ProLogis European Properties closes new £86 million four-year secured bank loan with Eurohypo AG
Luxembourg - 27 July 2009 - ProLogis European Properties (Euronext: PEPR), Europe's largest owner of modern distribution facilities, announced today that it has closed and received funding for a new four-year secured bank loan facility for £86.145 million (c. €100 million) with Eurohypo AG, in line with the announcement made on 23 July 2009. Net proceeds from the loan will be used to reduce outstanding debt.
The £86 million loan facility is secured on a portfolio of 15 prime UK distribution facilities and will mature in July 2013, with the potential to extend for a further year if certain criteria are met in July 2013. The key terms of the loan are a fixed rate of 5.93% p.a., an initial loan-to-value of 50% and no amortisation of loan principal until maturity.

Peter Cassells, chief executive officer, said: "We are pleased to have completed this secured financing with Eurohypo, a new lender for PEPR. This transaction demonstrates the attractiveness to lenders of the strong and stable cash flows generated by our portfolio of high-quality prime distribution facilities even in the current difficult market environment. It also emphasises the ability we have to take advantage of our access to debt capital markets."
