The acceptance rate for KKR’s takeover offer for ENCAVIS is 87.41 percent
Frankfurt a. M. — KKR’s takeover offer for a total of 87,007,448 Encavis shares was accepted in due time on June 18, 2024. This corresponds to approximately 87.41 percent of all outstanding Encavis Shares, including the Encavis Shares which ABACON and other shareholders have sold to the Bidder under binding agreements or which will be transferred to the Bidder by way of a roll-over.
KKR intends to complete the delisting of Encavis as soon as legally and practically possible in order to benefit from the financial flexibility and long-term commitment of KKR and Viessmann in private ownership.
On March 14, 2024, the bidder announced a voluntary public takeover offer for all outstanding Encavis shares. Viessmann is investing as a shareholder in the consortium led by KKR. The voluntary public takeover offer is still subject to the conditions set out in sections 12.1.1, 12.1.3 (ii), (iv), (v) and 12.1.4 of the Offer Document. The transaction is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2024. The offer document and further information are available at www.elbe-offer.com.
In March 2024, the family-owned company Viessmann, together with KKR, announced a new strategic investment in Encavis, one of the leading platforms for renewable energies based in Hamburg. As part of the transaction, Viessmann invested as a shareholder in the KKR-led consortium.
