Prologis is selling 15 million shares at $139.85, raising roughly $2.1 billion in net proceeds. The capital is earmarked for general corporate purposes, including the pending £14.3 billion all-share acquisition of SEGRO plc. While the offering provides a cash buffer to support the deal, it dilutes existing shareholders by about 1.6%—or 1.8% if the overallotment is exercised. Pricing essentially at market reflects strong institutional demand, but the size signals the company is shoring up its balance sheet ahead of a transformative merger.
