis and the square feet of the portfolio used in the calculation (dollars and square feet in millions):

We exclude properties held for sale to third parties, along with development properties that were not stabilized at the beginning of the period and properties acquired or disposed of to third parties during the period. We also exclude net termination and renegotiation fees to allow us to evaluate the growth or decline in each property’s rental revenues without regard toone-time items that are not indicative of the property’s recurring operating performance. Net termination and renegotiation fees represent the gross fee negotiated to allow a customer to terminate or renegotiate their lease, offset by thewrite-off of the asset recorded due to the adjustment to straight-line rents over the lease term. Same Store Property NOI is adjusted to include an allocation of property management expenses for our consolidated properties based on the property management services provided to each property (generally, based on a percentage of revenues). On consolidation, these amounts are eliminated and the actual costs of providing property management services are recognized as part of our consolidated rental expense.

portfolio and apply our ownership percentage at December 31, 20192021, to the Property NOI for both periods, including the properties contributed during the period. We adjust the total Property NOI from the same store portfolio of theco-investment ventures by subtracting the third parties’ share of both consolidated and unconsolidatedco-investment ventures. During the periods presented, certain wholly owned properties were contributed to aco-investment venture and are included in the same store portfolio. Neither our consolidated results nor those of theco-investment ventures, when viewed individually, would be comparable on a same store basis because of the changes in composition of the respective portfolios from period to period (e.g. the results of a contributed property are included in our consolidated results through the contribution date and in the results of the venture subsequent to the contribution date based on our ownership interest at the end of the period). As a result, only line items labeled “Prologis Share of Same Store Property NOI” are comparable period over period.

We further remove certain noncash items (straight-line rent and amortization of fair value lease adjustments) included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP to reflect a Same Store Property NOI—Cash measure. We manage our business and compensate our executives based on the same store results of our Owned and Managed portfolio at 100% as we manage our portfolio on an ownership blind basis. We calculate those results by including 100% of the properties included in our same store portfolio.

Stabilization is defined as the earlier of when a property that was developed has been completed for one year, is contributed to a co-investment venture following completion or is 90% occupied. Upon Stabilization, a property is moved into our operating portfolio.

Stabilized NOIis equal to the estimated twelve months of potential gross rental revenue (base rent, including above or below market rents plus operating expense reimbursements) multiplied by 95% to adjust income to a stabilized vacancy factor of 5%, minus estimated operating expenses.

Total Expected Investment (“TEI”)represents total estimated cost of development or expansion, including land, development and leasing costs. TEI is based on current projections and is subject to change.

Total Stockholder Return (“TSR”)is calculated based on the stock price appreciation and dividends paid to show a total return to a stockholder over a period of time. This calculation assumes dividends are reinvested into the stock on the day the dividend is paid.

Value Creation represents the estimated value that we expect to create through our development and leasing activities. We calculate Value Creation by estimating the Stabilized NOI that the property will generate and applying a stabilized capitalization rate applicable to that property. Value Creation is calculated as the amount by which the value exceeds our TEI and does not include any fees or promotes we may earn. Value Creation for our Value-Added Properties that are sold includes the realized economic gain.

WELL Building Standard is a design standard for buildings that promotes health and wellness. The WELL Building Standard was developed and is overseen by the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI).

2.2Eligibility. The Committee shall designate the Participants to whom Options or SARsare to be granted under this Section 2 and shall determine the number of shares of Stock subject to each such Option or SAR and the other terms and conditions thereof, not inconsistent with the Plan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee may not grant dividend equivalents (current or deferred) with respect to any Option or SAR granted under the Plan.

2.3Limits on Incentive Stock Options. If the Committee grants Incentive Stock Options, then to the extent that the aggregate fair market value of shares of Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any individual during any calendar year (under all plans of Prologis and all Subsidiaries of Prologis) exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated asNon-Qualified Stock Options to the extent required by section 422 of the Code. Any Option that is intended to constitute an Incentive Stock Option shall satisfy any other requirements of section 422 of the Code and, to the extent such Option does not satisfy such requirements, the Option shall be treated as aNon-Qualified Stock Option.

2.4Exercise Price. The “Exercise Price” of an Option or SARshall be established by the Committee at the time the Option or SAR is granted; provided, however, that in no event shall such price be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on such date (or, if greater, the par value of a share of Stock on such date).

2.5Exercise/Vesting. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, an Option or SARgranted under the Plan shall be exercisable in accordance with the following:

(a)

The terms and conditions relating to exercise and vesting of an Option or SARshall be established by the Committee to the extent not inconsistent with the Plan, and may include, without limitation, conditions relating to completion of a specified period of service, achievement of performance standards prior to exercise or the achievement of Stock ownership guidelines by the Participant.

(b)

No Option or SARmay be exercised by a Participant prior to the date on which it is exercisable (or vested) or after the Expiration Date applicable thereto.

2.6Payment of Exercise Price. The payment of the Exercise Price of an Option granted under this Section 2 shall be subject to the following:

(a)

Subject to the following provisions of this subsection 2.6, the full Exercise Price of each share of Stock purchased upon the exercise of any Option shall be paid at the time of such exercise (except that, in the case of an exercise arrangement described in subsection 2.6(b)(iii), payment may be made as soon as practicable after the exercise) and, as soon as practicable thereafter, a certificate representing the shares of Stock so purchased shall be delivered to the person entitled thereto or shares of Stock so purchased or such shares of Stock shall otherwise be registered in the name of the Participant on the records of Prologis’s transfer agent and credited to the Participant’s account.

(b)

Subject to applicable law, the Exercise Price shall be payable (i) in cash or its equivalent, (ii) by tendering, by actual delivery or by attestation, shares of Stock valued at Fair Market Value as of the day of exercise (including by net exercise), (iii) by a combination of (i) and (ii), and (iii) if and to the extent provided by the Committee by irrevocably authorizing a third party to sell shares of Stock (or a sufficient portion of the shares of Stock acquired upon exercise of the Option and remit to Prologis a sufficient portion of the sale proceeds to pay the entire Exercise Price and any U.S federal, state, and local and/or foreign tax (including any social insurance tax or contribution obligations) withholding resulting from such exercise. Shares of Stock may not be used to pay any portion of the Exercise Price unless the holder thereof has good title, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances.

2.7No Repricing. Except for either adjustments pursuant to subsection 4.2 (relating to the adjustment of shares), or reductions of the Exercise Price approved by Prologis’s stockholders, the Exercise Price for any outstanding Option or SAR may not be decreased after the date of grant nor may an outstanding Option or SAR granted under the Plan be surrendered to Prologis as consideration for the grant of a replacement Option or SAR with a lower exercise price or a

Appendix B: Prologis Inc. 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan

Full Value Award. Except as approved by Prologis’s stockholders, in no event shall any Option or SAR granted under the Plan be surrendered to Prologis in consideration for a cash payment if, at the time of such surrender, the Exercise Price of the Option or SAR is greater than the then current Fair Market Value of a share of Stock. In addition, no repricing of an Option or SAR shall be permitted without the approval of Prologis’s stockholders if such approval is required under the rules of any stock exchange on which Stock is listed.

2.8Tandem Grants of Options and SARs. An Option may but need not be in tandem with an SAR, and an SAR may but need not be in tandem with an Option (in either case, regardless of whether the original award was granted under this Plan or another plan or arrangement). If an Option is in tandem with an SAR, the exercise price of both the Option and SAR shall be the same, and the exercise of the corresponding tandem SAR or Option shall cancel the corresponding tandem SAR or Option with respect to such share. If an SAR is in tandem with an Option but is granted after the grant of the Option, or if an Option is in tandem with an SAR but is granted after the grant of the SAR, the later granted tandem Award shall have the same exercise price as the earlier granted Award, but in no event less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock at the time of such grant.

2.9Expiration Date. The “Expiration Date” with respect to an Option or SAR means the date established as the Expiration Date by the Committee at the time of the grant (as the same may be modified in accordance with the terms of the Plan); provided, however, that the Expiration Date with respect to any Option or SARshall not be later than the earliest to occur of theten-year anniversary of the date on which the Option or SAR is granted or the following dates, unless the following dates are determined otherwise by the Committee,

(b)

if the Participant’s Termination Date occurs for reasons other than retirement (as defined by the Committee), death, Disability or Cause, the three-month anniversary of such Termination Date; or

(c)

if the Participant’s Termination Date occurs for reasons of Cause, the day preceding the Termination Date.

In no event shall the Expiration Date of an Option or SAR be later than theten-year anniversary of the date on which the Option or SAR is granted (or such shorter period required by law or the rules of any stock exchange on which the Stock is listed).

Section 3

Full Value Awards

A “Full Value Award” is a grant of one or more shares of Stock or a right to receive one or more shares of Stock in the future (including restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, performance stock and performance stock units and awards with respect to partnership interests which are convertible into, exchangeable for or redeemable in shares of Stock). Such grants may be in consideration of a Participant’s previously performed services or surrender of other compensation that may be due, contingent on the achievement of performance or other objectives (including completion of service) during a specified period, subject to a risk of forfeiture or other restrictions that will lapse upon the achievement of one or more goals relating to completion of service by the Participant or achievement of performance or other objectives, and/or may be granted for other purposes and shall be subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies, as determined by the Committee, including provisions relating to dividend or dividend equivalent rights and deferred payment or settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no dividends or dividend equivalent rights will be paid or settled on performance-based awards that have not been earned based on the performance criteria established. Such grants may be made under other arrangements or plans that are treated as subplans of the Plan (including, but not limited to, the Prologis, Inc. Promote Plan and the Prologis, Inc. 2016 Outperformance Plan both as amended and/or restated from time to time) and, in such case, Awards under such subplans shall be treated as the grant of an Award under the Plan.

Shares of Stock that are withheld to pay the exercise price of an Option or the taxes payable upon exercise of an Option or SAR (whether granted under the Plan or a Prior Plan) shall not be Recycled Shares for purpose of the Plan. Upon stock settlement of SARs, the gross number of shares of Stock subject to the SARs originally granted shall be counted as issued for purposes of the limitations of Section 4.1(b), regardless of the number of shares of Stock actually issued upon such Stock settlement.

(f)

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the maximum number of shares of Stock that may be delivered to Participants and their Beneficiaries with respect to Incentive Stock Options under the Plan shall be [INSERT TOTAL SHARES RESERVED]; provided, however, that to the extent that shares not delivered must be counted against this limit as a condition of satisfying the rules applicable to Incentive Stock Options, such rules shall apply to the limit on Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan.

(g)

If the Awards are denominated in Stock but an equivalent amount of cash is delivered in lieu of delivery of shares of Stock, the foregoing limit shall be applied based on the methodology used by the Committee to convert the number of shares of Stock into cash. If the Awards are denominated in shares of Stock but an equivalent amount of Stock is delivered in lieu of delivery of cash, the foregoing limit shall be applied based on the methodology used by the Committee to convert the cash to Stock.

(ii)

If delivery of Stock or cash is deferred until after the Stock or cash has been earned, any adjustment in the amount delivered to reflect actual or deemed investment experience after the date the Stock or cash is earned shall be disregarded.

(i)

The sum of any cash compensation or other compensation and the value of any Awards granted to an Outside Director as compensation for services as an Outside Director during any the period beginning on the date of one regular annual meeting of our stockholders until the date of the next regular annual meeting of our stockholders may not exceed $1,000,000. The Committee may make exceptions to this limit for individual Outside Directors in exceptional circumstances, as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion, provided that the Outside Director receiving such additional compensation may not participate in the decision to award such compensation.

4.2Adjustments to Shares of Stock. In the event of a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation,split-up,spin-off, exchange of shares, sale of assets or subsidiaries, combination, or other corporate transaction that affects the Stock such that the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that an adjustment is warranted in order to preserve the benefits or prevent the enlargement of benefits of Awards under the Plan, the Committee shall, in the manner it determines equitable in its sole discretion, (a) adjust the number and kind of shares which may be delivered under the Plan (including adjustments to the number and kind of shares that may be granted to an individual during any specified time as described in subsection 4.1); (b) adjust the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding Awards; (c) adjust the Exercise Price of outstanding Options and SARs; and (d) make any other adjustments that the Committee determines to be equitable (which may include, without limitation, (i) replacement of Awards with other awards which the Committee determines have comparable value and which are based on stock of a company resulting from the transaction, and (ii) cancellation of the Award in return for cash payment of the current value of the Award, determined as though the Award is fully vested at the time of payment, provided that in the case of an Option or SAR, the amount of such payment may be the excess of value of the shares of Stock subject to the Option or SAR at the time of the transaction over the exercise price).

4.3Change in Control. In the event that (a) a Participant is employed on the date of a Change in Control and the Participant’s employment or service, as applicable, is terminated by Prologis or the successor to Prologis (or a Related Company which is his or her employer) for reasons other than Cause within 24 monthsfollowing the Change in Control, or (b) the Plan is terminated by Prologis or its successor following a Change in Control without provision for the continuation of outstanding Awards hereunder, all Options, SARs and related Awards which have not otherwise expired shall become immediately exercisable and all other Awards shall become fully vested. If, upon a Change in Control, awards in other shares or securities are substituted for outstanding Awards pursuant to subsection 4.2, and immediately following the Change in Control the Participant becomes employed by (if the Participant was an employee immediately prior to the Change in Control) or a board member of (if the Participant was an Outside Director immediately prior to the Change in Control) the entity into which Prologis merged, or the purchaser of substantially all of the assets of Prologis, or a successor to such entity or purchaser, the Participant shall not be treated as having terminated employment or service for purposes of this subsection 4.3 until such time as the Participant terminates employment or service with the merged entity or purchaser (or successor), as applicable.

Section 5

Committee

5.1Administration. The authority to control and manage the operation and administration of the Plan shall be vested in the committee described in subsection 5.2 (the “Committee”) in accordance with this Section 5. If the Committee does not exist, or for any other reason determined by the Board, the Board may take any action under the Plan that would otherwise be the responsibility of the Committee.

5.2Selection of Committee. So long as Prologis is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Committee shall be selected by the Board and shall consist of not fewer than two members of the Board or such greater number as may be required for compliance with Rule16b-3 issued under the Exchange Act and shall be comprised of persons who are independent for purposes of applicable stock exchange listing requirements. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, with respect to any Awards to Outside Directors, the Committee shall be the Board.

5.3Powers of Committee. The authority to manage and control the operation and administration of the Plan shall be vested in the Committee, subject to the following:

(a)

Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee will have the authority and discretion to (i) select Eligible Individuals who will receive Awards under the Plan, (ii) determine the time or times of receipt of Awards, (iii) determine the types of Awards and the number of shares of Stock covered by the Awards, (iv) establish the terms, conditions, performance targets, restrictions, and other provisions of Awards, (v) modify the terms of, cancel or suspend Awards, (vi) reissue or repurchase Awards, and (vii) accelerate the exercisability or vesting of any Award. In making such Award determinations, the Committee may take into account the nature of services rendered by the respective employee, the individual’s present and potential contribution to Prologis’s or a Related Company’s success and such other factors as the Committee deems relevant.

(b)

Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee will have the authority and discretion to conclusively interpret the Plan, to establish, amend and rescind any rules and regulations relating to the Plan, to determine the terms and provisions of any agreements made pursuant to the Plan and to make all other determinations that may be necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.

(c)

Any interpretation of the Plan by the Committee and any decision made by it under the Plan is final and binding on all persons.

(d)

Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, where the Committee is authorized to make a determination with respect to any Award, such determination shall be made at the time the Award is made, except that the Committee may reserve the authority to have such determination made by the Committee in the future (but only if such reservation is made at the time the Award is granted, is expressly stated in the Agreement reflecting the Award and is permitted by applicable law).

(e)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the course of administering the Plan and in granting Awards hereunder and in exercise of the authority granted to the Committee pursuant to the Plan, it is the Committee’s practice, when making determinations with respect to Awards (including the grant or administration thereof), to consider whether the Participant is in good standing to ensure that the Plan is administered in accordance with its purposes and goals with respect to the delivery of compensation to the Company’s employees and other service providers.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is the intention of Prologis that, to the extent that any provisions of this Plan or any Awards granted hereunder are subject to section 409A of the Code, the Plan and the Awards comply with the requirements of section 409A of the Code and that the Plan and Awards be administered in accordance with such requirements and the Committee shall have the authority to amend any outstanding Awards to conform to the requirements of section 409A.

(b)

In the case of a Participant who is subject to Section 16(a) and 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the Committee may, at any time, add such conditions and limitations to any Award to such Participant, or any feature of any such Award, as the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable to comply with Section 16(a) or 16(b) and the rules and regulations thereunder or to obtain any exemption therefrom.

6.3Liability for Cash Payments. Subject to the provisions of this Section 6, each Related Company shall be liable for payment of cash due under the Plan with respect to any Participant to the extent that such payment is attributable to the services rendered for that Related Company by the Participant. Any disputes relating to liability of a Related Company for cash payments shall be resolved by the Committee.

6.4Withholding. Prologis shall have the right to deduct from any and all payments made under the Plan or to require the Participant, through payroll withholding, cash payment, or otherwise (including, with the consent of the Committee, through the surrender of Stock which the Participant already owns or to which the Participant is otherwise entitled under the Plan), in an amount that is required by law to be withheld by Prologis or a Related Company with respect to an Award or the shares or cash acquired pursuant thereto or such other amount determined by Prologis or a Related Company that is not prohibited by applicable law, but in no event more than maximum U.S. federal, state, and local, and/or foreign taxes (including any social insurance tax or contribution obligations), if any. Prologis shall have no obligation to deliver shares of Stock or cash until the tax withholding obligations have been satisfied by the Participant.

6.5Transferability. Awards under the Plan are not transferable except as designated by the Participant by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or, unless otherwise provided by the Committee, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order (within the meaning of the Code and applicable rules thereunder). To the extent that the Participant who receives an Award under the Plan has the right to exercise such Award, the Award may be exercised during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection 6.5, unless otherwise provided by the Committee, Awards may be transferred to or for the benefit of the Participant’s family (including, without limitation, to a trust or partnership for the benefit of a Participant’s family) or to a charity selected by the Participant, subject to such procedures as the Committee may establish. In no event shall an Incentive Stock Option be transferable to the extent that such transferability would violate the requirements applicable to such option under section 422 of the Code.

6.6Notices. Any notice or document required to be filed with the Committee under the Plan will be properly filed if delivered or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, to the Committee, in care of Prologis or the Related Company, as applicable, at its principal executive offices. The Committee may, by advance written notice to affected persons, revise such notice procedure from time to time. Any notice required under the Plan (other than a notice of election) may be waived by the person entitled to notice.

6.7Form and Time of Elections. Unless otherwise specified herein, each election required or permitted to be made by any Participant or other person entitled to benefits under the Plan, and any permitted modification or revocation thereof, shall be in writing filed with the applicable Committee at such times, in such form, and subject to such restrictions and limitations, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Committee shall require.

6.8Agreement With Prologis or Related Company. At the time of an Award to a Participant under the Plan, the Committee may require a Participant to enter into an agreement with Prologis or the Related Company, as applicable (the “Agreement”), in a form specified by the Committee, agreeing to the terms and conditions of the Plan and to such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as the Committee may, in its sole discretion, prescribe.

6.9Limitation of Implied Rights.

(a)

Neither a Participant nor any other person shall, by reason of the Plan, acquire any right in or title to any assets, funds or property of Prologis or any Related Company whatsoever, including, without limitation, any specific funds, assets, or other property which Prologis or any Related Company, in its sole discretion, may set aside in anticipation of a liability under the Plan. A Participant shall have only a contractual right to the amounts, if any, payable under the Plan, unsecured by any assets of Prologis and any Related Company. Nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute a guarantee by Prologis or any Related Company that the assets of such companies shall be sufficient to pay any benefits to any person.

(b)

The Plan does not constitute a contract of employment or continued service, and selection as a Participant will not give any employee the right to be retained in the employ or service of Prologis or any Related Company, nor any right or claim to any benefit under the Plan, unless such right or claim has specifically accrued under the terms of the Plan. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, no Award under the Plan shall confer upon the holder thereof any right as a

stockholder of Prologis prior to the date on which he fulfills all service requirements and other conditions for receipt of such rights and shares of Stock are registered in his name.

6.10Evidence. Evidence required of anyone under the Plan may be by certificate, affidavit, document or other information which the person acting on it considers pertinent and reliable, and signed, made or presented by the proper party or parties.

6.11Action by Prologis or Related Company. Any action required or permitted to be taken by Prologis or any Related Company shall be by resolution of its board of directors or governing body or by action of one or more members of the board or governing body (including a committee of the board or governing body) who are duly authorized to act for the board or, in the case of any Related Company which is a partnership, by action of its general partner or a person or persons authorized by the general partner, or (except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange on which the Stock is listed) by a duly authorized officer of Prologis.

6.12Gender and Number. Where the context admits, words in any gender shall include any other gender, words in the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular.

6.13Compliance with Law. The grant of Awards and the issuance of shares of Stock pursuant to any Award shall be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of U.S. federal and state andnon-U.S. law with respect to such securities and the requirements of any stock exchanges or market system upon which the Stock may then be listed. In addition, no Award may be exercised or shares issued pursuant to an Award unless (a)(i) a registration statement under the Securities Act shall at the time of such exercise or issuance be in effect with respect to the shares issuable pursuant to the Award or (ii) in the opinion of legal counsel to Prologis, the shares issuable pursuant to the Award may be issued in accordance with the terms of an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and (b) Prologis has obtained such other approvals from governmental agencies and/or has completed any registration or other qualification of such shares of Stock under any state ornon-U.S. law that Prologis determines are necessary or advisable. The inability of Prologis to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by Prologis’s legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares hereunder shall relieve Prologis of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such shares as to which such required authority shall not have been obtained. As a condition to issuance of any Stock, Prologis may require the Participant to satisfy any qualification that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or requirement, and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be required by Prologis.

6.14Restrictions on Shares and Awards. The Committee, in its discretion, may impose such restrictions on shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Plan, whether pursuant to the exercise of an Option or SAR, settlement of a Full Value Award or otherwise, as it determines to be desirable, including, without limitation, restrictions relating to disposition of the shares and forfeiture restrictions based on service, performance, Common Stock ownership by the Participant, conformity with the Company’s recoupment, compensation recovery, or clawback policies and such other factors as the Committee determines to be appropriate. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless otherwise specified by the Committee, any awards under the Plan and any shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to the Company’s compensation recovery, clawback, and recoupment policies as in effect from time to time.

6.15Misconduct. If the Committee determines that a present or former employee or Outside Director has (a) used for profit or disclosed to unauthorized persons, confidential or trade secrets of Prologis or any Related Company; (b) breached any contract with or violated any fiduciary obligation to Prologis or any Related Company; or (c) engaged in any conduct which the Committee determines is injurious to Prologis or any Related Company, the Committee may cause that employee or Outside Director to forfeit his or her outstanding Awards under the Plan. The provisions of this Section 6.15 are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other authority granted to the Committee pursuant to Section 5 hereof.

6.16Applicable Law. The provisions of the Plan shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland, without giving effect to choice of law principles.

6.17Foreign Participants. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Committee may grant Awards to eligible persons who are foreign nationals or residents of a foreign jurisdiction on such terms and conditions different from those specified in the Plan as may, in the judgment of the Committee, be necessary or desirable to foster

and promote achievement of the purposes of the Plan. In furtherance of such purposes, the Committee may make such modifications, amendments, procedures and subplans as may be necessary or advisable to facilitate or comply with provisions of laws in other countries or jurisdictions in which Prologis or a Related Company operates or has employees. The foregoing provisions of this subsection 6.17 shall not be applied to increase the share limitations of Section 4 or to otherwise change any provision of the Plan that would otherwise require the approval of Prologis’s stockholders.

Section 7

Amendment and Termination

The Board may, at any time, amend or terminate the Plan, and the Board or the Committee may amend any Agreement, provided that no amendment or termination may, in the absence of written consent to the change by the affected Participant (or, if the Participant is not then living, the affected Beneficiary), adversely affect the rights of any Participant or Beneficiary under any Award granted under the Plan prior to the date such amendment is adopted by the Board (or the Committee, if applicable); and further provided that adjustments pursuant to subsection 4.2 shall not be subject to the foregoing limitations of this Section 7; and further provided that the provisions of subsection 2.7 (relating to Option and SARrepricing) cannot be amended unless the amendment is approved by Prologis’s stockholders; and provided further that, no other amendment shall be made to the Plan without the approval of Prologis’s stockholders if such approval is required by law or the rules of any stock exchange on which the Stock is listed. It is the intention of Prologis that, to the extent that any provisions of this Plan or any Awards granted hereunder are subject to section 409A of the Code, the Plan and the Awards comply with the requirements of section 409A of the Code and that the Board shall have the authority to amend the Plan as it deems necessary to conform to section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Prologis does not guarantee that Awards under the Plan will comply with section 409A and the Committee is under no obligation to make any changes to any Award to cause such compliance.
