SAN FRANCISCO, July 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ --

Introduction

Following submission of our latest proposal, senior representatives of Prologis, Inc. ("Prologis") met with SEGRO plc ("SEGRO") management in London on Sunday. Having submitted a revised proposal only days earlier, the purpose of that meeting was not to present a further revised offer, but rather to understand whether there was a credible path to a transaction capable of recommendation by the SEGRO Board.

We were disappointed that the discussion did not provide meaningful clarity regarding the matters that would enable further progress.

SEGRO's aspirational valuation

Prologis is very active across the real estate markets in Europe. Prologis' assessment of SEGRO's value is grounded in the quality of its real estate and our expectations for its long-term performance. SEGRO's total property portfolio as at 31 December 2025 was valued at £19.0 billion. Of this, £16.7 billion was categorised as completed assets at an EPRA Net Initial Yield of 4.2 per cent. At market close on 20 July 2026 the UK 10-year Gilt had risen to 5.04 per cent.

In SEGRO's Trading Update published on 8 July 2026, it outlined that NAV had declined from 925 pence per share to 905 pence per share over the six months to 30 June 2026. The NAV reflects SEGRO's independent valuers' assessment of the value of all development land and property assets owned by SEGRO as at 30 June 2026. It is very unusual for a real estate defence document to publish a declining NAV during an offer period.

SEGRO has consistently traded at a significant discount to its EPRA NTA.  As set out in our presentation published on 20 July 2026, Prologis believes this is not because of temporary market dislocation, the conflict in the Middle East or other factors cited by the SEGRO Board, but because the consensus forecast earnings for SEGRO on a standalone basis imply only 4.7 per cent annual growth over the next three years and 6.4 per cent through 2030, based on SEGRO's guidance 2030 EPS of 50 pence per share. The market requires a much better growth outlook to trade at EPRA NTA. SEGRO has not been able to raise its standalone forecast beyond this growth rate. That is because it has £16.7 billion of completed assets fully valued at an EPRA Net Initial Yield of 4.2 per cent.

Based on the see-through value of the proposal announced on 20 July 2026 of 993 pence per share, Prologis is offering SEGRO shareholders a 9.7 per cent premium to its latest pro forma adjusted NAV of 905 pence per share. This would be amongst the highest premiums to NAV paid for a UK real estate company in the last 10 years. It also represents the entry point into an exchange offer, that will allow SEGRO shareholders to benefit from Prologis superior earnings growth, liquidity, and rating than we believe they will receive from SEGRO standalone.

Prologis believes that the SEGRO defence relies on unrealistic risk assessments and assumptions to arrive at the various NAV uplifts and earnings projections. Even if we assume earnings of 50 pence per share in 2030, as set out in its presentation dated 8 July 2026, taking SEGRO's latest undisturbed share price to earnings multiple of 19.3x, this implies an undiscounted share price for SEGRO of 964 pence in four years' time. We are offering SEGRO shareholders more than that today.

Conclusions

The SEGRO Board rejected our March 2024 Proposal in 72 hours, saying "we see no merit in the proposed combination". Prologis believes that decision has left SEGRO shareholders 36.5 per cent worse off. We believe the SEGRO Board is repeating that mistake.

Prologis remains convinced that a combination would create substantial long-term value. However, highly disciplined capital allocation has always been fundamental to our strategy and our responsibility to Prologis shareholders.

We remain ready to engage constructively at any time in the interests of all shareholders.

There can be no certainty that an offer for SEGRO will be made. A further announcement will be made as appropriate.

These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the industry and markets in which Prologis and SEGRO operate as well as management's beliefs and assumptions. Such statements involve uncertainties that could significantly impact Prologis' or SEGRO's financial results. Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "believes," "would," "could," "should" and "estimates," including variations of such words and similar expressions, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature.
