Monitor regulatory approvals and SEGRO shareholder vote as key milestones. The deal's strategic rationale (scale, cross-border growth, energy/digital infrastructure) supports a positive long-term view, but near-term FFO dilution and integration risks warrant caution. Watch for any competing bids or regulatory pushback, especially given the size and cross-border nature.
