Neutral Impact 4 of 5 m&a Written later

Worthington Steel completed its takeover offer for Klöckner & Co SE on June 3, 2026, after 52,389,508 tendered Klöckner shares were accepted at €11.00 each, bringing its total holding to 60,710,791 shares. The total consideration for the tendered shares was €576,284,588, funded by notes offerings, a term loan and cash on hand. The company also intends to launch a delisting tender offer and a domination agreement with Klöckner, though the filing says there is no assurance either will be completed or when.

Key points

  • Holding: 60,710,791 Klöckner shares, about 60.86% of Klöckner's outstanding share capital, per the 8-K
  • Consideration: €11.00 per tendered share, €576,284,588 in total for tendered shares
  • Funding: net proceeds from U.S. dollar and euro notes offering, term loan borrowing and cash on hand
