1. | Description of Business
Prologis, Inc. (or the “Parent”) commenced operations as a fully integrated real estate company in 1997, elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), and believes the current organization and method of operation will enable it to maintain its status as a REIT. The Parent is the general partner of Prologis, L.P. (or the “Operating Partnership”). Through the Operating Partnership, we are engaged in the ownership, acquisition, development and operation of industrial properties in global and regional markets throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia. Our current business strategy is comprised of two operating business segments: Real Estate Operations and Strategic Capital. Our Real Estate Operations segment represents the ownership of industrial properties. Our Strategic Capital segment represents the management of co-investment ventures and other unconsolidated entities. See Note 20 for further discussion of our business segments. Unless otherwise indicated, the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements apply to both the Parent and the Operating Partnership. The terms “the Company,” “Prologis,” “we,” “our” or “us” means the Parent and Operating Partnership collectively. For each share of common stock or preferred stock the Parent issues, the Operating Partnership issues a corresponding common or preferred partnership unit, as applicable, to the Parent in exchange for the contribution of the proceeds from the stock issuance. At December 31, 2014, the Parent owned an approximate 99.65% common general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership, and 100% of the preferred units in the Operating Partnership. The remaining approximate 0.35% common limited partnership interests are owned by non-affiliated investors and certain current and former directors and officers of the Parent. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Parent has full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion in the day-to-day management and control of the Operating Partnership. We operate the Parent and the Operating Partnership as one enterprise. The management of the Parent consists of the same members as the management of the Operating Partnership. These members are officers of the Parent and employees of the Operating Partnership or one of its subsidiaries. As general partner with control of the Operating Partnership, the Parent consolidates the Operating Partnership. Since the Parent’s only significant asset is its investment in the Operating Partnership, the assets and liabilities of the Parent and the Operating Partnership are the same on their respective financial statements. Information with respect to the square footage, number of buildings and acres of land is unaudited.
