Prologis Rebuffed in $16.6 Billion Takeover Approach for U.K.'s Segro
By Adria Calatayud
Prologis, the world's largest owner of industrial real estate, said it made a 12.6 billion-pound ($16.63 billion) takeover approach for smaller U.K. peer Segro, which turned down the proposal.
Under Prologis's proposal, Segro shareholders would have received 0.084 new Prologis shares for each Segro share held, implying a value of 925 pence a share, the U.S. company said Wednesday. This represents a 25% premium to Segro's closing price on Tuesday, it added.
Segro's board unequivocally rejected the proposal, Prologis said.
Prologis said it sees a clear strategic rationale for a combination and urged Segro shareholders to encourage the board to engage with Prologis and allow them to consider an offer.
