Big Yellow says terminated takeover talks undervalued the company

15th Oct 2026 09:49

(Alliance News) - Big Yellow Group PLC on Thursday said it continued to focus on executing its strategy.

The Surrey-based self-storage company's statement responds to recent media coverage that a shareholder, which the firm recently met with, is encouraging it to explore a sale.

In December 2025, the company said it terminated October 2025 discussions over a potential sale, concluding the valuation "was not at a level that reflected the full potential of the company."

On Thursday, Big Yellow said its "board and management team continue to focus on executing the company's clear and proven strategy. The board is also cognisant of its fiduciary duties and continually evaluates all options for maximising shareholder value."

Ancora Holdings Group called on Big Yellow to launch a comprehensive strategic review, including a sale process.

The Cleveland, Ohio-based wealth management and advisory firm said it believes a sale represents the best risk-adjusted outcome for shareholders. Ancora disclosed that it had taken a stake of more than 4% in Big Yellow.

Shares in Big Yellow were up 3.4% at 870.50 pence on Thursday morning in London.
