KKR/Greenvolt: Squeeze-Out Coming Next
- Core shareholders holding 60.86% accepted KKR’s €8.30/share offer, triggering a mandatory tender for minorities. Greenvolt’s revised offer price (€8.3107/share) represented a 95.5% IPO premium, but faced critiques for modest value.
- By October 25, KKR held 97.64% of Greenvolt’s share capital, surpassing the 90% threshold for a squeeze-out and delisting.
- The delisting is expected by late 2024 or early 2025, following squeeze-out completion. Minority shareholders will be compelled to sell, receiving €8.3107/share. Gross spread is 0.8%. Long.
