October&nbsp;9, 2013, DCT Industrial Operating Partnership LP (the &#147;Operating Partnership&#148;), the operating partnership of DCT Industrial Trust Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;), issued $275.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.500%
Senior Notes due 2023 (the &#147;Notes&#148;).&nbsp;The Notes were issued by the Operating Partnership at an initial offering price of 99.038% of their face value. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The net proceeds of this offering are estimated to be approximately $269.6 million after deducting the discount of the initial purchasers of
the Notes (collectively, the &#147;Initial Purchasers&#148;) and estimated offering expenses.&nbsp;The Operating Partnership intends to use the net proceeds of the offering to repay existing indebtedness, including a $175.0 million senior unsecured
term loan maturing in February 2015, $50.0 million of senior unsecured notes maturing in January 2014 and borrowings under the Operating Partnership&#146;s revolving credit facility, and for general corporate purposes.&nbsp;The offer and sale of the
Notes was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;Securities Act&#148;), and the Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration
requirements.&nbsp;The Operating Partnership offered and sold the Notes to the Initial Purchasers in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section&nbsp;4(a)(2)&nbsp;of the Securities Act.&nbsp;The Initial Purchasers have agreed to
resell the Notes to qualified institutional buyers in the United States pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule&nbsp;144A under the Securities Act and to certain non-U.S. persons located outside the United States in reliance on
Regulation S under the Securities Act.</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The terms of the Notes are governed by an indenture, dated as of October&nbsp;9, 2013, by and among
the Company, the Operating Partnership and all of our wholly owned subsidiaries that guarantee borrowings under the Operating Partnership&#146;s revolving credit facility (the &#147;Subsidiary Guarantors&#148;), and U.S. Bank National Association,
as trustee (the &#147;Indenture&#148;).&nbsp;The Notes mature on October&nbsp;15, 2023, and accrue interest at a rate of 4.500%&nbsp;per annum, payable semi-annually on April&nbsp;15 and October&nbsp;15 of each year, commencing April&nbsp;15, 2014.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Notes will be initially guaranteed by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors. In addition, the Operating Partnership will cause
any consolidated subsidiary (including any future subsidiary) that guarantees indebtedness of the Operating Partnership for money borrowed in an amount greater than $5.0 million at any time after the issuance of the Notes to also guarantee the
Notes. The guarantors will jointly and severally guarantee the Operating Partnership&#146;s obligations under the Notes, on a senior unsecured basis. A guarantor will be automatically released from its guarantee if, among other things, it ceases to
guarantee the Operating Partnership&#146;s indebtedness for money borrowed in an amount greater than $5.0 million. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Prior to July 17,
2023, the Operating Partnership may redeem the Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at its option, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1)&nbsp;100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed or (2)&nbsp;the
sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the redemption date) discounted to the redemption date, on a semi-annual basis
(assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at an adjusted treasury rate plus 30 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the applicable redemption date; provided, however, that if
the redemption date falls after a record date and on or prior to the corresponding interest payment date, the Operating Partnership will pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest, if any (plus additional interest, if applicable), on such
interest payment date to the holder of record at the close of business on the corresponding record date (instead of the holder surrendering its notes for redemption).&nbsp;Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Notes are redeemed on or after 90 days
prior to the maturity date, the redemption price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the applicable redemption date. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Indenture contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit the Operating
Partnership&#146;s and its subsidiaries&#146; ability to incur secured and unsecured indebtedness if not in compliance with the following financial covenants: (1)&nbsp;a total leverage ratio not to exceed 60%, (2)&nbsp;a secured debt leverage ratio
not to exceed 40% and (3)&nbsp;a fixed charge coverage of at least 1.50. In addition, the Operating Partnership is required to maintain at all times total unencumbered assets of not less than 150% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of its
unsecured debt. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In connection with the issuance and sale of the Notes, the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Subsidiary
Guarantors also entered into a registration rights agreement with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, in their capacity as representatives of the Initial Purchasers, dated as of October&nbsp;9,
2013 (the &#147;Registration Rights Agreement&#148;). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Operating Partnership agreed to use
commercially reasonable efforts to complete an exchange offer registered under the Securities Act pursuant to which the Operating Partnership will offer to issue new exchange notes containing terms identical to the Notes (except that the new
exchange notes will not be subject to transfer restrictions or any increase in annual interest rate) in exchange for the Notes. The Operating Partnership also agreed, if it determines that a registered exchange offer is not available or specified
other circumstances occur, to use commercially reasonable efforts to file and have become effective a shelf registration statement relating to resales of the Notes. The Operating Partnership will be obligated to pay additional interest of up to
0.50%&nbsp;per annum on the Notes if it does not complete the exchange offer within 270 days after the issue date of the notes and in other specified circumstances. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Copies of the Indenture, the form of the Notes and the Registration Rights Agreement are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as
Exhibits 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing descriptions of the Indenture, the Notes and the Registration Rights Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the

Senior Notes Offering
On
October 9, 2013, DCT Industrial Operating Partnership LP (the "Operating Partnership"), the operating partnership of DCT Industrial Trust Inc. (the "Company"), issued $275.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.500%
Senior Notes due 2023 (the "Notes"). The Notes were issued by the Operating Partnership at an initial offering price of 99.038% of their face value.
The net proceeds of this offering are estimated to be approximately $269.6 million after deducting the discount of the initial purchasers of
the Notes (collectively, the "Initial Purchasers") and estimated offering expenses. The Operating Partnership intends to use the net proceeds of the offering to repay existing indebtedness, including a $175.0 million senior unsecured
term loan maturing in February 2015, $50.0 million of senior unsecured notes maturing in January 2014 and borrowings under the Operating Partnership's revolving credit facility, and for general corporate purposes. The offer and sale of the
Notes was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and the Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration
requirements. The Operating Partnership offered and sold the Notes to the Initial Purchasers in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Initial Purchasers have agreed to
resell the Notes to qualified institutional buyers in the United States pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to certain non-U.S. persons located outside the United States in reliance on
Regulation S under the Securities Act.
The terms of the Notes are governed by an indenture, dated as of October 9, 2013, by and among
the Company, the Operating Partnership and all of our wholly owned subsidiaries that guarantee borrowings under the Operating Partnership's revolving credit facility (the "Subsidiary Guarantors"), and U.S. Bank National Association,
as trustee (the "Indenture"). The Notes mature on October 15, 2023, and accrue interest at a rate of 4.500% per annum, payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing April 15, 2014.
The Notes will be initially guaranteed by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors. In addition, the Operating Partnership will cause
any consolidated subsidiary (including any future subsidiary) that guarantees indebtedness of the Operating Partnership for money borrowed in an amount greater than $5.0 million at any time after the issuance of the Notes to also guarantee the
Notes. The guarantors will jointly and severally guarantee the Operating Partnership's obligations under the Notes, on a senior unsecured basis. A guarantor will be automatically released from its guarantee if, among other things, it ceases to
guarantee the Operating Partnership's indebtedness for money borrowed in an amount greater than $5.0 million.
Prior to July 17,
2023, the Operating Partnership may redeem the Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at its option, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed or (2) the
sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the redemption date) discounted to the redemption date, on a semi-annual basis
(assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at an adjusted treasury rate plus 30 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the applicable redemption date; provided, however, that if
the redemption date falls after a record date and on or prior to the corresponding interest payment date, the Operating Partnership will pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest, if any (plus additional interest, if applicable), on such
interest payment date to the holder of record at the close of business on the corresponding record date (instead of the holder surrendering its notes for redemption). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Notes are redeemed on or after 90 days
prior to the maturity date, the redemption price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the applicable redemption date.
2
The Indenture contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit the Operating
Partnership's and its subsidiaries' ability to incur secured and unsecured indebtedness if not in compliance with the following financial covenants: (1) a total leverage ratio not to exceed 60%, (2) a secured debt leverage ratio
not to exceed 40% and (3) a fixed charge coverage of at least 1.50. In addition, the Operating Partnership is required to maintain at all times total unencumbered assets of not less than 150% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of its
unsecured debt.
In connection with the issuance and sale of the Notes, the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Subsidiary
Guarantors also entered into a registration rights agreement with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, in their capacity as representatives of the Initial Purchasers, dated as of October 9,
2013 (the "Registration Rights Agreement").
Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Operating Partnership agreed to use
commercially reasonable efforts to complete an exchange offer registered under the Securities Act pursuant to which the Operating Partnership will offer to issue new exchange notes containing terms identical to the Notes (except that the new
exchange notes will not be subject to transfer restrictions or any increase in annual interest rate) in exchange for the Notes. The Operating Partnership also agreed, if it determines that a registered exchange offer is not available or specified
other circumstances occur, to use commercially reasonable efforts to file and have become effective a shelf registration statement relating to resales of the Notes. The Operating Partnership will be obligated to pay additional interest of up to
0.50% per annum on the Notes if it does not complete the exchange offer within 270 days after the issue date of the notes and in other specified circumstances.
Copies of the Indenture, the form of the Notes and the Registration Rights Agreement are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as
Exhibits 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing descriptions of the Indenture, the Notes and the Registration Rights Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the
