ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.

        On May 24, 2000, AMB Property, L.P., in which we are the sole general
partner, entered into a $500 million unsecured revolving credit agreement that
replaces its previous $500 million credit facility that was to mature in
November 2000. We are a guarantor of AMB Property, L.P.'s obligations under the
credit facility. The new credit facility is with Morgan Guaranty Trust Company
of New York, as administrative agent, Bank of America, N.A., as syndication
agent, The Chase Manhattan Bank, as document agent, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc.
and Banc of America Securities LLC, as joint lead arrangers and joint
bookmanagers, and a syndicate of other banks.

        The new credit facility matures in May 2003 and has a one-year extension
option. AMB Property, L.P. has the ability to increase available borrowings up
to $700 million by adding additional banks to the facility or obtaining the
agreement of existing banks to increase its commitments. The rate on the
borrowings will generally be LIBOR plus, based on the current credit rating of
AMB Property, L.P.'s long term debt, 75 basis points. In addition, there is a 15
basis point annual facility fee.

contracted to sell or to timely reinvest proceeds from any such divestitures,
risks and uncertainties affecting property development and construction
(including construction delays, cost overruns, our inability to obtain necessary

maintain our status as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, environmental uncertainties, risks related to natural
disasters, financial market fluctuations, changes in real estate and zoning laws
and increases in real property tax rates. Our success also depends upon economic
trends generally, including interest rates, income tax laws, governmental
regulation,
