On February 4, 2020, we acquired Liberty Property Trust and Liberty Property Limited Partnership (collectively “Liberty” or the “Liberty Transaction”).

The Liberty Transaction was completed for $13.0 billion through the issuance of equity based on the value of the Prologis common stock and units issued of $10.0 billion and the assumption of debt of $2.8 billion, and includes transaction costs. In connection with the transaction, each issued and outstanding share or unit held by a Liberty stockholder or unitholder was converted automatically into 0.675 shares of Prologis common stock or common units of Prologis, L.P., respectively, including shares and units under Liberty’s equity incentive plan that became fully vested at closing.

Through the Liberty Transaction, we acquired a portfolio primarily comprised of logistics real estate assets, including 519 industrial operating properties, aggregating 99.6 million square feet, which are highly complementary to our U.S. portfolio in terms of product quality, location and growth potential in our key markets. There was approximately 34 million square feet of non-strategic industrial properties acquired in the Liberty Transaction for which our intent is not to operate these properties long-term. Depending on the expected hold period, these assets are either classified as Assets Held for Sale or Contribution or Other Real Estate Investments in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, we acquired an ownership interest in eight other ventures that own industrial and office properties.

The aggregate equity consideration is calculated below (in millions, except price per share):

Number of Prologis shares and units issued upon conversion of Liberty shares and units at February 4, 2020		109.01
Multiplied by closing price of Prologis' common stock on February 3, 2020	$	91.87
Fair value of Prologis shares and units issued	$	10,015

We accounted for the Liberty Transaction as an asset acquisition and as a result, the transaction costs were capitalized to the basis of the acquired properties. Transaction costs included investment banker advisory fees, legal fees and other costs. Under acquisition accounting, the total purchase price was allocated to the Liberty real estate properties, excluding those held for sale, on a relative fair value basis. Other monetary assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including debt, are recorded at fair value. The purchase price allocation of Liberty resulted primarily in net investments in real estate and related net intangible assets financed by the issuance of Prologis shares and units and the assumption of debt.

In connection with the Liberty Transaction and the related Form S-4, on December 19, 2019, Liberty and Liberty’s board of directors (the “Liberty Board”) were sued in a putative class action lawsuit, the McDonough Action, filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. On January 7, 2020, Liberty and the Liberty Board were sued in another putative class action lawsuit, the Yonchuk Action, filed in in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, in connection with the Liberty Transaction and the related Form S-4. The complaints in the McDonough Action and Yonchuk Action allege that Liberty and the Liberty Board violated federal securities laws by omitting material information from the Form S-4, rendering the Form S-4 materially deficient.

In both outstanding actions, the plaintiffs seek, among other things, (i) rescission of the transaction and/or (ii) damages, and (iii) attorneys' fees and costs in connection with these lawsuits. Although the ultimate outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that these lawsuits are without merit and intend to defend against these actions vigorously.
