Analysis · CDLR · Energy & Transportation
Cadeler's SC TO-T filing formalizes the mechanics of its redomiciliation from Denmark to the UK, but the real news is in the details: a EUR 220 million bridge facility with DNB Bank to fund the squeeze-out of non-tendering shareholders, and accelerated vesting of 193,011 RSUs that delivers 104,401 shares to CEO Mikkel Gleerup and 59,658 shares to CFO Peter Brogaard Hansen from treasury. The offer requires 90% minimum acceptance to trigger the squeeze-out, and the bridge facility carries a dividend prohibition while outstanding — meaning Cadeler Group may need to upstream dividends to NewCo within 12 months to repay it. This is the operational backbone of a corporate restructuring that will delist Cadeler A/S from Oslo and NYSE and relist Cadeler plc under the same tickers.
