Equity-Based Compensation Plans and Programs

Prologis Outperformance Plan (“POP”)

We allocate participation points or a percentage of the compensation pool to participants under our POP corresponding to three-year performance periods beginning every January 1. The fair value of the awards is measured at the grant date and amortized over the period from the grant date to the date at which the awards vest, which ranges from three to ten years. The performance hurdle (“Outperformance Hurdle”) at the end of the initial three-year performance period requires our three-year compound annualized total stockholder return (“TSR”) to exceed a threshold set at the three-year compound annualized TSR for the Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) US REIT Index for the same period plus 100 basis points. If the Outperformance Hurdle is met, a compensation pool will be formed equal to 3% of the excess value created, subject to a maximum as defined by each performance period. POP awards cannot be paid at a time when we meet the outperformance hurdle yet our absolute TSR is negative. If after seven years our absolute TSR has not been positive, the awards will be forfeited.

We granted participation points for the 2021 – 2023 performance period in January 2021, with a fair value of $30.3 million using a Monte Carlo valuation model that assumed a risk-free interest rate of 0.2% and an expected volatility of 30.5%. The 2021 – 2023 performance period has an absolute maximum cap of $100 million. If an award is earned at the end of the initial three-year performance period, then 20% of the POP award is paid at the end of the initial performance period and the remaining 80% is subject to additional seven-year cliff vesting. The 20% that is paid at the end of the initial three-year performance period is subject to an additional three-year holding requirement.

The Outperformance Hurdle was met for the 2018 – 2020 performance period, which resulted in awards being earned at December 31, 2020. Additionally, awards were earned at December 31, 2020 for prior performance periods related to the compensation pool in excess of the initial award based on the terms of the POP awards granted prior to 2018. Awards of $100.0 million for the 2018 – 2020 performance period and $35.7 million in the aggregate for the 2016 – 2018 and 2017 – 2019 performance periods were awarded in January 2021 in the form of common stock, restricted stock units, POP LTIP Units and LTIP Units. POP award activity is included in Summary of Award Activity below.

Other Equity-Based Compensation Plans and Programs

Our other equity-based compensation plans and programs include (i) the Prologis Promote Plan (“PPP”); (ii) the annual long-term incentive (“LTI”) equity award program (“Annual LTI Award”); and (iii) the annual bonus exchange program. Awards under these plans and programs may be issued in the form of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) or LTIP Units at the participant’s election. RSUs and LTIP Units are valued based on the market price of the Parent’s common stock on the date the award is granted and the grant date value is charged to compensation expense over the service period.
