What we know

Blackstone Europe LLP has agreed to acquire Big Yellow Group PLC in a transaction announced on 5 December 2025. The deal involves the purchase of the self-storage operator based in Great Britain. No specific financial consideration or deal value was disclosed in the available information regarding the transaction structure. The parties did not specify the form of payment or the exact nature of the deal type at the time of announcement.

The transaction has subsequently been abandoned. No completion date has been recorded for the proposed acquisition. The status of the deal remains terminated without further regulatory or corporate action. This outcome concludes the attempt by the private equity firm to take control of the listed target company. The lack of disclosed value suggests the agreement may have been non-binding or subject to significant uncertainty before termination.
