		<description><![CDATA[Prologis Inc. (PLD), a leading industrial real estate investment trust (REIT), has recently fully leased ‘Prologis Tolleson Distribution Center 1’ – a 302,600 square foot warehouse property in Tolleson, Arizona, to an unnamed retailer for an undisclosed amount. The leased facility was earlier acquired in August 2011 for $9.95 million in an all-cash transaction. The lease-up of the distribution facility within a short span of time highlights the inherent quality of the asset portfolio of Prologis and signifies the strong demand of large blocks of industrial space in the Phoenix sub-market. To capitalize on this opportunity, Prologis presently has approximately 3 million square feet of operating assets in Phoenix, as well as a land pool to accommodate approximately 2.5 million square feet of additional development in the region.

		<description><![CDATA[We have recently lowered our long-term recommendation on Prologis Inc. (PLD) – the erstwhile AMB Property Corp., from Neutral to Underperform primarily driven by macroeconomic issues that have contributed to a slower pace of recovery of the industrial real estate sector. Prologis, a leading industrial real estate investment trust (REIT), acquires, develops, operates and manages industrial real estate space in North America, Asia and Europe. The majority of the company’s portfolio comprises high throughput distribution (HTD), which provides multiple options for quick movement and the distribution of goods to the customer and serves as a critical element in creating efficiencies in the global supply chain. HTD properties are warehouses or other industrial properties that are located near airports, seaports, and ground transportation facilities, which enable rapid distribution of customers’ products. ]]></description>

This has helped the group generate market-beating returns. The FTSE NAREIT Equity REIT Index had total returns of 6.3% in the first quarter of 2011 vs. 4.8% and 5.4% for the NASDAQ Composite and the S&#38;P 500 Index, respectively. This was preceded by a solid back-to-back returns performances by the industry, as the above referred benchmark index returned roughly 28% each in 2010 and 2009. Investors looking for high dividend yields also favored the REIT sector. Solid dividend payouts are arguably the biggest enticement for REIT investors as the U.S. law requires REITs to distribute 90% of their ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The U.S. Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) industry continued its growth momentum in fiscal 2010 with sustained improvements in the economy, driven by a spurt in real estate fundamentals and an increased inflow of funds as institutional investors have allocated more capital to the industry. The FTSE NAREIT Equity REIT Index reported total returned 27.96% for full year 2010 vs. a 16.91% and a 15.06% for the NASDAQ Composite and the S&#38;P 500 Index, respectively. This marks a solid back-to-back fiscal performance for the industry, as the FTSE NAREIT Equity REIT Index reported total returns of 27.99% in 2009. The continued robust fiscal results of the REIT industry were primarily due to its unique business model.

		<description><![CDATA[The U.S. Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) industry that witnessed two strong back-to-back performances in first quarter 2010 and fourth quarter 2009 somewhat lost its momentum in its fiscal 2010 second quarter. The FTSE NAREIT Equity REIT Index reported total returns of negative 3.05% in the second quarter, vs. a 12.5% and a 10.6% loss for the S&#38;P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrials, respectively. Although total returns as measured by the FTSE NAREIT Equity REIT Index remained well above the S&#38;P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrials, it declined drastically from 10.0% in the first quarter of 2010 and 9.4% in the fourth quarter of 2009. The lackluster performance of the FTSE NAREIT Equity Index is primarily attributable to broader stock-market concerns fueled by the European debt crisis, which ]]></description>

Operating as a real estate closed-ended investment fund, PEPR is externally managed by a subsidiary of ProLogis. Management firmly believed that current PEPR unit prices were relatively low and did not reflect its true potential, thereby making it an attractive investment opportunity. Consequently, the company purchased additional Ordinary Units carrying voting rights of PEPR to increase its ownership to 30.2% or 57.6 million of PEPR’s Ordinary Units.
