The exchange offers and the solicitation of consents are being
made under terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the
prospectus filed by AMB and AMB LP with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") and a related letter of transmittal and
consent that contains a more complete description of the terms and
conditions of the exchange offers and the solicitation of
consents.
A holder who validly tenders its ProLogis Notes for exchange
will be deemed to have delivered its consent to the Proposed
Amendments. Tenders of ProLogis Notes may be withdrawn any time
prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on June 3, 2011, unless extended by AMB LP (the
"Expiration Date"). Consents to the Proposed Amendments delivered
prior to the Early Consent Date may not be revoked after the Early
Consent Date. Consents to the Proposed Amendments delivered after
the Early Consent Date and before the Expiration Date may be
revoked any time prior to the Expiration Date. Tenders of
ProLogis Notes may not be validly withdrawn after the Expiration
Date, unless AMB LP otherwise is required by law to permit
withdrawal.
A holder who does not validly tender its ProLogis Notes for
exchange, or whose notes are not accepted for exchange, will remain
a holder of such ProLogis Notes. If the Proposed Amendments
to the ProLogis Indenture are adopted, all such ProLogis Notes will
be governed by the ProLogis Indenture as amended by the Proposed
Amendments, which will have less restrictive terms and afford
reduced protections to the holders of such securities compared to
those currently in the ProLogis Indenture.
AMB LP's obligations to complete the exchange offers and the
solicitation of consents are conditioned upon, among other things,
completion of the merger of equals, listing of AMB LP's existing
6.750% Notes due 2011 on the New York Stock Exchange and receipt of
valid consents sufficient to effect the Proposed Amendments. The
merger and related transactions and listing of AMB LP's existing
6.750% Notes due 2011 on the New York Stock Exchange are not
conditioned upon the commencement or completion of the exchange
offers or the solicitation of consents.
Citi and RBS are serving as the dealer managers and solicitation
agents and Global Bondholder Services Corporation is serving as
exchange agent and information agent for the exchange offers and
the solicitation of consents. Questions regarding the exchange
offers and the solicitation of consents may be directed to

difficult to predict. Although we believe the expectations
reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable
assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be
attained and therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ
materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such
forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that may affect
outcomes and results include, but are not limited to: (i) national,
international, regional and local economic climates, (ii) changes

merger and the timing of the closing of the merger, and (iv) those
additional risks and factors discussed in reports filed with the
