Prologis, Inc. (PLD) announced on June 24, 2026, that it had made an indicative all-share proposal to acquire SEGRO plc.
This proposal, outlined in a letter sent on June 16, 2026, aimed to acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of SEGRO in an all-stock transaction. However, the Board of SEGRO unequivocally rejected this proposal on June 23, 2026. Prologis is now under pressure from UK takeover regulations to either confirm its intention to make a firm offer or abandon the pursuit by July 22, 2026.
The company is encouraging SEGRO shareholders to urge their Board to engage further, potentially allowing a binding offer to be presented for consideration. Investors should monitor this situation closely for potential strategic implications and future announcements regarding the potential combination.
