Offer Clears 92.02% Acceptance
By the 28 October 2026 expiration, 355,254,085 Cadeler Shares, including 11,156,931 represented by ADSs, were validly tendered and not withdrawn, a 92.02% acceptance rate that satisfies the minimum condition.
-
Squeeze-Out of Remaining Holders
With more than 90% held at completion, Cadeler plc intends to compulsorily acquire the untendered shares for cash under the Danish Companies Act, with the price and four-week transfer period set in a published notice.
-
Delisting and ADR Termination
Cadeler ADS trading on the NYSE is expected to be suspended before market open on or around 5 November 2026, with delisting 10 days later; Cadeler Shares are suspended on the OSE from 5 November 2026, and an EGM will be convened to approve the OSE delisting and terminate the ADR programme.
-
Squeeze-Out Financing With DNB
Cadeler plc has a Squeeze-out Facility with DNB Bank ASA to fund the cash payments; repayment may come through upstream intercompany loans, a private placement, or dividends from Cadeler Group entities within 12 months of completion.
Analysis · CDLR · Energy & Transportation
The exchange offer moving Cadeler's parent company from Denmark to the UK succeeded with 92.02% of shares tendered, above the 90% threshold that lets Cadeler plc compulsorily buy out the rest for cash. That means the Danish listing structure is being wound down: Cadeler ADSs stop trading on the NYSE around 5 November 2026 and delist 10 days later, the OSE listing is suspended the same day, and the ADR programme is terminated. Holders who did not tender will be forced out at a cash price set in the squeeze-out notice, so the terms of that notice — not the market — will determine what they receive. The DNB squeeze-out facility also opens the door to dividends or intercompany transfers out of Cadeler within 12 months of completion, which affects how much cash stays in the operating group.
