Date. Any announcement of a delay, termination, waiver or amendment will be made as promptly as practicable and in any event no later than 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on the next business day following the previously scheduled Expiration Date. Subject to applicable law (including Rules 14d-4(c) and 14d-6(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which require that any material change in the information published, sent or given to shareholders in connection with the Offer be promptly disseminated to shareholders in a manner reasonably designed to inform them of such change) and without limiting the manner in which NewCo may choose to make any public announcement, NewCo assumes no obligation to publish, advertise or otherwise communicate any such public announcement of this type other than by issuing a press release. During any extension, Cadeler Shares and Cadeler ADSs previously validly tendered and not validly withdrawn will remain subject to the Offer, subject to the right of each Cadeler Shareholder to withdraw previously tendered Cadeler Shares and/or Cadeler ADSs. There will be no subsequent offering period following the Expiration Date.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Offer and applicable law, NewCo also reserves the right to waive any Offer Condition or modify the terms of the Offer, including the Minimum Condition, except that certain Offer Conditions may not be amended, modified or waived as described in the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange.
Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the NewCo Shares to be issued as consideration in the Offer or passed on upon the adequacy or accuracy of the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
Upon the terms of the Offer and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the Offer Conditions (including, if the Offer is extended or amended, the terms and conditions of any such extension or amendment in accordance with applicable law and the terms of the Offer), promptly after the Expiration Date, NewCo will accept for exchange, and will thereafter promptly exchange, Cadeler Shares and Cadeler ADSs validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date. In all cases, a Cadeler Shareholder will receive the Offer Consideration for tendered Cadeler Shares and/or Cadeler ADSs only after timely receipt by the exchange agent of either a confirmation of a book-entry transfer of such Cadeler ADSs if the Cadeler ADSs are held in “street name” or a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal if the Cadeler ADSs are held of record, in each case, together with any other required documents.
For purposes of the Offer, NewCo will be deemed to have accepted for exchange Cadeler Shares and/or Cadeler ADSs validly tendered and not validly withdrawn if and when it notifies the exchange agent of its acceptance of those shares pursuant to the Offer. The exchange agent will deliver to the applicable Cadeler Shareholders any NewCo Shares issuable in exchange for Cadeler Shares and/or Cadeler ADSs validly tendered and accepted pursuant to the Offer promptly after receipt of such notice. The exchange agent will act as the agent for tendering Cadeler Shareholders for the purpose of receiving NewCo Shares from NewCo and transmitting such NewCo Shares to the tendering Cadeler Shareholders.
Cadeler Shareholders may withdraw tendered Cadeler Shares and/or Cadeler ADSs at any time until the Expiration Date and, if NewCo has not agreed to accept the Cadeler Shares and/or Cadeler ADSs for exchange on or prior to November 19, 2026, Cadeler Shareholders may thereafter withdraw their shares from tender at any time after such date until NewCo accepts shares for exchange. Once NewCo accepts Cadeler Shares and/or Cadeler ADSs for exchange, they may no longer be withdrawn.
For the withdrawal of Cadeler Shares and/or Cadeler ADSs to be effective, the exchange agent must receive a written notice of withdrawal from the Cadeler Shareholder at one of the addresses set forth in the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange, prior to the Expiration Date or as otherwise permitted by applicable law. The notice must include the Cadeler Shareholder’s name, address, social security number (or tax identification number in the case of entities), the number of Cadeler Shares and/or Cadeler ADSs to be withdrawn and the name of the registered holder, if it is different from that of the person who tendered those shares, and any other information required pursuant to the Offer or the procedures of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), if applicable. For holders of Cadeler Shares recorded in VPS and trading on the Oslo Stock Exchange, acceptance of the Offer is irrevocable, and such Cadeler Shares may not be withdrawn once the acceptance form is received. Holders of Cadeler Shares recorded in VPS should consult the EU Prospectus and Offer Document for the procedures applicable outside the United States.
