Sign InIn a decisive move for the real estate sector's largest pending deal, Prologis has increased its takeover bid for Segro to £14 billion, characterizing the proposal as its 'best and final' offer. According to reports, the revised bid represents a 9.5% improvement over the initial proposal, offering shareholders 0.092 new Prologis shares for every Segro share held. Crucially, the offer now includes a £3.5 billion partial cash alternative to entice investors following Segro's previous rejections.
The improved terms follow public pressure from shareholders like CCLA Investment Management, who urged Segro to engage in meaningful talks to secure maximum value. Per market data, Segro's shares (0KOD.L) closed at $149.56 on July 21, 2026, having traded between a session low of $144.31 and a high of $149.62. The introduction of a substantial cash component marks a strategic shift to overcome previous valuation hurdles and finalize the consolidation.
Traders should closely watch for a regulatory decision regarding Prologis's request to extend the 'put up or shut up' deadline, which will dictate the next phase for 0KOD.L, last priced at $149.56 as of July 21, 2026. Additionally, the broader economic environment remains relevant, with UK GDP having grown by 0.1% as of July 16, 2026, providing the fundamental backdrop for this industrial real estate play.
