Monitor regulatory clearance timelines (EU, UK CMA, Italy, UK NSIA) and shareholder vote outcomes. The secondary listing of Prologis shares on the LSE is a key condition. Watch for any competing bids or activist pressure given the large premium. Post-close, focus on integration execution and synergy realization to validate the strategic thesis.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Prologis (PLD) announced a recommended all-share offer with a partial cash alternative to acquire SEGRO plc, valuing SEGRO at approximately £14.0 billion ($18.7B).

The transaction is dilutive to Prologis shareholders (8.9% dilution assuming full cash take-up) but expected to be neutral to minimally dilutive to Core FFO and AFFO in the first full year post-close.
