SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --  Prologis, Inc. (NYSE: PLD), the leading global owner, operator and developer of industrial real estate, today announced an updated tax treatment of its 2011 distributions only for common stockholders of AMB Property Corporation that received a common stock dividend on January 7, 2011. Please refer to Exhibit A for an update.

The attached information has been prepared using the best available information to date. Prologis, Inc.'s federal income tax return for the year ended December 31, 2011 has not yet been filed.  Please note that federal tax laws affect taxpayers differently, and we cannot advise you on how distributions should be reported on your federal income tax return.  Please also note that state and local taxation of REIT distributions vary and may not be the same as the federal rules.  Prologis, Inc. thus urges you to consult with your own tax advisor with respect to the federal, state and local income tax consequences of these distributions.

The tax treatment exhibit, in its entirety, can be found in the Investor Relations section at www.prologis.com under Tax Information Update.

If you held shares of common or preferred stock of AMB Property Corporation or Prologis, Inc. or common or preferred shares of ProLogis in your name at any time during 2011, an IRS Form 1099-DIV will be provided to you by Computershare, Prologis, Inc.'s transfer agent, in the coming days and will reflect this updated information.  If you held shares in "street name" during 2011, the IRS form provided by your bank, brokerage firm or nominee may report only the gross distribution paid to you.  Therefore, you may need the information set forth to properly complete your federal tax return.
