shares for each SEGRO share). On June 23, 2026, the Board of SEGRO rejected the +1(212)357-1704 | jeremy.kuhl@gs.com
proposal. As mentioned in the PLD press release, if the deal were to close as Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC
Shailee Lnuoriginally stated, SEGRO shareholders would hold approximately 10.5% of PLD’s +1(332)245-7913 |
issued share capital. PLD’s offer, based on a PLD share price of $145.3 and a shailee.x.lnu@gs.comGoldman Sachs India SPL
GBP:USD exchange rate of 1.32 (at market close on June 23, 2026), implies a value of Harrison Slater, CFA
925 pence for each SEGRO share and values SEGRO at approximately £12.6bn, +1(212)902-7428 | harrison.slater@gs.com
representing a 24.6% premium to SEGRO’s share price of 742 pence (on June 23, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC
2026) and 31.4% premium to the 3-month volume weighted average SEGRO share
price of 704 pence (as of June 23, 2026).
Strategic rationale: In line with historical acquisitions PLD has completed, PLD
believes 1) its scale and expertise would allow it to better operate the assets,
realizing revenue and expense synergies, and 2) its lower leverage will allow better
financing capacity to develop non income producing assets (which would include
industrial properties and potential data center assets).
We note that PLD has completed large M&A deals in the past driving FFO accretion
