SAN FRANCISCO, July 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Following constructive engagement with SEGRO plc's ("SEGRO") shareholders and the presentation published by SEGRO yesterday, Prologis, Inc. ("Prologis") today published a new investor presentation to help shareholders further assess the significant potential benefits of a combination of Prologis and SEGRO.

Prologis believes constructive engagement with Prologis remains the best path for the Board of SEGRO to maximise long-term value for SEGRO shareholders and wider stakeholders, for four compelling reasons:

1. Prologis brings both a superior platform and a larger data center opportunity
2. Prologis' platform creates advantages that cannot be replicated by SEGRO
3. SEGRO's public market valuation reflects its structural constraints
4. The strategic rationale is clear — constructive engagement creates the best outcome

1.  Prologis Brings Both a Superior Platform and a Larger Data Center Opportunity

Prologis has an established data center platform with end-to-end capabilities to convert power into data center value. It is staffed to deliver on the substantial data center opportunity with a dedicated data center team of 75+ people along with a 250+ person development team, 175+ person in-house energy team and a 35+ person procurement team. Prologis has a proven track record for execution, and monetisation from its data center platform.

Prologis' power pipeline of 5.8GW across approximately 30 projects (less than 1% of the Prologis portfolio) is either secured or in advanced stages, with a longer-term estimate of 10GW+ with meaningful potential upside and more than 150 projects with power applications under review. 

SEGRO shareholders have the opportunity to benefit from a more experienced, larger and better-capitalised data center platform that can capture and maximise the long-term value of both companies' data center pipelines as well as the upside from Prologis' broader embedded power potential.

2.  Prologis' Platform Creates Advantages That Cannot be Replicated by SEGRO

SEGRO's reliance on project-level joint ventures underscores the capital constraints it faces as a standalone company. Under these structures SEGRO shareholders will give away significant value and upside to joint venture partners while, unlike Prologis, not earning any fees or promotes that would amplify returns.

Prologis believes this highlights SEGRO's capital and capability deficiencies, giving away a share of the potential return to a partner, whilst constraining SEGRO's ability to deploy capital competitively at pace. The development activity within the Pure Data Center joint venture, and future joint ventures for fully fitted data center development per the strategy set out by SEGRO, is funded by high leverage at a loan-to-cost ratio of approximately 70%.

A combination with Prologis offers SEGRO shareholders a stronger path to value creation than project-level joint ventures. It would allow SEGRO shareholders to participate in the upside of SEGRO's pipeline while benefiting from Prologis' scaled, global platform, fortress balance sheet and established strategic capital platform.

3.  SEGRO's Public Market Valuation Reflects its Structural Constraints

SEGRO's portfolio value is transparent with third-party valuations carried out every six months. Based on its 31 December 2025 valuation, SEGRO's asset value comprised 88% completed assets and 12% development properties and land sites valued using the residual method.

SEGRO's consensus forecast earnings growth for the next three years is lacklustre, particularly in comparison to its European logistics peers. Based on analyst consensus, SEGRO's forecast EPS CAGR for the period from 2025 to 2028 is 4.7% compared to a 7.1% forecast EPS CAGR for European logistics peers. That growth outlook does not support a premium market valuation particularly given that SEGRO already trades on a much higher price to earnings ratio than its European logistics peers.

Prologis notes SEGRO management's new adjusted earnings guidance of 50 pence per share by 2030 which implies a compound annual growth rate of 6.4%. This will require a higher growth rate in the later years of the forecast based on the lower near-term consensus growth. This growth will require significant investment and new capital, and is by no means certain.

4.  The Strategic Rationale is Clear — Constructive Engagement Creates the Best Outcome

The proposed combination offers SEGRO shareholders a substantial upfront premium and participation in a long-term value opportunity through ownership of the combined platform.

Customers would benefit from Prologis' global platform, deep local leadership and expertise as well as proven execution across leading logistics markets that support increasingly international supply chains. Communities will continue to benefit from Prologis' long-term investment approach and sustained investment in skills and partnerships.

Prologis has a significant footprint across Europe and has operated in the U.K. for nearly 30 years. The combination supports the U.K.'s growth agenda through continued investment in strategic logistics infrastructure, strengthening supply chain resilience and creating long-term economic opportunity.

Constructive Engagement

Prologis remains ready to engage constructively with the SEGRO Board and believes that a collaborative dialogue would enable both companies to explore the full potential of a combination and ensure shareholders are able to evaluate all available opportunities.

Prologis urges SEGRO shareholders to encourage the SEGRO Board to engage with Prologis to allow a binding offer to be put to SEGRO shareholders for their consideration.

The investor presentation published today is available on Prologis' website at https://ir.prologis.com/potential-offer-for-segro-disclaimer, subject to certain restrictions.

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

Linklaters LLP is retained as legal adviser to Prologis.
