what happened

According to a disclosure published by SEGRO plc via the London Stock Exchange's RNS service, Amundi held 20,281,466 SEGRO shares as of October 20, 2026, equal to 1.498% of the capital, with no short positions. The fund also bought and sold shares at prices around 9 pounds each.

BlackRock reported holdings of 153,515,154 shares, or 11.33%. Including cash-settled derivatives, its total interest is 168,312,881 shares, or 12.42%. Short positions amount to 200,791 shares, or 0.01%. The firm also said it has no voting authority over 13,816,734 shares, although it keeps investment discretion over them.

The forms were filed under the Takeover Code because the disclosures also reference Prologis, Inc. as another party to the offer.

why it matters

Such notices are required for investors holding at least 1% of a company involved in a possible takeover. Large stakes held by asset managers show institutional involvement around SEGRO and help investors understand the shareholder structure. For the market, this is mainly an informational signal rather than a development that changes the company's fundamentals.
