On May 3, 2015, DCT Industrial Trust Inc. (the Company)
determined that it had been the victim of a criminal fraud. The incident involved the impersonation of the Companys Chief Executive Officer and fraudulent requests from an outside entity targeting the Companys finance department,
resulting in the transfer by the Company of $6.1 million to third-party overseas accounts. The Company self-discovered this fraudulent activity and promptly initiated contact with its bank and federal law enforcement authorities. As a result of
these efforts, the Company has recovered $3.0 million of the amounts transferred. The Company is cooperating with law enforcement authorities investigation and continuing to pursue the recovery of the remaining $3.1 million.
Based on its initial internal investigations and preliminary review by outside experts, the Company currently believes this is an isolated
event and has no reason to believe its technology systems have been compromised, or that corporate data has been exposed.
The Company
anticipates recording a one-time charge relating to any loss from this incident in the second quarter of 2015 and also expects to incur other near-term expenses in connection with the investigation of this incident. The ultimate financial impact
will depend, in part, on the Companys success in its efforts to recover the remainder of the funds and pursue potential insurance claims.
The Companys internal investigation of this matter and law enforcement actions are ongoing.
