All other content on this page is deterministically > extracted from the original SEC filing. > Prologis Inc. removed its pandemic risk disclosure from the 2024 10-K, reflecting a reduced emphasis on global pandemic impacts to its business operations. The company substantively enhanced three risk factor disclosures, notably strengthening language around cybersecurity threats, climate change regulatory exposure, and geopolitical risks across its global operations. These changes represent a strategic shift in risk prioritization from acute pandemic concerns toward longer-term structural risks including climate compliance, operational technology vulnerabilities, and international business complexities. --- ## Summary | Status | Count | |--------|-------| | New risks added | 0 | | Risks removed | 1 | | Risks modified | 3 | | Unchanged | 25 | --- ## No Match in Current: Our business may be materially and adversely affected by the impact of global pandemics. *This section from the 2023 filing does not have a high-confidence textual match in 2024. It may have been removed, merged, or substantially reworded.* We cannot predict the extent to which global pandemics may impact our business and operating results and that of our co-investment ventures, but their impact may include the following: 20 Table of Contents Table of Contents • Existing customers and potential customers of our logistics facilities may be adversely affected by the decrease in economic activity, which in turn could disrupt their business and their ability to enter into new leasing transactions or satisfy rental payments; • Existing customers and potential customers of our logistics facilities may be adversely affected by the decrease in economic activity, which in turn could disrupt their business and their ability to enter into new leasing transactions or satisfy rental payments; • Government, labor or other restrictions may prevent us from completing the development or leasing of properties currently under development or making our properties ready for our customers to move in; • Government, labor or other restrictions may prevent us from completing the development or leasing of properties currently under development or making our properties ready for our customers to move in; • Our ability to recover our investments in real estate assets may be impacted by current market conditions; • Our ability to recover our investments in real estate assets may be impacted by current market conditions; • Increases in material costs as a result of labor shortages and supply chain disruptions may make the development of properties more costly than we originally budgeted; and • Increases in material costs as a result of labor shortages and supply chain disruptions may make the development of properties more costly than we originally budgeted; and • Our workforce, including our executives, may become ill or have difficulty working remotely, caring for our properties and/or customers. • Our workforce, including our executives, may become ill or have difficulty working remotely, caring for our properties and/or customers. Any prolonged economic downturn, escalation of the outbreak or disruption in the financial markets may also impact our ability to access capital markets to issue debt or equity securities and to complete real estate transactions at attractive pricing or at all. These items may materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and real estate values. --- ## Modified: Our business and operations could suffer in the event of system failures or cybersecurity attacks. **Key changes:** - Reworded sentence: "Despite system redundancy, the implementation of security measures and the existence of a disaster recovery plan for our internal and hosted information technology systems, our systems are vulnerable to damages from any number of sources, including energy blackouts, natural disasters, terrorism, war, telecommunication failures and cybersecurity attacks, such as malware, ransomware, or unauthorized access." - Reworded sentence: "Third-party security events at vendors, sub-processors, and service providers could also impact our data and operations via unauthorized access to information or disruption of services which may ultimately result in losses." **Prior (2023):** Despite system redundancy, the implementation of security measures and the existence of a disaster recovery plan for our internal and hosted information technology systems, our systems are vulnerable to damages from any number of sources, including energy blackouts, natural disasters, terrorism, war, telecommunication failures and cyber security attacks, such as malware, ransomware, or unauthorized access. Any system failure or accident that causes interruptions in our operations could result in a material disruption to our business. We may incur additional costs to remedy damages caused by such disruptions. Third-party security events at vendors, sub-processors, and service providers could also impact our data and operations via unauthorized access to information or disruption of services which may ultimately result in financial losses. Despite training, detection systems and response procedures, an increase in email attacks (phishing and business email compromise) may create disruption to our business and financial risk. Although security incidents have had an insignificant financial impact on our operating results, the growing frequency of attempts may lead to increased costs to protect the company and respond to any events, including additional personnel, consultants and protection technologies. Any compromise of our security could result in a violation of applicable privacy and other laws, unauthorized access to information of ours and others, significant legal and financial exposure, damage to our reputation, loss or misuse of the information and a loss of confidence in our security measures, which could harm our business. Additionally, remediation costs for security events may not be covered by our insurance. **Current (2024):** Despite system redundancy, the implementation of security measures and the existence of a disaster recovery plan for our internal and hosted information technology systems, our systems are vulnerable to damages from any number of sources, including energy blackouts, natural disasters, terrorism, war, telecommunication failures and cybersecurity attacks, such as malware, ransomware, or unauthorized access.

Our logistics facilities and the global supply chain may be exposed to catastrophic weather events, such as severe storms, fires or floods. If the frequency of extreme weather events increases, our exposure to these events could increase. We may also be adversely impacted by transition risks, such as potential impacts to the supply chain as a real estate developer or changes in laws and regulations, such as stricter energy efficiency standards or greenhouse gas regulations for the commercial building sectors. We cannot give any assurance that other such conditions do not exist or may not arise in the future. The potential impacts of future climate change on our real estate properties could adversely affect our ability to lease, develop or sell such properties or to borrow using such properties as collateral. 21 Table of Contents Table of Contents **Current (2024):** We are also exposed to physical risks from changes in climate.
