NOTE 2. LIBERTY TRANSACTION

 

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, the assumption of debt of $2.8 billion and 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.

 

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

We accounted for the Liberty Transaction as an asset acquisition and as a result, the transaction costs of $115.8 million 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 and related lease intangibles on a relative fair value basis. All other assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including debt, and real estate assets that we do not intend to operate long-term were recorded at fair value as follows (in millions):
