VGP Raises €250 Million to Accelerate Projects and Announces Dividend Approval VGP raised about €250 million through a private placement of 3,056,234 new shares, equal to roughly 11.20% of the share count after the deal.
The company reported new and renewed leases year-to-date of €34.4 million, with an annualised committed lease amount of €486.4 million, 4% higher year-to-date and 12.6% higher year-over-year.
Shareholders approved all items at the 8 May 2026 meetings, including a gross dividend of €3.4 per share for the 2025 financial year.
For investors, the equity raise and trading update point in the same direction: VGP is putting fresh capital to work to support its development pipeline, while also reporting a higher level of contracted rent compared with both the start of the year and the prior year. The placement was targeted at international institutional investors, and the reference shareholder Jan Van Geet committed to a pro rata subscription, which can matter for confidence in the funding plan and for alignment with minority shareholders.
The company highlights an 18.5% rental uplift on reletting vacant areas and references key projects across the Netherlands, Romania, Spain and Denmark that are expected to start in 2026. It is also preparing several joint venture closings in the second half of 2026 and plans to introduce a data centre segment, with details scheduled for its Capital Markets Day in September. The approval of a €3.4 per share dividend for the 2025 year adds a clearer picture of cash returns alongside its current growth-focused investment agenda. Announcement • May 08
