Prologis Inc. (US74340W1036) has confirmed a £12.6 billion all-share proposal for UK warehouse landlord Segro, putting the NYSE-listed logistics REIT at the center of one of Europe’s largest recent real estate takeover attempts, according to Reuters and company statements. Reuters coverage of the Segro bid The offer, framed as a strategic move in European logistics and data center infrastructure, was rejected by Segro’s board, but Prologis is now appealing directly to shareholders under UK takeover rules.

What Reuters and peers report

According to Reuters, Prologis has taken public its £12.6 billion (about $16.6 billion) all-share takeover proposal after Segro’s board rejected the approach, arguing that the FTSE 100 group trades at a persistent discount to its net asset value and faces balance sheet constraints that limit its growth options. Reuters coverage of the Segro bid The indicative terms offer Segro investors 0.084 new Prologis shares for each Segro share, implying a value of around 925 pence per Segro share based on a Prologis closing price of roughly $145.30, which represents a premium of about 24.6 percent to Segro’s prior 742 pence close, as highlighted by Bloomberg and UK specialist outlets.

Strategic logic behind the Segro move

In its justification, Prologis argues that Segro’s portfolio of European logistics warehouses and data center development sites would complement its own global platform, which already spans major logistics corridors in North America, Europe and Asia. Reuters coverage of the Segro bid The company emphasizes that its scale and balance sheet could, in its view, unlock what it calls “significant embedded value” in Segro’s development and artificial-intelligence-related data center pipeline, positioning the enlarged group to benefit from sustained demand for modern logistics and digital infrastructure in Europe.
