Prologis Makes Third Bid for Segro with £13.5 Billion Offer Amid Shareholder Appeal
  • Prologis has disclosed a third takeover proposal for Segro valued at about 13.5 billion pounds, or 993 pence per share, with the latest bid raising the offer to 9.93 pounds per share and a mix of 0.0890 new Prologis shares for each Segro share plus a cash option of up to 2.7 billion pounds.

  • The bid represents roughly a 34% premium to Segro’s closing price on the day before the offer became public and places a premium of about 33.8% to Segro’s undisturbed pre-offer share price, while also marking a 9.7% premium to Segro’s pro forma NAV as of June 2026.

  • Segro has consistently rejected Prologis’ approaches, with no immediate comment from Segro cited in the report.

  • Jefferies notes that Prologis must either announce a firm intention to make an offer or walk away by July 22, or the Takeover Panel may extend the deadline.

  • Under City takeover rules, Prologis has until 5pm on July 22 to deliver a firm bid or exit the process.

  • Prologis flags a possible secondary listing of its shares on the London Stock Exchange if the deal proceeds and investor demand supports it.

  • Any London listing would be contingent on pursuing the deal and board engagement from Segro.

  • Analysts from Jefferies say Prologis emphasizes its own momentum and expanding data-center pipeline, challenging Segro’s standalone valuation assumptions.

  • Prologis argues the new offer delivers upfront value, greater flexibility, and long-term upside, while criticizing Segro’s standalone plan as requiring flawless execution and costly external funding.

  • If completed, the proposed takeover would be the largest ever of a publicly listed European property company.

  • The bid comes amid a period of declining Segro shares since their 2021 peak, with the stock sliding from above 14 pounds to just over 6 pounds, framing a volatile context for the deal.

  • Segro has rejected Prologis’ prior bids, and the latest sweetened proposal prompted Prologis to appeal directly to Segro’s shareholders under UK takeover rules that require a firm offer by July 22 or walk away.
