Fir Tree Partners Encourages PEPR to Secure a Higher Price for Minority Unitholders

By Fir Tree Partners, PRNE
Thursday, May 5, 2011

LUXEMBOURG, May 6, 2011 - Fir Tree Partners, a private investment firm that owns approximately
4.94% of the Units of ProLogis European Properties FCP, yesterday sent the
following letter to ProLogis and ProLogis European Properties management:

    5 May 2011

    ProLogis Management s.a.r.l.
    in its capacity as management company of PEPR (as defined hereafter)
    34-38 Avenue de la Liberte

    Attention: Mr. Geoffrey Bell
    Chairman of the Board
    ProLogis European Properties
    780 3rd Avenue, 10th Floor
    New York, NY 10017-7053

Dear Peter and Geoffrey,

We are writing to you on behalf of Fir Tree Partners and its
affiliated funds (collectively Fir Tree) with respect to the public tender
offer made by PLD International LLC (PLD) on 22 April 2011 (the Tender Offer)
for all of the outstanding ordinary and preferred units in ProLogis European
Properties FCP (PEPR).

Fir Tree strongly believes that the terms of the Tender Offer,
in particular the determination of the offer price (the Offer Price), are not
in the best interests of PEPR and/or its unitholders as the Offer Price
significantly undervalues PEPR's units and allows PLD to take advantage of
its affiliate status to the detriment of the other PEPR unitholders. We are
dismayed by the apparent reluctance of the Board of PEPR to pursue
value-enhancing alternatives on behalf of PEPR's minority unitholders and
strongly urge you to take active steps to secure the best possible price for
unitholders, including holding direct negotiations with ProLogis and/or
taking the appropriate steps with regulatory authorities, such as requesting
the CSSF to review the fairness of the tender price. As you know, the members
of the PEPR Board and of the board of directors of ProLogis Management
s.a.r.l. (collectively the Board), and in particular the independent
directors of the PEPR Board, have a fiduciary duty and obligation to act in
the best interests of PEPR and in a manner consistent with maximizing value
for all unitholders. Sitting still while acknowledging that the Tender Offer
undervalues the company is simply not an option and, in fact, is an
abrogation of your fiduciary duty.

Fairness of Tender Offer Price

By way of background, on 27 April 2011, Fir Tree sent a letter
to PLD (Enclosure 1) stating the PLD Tender Offer significantly undervalues
PEPR's units. Fir Tree noted that the Offer Price was at a discount to EPRA
net asset value and that a fair offer should compensate unitholders (other
than PLD) for giving up the value of PEPR's future growth prospects. Fir Tree
reminded the PEPR Board of their fiduciary duty and obligation to act in the
best interests of PEPR and in a manner consistent with maximizing value for
all unitholders. Fir Tree strongly suggested in its letter that the offer be
revised using best business practice and valuation methods to ensure that the
holders of units are treated fairly, are afforded a fair price for their
units, and are given a genuine opportunity to make an informed decision with
respect to the PLD Tender Offer.

Supporting Fir Tree's view that the Offer Price undervalues
the units, on 3 May 2011, ProLogis Management s.a.r.l., in its capacity as
management company of PEPR (the Management Company) released its opinion that
the Offer Price was, from a financial point of view, inadequate to the
unitholders (see www.prologis-ep.com/pepr/storage/2011-05-03.pdf). In
reaching this view, the Management Company also considered the opinion dated
29 April 2011 provided by Deutsche Bank to the Management Company that, from
a financial point of view, the Offer Price is inadequate to the unitholders.

Fir Tree continues to be dismayed by PLD's failure to focus on
the fundamental valuation issue. In its press release dated 3 May 2011 PLD
chooses not to comment on the inadequacy of the Offer Price, which is the
fundamental issue, but rather to suggest that it is benevolently providing
liquidity to the unitholders. Of course, PLD fails to acknowledge that such
"liquidity" comes at a discount to the fair value of the units and leaves
unitholders who choose not to tender holding a more illiquid security with
fewer fundamental investor rights. Far from doing unitholders a favor, PLD is
forcing us to choose between inadequate cash consideration and an uncertain
future as a minority unitholder.

In order for you to fully appreciate the material discrepancy
between the Offer Price and the fair value for the units of the Fund, we have
attached our internal analysis of the appropriate valuation of the units
(Enclosure 2). It clearly shows that the Tender Offer price significantly
undervalues PEPR units on a variety of metrics compared to other
publicly-traded European real estate securities.

Coercive Tender Offer and Timing of Tender Offer Period

In addition to our valuation concerns, we are also troubled by
the coercive nature of the Tender Offer, the lack of transparency throughout
the process, and the minimal amount of time to evaluate the Tender Offer.

First, we are particularly troubled by the coercive nature of
the Tender Offer. PLD currently owns approximately 39% of the units and, as
the Management Company notes in its opinion, the liquidity and marketability
of any units not tendered may be impacted as a result of the Tender Offer. If
PLD acquires at least 50% of the Ordinary Units, it will be able to approve
or block certain important decisions of the general meeting of unitholders
and, if PLD acquires at least 67% of the Ordinary Units, it will be able to
approve or block certain fundamental investor rights, including the amendment
of the Management Regulations, the removal of the Management Company without
cause and the winding-up of PEPR. One must question the Management Company's
commitment to creating value for minority unitholders in light of the fact
that no dividends have been paid recently or will likely be paid in the
foreseeable future. We believe that PLD has created a "prisoner's dilemma"
choice for unitholders by creating a situation where a unitholder that is
considering not tendering into the Tender Offer risks effectively losing all
fundamental investor rights if PLD is able to acquire 67% of the Ordinary
Units (particularly where PLD holds less than 90% of the Ordinary Units).

Second, while PLD appears to be trying to focus unitholder's
attention to the recent trading price of the units, the Board has made
minimal effort to disclose to unitholders the future growth opportunities
that they would be foregoing by tendering their units. We find it odd that
you would take a stance on the adequacy of the consideration without telling
us what you think is the fair value of the units and your plan for realizing
that value. From our perspective, in order for unitholders to properly
evaluate the Tender Offer, PEPR should publicly release all relevant
information relating to the value of the Units, including management plans
for PEPR and the analysis prepared by Deutsche Bank. We believe that this
information is critical to truly understanding the Tender Offer and,
ultimately, the value of PEPR.

Finally, we are very concerned that PLD has given unitholders
only a minimal amount of time to consider the Tender Offer. When the Tender
Offer commenced, it was open only for two weeks, the shortest period
permitted under the law of 19 May 2006 on public takeover bids. On 3 May
2011
, the Tender Offer was extended for an additional five days, apparently
in recognition that there was inadequate time to evaluate the Management
Company's opinion. From our perspective, unitholders (and the appropriate
regulators) should have sufficient time to evaluate the terms of the Tender
Offer and concerns raised by the Management Company's opinion and interested
unitholder's concerns. We do not believe that the current period gives
unitholders sufficient time to properly evaluate these issues.

In any take-private transaction, we believe that fundamental
fairness and good corporate governance demand full transparency, sufficient
time to evaluate the offer and a lack of coercion. We believe that these
elements are lacking in the current situation. Therefore, in addition to
addressing the inadequate Tender Offer price, we urge the Board to use all of
its powers to ensure that the Tender Offer period is extended so as to give
all unitholders sufficient time and information to enable them to reach a
properly informed decision.

                            *   *    *   *   *   *

In summary, we believe that the terms of the Tender Offer, in
particular, the determination of the Offer Price, are not in the best
interests of PEPR and/or its unitholders. We have not seen any evidence that
the Board is taking active steps to secure the best possible price for
unitholders.

We hope that you take your fiduciary duties seriously and take
all steps necessary to secure the best possible value for all unitholders
(other than PLD).

Yours sincerely,

    Aman Kapadia
    Director

Dear Sirs:

We write to you on behalf of Fir Tree Partners (Fir Tree) with
respect to the public tender offer made by PLD International LLC (PLD) on 21
April 2011
(the PLD Tender Offer) for all of the outstanding ordinary and
preferred units in ProLogis European Properties FCP (PEPR or the Fund). Fir
Tree Partners is a private investment firm formed in 1994 that manages over
$6.5 billion in assets. Funds managed by Fir Tree hold over 8.2 million
ordinary units, representing approximately 4.3% of the ordinary units of
PEPR, and over 180,000 preferred units. We believe that the PLD Tender Offer
is not in the best interests of PEPR or its unitholders because it does not
constitute fair value for the units of the Fund.

Fir Tree believes that the PLD Tender Offer significantly
undervalues PEPR units. The PLD Tender Offer has been made at a discount to
the Net Asset Value (NAV) of euro 6.32 per unit determined pursuant to
European Real Estate Association (EPRA) standards (the EPRA NAV), which is
the valuation metric that PEPR itself uses with respect to its assets (and
which is deemed to be best practice for publicly-listed European entities).
In an M&A context, buyers typically pay a premium to underlying asset value
to reflect the value of control and of synergies that they may achieve. Fir
Tree believes that the true value of the units is higher than EPRA NAV, since
EPRA NAV is a backward-looking estimate that uses current trough-cycle rents
and penalizes the Fund for short lease terms. Given the improvement of the
global economy and the fact that very little new supply has been created in
the last three years, we anticipate that going forward PEPR will realize
outsized rental growth compared to the market as a result of its shorter
lease breaks. A fair offer should compensate unitholders (other than PLD) for
giving up this future growth.

While the offer document suggests that PLD also considered the
IFRS NAV of euro 5.62 per unit, Fir Tree does not believe that IFRS NAV is an
accurate representation of the value of the units either as the Fund itself
has suggested in its release dated 24 January 2011 that the underlying
economic impact of the recent change in deferred tax liability is only euro
0.08
per unit rather than the nearly euro 0.70 per unit implied by the IFRS
NAV.

PLD also notes that its tender offer represents a premium to
the unaffected closing price of the units. We believe that the previous
trading price is not a valid indicator of value because PEPR's price was
artificially held down by the Fund's refusal to reinstate the regular
dividend. Until recently, PEPR was one of the cheapest publicly-traded real
estate entities in Europe on a number of different metrics despite having a
very young portfolio located in key barrier markets, an impressive list of
tenants, market-leading occupancy levels, and a conservative leverage
profile. The only possible reason for the gap between the NAV and trading
price of PEPR units is that PEPR is one of a handful of listed entities that
does not pay a dividend.

Finally, we would like to remind the members of the PEPR Board
and of the board of directors of ProLogis Management s.a.r.l. (collectively
the Board), and in particular of the independent directors of the PEPR Board,
of their fiduciary duty and obligation to act in the best interests of PEPR
and in a manner consistent with maximizing value for all unitholders. We are
concerned about the conflicts of interest inherent in PLD's position as both
(i) the controlling shareholder of ProLogis Management s.a.r.l., the external
manager of the Fund and (ii) a potential acquirer. It is not lost on us that
PLD has increased its ownership of PEPR units twice after suspending the
dividend, both times at a discount to EPRA NAV. Given this conflict, it is
curious that the offer document invites ProLogis Management s.a.r.l. to give
its advice on the PLD Tender Offer despite the fact that it is a related
party.

In light of the above, we believe that the offer should be
revised using best business practice and valuation methods to ensure that the
holders of units are treated fairly, are afforded a fair price for their
units, and are given a genuine opportunity to make an informed decision with
respect to the PLD Tender Offer.

We strongly express our hope that the Board understands and
takes its fiduciary duties seriously in seeking out the best possible outcome
for all the unitholders. While we are prepared to be accommodating to help
the process, we respectfully reserve all our rights in respect of the PLD
Tender Offer. In particular, we reserve the right to resort to the competent
authorities, the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier and the
Authority for the Financial Markets, to take action and determine the fair
price for the units, which we believe would result in a higher value being
paid to unitholders than the current price. In addition, we have serious
doubts that the tender offer constitutes a proper tender offer governed by
the Luxembourg law of 19 May 2006, since such law per se only applies to
incorporated entities, not to entities like PEPR, which is a fonds commun de
placement lacking legal personality of its own.

Yours sincerely,

    (sig)
