Tritax Big Box (BBOX) announced it’s walking away from its proposed £485mn offer to acquire rival Warehouse REIT.

The news follows Warehouse REIT’s decision to withdraw its recommendation to its shareholders to accept BBOX’s offer on 11 July. Instead, Warehouse REIT recommended an increased offer from rival bidder, Blackstone.

On 22 August, BBOX announced it had no intention to improve its offer.

BBOX is barred from making another offer for 12 months without the Warehouse REIT board’s consent.

The shares were broadly flat in early trading.
