SEGRO PLC ("SEGRO")
SELP EXCHANGES ON PURCHASE OF TRITAX EUROBOX ASSETS
Further to its announcement on 12 November 2024, SEGRO, in its role as venture adviser to the SEGRO European Logistics Partnership ("SELP") joint venture, today announces that SELP has exchanged on the purchase of a portfolio of six assets from Titanium Ruth Holdco Limited (formerly known as Tritax EuroBox plc). The transaction values 100% of the assets at €470 million, including relevant property taxes and subject to customary adjustments.
The portfolio totals 370,000 sq m of fully-leased, highly reversionary, modern logistics space. The assets are located in the established and attractive logistics hubs of Breda and Roosendaal in the Netherlands as well as in the Frankfurt corridor and the Rhine-Ruhr region in Germany. The assets currently generate approximately €24 million of headline rent, resulting in a blended net initial yield of 5.0 per cent and a net true equivalent yield of 5.4 per cent.
The transaction is conditional on European Union anti-trust clearance, which is expected in the first quarter of 2025.
David Sleath, CEO of SEGRO, said:
"We are delighted to have reached an agreement to purchase this portfolio of high-quality big box warehouses, located in some of Europe's most attractive logistics hubs. They will complement SELP's existing German and Dutch portfolios, offering both future rental growth potential and the ability to enhance returns through the benefits of increased scale."

About SELP
The SEGRO European Logistics Partnership (SELP) was created in October 2013 as a 50:50 joint venture between SEGRO and PSP Investments, the Canadian pension fund. At its inception, the portfolio injected by SEGRO comprised approximately €1 billion of grade A standing logistics investments and development land. The objective of the venture was to create a leading Continental European logistics platform, initially focused on six geographies, namely France, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Belgium and Netherlands.
Since then, SELP has also invested in big box warehouses in Italy and Spain and a combination of acquisitions, development and capital value growth means that, at 31 December 2023, the portfolio was valued at €6.7 billion and generated €342 million of annualised headline rent across 5.8 million square metres of lettable area.
SEGRO acts as asset, property and development manager for SELP.
