CMA Opens Pre-Notification on Prologis's Anticipated Acquisition of SEGRO plc, Inviting Market Views by 10 November

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) launched a pre-notification invitation to comment on 27 October 2026, seeking initial views on the anticipated acquisition by Prologis, L.P. of SEGRO plc, the FTSE-listed industrial and logistics real estate investment trust. The CMA has not yet formally commenced its Phase 1 investigation, but has confirmed it received the necessary information from the parties to begin the pre-notification stage. Interested parties have until 10 November 2026 to submit written representations to the CMA. The merger would combine two of the world's largest logistics and warehouse real estate platforms. Prologis is a major US-headquartered industrial property group, and SEGRO is one of the UK's leading owners and managers of warehouse and urban logistics assets. The deal sits within the building and construction market sector as categorised by the CMA. The CMA's statutory timetable for its Phase 1 decision and the formal launch date of the merger inquiry remain to be confirmed. The pre-notification stage is the first step in the CMA's information-gathering process under Part 3 of the Enterprise Act 2002, before a formal investigation clock begins. No advisers have been named in the public record at this stage.
