MEXICO CITY, May 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- FIBRA Prologis (BMV: FIBRAPL 14), a leading owner and operator of Class-A industrial real estate in Mexico, announced today that it raised US$370 million dollars through a US$300 million green US Private Placement of senior unsecured notes ("USPP") and a US$70 million dollars equivalent green bond offering of Long Term Trust Certificates "Certificados Bursátiles Fiduciarios de Largo Plazo" (BMV: FIBRAPL 21DV) (the "Notes").

The USPP have a weighted average interest expense, including the estimated corresponding withholding tax, of approximately 3.65% per annum and are senior, unsecured obligations of FIBRAPL.
The Notes bear interest of approximately 3.73% per annum, and are senior, unsecured obligations of FIBRAPL.

Net proceeds from both transactions will be used to fund the repayment of term loans that are due in 2023 and 2024, and paydown outstanding borrowings on FIBRAPL's line of credit, that were used to finance in whole or in part our "Eligible Green Project Portfolio" as defined in the CEBURES offering's prospectus supplement.

"We are very pleased to continue increasing FIBRAPL's green financings through various efficient and flexible types of debt, resulting in an even stronger balance sheet," said Jorge Girault, Senior Vice-President, Fund Asset Management Prologis Property Mexico. "I am grateful for the trust put in us by our Mexican and international investors in both transactions. This refinancing opens new possibilities for us in the capital markets, with new, international investors coming into Mexico and improving the execution of all our financing options."
