THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONTAINS INSIDE INFORMATION
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
4 August 2026
RECOMMENDED BEST AND FINAL* SHARE OFFER WITH A PARTIAL CASH ALTERNATIVE
for
SEGRO plc (“SEGRO”)
by
Prologis, Inc. (“Prologis”)
to be effected by means of a scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006
Summary
- The boards of Prologis and SEGRO are pleased to announce that they have reached agreement on the terms of a recommended share offer with a partial cash alternative, pursuant to which Prologis, Prologis, L.P. and/or a wholly owned subsidiary (or subsidiaries) of Prologis or Prologis, L.P. (the “Offeror”) will acquire the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of SEGRO (the “Combination”). The Combination is to be effected by means of a scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act.
- Under the terms of the Combination, SEGRO Shareholders shall be entitled to receive:
| for each SEGRO Share0.0920 New Prologis Shares | (the “Exchange Ratio”) |
- There is a Partial Cash Alternative of up to £3,509,777,110.70 (the “Maximum Cash Amount”), representing approximately 25 per cent of the total value of the consideration based on a fixed price of 1,031.7 pence per SEGRO Share (the “Partial Cash Alternative”, together with the Exchange Ratio, the “Combination Consideration”). Based on the fully diluted share count as of the date immediately prior to this announcement, SEGRO Shareholders who validly elect to receive the Partial Cash Alternative for the basic entitlement equal to 25 per cent of a fixed price of 1,031.7 pence per SEGRO Share would receive 258 pence in cash and would also receive 0.0690 New Prologis Shares for each SEGRO Share. SEGRO Shareholders may elect to receive cash consideration less than, or in excess of, their basic entitlement. Elections to receive cash in excess of this basic entitlement will be scaled back pro rata if aggregate valid cash elections exceed the Maximum Cash Amount. The Partial Cash Alternative will not affect the entitlements of those SEGRO Shareholders who do not elect for it, each of whom would receive 0.0920 New Prologis Shares for each SEGRO Share.
- SEGRO Shareholders shall be entitled to receive and retain the 2026 interim dividend of up to 10.14 pence per SEGRO Share (the “2026 Interim Dividend”), as announced by SEGRO on 30 July 2026, without any reduction of the Combination Consideration.
- SEGRO Shareholders shall also be entitled to receive and retain any 2026 final dividend of up to 22.56 pence per SEGRO Share (the “2026 Final Dividend”) if it is announced, declared, paid or made prior to the Effective Date, on the terms set out in this announcement, without any reduction of the Combination Consideration. In order to ensure that the 2026 Final Dividend can be declared and paid prior to the expected Effective Date (which is expected to occur during H1 2027), SEGRO expects that its 2027 annual general meeting, at which SEGRO Shareholders would consider, and if thought fit declare, the 2026 Final Dividend (the “Dividend GM”), will take place no later than March 2027 and the record date in respect of the 2026 Final Dividend will be commensurately earlier than SEGRO’s ordinary course dividend timetable. SEGRO does not intend to convene the Scheme Hearing and/or deliver the Court Order to the Registrar of Companies until the Dividend GM has taken place.
- Should the timetable extend beyond the anticipated date for completion of the Combination (and the Scheme becoming Effective), SEGRO Shareholders shall also be entitled to receive and retain:
- any 2027 interim dividend of up to 10.55 pence per SEGRO Share (the “2027 Interim Dividend”); and
- any 2027 final dividend of up to 23.52 pence per SEGRO Share (the “2027 Final Dividend” and, with the 2026 Interim Dividend, the 2026 Final Dividend and the 2027 Interim Dividend, the “SEGRO Permitted Dividends”), in each case that is announced, declared, paid or made or becomes payable by SEGRO in the ordinary course, in accordance with SEGRO’s dividend policy and consistent with past practice in relation to timing, on or after the date of this announcement and prior to the Effective Date, without any reduction of the Combination Consideration.
- Based on the closing price per Prologis Share of $149.94 and a GBP:USD exchange rate of 1.3371 on 21 July 2026 (being the last practicable date prior to the announcement of Prologis’ Best and Final* Proposal on 22 July 2026) and assuming that the Partial Cash Alternative is fully taken up:
- the Combination Consideration values each SEGRO Share at 1,031.7 pence and the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of SEGRO at approximately £14.0 billion; and
- the Combination Consideration, together with the 2026 Final Dividend (which SEGRO Shareholders will be entitled to receive and retain, if it is declared and paid in full), values each SEGRO Share at 1,054.3 pence and the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of SEGRO at approximately £14.3 billion.
- The Combination Consideration of 1,031.7 pence per SEGRO Share represents a premium of approximately:
- 39.0 per cent to SEGRO’s closing share price of 742 pence on 23 June 2026 (being the day prior to the commencement of the Offer Period);
- 41.3 per cent to SEGRO’s one-month volume-weighted average share price of 730 pence as of 23 June 2026 (being the day prior to the commencement of the Offer Period);
- 46.5 per cent to SEGRO’s three-month volume-weighted average share price of 704 pence as of 23 June 2026 (being the day prior to the commencement of the Offer Period); and
- 14.4 per cent to SEGRO’s EPRA NTA of 902 pence per SEGRO Share as at 30 June 2026.
- The Combination Consideration, together with the 2026 Final Dividend of up to 22.56 pence per SEGRO Share (which SEGRO Shareholders will be entitled to receive and retain, if such dividend is declared and paid in full), values each SEGRO Share at 1,054.3 pence, which represents a premium of approximately:
- 42.1 per cent to SEGRO’s closing share price of 742 pence on 23 June 2026 (being the day prior to the commencement of the Offer Period);
- 44.4 per cent to SEGRO’s one-month volume-weighted average share price of 730 pence as of 23 June 2026 (being the day prior to the commencement of the Offer Period);
- 49.8 per cent to SEGRO’s three-month volume-weighted average share price of 704 pence as of 23 June 2026 (being the day prior to the commencement of the Offer Period); and
- 16.9 per cent to SEGRO’s EPRA NTA of 902 pence per SEGRO Share as at 30 June 2026.
- Based on the closing Prologis share price of $144.15 and a GBP:USD exchange rate of 1.3438 on 3 August 2026, being the last practicable date prior to the date of this announcement, and assuming SEGRO Shareholders elect for 25 per cent cash, the Combination values each SEGRO Share at 998.1 pence.
- Following the Effective Date, assuming that the Partial Cash Alternative is fully taken up and based on Prologis’ and SEGRO’s fully diluted share capital as at 3 August 2026 (being the last practicable date prior to the date of this announcement), SEGRO Shareholders would hold approximately 8.9 per cent of the shares in the Combined Group, allowing them to participate in the future growth prospects of the Combined Group.
- Subject to required approvals, Prologis Shares (including the New Prologis Shares) will be admitted to the equity shares (international commercial companies secondary listing) category of the Official List maintained by the FCA and to trading on the Main Market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange on, or shortly after, the Effective Date. This will ensure a greater range of both existing and prospective shareholders are able to access the future value creation opportunity of the Combined Group.
- The SEGRO Directors intend unanimously to recommend the Combination.
- It is intended that the Combination will be effected by way of the Scheme (although Prologis reserves the right to implement the Combination by way of a Takeover Offer, subject to consent of the Panel (if required) and the terms of the Co-operation Agreement). The Conditions to the Combination are set out in full in Appendix I and include, in summary: (i) approval by the requisite majorities of Scheme Shareholders at the Court Meeting and of SEGRO Shareholders at the General Meeting; (ii) sanction of the Scheme by the Court; (iii) the Combination becoming Effective no later than the Long-stop Date; (iv) receipt of certain anti-trust and regulatory approvals, clearances and/or confirmations as detailed in Part A of Appendix I; and (v) the secondary listing and admission of Prologis Shares to trading on the London Stock Exchange.
Prologis’ proven M&A track record and longstanding European presence
- As the global leader in logistics real estate, Prologis builds intelligent infrastructure that powers global commerce, with operations in high-barrier, high-growth markets. Prologis’ strategy is to own, operate and develop high-quality logistics assets in strategic locations, meeting customers’ evolving needs while delivering reliable, growing cash flows and attractive returns through the cycle.
- Selective, value-creating M&A has been a consistent part of Prologis’ growth strategy. Its proven track record includes the successful all-share acquisitions of publicly listed logistics real estate companies, with Duke Realty Corporation in 2022, Liberty Property Trust in 2019 and DCT Industrial Trust in 2018. Prologis has successfully integrated these businesses and delivered synergies, demonstrating the strength of its platform.
- Prologis has invested in the UK and Europe, building a business with £28.0 billion of AUM since 1997. Over the past 28 years, Prologis has built a portfolio spanning 251 million square feet across 12 countries and 50 markets in the region, supported by established operating, development and investment management capabilities and longstanding institutional capital partnerships. Prologis is a significant long-term investor to the UK economy, having invested £5.6 billion of capital over the past decade with a further £5.5 billion publicly committed.
Clear strategic rationale and value creation
- Prologis and SEGRO believe that the Combination offers a compelling opportunity to SEGRO Shareholders. SEGRO Shareholders would become shareholders in the world’s largest logistics REIT with a $138 billion market capitalisation (as at the last practicable date prior to the date of this announcement) – while receiving significant value above SEGRO’s share price prior to the commencement of the Offer Period and the ability to receive a portion of the consideration in cash at a 14.4 per cent premium to SEGRO’s last reported EPRA NTA.
- SEGRO Shareholders could also participate in the future performance of a global platform with a track record of outperformance across key metrics and the successful integration of major corporate transactions with the delivery of synergies.
- Prologis also believes the Combination would deliver significant benefits to the customers, employees and other stakeholders of the Combined Group. In particular, the Combination would return Prologis’ European exposure to levels similar to those before the Duke Realty acquisition in 2022. Prologis sees significant growth opportunities and supportive market dynamics in Europe over the medium term. Prologis also expects the Combination to present increased opportunities for SEGRO’s customers and employees as part of a broader global organisation.
- SEGRO’s well-established footprint across key UK and European urban warehousing and logistics locations would deepen Prologis’ presence in high-growth, attractive markets, complementing Prologis’ existing global platform and increasing the potential benefits available from greater scale.
- The Combination would result in a combined European operating portfolio of approximately 368 million square feet, more than tripling SEGRO’s existing European footprint.
The Combination provides a compelling value proposition
Prologis believes that the Combination has clear strategic rationale and provides SEGRO Shareholders with a compelling value proposition:
- A Truly Global Platform with Significant Scale
- The Combined Group will benefit from a scaled, global platform, fortress balance sheet and established strategic capital platform. The Combined Group would bring together two high-quality portfolios with approximately £200 billion of AUM. Its modern, well-located and well-invested facilities would be concentrated in major consumption and distribution corridors.
- Combining Prologis' global customer ecosystem, operating platform and established local expertise across the UK and Europe with SEGRO's complementary pan-European platform would create a stronger proposition for customers. The Combined Group would enable customers to manage their supply chain needs through a single global logistics partner.
- The Combination would give SEGRO Shareholders exposure to global growth markets, while Prologis increases its European exposure, a market in which it sees significant growth opportunities.
- Significant Combined Data Center Pipeline with an Enhanced Return Outlook
- The Combination would bring together SEGRO’s 1.4 GVA medium term pipeline (2.5 GVA long-term) with Prologis’ secured and advanced stages pipeline of 5.8 GW and more than 10 GW of identified opportunities.
- Prologis’ established and scaled platform has a track record of delivering and monetising development projects. Prologis believes that its global platform, balance sheet strength and diversified capital base can accelerate the realization of the significant embedded value of SEGRO’s development and data center pipeline.
- Prologis’ Proven Stewardship of Shareholder Capital and Strong M&A Integration Track Record
- Prologis’ history of achieving cost and revenue synergies demonstrates the strength of its platform and its ability to integrate acquired businesses successfully.
- Prologis expects the Combination to deliver significant synergies, consistent with its track record on previous transactions. Prologis’ model of focusing on active management and ancillary services is designed to improve the operational performance of the properties and generate additional value.
Effects of the Combination on Prologis
- The Combination is consistent with Prologis’ strategy of owning and operating high-quality logistics real estate capable of delivering reliable, growing cash flows and attractive total returns through the cycle.
- Consistent with Prologis’ previous M&A transactions, Prologis expects significant cost and operational efficiencies, alongside benefits from enhanced scale in asset management and procurement.
- The Combination is expected to enhance Prologis’ long-term earnings and return potential. In the first full year following completion of the Combination, assuming annualised run-rate synergies, the Combination is expected to have a broadly neutral to minimally dilutive impact on Core FFO and AFFO per Prologis Share.
- Prologis expects to maintain A2/A credit ratings from Moody's and S&P.
Recommendation of the SEGRO Directors
- The SEGRO Directors, who have been so advised by Evercore and Morgan Stanley as to the financial terms of the Combination, consider the terms of the Combination to be fair and reasonable. In providing advice to the SEGRO Directors, Evercore and Morgan Stanley have relied upon the commercial assessments of the SEGRO Directors. Evercore and Morgan Stanley are providing independent financial advice to the SEGRO Directors for the purposes of Rule 3 of the Code. The SEGRO Directors have also received financial advice from Goldman Sachs and UBS.
- Accordingly, the SEGRO Directors intend unanimously to recommend that SEGRO Shareholders vote in favour of the Scheme at the Court Meeting and the resolution(s) to be proposed at the General Meeting (and if Prologis, with the consent of the Panel (if required) and subject to the terms of the Co-operation Agreement, subsequently structures the Combination as a Takeover Offer, to accept any Takeover Offer by Prologis), as the SEGRO Directors who hold SEGRO Shares have irrevocably undertaken to do in respect of their own personal beneficial holdings, amounting in aggregate to 3,331,443 SEGRO Shares and representing approximately 0.245 per cent of the issued share capital of SEGRO as at 3 August 2026 (being the last practicable date prior to the date of this announcement).
Commenting on the Combination, Daniel S. Letter, Chief Executive Officer of Prologis, said:
"We are pleased to have reached agreement with the SEGRO Board on a combination that we believe will create meaningful value. This deal brings together SEGRO’s exceptional portfolio and customer relationships with Prologis’ global platform, operating expertise and financial strength.
We have great respect for SEGRO, its people and the business they have built over many years. The constructive engagement between our leadership teams throughout this process has reinforced our confidence in the opportunity ahead.
As we move forward, we will approach the work ahead thoughtfully and deliberately. We look forward to building on the strengths of both companies and creating even greater value for our customers and shareholders."
Commenting on the Combination, David Sleath, Chief Executive Officer of SEGRO, said:
“SEGRO has built a unique business over many decades, assembling an irreplicable portfolio of high-quality industrial, logistics and data centre assets in some of Europe's most attractive locations. Through the dedication of our people and the strength of our customer relationships, we have a proven track record of value creation over many years.
Prologis shares our conviction in the long-term structural drivers underpinning demand for modern logistics and data centre infrastructure. We believe the combination would bring together two highly complementary businesses and create a compelling platform, combining SEGRO’s exceptional portfolio and development pipeline with Prologis’ existing European business and global scale, customer franchise and operational capabilities, while retaining a shared commitment to disciplined capital allocation, customers and people.
Prologis’ proposal provides SEGRO shareholders with a compelling opportunity to realise the value created by SEGRO and benefit from the future growth of the Combined Group.
I would like to thank our colleagues for their unwavering commitment and contribution to SEGRO's success. Their dedication has been instrumental in building the exceptional business we are today.”

Accordingly, the Combination is subject to the disclosure and procedural requirements applicable in the United Kingdom to schemes of arrangement which differ from the disclosure requirements of US tender offer rules and proxy solicitation rules and the registration requirements under the US Securities Act.
However, if Prologis were to elect to implement the Combination by means of a Takeover Offer (subject to the consent of the Panel (if required) and the terms of the Co-operation Agreement), such takeover offer will be made in compliance with all applicable US laws and regulations.
The New Prologis Shares to be issued pursuant to the Scheme will not be registered under the US Securities Act or any US state securities laws and will be issued pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(10) of the US Securities Act and similar exemptions under applicable US state securities laws. New Prologis Shares issued to persons other than “affiliates” of Prologis or the Combined Group (defined generally as certain control persons in Rule 144 under the US Securities Act) will be freely transferable under US federal securities law after the Combination. Persons (whether or not US persons) who are or will be “affiliates” of Prologis within 90 days prior to, or of the Combined Group after, the Effective Date will be subject to certain transfer restrictions relating to the New Prologis Shares under US federal securities law. If, in the future, Prologis elects to implement the Combination by way of a Takeover Offer or otherwise in a manner that is not exempt from the registration requirements of the US Securities Act, it will file a registration statement with the SEC that will contain a prospectus/offer to exchange with respect to the issuance of the New Prologis Shares. In that event, SEGRO Shareholders are urged to read the registration statement, the prospectus/offer to exchange and the other relevant documents filed with the SEC carefully and in their entirety if and when they become available as they will contain important information. SEGRO Shareholders will be able to obtain free copies of these documents (if and when available) and other documents filed with the SEC by Prologis through the website maintained by the SEC at http://www.sec.gov and by visiting Prologis’ investor relations website at https://ir.prologis.com. These documents (if and when available) may also be obtained free of charge from Prologis by requesting them from Investor Relations by mail at Pier 1, Bay 1, San Francisco, CA 94111.
For the purpose of qualifying for the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(10) of the US Securities Act, SEGRO will advise the Court that its sanctioning of the Scheme will be relied on by Prologis as an approval of the Scheme following a hearing on its fairness to SEGRO Shareholders, at which Court Hearing all SEGRO Shareholders are entitled to attend in person or through counsel to support or oppose the sanctioning of the Scheme and with respect to which notification will be given to all such holders.
In accordance with normal United Kingdom practice (and, in the event the Combination is to be implemented by way of a Takeover Offer, in accordance with Rule 14e-5(b) under the US Exchange Act), Prologis or its nominees, or its brokers (acting as agents), may from time to time make certain purchases of, or arrangements to purchase, shares or other securities of SEGRO outside of the US, other than pursuant to the Combination, until the date on which the Combination and/or Scheme becomes effective, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn. These purchases may occur either in the open market at prevailing prices or in private transactions at negotiated prices (and, in the event the Combination is to be implemented by way of a Takeover Offer, outside of the United States). Any information about such purchases or arrangements to purchase will be disclosed as required in the UK, will be reported to a Regulatory Information Service and will be available on the London Stock Exchange website at www.londonstockexchange.com.
Additional information for US investors
Financial information relating to SEGRO included in this announcement and the Scheme Document has been or will have been prepared in accordance with accounting standards applicable in the United Kingdom and may not be comparable to financial information of US companies or companies whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
Prologis is organised under the laws of the State of Maryland, United States, and SEGRO is organised under the laws of England and Wales. Some of the officers and directors of Prologis and SEGRO, respectively, are residents of countries other than the United States. In addition, most of the assets of SEGRO and some of the assets of Prologis are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for US shareholders of SEGRO to enforce their rights and any claim arising out of the federal or state securities laws of the United States in connection with the Combination against, or to effect service of process within the United States upon, SEGRO or its officers or directors or to enforce against them a judgment of a US court predicated upon the federal or state securities laws of the United States.
High-Level U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences
The receipt of consideration by a US holder for the transfer of its SEGRO Shares (or, cash consideration under the Partial Cash Alternative) pursuant to the Scheme is expected to be a taxable transaction for United States federal income tax purposes.
For certain SEGRO Shareholders, section 304 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (IRC) may apply to the Combination, in which case the cash consideration received pursuant to the Combination may be subject to U.S. federal income tax as a deemed dividend (“U.S. Deemed Dividend Tax”). For U.S. SEGRO Shareholders, dividends are generally taxable as ordinary income, subject to any reduced tax rates or deductions provided under the IRC. For Non-U.S. SEGRO Shareholders, U.S. Deemed Dividend Tax may be collected via a withholding tax at a 30 per cent rate (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) from the cash consideration received pursuant to the Combination.
The Scheme Document will contain details on certain expected US and UK tax consequences of the Combination, including the potential application of section 304 of the IRC (and details of any paperwork available to mitigate any potential withholding tax in respect thereof).
Securities Ratings
This announcement contains securities ratings. A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be revised or withdrawn at any time by the issuing agency.
Forward Looking Statements
This announcement (including information incorporated by reference in this announcement), oral statements made regarding the Combination, and other information published by Prologis, any member of the Prologis Group, SEGRO or any member of the SEGRO Group and that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 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 regarding the business strategies and the environment in which Prologis, any member of the Prologis Group, SEGRO, any member of the SEGRO Group or the Combined Group will operate in the future. Such statements involve uncertainties that could significantly impact Prologis’ or SEGRO’s financial results. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “designs,” “aims,” “would,” “should,” “could,” 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. All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that Prologis or SEGRO expects or anticipates will occur in the future – including statements relating to the Combination, rent and occupancy growth, acquisition and development activity, including data center developments and power procurement related thereto, contribution and disposition activity, general conditions in the geographic areas where Prologis and SEGRO operate, expectations regarding new lines of business, Prologis’ and SEGRO’s respective debt, capital structure and financial position, Prologis’ or SEGRO’s ability to earn revenues from co-investment ventures or form new co-investment ventures and the availability of capital in existing or new co-investment ventures – are forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Although Prologis and SEGRO believe the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, neither Prologis nor SEGRO can give any assurance that these expectations will be attained, and therefore actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that may affect outcomes and results include, but are not limited to: (i) Prologis’ and SEGRO’s ability to complete the Combination on the proposed terms or on the anticipated timeline, or at all, including risks and uncertainties relating to satisfying the Conditions; (ii) the effect of the Combination on the ability of Prologis and SEGRO to operate their respective businesses and retain and hire key personnel and to maintain favourable business relationships; (iii) failure to realize expected benefits or synergies of the Combination; (iv) significant transaction costs and/or unknown or inestimable liabilities; (v) the risk of shareholder litigation in connection with the Combination, including resulting expense or delay; (vi) the risk that SEGRO’s business will not be integrated successfully or that such integration may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected; (vii) risks related to future opportunities and plans for the Combined Group, including the uncertainty of expected future financial performance and results of the Combined Group following the Effective Date; (viii) risks related to the market value of the New Prologis Shares, including foreign currency exchange rates; (ix) other risks related to the completion of the Combination and actions related thereto; (x) international, national, regional and local economic and political climates and conditions; (xi) changes in global financial markets, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates; (xii) increased or unanticipated competition for Prologis’ or SEGRO’s properties; (xiii) risks associated with acquisitions, dispositions and development of properties, including those specific to data center development and the integration of the operations of significant real estate portfolios; (xiv) maintenance of REIT status, tax structuring and changes in income tax laws and rates; (xv) availability of financing and capital, the levels of debt that Prologis and SEGRO maintain and their credit ratings; (xvi) risks related to Prologis’ and SEGRO’s investments in and management of their co-investment ventures, including ability to establish new co-investment ventures; (xvii) risks of doing business internationally, including currency risks; (xviii) environmental uncertainties, including risks of natural disasters; (xix) risks related to global pandemics; and (xx) those additional factors discussed under Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in Prologis’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and in subsequent documents filed with the SEC (together with each of the factors described in detail in SEGRO’s 2025 annual report under the heading “Principal Risks”). None of Prologis, the Prologis Group, SEGRO or the SEGRO Group undertake any duty to update any forward-looking statements appearing in this announcement except as may be required by law.
None of Prologis, any member of the Prologis Group, SEGRO, any member of the SEGRO Group nor any of their respective associates, directors, officers, employees or advisers, provides any representation, assurance or guarantee that the occurrence of the events expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements in this announcement will actually occur. Given these risks and uncertainties, potential investors should not place any reliance on forward looking statements.
Forward-looking statements speak only at the date of this announcement. All subsequent oral or written forward-looking statements attributable to Prologis, any member of the Prologis Group, SEGRO, any member of the SEGRO Group, or any of their respective associates, directors, officers, employees or advisers, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statement above.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
4 August 2026
RECOMMENDED BEST AND FINAL* SHARE OFFER WITH A PARTIAL CASH ALTERNATIVE
for
SEGRO plc (“SEGRO”)
by
Prologis, Inc. (“Prologis”)
to be effected by means of a scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006
| 1IntroductionThe boards of Prologis and SEGRO are pleased to announce that they have reached agreement on the terms of a recommended share offer with a partial cash alternative, pursuant to which Prologis, Prologis, L.P. and/or a wholly owned subsidiary (or subsidiaries) of Prologis or Prologis, L.P. (the “Offeror”) will acquire the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of SEGRO (the “Combination”). The Combination is to be effected by means of a scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act. | 2The CombinationUnder the terms of the Combination, which shall be subject to the Conditions and further terms set out below and in Appendix I and the full terms and conditions which will be set out in the Scheme Document, SEGRO Shareholders shall be entitled to receive: | for each SEGRO Share0.0920 New Prologis Shares | (the “Exchange Ratio”) | There is a Partial Cash Alternative of up to £3,509,777,110.70 (the “Maximum Cash Amount”), representing approximately 25 per cent of the total value of the consideration based on a fixed price of 1,031.7 pence per SEGRO Share (the “Partial Cash Alternative”, together with the Exchange Ratio, the “Combination Consideration”). Based on the fully diluted share count as of the date immediately prior to this announcement, SEGRO Shareholders who validly elect to receive the Partial Cash Alternative for the basic entitlement equal to 25 per cent of a fixed price of 1,031.7 pence per SEGRO Share would receive 258 pence in cash and would also receive 0.0690 New Prologis Shares for each SEGRO Share. SEGRO Shareholders may elect to receive cash consideration less than, or in excess of, their basic entitlement. Elections to receive cash in excess of this basic entitlement will be scaled back pro rata if aggregate valid cash elections exceed the Maximum Cash Amount. The Partial Cash Alternative will not affect the entitlements of those SEGRO Shareholders who do not elect for it, each of whom would receive 0.0920 New Prologis Shares for each SEGRO Share.SEGRO Shareholders shall be entitled to receive and retain the 2026 interim dividend of up to 10.14 pence per SEGRO Share (the “2026 Interim Dividend”), as announced by SEGRO on 30 July 2026, without any reduction of the Combination Consideration.SEGRO Shareholders shall also be entitled to receive and retain any 2026 final dividend of up to 22.56 pence per SEGRO Share (the “2026 Final Dividend”) if it is announced, declared, paid or made prior to the Effective Date, on the terms set out in this announcement, without any reduction of the Combination Consideration. In order to ensure that the 2026 Final Dividend can be declared and paid prior to the expected Effective Date (which is expected to occur during H1 2027), SEGRO expects that its 2027 annual general meeting, at which SEGRO Shareholders would consider, and if thought fit declare, the 2026 Final Dividend (the “Dividend GM”), will take place no later than March 2027 and the record date in respect of the 2026 Final Dividend will be commensurately earlier than SEGRO’s ordinary course dividend timetable. SEGRO does not intend to convene the Scheme Hearing and/or deliver the Court Order to the Registrar of Companies until the Dividend GM has taken place.Should the timetable extend beyond the anticipated date for completion of the Combination (and the Scheme becoming Effective), SEGRO Shareholders shall also be entitled to receive and retain:
| 3Partial Cash AlternativeSEGRO Shareholders can elect to receive cash instead of some, or potentially all, of the New Prologis Shares to which they would otherwise be entitled under the Combination. The maximum aggregate amount of the Partial Cash Alternative will not exceed £3,509,777,110.70 (namely, the “Maximum Cash Amount”, representing approximately 25 per cent of the total value of the consideration based on a fixed price of 1,031.7 pence per SEGRO Share).Based on the fully diluted share count as of the date immediately prior to this announcement, SEGRO Shareholders who validly elect to receive the Partial Cash Alternative for up to the basic entitlement (equal to 25 per cent of a fixed price of 1,031.7 pence per SEGRO Share, being 258 pence in cash per SEGRO Share) will receive the full amount of cash for which they have elected (and a matching reduction in the proportion of New Prologis Shares to be received by such SEGRO Shareholder). SEGRO Shareholders who elect to receive the basic entitlement of 258 pence in cash per SEGRO Share would therefore also receive 0.0690 New Prologis Shares for each SEGRO Share.SEGRO Shareholders may elect to receive cash consideration less than, or in excess of, their basic entitlement, in which case the number of New Prologis Shares they receive will be adjusted accordingly. Elections to receive cash in excess of this basic entitlement may be scaled back pro rata (rounding down any fractions to the nearest whole number), depending upon the overall level of take up of the Partial Cash Alternative. Any election will only be valid in respect of the scaled back cash consideration.If valid elections for the Partial Cash Alternative would otherwise result in the payment of more than the Maximum Cash Amount, SEGRO Shareholders who have elected to receive the Partial Cash Alternative in excess of their basic entitlement of 258 pence in cash per SEGRO Share will be scaled back as nearly as is practicable on a pro rata basis in respect of such excess elections, with the balance of entitlements being satisfied in New Prologis Shares on the basis of the Exchange Ratio (other than fractional entitlements). If valid elections for the Partial Cash Alternative are in aggregate no more than the Maximum Cash Amount, all elections for the Partial Cash Alternative will be met in full.If elections for the Partial Cash Alternative are such that the Maximum Cash Amount is paid to SEGRO Shareholders, Prologis would issue approximately 93,893,427 New Prologis Shares pursuant to the Combination and would have approximately 1,054,126,614 Prologis Shares in issue following such issuance, and SEGRO Shareholders would together hold approximately 8.9 per cent of the Prologis Shares in issue upon the Effective Date. If no elections are made for the Partial Cash Alternative, Prologis would issue approximately 125,191,236 New Prologis Shares pursuant to the Combination. As a result of the Combination, Prologis would, in those circumstances, have approximately 1,085,424,423 Prologis Shares in issue and SEGRO Shareholders would together hold approximately 11.5 per cent of the Prologis Shares in issue following the Effective Date.The Partial Cash Alternative will not affect the entitlements of those SEGRO Shareholders who do not elect for it, each of whom would receive 0.0920 New Prologis Shares for each SEGRO Share in accordance with the terms of the Scheme.Further details in relation to the Partial Cash Alternative, including which SEGRO Shareholders may be ineligible to participate, will be contained in the Scheme Document and the related Form of Election. | 4Background to and reasons for the CombinationPrologis’ proven M&A track record and longstanding European presenceAs the global leader in logistics real estate, Prologis builds intelligent infrastructure that powers global commerce, with operations in high-barrier, high-growth markets. Prologis’ strategy is to own, operate and develop high-quality logistics assets in strategic locations, meeting customers’ evolving needs while delivering reliable, growing cash flows and attractive returns through the cycle.Selective, value-creating M&A has been a consistent part of Prologis’ growth strategy. Its proven track record includes the successful all-share acquisitions of publicly listed logistics real estate companies, with Duke Realty Corporation in 2022, Liberty Property Trust in 2019 and DCT Industrial Trust in 2018. Prologis has successfully integrated these businesses and delivered synergies, demonstrating the strength of its platform.Prologis has invested in the UK and Europe, building a business with £28.0 billion of AUM since 1997. Over the past 28 years, Prologis has built a portfolio spanning 251 million square feet across 12 countries and 50 markets in the region, supported by established operating, development and investment management capabilities and longstanding institutional capital partnerships. Prologis is a significant long-term investor to the UK economy, having invested £5.6 billion of capital over the past decade with a further £5.5 billion publicly committed.Clear strategic rationale and value creationPrologis and SEGRO believe that the Combination offers a compelling opportunity to SEGRO Shareholders. SEGRO Shareholders would become shareholders in the world’s largest logistics REIT with a $138 billion market capitalisation (as at the last practicable date prior to the date of this announcement) – while receiving significant value above SEGRO’s share price prior to the commencement of the Offer Period and the ability to receive a portion of the consideration in cash at a 14.4 per cent premium to SEGRO’s last reported EPRA NTA.SEGRO Shareholders could also participate in the future performance of a global platform with a track record of outperformance across key metrics and the successful integration of major corporate transactions with the delivery of synergies.Prologis also believes the Combination would deliver significant benefits to the customers, employees and other stakeholders of the Combined Group. In particular, the Combination would return Prologis’ European exposure to levels similar to those before the Duke Realty acquisition in 2022. Prologis sees significant growth opportunities and supportive market dynamics in Europe over the medium term. Prologis also expects the Combination to present increased opportunities for SEGRO’s customers and employees as part of a broader global organisation.SEGRO’s well-established footprint across key UK and European urban warehousing and logistics locations would deepen Prologis’ presence in high-growth, attractive markets, complementing Prologis’ existing global platform and increasing the potential benefits available from greater scale.The Combination would result in a combined European operating portfolio of approximately 368 million square feet, more than tripling SEGRO’s existing European footprint.The Combination provides a compelling value propositionPrologis believes that the Combination has clear strategic rationale and provides SEGRO Shareholders with a compelling value proposition:
| 5Recommendation of the SEGRO DirectorsThe SEGRO Directors, who have been so advised by Evercore and Morgan Stanley as to the financial terms of the Combination, consider the terms of the Combination to be fair and reasonable. In providing advice to the SEGRO Directors, Evercore and Morgan Stanley have relied upon the commercial assessments of the SEGRO Directors. Evercore and Morgan Stanley are providing independent financial advice to the SEGRO Directors for the purposes of Rule 3 of the Code. The SEGRO Directors have also received financial advice from Goldman Sachs and UBS.Accordingly, the SEGRO Directors intend unanimously to recommend that SEGRO Shareholders vote in favour of the Scheme at the Court Meeting and the resolution(s) to be proposed at the General Meeting (and if Prologis, with the consent of the Panel (if required) and subject to the terms of the Co-operation Agreement, subsequently structures the Combination as a Takeover Offer, to accept any Takeover Offer by Prologis), as the SEGRO Directors who hold SEGRO Shares have irrevocably undertaken to do in respect of their own personal beneficial holdings, amounting in aggregate to 3,331,443 SEGRO Shares and representing approximately 0.245 per cent of the issued share capital of SEGRO as at 3 August 2026 (being the last practicable date prior to the date of this announcement).Background to and reasons for the recommendationSEGRO todaySEGRO is a unique business with an irreplicable pan-European portfolio meticulously constructed over decades to drive long term performance. It is 65 per cent weighted to urban locations, including 8 per cent in a growing data centre portfolio which includes Europe's largest data centre cluster on the Slough Trading Estate. The remaining 35 per cent consists of big box logistics parks in strategic European distribution hubs. Deep local knowledge, established stakeholder relationships and planning expertise underpin strong asset management and a proven track record of development-led value creation over many years.SEGRO’s landbank and land under option allow for industrial and logistics development opportunities capable of generating approximately £441 million of additional future headline rent. Its compelling near-to-medium-term data centre opportunity offers approximately £464 million of potential income which can be contracted in the next seven years supported by 1.4GVA of power. An additional 1.1GVA of reserved power adds longer-term income and value creation opportunities. SEGRO's data centre pipeline is exceptionally well positioned in FLAP-D and emerging Availability Zones.SEGRO reported a strong first half of 2026, securing £53 million in new headline rent, a significant increase from £31 million in the prior year, driven by £24 million in new pre-lets and a record current and near-term development pipeline. SEGRO's data centre strategy is advancing with an additional 0.5GVA added to its power bank and a second joint venture with Pure DC signed, alongside planning approval received and lease discussions ongoing for SEGRO’s first fully fitted data centre at Park Royal.Reasons for the recommendationOn 16 June 2026, Prologis made an indicative all-share proposal to acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of SEGRO on the basis of 0.084 New Prologis Shares for each SEGRO Share, implying a value of 925 pence per SEGRO share, which was subsequently rejected by the SEGRO Board. Prologis submitted two further proposals to the SEGRO Board, progressively increasing the exchange ratio and introducing, and then increasing, a partial cash alternative. The further proposals were rejected by the SEGRO Board after careful consideration.On 22 July 2026, Prologis made a further best and final proposal to SEGRO (the "Best and Final Proposal") on the terms of the Combination set out in this announcement. Based on Prologis' closing share price of US$149.94 and a GBP:USD exchange rate of 1.3371 as at market close on 21 July 2026, being the trading day prior to publication of the Best and Final Proposal, and assuming all SEGRO Shareholders were to elect in full for the Partial Cash Alternative, the Best and Final Proposal valued each SEGRO share at 1,031.7 pence.If the 2026 Final Dividend is declared and paid in full, each SEGRO Shareholder would be entitled to receive a total value of up to 1,054.3 pence per SEGRO Share. In connection with the Best and Final Proposal, Prologis also announced its intention to explore the feasibility of a secondary listing of Prologis Shares on the London Stock Exchange if there were sufficient investor demand.On 22 July 2026, having carefully considered the Best and Final Proposal with its financial advisers, and taking into account the terms of the Best and Final Proposal in respect of the 2026 Final Dividend and Prologis’ intentions with respect to a secondary listing of Prologis Shares on the London Stock Exchange, the SEGRO Board unanimously concluded that the financial terms of the Best and Final Proposal were at a level which it would be minded to recommend to its shareholders, should Prologis announce a firm intention to make an offer pursuant to Rule 2.7 of the Code on those terms.While the SEGRO Board remain highly confident in SEGRO’s standalone income and value growth strategy, in evaluating the financial terms of the Combination and determining whether they reflect an appropriate value for SEGRO and its future prospects, the SEGRO Board has considered a number of factors, including that:
| 6Irrevocable undertakingsPrologis has received irrevocable undertakings from each of the SEGRO Directors that hold SEGRO Shares to vote in favour of the Scheme at the Court Meeting and the resolution(s) to be proposed at the General Meeting (and if Prologis, with the consent of the Panel (if required) and subject to the terms of the Co-operation Agreement, subsequently structures the Combination as a Takeover Offer, to accept any Takeover Offer by Prologis) in respect of an aggregate of 3,331,443 SEGRO Shares representing, approximately 0.245 per cent of the existing issued ordinary share capital of SEGRO as at 3 August 2026 (being the last practicable date prior to the date of this announcement).Further details of these irrevocable undertakings (including the circumstances in which they will fall away) are set out in Appendix III. | 7Information on PrologisFormed through the merger of AMB Property Corporation and Prologis in 2011, Prologis is an S&P 500 constituent NYSE:PLD with a market capitalisation of approximately $138 billion (as at the last practicable date prior to the date of this announcement).As the world’s largest logistics REIT, Prologis operates a scaled and diversified logistics portfolio in high-barrier, high-growth markets across 20 countries and in four continents. Prologis holds £178.4 billion of AUM with a portfolio spanning across 1.3 billion square feet worldwide.Prologis develops and operates intelligent infrastructure that supports modern supply chains and the broader economy. Consistent with this strategy, Prologis is also leveraging its development capabilities, energy solutions and strategic locations to selectively develop data centers.Prologis has an established data center platform with end-to-end capabilities and 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’ power pipeline of 5.8 GW across approximately 30 projects (less than 1 per cent 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.Prologis also holds a substantial land bank with an estimated build-out potential of $40.6 billion in TEI for new warehouse and logistics facilities, supporting continued growth in high-demand markets where supply of well-located logistics real estate remains constrained.Prologis maintains investment-grade issuer credit ratings from major rating agencies: (i) Moody's: A2 (stable outlook); and (ii) Standard & Poor's: A (stable outlook). These ratings support Prologis’ ability to access capital at favourable interest rates. As at the date of this announcement, there have been no changes to those credit ratings since the commencement of the Offer Period. | 8Information on SEGROSEGRO is a UK REIT listed on the London Stock Exchange and Euronext Paris and a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index with a market capitalisation of approximately £10.1 billion (as at 23 June 2026, being the day prior to the commencement of the Offer Period).Founded in 1920, SEGRO's active approach to asset management and disciplined approach to capital allocation has created a portfolio of high-quality, sustainable buildings in some of Europe's largest cities and at key transport and digital infrastructure hubs.SEGRO owns, manages and develops modern warehousing, industrial property and data centres across the UK and seven other European countries, with a portfolio of 10.9 million square metres of space (117 million square feet), with AUM of £21.7 billion as at 30 June 2026.SEGRO has an exceptional industrial and logistics land bank and development pipeline, with £441 million of potential future headline rent, comprising £313 million from land held on balance sheet and £128 million from land options. SEGRO’s data centre development pipeline is underpinned by an additional 2.5 GVA European power bank, including 1.4 GVA of near- to mid-term opportunities in key Availability Zones that are approximately 95 per cent power secured and have the potential to contract £464 million of additional rent at SEGRO’s share over the next seven years. | 9Intentions regarding the SEGRO business, directors, management, employees, pension schemes, locations, fixed assets, research and development, REIT status and trading facilitiesIntentions with respect to SEGROSEGRO is a strong business with a high-quality portfolio and a proven track record delivered through its highly talented and experienced employees. Prologis recognises that, consistent with its own business, this has been built on local teams and trusted relationships with customers, communities and other important stakeholders.In that context, the Combination provides a compelling opportunity to bring together two organisations with strong values and a deep understanding of logistics, industrials and data center real estate. The Combination is therefore expected to deliver substantial benefits for the Combined Group’s key stakeholders, including its employees and the markets it serves.Prior to this announcement, and consistent with market practice, Prologis has been granted access to SEGRO’s senior management for the purposes of confirmatory due diligence. However, as is customary, this access has been relatively limited and Prologis has therefore not yet had access to sufficiently detailed information to finalise its plans regarding the integration of the Combined Group.Accordingly, following the Effective Date, Prologis will carry out an in-depth review of SEGRO’s businesses as a whole, and a comprehensive consultation with relevant stakeholders, in order to formulate a detailed integration plan to optimise the benefits and performance of the Combined Group on a “best of both” basis and further develop its ongoing planning in this context (the “Post-Completion Review”). This Post-Completion Review will include an evaluation of SEGRO’s industrial, logistics and data center portfolio (including standing assets, land bank and power rights) and a detailed assessment of the investment opportunities and strategic options that will support SEGRO’s growth and development prospects as part of the Combined Group. In addition, the Post-Completion Review will include an assessment of SEGRO as to: (i) optimum employee and management headcount numbers to deliver long-term success; (ii) compensation and benefit arrangements; (iii) organizational structure; and (iv) locations. Prologis intends to complete the Post-Completion Review within approximately six months of the Effective Date, subject to what is identified through that review and the scope of the analysis.The Post-Completion Review will be undertaken with the aim of creating a Combined Group that is stronger than the sum of the Prologis and SEGRO businesses as they stand today.Employees and managementPrologis recognises the importance of SEGRO’s highly talented and experienced employees and management in driving the long-term success of SEGRO and considers their continued engagement to be key to delivering the expected future benefits of the Combination.Prologis believes that SEGRO and its employees will benefit from increased opportunities operating within a broader global organisation. As part of the Post-Completion Review, Prologis intends to identify opportunities to build on the strengths of both organisations and develop an integration plan that supports long-term growth and underscores the benefits to the Combined Group’s key stakeholders. However, while Prologis’ familiarity with SEGRO’s business and discussions with SEGRO’s senior management to-date have enabled Prologis to develop an initial view of the possibilities offered by combining the outstanding talent across both organisations, Prologis has not yet reached any firm conclusions regarding the future organisation of the Combined Group, or any changes affecting employees or management, and expects to do so only once the Post-Completion Review has been completed.Throughout the integration process, Prologis intends to engage constructively with SEGRO, to maintain strong business momentum for both organisations, continued outstanding service delivery for their respective customers and the retention and development of talented employees across the Combined Group.As the Combination represents a combination of two businesses operating in the same sector, some roles and responsibilities are expected to overlap. If there are overlaps, Prologis intends to make organisational changes to ensure that the Combined Group’s functions remain operationally efficient, including reductions in headcount in certain areas of the Combined Group. Whilst such plans will be developed through the Post-Completion Review, such reductions may exceed 5 per cent of the total headcount of the Combined Group (and therefore may, subject to the outcome of that planning exercise, result in a more than 5% reduction in SEGRO’s total headcount). However, where feasible, Prologis intends to mitigate any total headcount reduction through natural attrition and measures such as redeployment of affected employees within the Combined Group.Any final decisions regarding any organisational changes will only be implemented following appropriate employee consultation processes, where required, and in accordance with applicable law and the high standards and culture of Prologis and SEGRO.Subject to the potential headcount reductions described above, Prologis does not intend any material change in the balance of skills and functions of employees and management of the Combined Group or SEGRO (which will be further assessed as part of the Post-Completion Review).It is intended that, from the Effective Date, each of the non-executive members of SEGRO's board of directors will resign from the SEGRO board.Existing employment rights and pension schemes The existing contractual and statutory employment rights, including in relation to existing pension contributions, of SEGRO’s employees and management who continue in employment with the Combined Group following the Effective Date will be safeguarded in accordance with applicable law. Further, as set out in the Co-operation Agreement, Prologis has agreed that there will be no material changes to the conditions of employment of SEGRO employees for a period of 12 months following the Effective Date of the Combination.No member of the SEGRO Group participates in any defined benefit scheme.Incentivisation ArrangementsPrologis has not entered into and has not had discussions on proposals to enter into any form of incentivisation arrangements with members of SEGRO’s management and does not expect to do so prior to the Effective Date. Prologis intends to put in place appropriate incentive arrangements for SEGRO’s management and employees who continue in employment with the Combined Group, following completion of the Combination.Locations (including headquarters and headquarters functions)Prologis has a significant presence in the UK and will remain committed to the UK following the Effective Date. Prologis expects the Combined Group to retain operational and administrative/business functions in London following completion of the Combination.Prologis currently has offices in both Solihull and central London in the UK and in all seven continental countries in which SEGRO does business. The functions and operations undertaken at the Combined Group’s locations (including SEGRO’s headquarters functions) and their utility for the success of the business will be assessed on a best of both basis, in consultation with operational management following the Effective Date as part of the Post-Completion Review. Prologis intends to maintain its (and therefore the Combined Group’s) global headquarters in San Francisco.As part of this review, the best locations for the functions and operations of the Combined Group in the UK and the seven continental countries in which SEGRO does business shall be determined and decisions taken on any appropriate rationalisation thereafter, subject to any appropriate employee consultation processes, where required.Fixed assets and research and developmentPrologis does not intend to redeploy the fixed assets of SEGRO.SEGRO has confirmed that it does not have a research and development function and accordingly Prologis has no plans in this regard.REIT StatusSEGRO currently operates as a UK REIT and consequently benefits from the favourable tax framework applicable to UK REITs. Prologis has extensive experience with the UK REIT structure, having an existing ownership interest in, and responsibility for the management of, three UK REITs. Following the Effective Date, and after a full assessment of SEGRO’s position as part of the Post-Completion Review, Prologis intends to take appropriate steps to explore all available options to enable SEGRO to continue to benefit from its status within the UK REIT regime, with a view to ensuring that the beneficial tax treatment continues to apply on an ongoing basis.Listed StatusSEGRO is currently listed on the London Stock Exchange with a secondary listing on Euronext Paris. As set out in paragraph 14 (De-listing) below, a request will be made to the London Stock Exchange and Euronext Paris to cancel trading in SEGRO Shares and de-list SEGRO from the Official List and Euronext Paris. The business requires substantial investment to fully develop its prospects for growth and expansion which can be more easily achieved within the context of the Combined Group and SEGRO will still be able to access equity capital markets via Prologis’ listing in the US.In connection with the Combination (and subject to the Conditions), under the Co-operation Agreement Prologis has given contractual commitments to SEGRO to establish a secondary listing and secure admission of Prologis Shares to trading on the London Stock Exchange. As further described in paragraph 13 (Structure of and Conditions to the Combination), the Combination is therefore conditional upon Prologis Shares (including the New Prologis Shares) being admitted to the equity shares (international commercial companies secondary listing) category of the Official List maintained by the FCA and to trading on the Main Market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange, in each case, on or shortly after the Effective Date. This will ensure a greater range of both existing and prospective shareholders are able to access the future value creation opportunity of the Combined Group.The Combination will not have any impact on the existing business of Prologis.No Post-Offer UndertakingsNo statements in this paragraph 9 constitute “post-offer undertakings” for the purposes of Rule 19.5 of the Code. | 10FinancingThe maximum amount of cash available under the Partial Cash Alternative is £3,509,777,110.70. Prologis is funding the cash consideration from funds available from a new credit facility that was entered into on 4 August 2026 (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and lender, pursuant to which Prologis L.P. and certain subsidiaries of Prologis L.P. may borrow an amount up to £3,575,000,000 on the terms and conditions set out in the Term Loan Credit Agreement. The Term Loan Credit Agreement contains customary certain funds terms. Prologis may reduce or refinance part of the commitments under the Term Loan Credit Agreement prior to completion of the Combination with alternative sources of financing.In accordance with Rule 2.7(d) of the Code, Rothschild & Co and J.P. Morgan, acting as financial advisers to Prologis, are satisfied that sufficient resources are available to satisfy in full the cash consideration payable to SEGRO Shareholders under the Partial Cash Alternative. | 11SEGRO Share SchemesParticipants in the SEGRO Share Schemes shall be contacted regarding the effect of the Combination on their rights under the SEGRO Share Schemes and, where required, appropriate proposals shall be made to such participants in accordance with Rule 15 of the Code in due course. Further details of the terms of such proposals shall be included in the Scheme Document. | 12Offer-Related Agreements
| 13Structure of and Conditions to the CombinationIt is intended that the Combination will be effected by means of the Scheme between SEGRO and Scheme Shareholders under Part 26 of the Companies Act.The purpose of the Scheme is to provide for Prologis to become the holder of the entire issued and to be issued share capital of SEGRO. This is to be achieved by the transfer of the Scheme Shares to Prologis, in consideration for which Scheme Shareholders shall receive the Combination Consideration on the basis set out in paragraphs 2 and 3 of this announcement.The Combination shall be subject to the Conditions and further terms set out below and in Appendix I and to be set out in the Scheme Document and shall only become effective, if, amongst other things, the following events occur on or before 11.59 p.m. on the Long-stop Date:
| 14De-listingPrior to the Scheme becoming effective, SEGRO shall make an application for the cancellation of the listing of SEGRO Shares on the Official List and Euronext Paris and for the cancellation of trading of the SEGRO Shares on the Main Market for listed securities and Euronext Paris, in each case to take effect on or shortly after the Effective Date. The last day of dealings in SEGRO Shares on the Main Market and Euronext Paris is expected to be the Business Day immediately prior to the Effective Date and no transfers shall be registered after 6.00 p.m. on that date.On the Effective Date, share certificates in respect of SEGRO Shares shall cease to be valid and entitlements to SEGRO Shares held within the CREST system shall be cancelled. | 15Listing of New Prologis Shares on the NYSE and UK Secondary ListingApplication will be made for the listing of New Prologis Shares on the New York Stock Exchange. In addition, Prologis will make an application to the FCA for the Prologis Shares (including the New Prologis Shares) to be admitted to the equity shares (international commercial companies secondary listing) category of the Official List maintained by the FCA and to the London Stock Exchange for the Prologis Shares (including the New Prologis Shares) to be admitted to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange.Further details on the timing of the listing and settlement of New Prologis Shares on or shortly after the Effective Date will be included in the Scheme Document. | 16DividendsUnder the terms of the Combination, SEGRO Shareholders shall be entitled to receive and retain the 2026 Interim Dividend, as announced by SEGRO on 30 July 2026, without any reduction to the Combination Consideration.SEGRO Shareholders shall also be entitled to receive and retain the 2026 Final Dividend if it is announced, declared, paid or made prior to the Effective Date, on the terms set out in this announcement, without any reduction to the Combination Consideration. In order to ensure that the 2026 Final Dividend can be declared and paid prior to the expected Effective Date (which is expected to occur during H1 2027), SEGRO expects that the Dividend GM will take place no later than March 2027 and the record date in respect of the 2026 Final Dividend will be commensurately earlier than SEGRO’s ordinary course dividend timetable. SEGRO does not intend to convene the Scheme Hearing and/or deliver the Court Order to the Registrar of Companies until the Dividend GM has taken place.Should the timetable extend beyond the anticipated date for completion of the Combination (and the Scheme becoming Effective), SEGRO Shareholders shall also be entitled to receive and retain:
| 17Disclosure of Interests in SEGROSave in respect of the irrevocable undertakings referred to in paragraph 6 above and as disclosed below, as at the close of business on 3 August 2026 (being the last practicable date prior to the date of this announcement) neither Prologis, any of its directors, or, so far as Prologis is aware, any person acting in concert (within the meaning of the Takeover Code) with it has either: (i) any interest in or right to subscribe for any relevant securities of SEGRO; or (ii) any short positions in respect of relevant SEGRO Shares (whether conditional or absolute and whether in the money or otherwise), including any short position under a derivative, any agreement to sell or any delivery obligation or right to require another person to purchase or take delivery; or (iii) any dealing arrangement of the kind referred to in Note 11 of the definition of acting in concert in the Takeover Code, in relation to SEGRO Shares or in relation to any securities convertible into SEGRO Shares; nor (iv) borrowed or lent any relevant SEGRO Shares (including, for these purposes, any financial collateral arrangements of the kind referred to in Note 3 on Rule 4.6 of the Takeover Code), save for any borrowed shares which had been either on-lent or sold: |

The Combination shall be implemented by means of the Scheme (although Prologis reserves the right to implement the Combination by way of a Takeover Offer as described below, with the consent of the Panel (if required) and subject to the terms of the Co-operation Agreement), and the Scheme Document, together with the Forms of Proxy and the Forms of Election, shall contain the full terms and conditions of the Combination, including details of how to vote in respect of the Combination.

Prologis reserves the right to elect (with the consent of the Panel (if required), and subject to the terms of the Co-operation Agreement) to implement the Combination by way of a Takeover Offer for the SEGRO Shares as an alternative to the Scheme.

Overseas Shareholders
The release, publication or distribution of this announcement in or into certain jurisdictions other than the United Kingdom may be restricted by law and therefore any persons who are subject to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United Kingdom should inform themselves about, and observe, any applicable requirements.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the companies and persons involved in the Combination disclaim any responsibility or liability for the violation of such restrictions by any person. This announcement has been prepared for the purpose of complying with English law and the Code and the information disclosed may not be the same as that which would have been disclosed if this announcement had been prepared in accordance with the laws of jurisdictions outside of England and Wales.
Unless otherwise determined by Prologis or required by the Code, and permitted by applicable law and regulation, the Combination shall not be made available, directly or indirectly, in, into or from a Restricted Jurisdiction where to do so would violate the laws in that jurisdiction and no person may vote in favour of the Combination by any such use, means, instrumentality or form within a Restricted Jurisdiction or any other jurisdiction if to do so would constitute a violation of the laws of that jurisdiction. Accordingly, copies of this announcement and all documents relating to the Combination are not being, and must not be, directly or indirectly, mailed or otherwise forwarded, distributed or sent in, into or from a Restricted Jurisdiction or any jurisdiction where to do so would violate the laws in that jurisdiction, and persons receiving this announcement and all documents relating to the Combination (including custodians, nominees and trustees) must not mail or otherwise forward, distribute or send them in, into or from such jurisdictions where to do so would violate the laws in that jurisdiction. Doing so may render invalid any related purported vote in respect of the Combination.
The availability of the Combination to SEGRO Shareholders who are not resident in the United Kingdom may be affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdictions in which they are resident. Persons who are not resident in the United Kingdom should inform themselves of, and observe, any applicable requirements.
The New Prologis Shares may not be offered, sold or delivered, directly or indirectly, in, into or from any Restricted Jurisdiction or to, or for the account or benefit of, any Restricted Overseas Persons except pursuant to an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, applicable securities laws of those jurisdictions.
Further details in relation to Overseas Shareholders shall be contained in the Scheme Document.
Additional information related to US law
The Combination relates to shares of a UK company and is proposed to be effected by means of a court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement under the laws of England and Wales. A transaction effected by means of a scheme of arrangement is not subject to the tender offer rules or the proxy solicitation rules under the US Exchange Act and is exempt from the registration requirements under the US Securities Act.
Accordingly, the Combination is subject to the disclosure and procedural requirements applicable in the United Kingdom to schemes of arrangement which differ from the disclosure requirements of US tender offer rules and proxy solicitation rules and the registration requirements under the US Securities Act.
However, if Prologis were to elect to implement the Combination by means of a Takeover Offer (subject to the consent of the Panel (if required) and the terms of the Co-operation Agreement), such takeover offer will be made in compliance with all applicable US laws and regulations.
The New Prologis Shares to be issued pursuant to the Scheme will not be registered under the US Securities Act or any US state securities laws and will be issued pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(10) of the US Securities Act and similar exemptions under applicable US state securities laws. New Prologis Shares issued to persons other than “affiliates” of Prologis or the Combined Group (defined generally as certain control persons in Rule 144 under the US Securities Act) will be freely transferable under US federal securities law after the Combination. Persons (whether or not US persons) who are or will be “affiliates” of Prologis within 90 days prior to, or of the Combined Group after, the Effective Date will be subject to certain transfer restrictions relating to the New Prologis Shares under US federal securities law. If, in the future, Prologis elects to implement the Combination by way of a Takeover Offer or otherwise in a manner that is not exempt from the registration requirements of the US Securities Act, it will file a registration statement with the SEC that will contain a prospectus/offer to exchange with respect to the issuance of the New Prologis Shares. In that event, SEGRO Shareholders are urged to read the registration statement, the prospectus/offer to exchange and the other relevant documents filed with the SEC carefully and in their entirety if and when they become available as they will contain important information. SEGRO Shareholders will be able to obtain free copies of these documents (if and when available) and other documents filed with the SEC by Prologis through the website maintained by the SEC at http://www.sec.gov and by visiting Prologis’ investor relations website at https://ir.prologis.com. These documents (if and when available) may also be obtained free of charge from Prologis by requesting them from Investor Relations by mail at Pier 1, Bay 1, San Francisco, CA 94111.
For the purpose of qualifying for the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(10) of the US Securities Act, SEGRO will advise the Court that its sanctioning of the Scheme will be relied on by Prologis as an approval of the Scheme following a hearing on its fairness to SEGRO Shareholders, at which Court Hearing all SEGRO Shareholders are entitled to attend in person or through counsel to support or oppose the sanctioning of the Scheme and with respect to which notification will be given to all such holders.
In accordance with normal United Kingdom practice (and, in the event the Combination is to be implemented by way of a Takeover Offer, in accordance with Rule 14e-5(b) under the US Exchange Act), Prologis or its nominees, or its brokers (acting as agents), may from time to time make certain purchases of, or arrangements to purchase, shares or other securities of SEGRO outside of the US, other than pursuant to the Combination, until the date on which the Combination and/or Scheme becomes effective, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn. These purchases may occur either in the open market at prevailing prices or in private transactions at negotiated prices (and, in the event the Combination is to be implemented by way of a Takeover Offer, outside of the United States). Any information about such purchases or arrangements to purchase will be disclosed as required in the UK, will be reported to a Regulatory Information Service and will be available on the London Stock Exchange website at www.londonstockexchange.com.
Additional information for US investors
Financial information relating to SEGRO included in this announcement and the Scheme Document has been or will have been prepared in accordance with accounting standards applicable in the United Kingdom and may not be comparable to financial information of US companies or companies whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
Prologis is organised under the laws of the State of Maryland, United States, and SEGRO is organised under the laws of England and Wales. Some of the officers and directors of Prologis and SEGRO, respectively, are residents of countries other than the United States. In addition, most of the assets of SEGRO and some of the assets of Prologis are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for US shareholders of SEGRO to enforce their rights and any claim arising out of the federal or state securities laws of the United States in connection with the Combination against, or to effect service of process within the United States upon, SEGRO or its officers or directors or to enforce against them a judgment of a US court predicated upon the federal or state securities laws of the United States.
High-Level U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences
The receipt of consideration by a US holder for the transfer of its SEGRO Shares (or, cash consideration under the Partial Cash Alternative) pursuant to the Scheme is expected to be a taxable transaction for United States federal income tax purposes.
For certain SEGRO Shareholders, section 304 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (IRC) may apply to the Combination, in which case the cash consideration received pursuant to the Combination may be subject to U.S. federal income tax as a deemed dividend (“U.S. Deemed Dividend Tax”). For U.S. SEGRO Shareholders, dividends are generally taxable as ordinary income, subject to any reduced tax rates or deductions provided under the IRC. For Non-U.S. SEGRO Shareholders, U.S. Deemed Dividend Tax may be collected via a withholding tax at a 30 per cent rate (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) from the cash consideration received pursuant to the Combination.
The Scheme Document will contain details on certain expected US and UK tax consequences of the Combination, including the potential application of section 304 of the IRC (and details of any paperwork available to mitigate any potential withholding tax in respect thereof).
Securities Ratings
This announcement contains securities ratings. A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be revised or withdrawn at any time by the issuing agency.
Forward Looking Statements
This announcement (including information incorporated by reference in this announcement), oral statements made regarding the Combination, and other information published by Prologis, any member of the Prologis Group, SEGRO or any member of the SEGRO Group and that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 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 regarding the business strategies and the environment in which Prologis, any member of the Prologis Group, SEGRO, any member of the SEGRO Group or the Combined Group will operate in the future. Such statements involve uncertainties that could significantly impact Prologis’ or SEGRO’s financial results. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “designs,” “aims,” “would,” “should,” “could,” 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. All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that Prologis or SEGRO expects or anticipates will occur in the future – including statements relating to the Combination, rent and occupancy growth, acquisition and development activity, including data center developments and power procurement related thereto, contribution and disposition activity, general conditions in the geographic areas where Prologis and SEGRO operate, expectations regarding new lines of business, Prologis’ and SEGRO’s respective debt, capital structure and financial position, Prologis’ or SEGRO’s ability to earn revenues from co-investment ventures or form new co-investment ventures and the availability of capital in existing or new co-investment ventures – are forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Although Prologis and SEGRO believe the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, neither Prologis nor SEGRO can give any assurance that these expectations will be attained, and therefore actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that may affect outcomes and results include, but are not limited to: (i) Prologis’ and SEGRO’s ability to complete the Combination on the proposed terms or on the anticipated timeline, or at all, including risks and uncertainties relating to satisfying the Conditions; (ii) the effect of the Combination on the ability of Prologis and SEGRO to operate their respective businesses and retain and hire key personnel and to maintain favourable business relationships; (iii) failure to realize expected benefits or synergies of the Combination; (iv) significant transaction costs and/or unknown or inestimable liabilities; (v) the risk of shareholder litigation in connection with the Combination, including resulting expense or delay; (vi) the risk that SEGRO’s business will not be integrated successfully or that such integration may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected; (vii) risks related to future opportunities and plans for the Combined Group, including the uncertainty of expected future financial performance and results of the Combined Group following the Effective Date; (viii) risks related to the market value of the New Prologis Shares, including foreign currency exchange rates; (ix) other risks related to the completion of the Combination and actions related thereto; (x) international, national, regional and local economic and political climates and conditions; (xi) changes in global financial markets, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates; (xii) increased or unanticipated competition for Prologis’ or SEGRO’s properties; (xiii) risks associated with acquisitions, dispositions and development of properties, including those specific to data center development and the integration of the operations of significant real estate portfolios; (xiv) maintenance of REIT status, tax structuring and changes in income tax laws and rates; (xv) availability of financing and capital, the levels of debt that Prologis and SEGRO maintain and their credit ratings; (xvi) risks related to Prologis’ and SEGRO’s investments in and management of their co-investment ventures, including ability to establish new co-investment ventures; (xvii) risks of doing business internationally, including currency risks; (xviii) environmental uncertainties, including risks of natural disasters; (xix) risks related to global pandemics; and (xx) those additional factors discussed under Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in Prologis’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and in subsequent documents filed with the SEC (together with each of the factors described in detail in SEGRO’s 2025 annual report under the heading “Principal Risks”). None of Prologis, the Prologis Group, SEGRO or the SEGRO Group undertake any duty to update any forward-looking statements appearing in this announcement except as may be required by law.
None of Prologis, any member of the Prologis Group, SEGRO, any member of the SEGRO Group nor any of their respective associates, directors, officers, employees or advisers, provides any representation, assurance or guarantee that the occurrence of the events expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements in this announcement will actually occur. Given these risks and uncertainties, potential investors should not place any reliance on forward looking statements.
Forward-looking statements speak only at the date of this announcement. All subsequent oral or written forward-looking statements attributable to Prologis, any member of the Prologis Group, SEGRO, any member of the SEGRO Group, or any of their respective associates, directors, officers, employees or advisers, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statement above.
Non-GAAP measures
This announcement includes certain terms and non-GAAP financial measures that are not specifically defined herein, including “Core FFO” per share and “AFFO” per share. These terms and financial measures for Prologis are defined and, in the case of the non-GAAP financial measures, reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, in Prologis’ quarterly Earnings Release and Supplemental Information that is available on Prologis’ investor relations website at https://ir.prologis.com and on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
No profit forecasts or estimates
No statement in this announcement is intended as a profit forecast or estimate for any period and no statement in this announcement should be interpreted to mean that earnings or earnings per share for Prologis, SEGRO or the Combined Group, as appropriate, for the current or future financial years would necessarily match or exceed the historical published earnings or earnings per share for Prologis or SEGRO, as appropriate.
Disclosure requirements of the Code
Under Rule 8.3(a) of the Code, any person who is interested in 1% or more of any class of relevant securities of an offeree company or of any securities exchange offeror (being any offeror other than an offeror in respect of which it has been announced that its offer is, or is likely to be, solely in cash) must make an Opening Position Disclosure following the commencement of the offer period and, if later, following the announcement in which any securities exchange offeror is first identified. An Opening Position Disclosure must contain details of the person’s interests and short positions in, and rights to subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of (i) the offeree company and (ii) any securities exchange offeror(s). An Opening Position Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(a) applies must be made by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the 10th business day following the commencement of the offer period and, if appropriate, by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the 10th business day following the announcement in which any securities exchange offeror is first identified. Relevant persons who deal in the relevant securities of the offeree company or of a securities exchange offeror prior to the deadline for making an Opening Position Disclosure must instead make a Dealing Disclosure.
Under Rule 8.3(b) of the Code, any person who is, or becomes, interested in 1% or more of any class of relevant securities of the offeree company or of any securities exchange offeror must make a Dealing Disclosure if the person deals in any relevant securities of the offeree company or of any securities exchange offeror. A Dealing Disclosure must contain details of the dealing concerned and of the person’s interests and short positions in, and rights to subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of (i) the offeree company and (ii) any securities exchange offeror(s), save to the extent that these details have previously been disclosed under Rule 8. A Dealing Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(b) applies must be made by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the business day following the date of the relevant dealing.
If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire or control an interest in relevant securities of an offeree company or a securities exchange offeror, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3.
Opening Position Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company and by any offeror and Dealing Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company, by any offeror and by any persons acting in concert with any of them (see Rules 8.1, 8.2 and 8.4).
Details of the offeree and offeror companies in respect of whose relevant securities Opening Position Disclosures and Dealing Disclosures must be made can be found in the Disclosure Table on the Panel’s website at www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk, including details of the number of relevant securities in issue, when the offer period commenced and when any offeror was first identified.

Scheme approval
| 2The Scheme will be conditional upon: | 2.1
| 3In addition, subject as stated in Part B below and to the requirements of the Panel, the Combination will be conditional upon the following Conditions and, accordingly, the Court Order will not be delivered to the Registrar of Companies unless such Conditions (as amended if appropriate) have been satisfied or, where relevant, waived:European Commission clearance(a) insofar as the Combination falls within the scope of the EUMR:
|
Part B: Certain further terms of the Combination
| 1Subject to the requirements of the Panel, Prologis reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to waive, in whole or in part, all or any of the Conditions set out in Part A of this Appendix I, except Conditions 2.1(a), 2.2(a), 2.3(a), 3(e), 3(f), 3(g) and 3(h), which cannot be waived by Prologis. Conditions 3(g) and 3(h) may be waived by SEGRO. The deadlines in any of Conditions 2.1(b), 2.2(b), and 2.3(b) may be extended to such later date as may be agreed: (a) in writing by Prologis and SEGRO; or (b) (in a competitive situation) specified by Prologis with the consent of the Panel, and in either case with the approval of the Court, if such approval is required. If any of Conditions 2.1(b), 2.2(b), and 2.3(b) is not satisfied by the relevant deadline specified in the relevant Condition, Prologis will make an announcement by 8.00 a.m. on the Business Day following such deadline confirming whether it has invoked the relevant Condition, waived the relevant deadlines, or agreed with SEGRO to extend the relevant deadline. | 2The Scheme shall be subject to the satisfaction (or waiver, if permitted) of the Conditions set out in Part A of this Appendix I, to the further terms set out in this Part B of this Appendix I, and to the full terms and conditions which will be set out in the Scheme Document, and such further terms as may be required to comply with the provisions of the Code. | 3If Prologis is required by the Panel to make an offer for SEGRO Shares under the provisions of Rule 9 of the Code, Prologis may make such alterations to any of the above Conditions and terms of the Combination as are necessary to comply with the provisions of that Rule. | 4Prologis will be under no obligation to waive (if capable of waiver), to determine to be or remain satisfied or to treat as fulfilled any of the Conditions in Part A of this Appendix I above that are capable of waiver by a date earlier than the latest date for the fulfilment of that Condition notwithstanding that the other Conditions to the Combination may at such earlier date have been waived or fulfilled and that there are at such earlier date no circumstances indicating that any of such Conditions may not be capable of fulfilment. | 5Under Rule 13.5(a) of the Code and subject to paragraph 6 below, Prologis may only invoke a Condition so as to cause the Combination not to proceed, to lapse, or to be withdrawn with the consent of the Panel. The Panel will normally only give its consent if the circumstances which give rise to the right to invoke the Condition are of material significance to Prologis in the context of the Combination. This will be judged by reference to the facts of each case at the time that the relevant circumstances arise. | 6Condition 1 and Conditions 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 3(e), 3(f), 3(g) and 3(h) in Part A of this Appendix I, and, if applicable, any acceptance condition if the Combination is implemented by way of a Takeover Offer, are not subject to Rule 13.5(a) of the Code. | 7Any Condition that is subject to Rule 13.5(a) of the Code may be waived by Prologis. | 8The SEGRO Shares shall be acquired by Prologis under the Scheme fully paid and free from all liens, equities, charges, encumbrances, options, rights of pre-emption and any other third party rights and interests of any nature and together with all rights now or hereafter attaching or accruing to them, including, without limitation, voting rights and the right to receive and retain in full all dividends and other distributions (if any) declared, made or paid, or any other return of value (whether by reduction of share capital or share premium account or otherwise) made, on or after the Effective Date, save for any SEGRO Permitted Dividends. | 9If, on or after the date of this announcement and prior to the Effective Date, SEGRO announces, declares, makes or pays any SEGRO Excluded Dividend, Prologis shall (save where the Panel consents otherwise in connection with a SEGRO Equalising Dividend) reduce the Combination Consideration by an amount equivalent to all or part of such excess (in the case of a SEGRO Permitted Dividend) or by the amount of all or part of any such other dividend, distribution or return of capital, in which case any reference in this announcement or in the Scheme Document (or, in the event that the Combination is to be implemented by means of any Takeover Offer, the offer document) to the consideration will be deemed to be a reference to the consideration as so reduced.If and to the extent that such a dividend, distribution, or other return of value has been declared or announced, but not paid or made, or is not payable by reference to a record date on or prior to the Effective Date and is or shall be: (i) transferred pursuant to the Combination on a basis which entitles Prologis to receive the dividend, distribution or other return of value and to retain it; or (ii) cancelled, the Combination Consideration shall not be subject to change in accordance with this paragraph 9.If, on or after the date of this announcement and prior to the Effective Date, Prologis announces, declares, makes or pays any Prologis Excluded Dividend, SEGRO shall be entitled under the Co-operation Agreement to declare and pay a SEGRO Equalising Dividend without, if the Panel so consents, any consequential change to the Combination Consideration. Due to the nature of Prologis’ Best and Final Proposal, any SEGRO Equalising Dividend may result in Prologis being required to make a consequential reduction to the Combination Consideration. Accordingly, prior to paying any SEGRO Equalising Dividend, SEGRO would intend to seek the Panel’s consent that it could do so without any such consequential reduction being required.Any exercise by Prologis or SEGRO of their rights referred to in this paragraph 9 will be the subject of an announcement and, for the avoidance of doubt, will not be regarded as constituting any revision or variation of the terms of the Scheme or the Combination (other than in respect of the Combination Consideration).Prologis also reserves the right to reduce the consideration payable under the Combination in respect of a SEGRO Share in such circumstances as are, and by such amount as is, permitted by the Panel. | 10Prologis reserves the right to elect (with the consent of the Panel (if required), and subject to the terms of the Co-operation Agreement) to implement the Combination by way of a Takeover Offer for the SEGRO Shares as an alternative to the Scheme. In such event, the Takeover Offer shall be implemented on the same terms, so far as applicable, and subject to the terms of the Co-operation Agreement, as those which would apply to the Scheme, subject to appropriate amendments (including without limitation: (i) amendments required by, or deemed appropriate by, Prologis under applicable law, including US securities law; and (ii) an acceptance condition set at 75 per cent of SEGRO Shares or such lesser percentage as Prologis may decide or as required by the Panel (subject to the terms of the Co-operation Agreement), being in any case more than 50 per cent of SEGRO Shares). Further, if sufficient acceptances of such Takeover Offer are received and/or sufficient SEGRO Shares are otherwise acquired, it is the intention of Prologis to apply the provisions of the Companies Act 2006 to acquire compulsorily any outstanding SEGRO Shares to which such offer relates. | 11The availability of the Combination to persons not resident in the United Kingdom may be affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdictions. Persons who are not resident in the United Kingdom should inform themselves about and observe any applicable requirements. | 12The Combination shall not be made available, directly or indirectly, in, into or from a Restricted Jurisdiction where to do so would violate the laws in that jurisdiction and no person may vote in favour of the Combination by any such use, means, instrumentality or form within a Restricted Jurisdiction or any other jurisdiction if to do so would constitute a violation of the laws of that jurisdiction. Accordingly, copies of this announcement and all documents relating to the Combination are not being, and must not be, directly or indirectly, mailed or otherwise forwarded, distributed or sent in, into or from a Restricted Jurisdiction or any jurisdiction where to do so would violate the laws in that jurisdiction, and persons receiving this announcement and all documents relating to the Combination (including, without limitation, custodians, nominees and trustees) must not mail or otherwise forward, distribute or send them in, into or from such jurisdictions where to do so would violate the laws in that jurisdiction. Doing so may render invalid any related purported vote in respect of the Combination. | 13The New Prologis Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. | 14The Combination is governed by the law of England and Wales and is subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales and to the Conditions and further terms set out in this Appendix I, and which shall be set out in the Scheme Document. The Combination shall be subject to the applicable requirements of the Code, the Panel, the London Stock Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange, United States federal securities laws, Euronext Paris and the FCA. | 15Each of the Conditions shall be regarded as a separate Condition (as applicable) and shall not be limited by reference to any other Condition. |
APPENDIX II
SOURCES OF INFORMATION AND BASES OF CALCULATION
- Share price and volume weighted average share price data is derived from FactSet.
- GBP:USD exchange rate of 1.3371 on 21 July 2026 per FactSet, and 1.3438 at market close on 3 August 2026 per FactSet.
- The value attributed to SEGRO's issued share capital (and therefore the value of the Combination and the Maximum Cash Amount) is based upon fully diluted share capital of 1,360,774,299 SEGRO ordinary shares of 10 pence each, comprising:
- 1,354,090,872 ordinary shares in issue as of 16 July 2026 as announced by SEGRO pursuant to Rule 2.9 of the Takeover Code (with no shares held in treasury); and
- 6,683,427 shares relating to SEGRO Share Schemes. This figure is net of shares held by the SEGRO Employee Benefit Trust.
- Prologis’ issued share capital is based upon fully diluted share capital of 960,233,187 shares at par value of $0.01 per share, comprising:
- 933,083,372 shares of common stock at par value of $0.01 per share (with no shares held in treasury); and
- 27,149,815 shares, primarily comprising shares issuable upon the exchange of common limited partnership units in Prologis, L.P. and pursuant to Prologis’ share schemes.
- Basic entitlements under the Partial Cash Alternative calculated as (i) exchange ratio of 0.0920 multiplied by 75 per cent; and (ii) the fixed cash amount per share of 1,031.7 pence multiplied by 25 per cent.
- Combination Consideration of 1,031.7 pence per SEGRO Share is based on the closing price per Prologis Share of $149.94 divided by the GBP:USD exchange rate of 1.3371 on 21 July 2026 and multiplied by 0.0690 (being the exchange ratio multiplied by 75 per cent per the basic entitlement) and plus 258 pence (being the cash basic entitlement). This is on the basis that the Partial Cash Alternative is fully taken up.
- The figure of 1,054.3 pence per SEGRO Share reflects 1,031.7 per SEGRO Share plus SEGRO’s 2026 Final Dividend of up to 22.56 pence per SEGRO Share (if declared and paid in full).
- See-through value of the offer as at the last practicable date prior to the date of this announcement calculated as the PLD share price of $144.15 divided by the GBP:USD exchange rate of 1.3438 and multiplied by 0.0690 (being the exchange ratio multiplied by 75 per cent per the basic entitlement) and plus 258 pence (being the cash basic entitlement). This is on the basis that the Partial Cash Alternative is fully taken up.
- Premium to EPRA NTA is calculated by reference to the SEGRO 30 June 2026 EPRA NTA of 902 pence.
- SEGRO's shareholding in the Combined Group, assuming a full take up of the Partial Cash Alternative, is calculated as (i) New Prologis Shares of 93,893,427 (calculated as 1,360,774,299 SEGRO Shares multiplied by 0.0690 exchange ratio at the basic entitlement); divided by (ii) the Combined Group issued share capital of 1,054,126,614 (equal to the existing Prologis fully diluted issued share capital of 960,233,187 plus the newly issued shares of 93,893,427).
- SEGRO's shareholding in the Combined Group, assuming there is no take up of the Partial Cash Alternative, is calculated as (i) New Prologis Shares of 125,191,236 (calculated as 1,360,774,299 SEGRO Shares multiplied by 0.0920 exchange ratio at the basic entitlement); divided by (ii) the Combined Group issued share capital of 1,085,424,423 (equal to the existing Prologis fully diluted issued share capital of 960,233,187 plus the newly issued shares of 125,191,236).
- Prologis’ market capitalisation is calculated based on the share price at market close on 3 August 2026 of $144.15 multiplied by Prologis’ fully diluted share count of 960,233,187 Prologis Shares.
- SEGRO’s market capitalisation is calculated based on the share price at market close on 23 June 2026 of 742 pence multiplied by SEGRO’s fully diluted share count of 1,360,774,299 SEGRO Shares.
- Prologis’ power pipeline as of Q2 2026 is as set out in Prologis’ quarterly earnings release and Supplemental Financial Report on 16 July 2026.
- The Combined Group’s AUM of approximately £200 billion is a rounded figure, representing the aggregate of:
- Prologis’ AUM of £178.4 billion as at 30 June 2026, which is sourced from Prologis’ Q2 2026 Supplemental Financial Report released on 16 July 2026, converted at the spot rate of GBP:USD 1.3438 on 3 August 2026; and
- SEGRO’s AUM of £21.7 billion, which is sourced from SEGRO’s Half Year Results, comprising: (i) approximately £15.656 billion directly or indirectly wholly owned by SEGRO; and (ii) approximately £6.088 billion held in SEGRO’s joint ventures.
