Other Events.

As previously disclosed, on June 11, 2022, Prologis, Inc. ("Prologis") and Prologis, L.P. ("Prologis OP") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") by and among Prologis, Prologis OP, Compton Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Prologis ("Prologis Merger Sub"), Compton Merger Sub OP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Prologis OP ("Prologis OP Merger Sub" and, together with Prologis, Prologis OP and Prologis Merger Sub, the "Prologis Parties"), Duke Realty Corporation, an Indiana corporation ("DRE"), and Duke Realty Limited Partnership, an Indiana limited partnership ("DRE OP" and, together with DRE, the "DRE Parties").

The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, (a) DRE will merge with and into Prologis Merger Sub (the "DRE Merger"), with Prologis Merger Sub surviving the merger and remaining a wholly owned subsidiary of Prologis (the "Surviving Entity"), (b) thereafter, Prologis and the Surviving Entity will cause all of the outstanding equity interests of the Surviving Entity to be contributed to Prologis OP in exchange for the issuance by Prologis OP of partnership interests in Prologis OP to Prologis and/or its subsidiaries as directed by Prologis, and (c) thereafter, Prologis OP Merger Sub will be merged with and into DRE OP, with DRE OP surviving the merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Prologis OP (the "Partnership Merger" and, together with the DRE Merger, the "Mergers").

Letter Agreement

On September 16, 2022, the Prologis Parties and the DRE Parties entered into a letter agreement (the "Letter Agreement"), which modifies the treatment of certain Partnership Performance-Based LTIP Unit Awards (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (generally, (i) the above target payout portion for such awards granted in calendar year 2020 and (ii) any additional Partnership LTIP Units (as defined in the Merger Agreement) earned in respect of such awards based on dividends paid by DRE while such awards were outstanding) that are outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Partnership Merger (the "Partnership Merger Effective Time") to provide that such awards will, as of the Partnership Merger Effective Time, be canceled in exchange for the right of the holder to receive an amount in cash calculated in accordance with the Letter Agreement, less applicable taxes and withholdings.

The foregoing summary of the Letter Agreement does not purport to be a complete description and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Letter Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Litigation-Related Supplemental Disclosures

Beginning on July 26, 2022, two purported holders of Prologis common stock filed substantially similar complaints against Prologis and the members of the Prologis board of directors in federal district court. One complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California and one complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaints are captioned as follows:

Bushansky

v.

Prologis, Inc. et al.

, No.

3:22-cv-04320

(N.D. Ca. filed July 26, 2022); and

Curtis

v.

Prologis, Inc. et al.

, No.

1:22-cv-07833

(S.D.N.Y. filed September 13, 2022) (collectively, the "Prologis Federal Actions"). The complaints in the Prologis FederalActions allege that Prologis and the Prologis board violated federal securities laws by omitting or misstating material information in the Form

S-4

in connection with the Mergers, rendering the Form

S-4

materially deficient. Beginning on July 27, 2022, six purported holders of DRE common stock filed substantially similar complaints against DRE and the members of the DRE board of directors in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaints are captioned as follows:

Stein

v.

Duke Realty Corporation et al.

, No.

1:22-cv-06387

(filed July 27, 2022);

O'Dell

v.

Duke Realty Corporation et al.

, No.

1:22-cv-06425

(filed July 28, 2022);

Whitfield

v.

Duke Realty Corporation et al.

, No.

1:22-cv-0658

(filed August 2, 2022);

McCollum

v.

Duke Realty Corporation et al.

, No.

1:22-cv-06585

(filed August 3, 2022);

Moore

v.

Duke Realty Corporation et al.

, No.

1:22-cv-07837

(filed September 13, 2022); and

Riley

v.

Duke Realty Corporation et al.

, No.

1:22-cv-07883

(filed September 14, 2022) (collectively, the "DRE Actions" and together with the Prologis Federal Actions, the "Federal Actions"). The complaints in the DREActions allege that DRE and the DRE board violated federal securities laws by omitting or misstating material information in the Form

S-4

in connection with the Mergers, rendering the Form

S-4

materially deficient. The plaintiffs in the Federal Actions seek, among other things, (i) to enjoin the transaction until the alleged deficiencies in the Form

S-4

are corrected, and (ii) attorneys' and experts' fees and costs in connection with the lawsuit.

In addition, on August 3, 2022, an action captioned

Garfield v. Moghadam et. al.

, No.

C22-01579,

was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Contra Costa against Prologis and the Prologis board of directors (the "Garfield Action" and, together with the Federal Actions, the "Actions"). The complaint in the Garfield Action asserts, among other things, claims for breach of fiduciary duty under Maryland law as well as securities fraud under California law against Prologis and the Prologis board of directors. The complaint alleges that Prologis and the Prologis board of directors caused a materially incomplete and misleading proxy statement to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and made available to the Prologis stockholders.

The defendants believe that the Actions are without merit. The defendants deny that any further disclosure beyond that already contained in the joint proxy statement/prospectus that was filed by Prologis and DRE on August 2, 2022 and which has been disseminated to Prologis stockholders and DRE shareholders (the "Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus") is required under applicable law to supplement the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Nonetheless, to avoid the risk that the Actions may delay or otherwise adversely affect the consummation of the Mergers and to minimize the expense of defending such Actions, the defendants are making the following supplemental disclosures (the "litigation-related supplemental disclosures") to the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Nothing in this Report shall be deemed an admission of the legal necessity or materiality under applicable laws of any of the supplemental disclosures set forth herein.

The litigation-related supplemental disclosures contained below should be read in conjunction with the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, which is available on the Internet site maintained by the SEC at http://www.sec.gov, along with periodic reports and other information Prologis and DRE file with the SEC. To the extent that the information set forth herein differs from or updates information contained in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, the information set forth herein shall supersede or supplement the information in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus. All page references are to pages in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, and terms used below, unless otherwise defined, have the meanings set forth in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

non-public

From this date through May 11, 2022, Party A declined to provide a proposal despite further inquiry from Morgan Stanley.

Using discount rates ranging from 7.0% to 8.0%, reflecting estimates of Duke Realty's weighted average cost of capital, Goldman Sachs derived a range of illustrative present values per share of Duke Realty common stock, by discounting to present value as of March 31, 2022, (i) estimates of the unlevered free cash flows to be generated by Duke Realty on a standalone basis, both without taking into account the Synergies and taking into account the Synergies, for the period from April 1, 2022 to December 31, 2026, as reflected in the Forecasts, and (ii) a range of illustrative terminal values for Duke Realty, as of December 31, 2026, calculated by applying exit terminal year multiples ranging from 25.0x to 28.0x to estimated

1-year

forward adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, which we refer to in this section as "EBITDA," to be generated by Duke Realty, both without taking into account the Synergies and taking into account the Synergies,
