Cadeler combination with Eneti
We advised Cadeler on the transaction
Davis Polk advised Cadeler A/S on the merger of its wholly owned subsidiary, Wind MI Limited, with Eneti Inc. to complete the previously announced combination of the two businesses and create a leading offshore wind turbine and foundation installation company. The all-cash merger followed a stock-for-stock exchange offer made by Cadeler to all shareholders of Eneti. Completion of the merger followed a special meeting of Eneti’s stockholders held on December 29, 2023, at which Eneti’s stockholders voted in favor of the proposal to authorize and approve the merger. The combined company retains the Cadeler name and is listed on both the New York Stock Exchange and the Oslo Stock Exchange.
