Executive Summary
On November 2, 2026, Cadeler plc filed Form 425 announcing the final results of its voluntary share exchange offer to shareholders of Cadeler A/S (NYSE: CDLR, OSE: CADLR) in connection with its corporate redomiciliation from Denmark to the United Kingdom. The offer concluded with a 92.06% acceptance rate, surpassing the required minimum threshold and paving the way for a compulsory cash squeeze-out of minority holders, delisting of Cadeler A/S, and subsequent listing of Cadeler plc on the NYSE and Oslo Stock Exchange.
Transaction Details
- Tender Results: A total of 355,404,839 Cadeler Shares (including 11,156,931 shares represented by American Depositary Shares, or ADSs) were validly tendered and not withdrawn, representing 92.06% of outstanding voting shares (excluding treasury shares).
- Exchange Ratio: Each Cadeler A/S share is exchanged for one (1) ordinary share in Cadeler plc. The Cadeler plc board resolved to allot and issue 355,404,838 shares to accepting holders.
- Relative Ownership Increase: Because 7.94% of shareholders did not participate in the voluntary exchange, tendering holders will see their relative equity ownership in Cadeler plc increase by approximately 8.62% compared to their prior stake in Cadeler A/S.
- Settlement: Completion and settlement are scheduled for on or around November 4, 2026.
Squeeze-Out & Financing
- Compulsory Acquisition: With ownership exceeding 90%, Cadeler plc will initiate a squeeze-out of non-tendered shares pursuant to the Danish Companies Act.
- Cash Consideration: Non-tendering shareholders will receive NOK 58.42 in cash per share, calculated based on the 30-day volume-weighted average price (VWAP) on the Oslo Stock Exchange immediately preceding the offer.
- Financing Facility: Cash payouts for the squeeze-out will be funded through a dedicated credit facility arranged with DNB Bank ASA (the "Squeeze-out Facility"), intended to be refinanced via upstream group loans, a private placement, or intercompany dividend distributions.
