Warehouse REIT delists from London Stock Exchange following takeover

LONDON - Warehouse REIT plc has completed its delisting from the London Stock Exchange, effective Thursday morning, following its acquisition by Blackstone-backed Wapping Bidco Ltd.

The company’s shares were removed from the Equity Shares (Closed-ended investment funds) category of the Official List and ceased trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange as of 8:00 a.m. on Thursday, according to a statement released by the company.

The delisting follows a recommended mandatory cash offer from Wapping Bidco Ltd, a newly-formed company indirectly owned by investment funds advised by affiliates of Blackstone Inc. The takeover offer was initially documented on July 11, 2025, with Warehouse REIT announcing its intention to delist on September 11.

The company had previously submitted requests to both the Financial Conduct Authority and London Stock Exchange to cancel its listing and trading status.

Warehouse REIT, which specializes in UK warehouse and industrial property investments, confirmed the delisting is part of the implementation process of the acquisition that was detailed in the offer document published earlier this year.

The announcement marks the final stage in the public market presence of Warehouse REIT as it transitions to private ownership under Blackstone’s portfolio of real estate investments.

The statement noted that investors should refer to the full text of the offer document for complete details regarding the acquisition terms.
