Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction |
| BWA became a holder of Shares in connection with the Issuer's initial public offering and listing on the Oslo Stock Exchange in November 2020. On June 16, 2023, the Issuer and Eneti Inc. ("Eneti"), entered into a business combination agreement, pursuant to which, in part, the Issuer agreed to offer to exchange Cadeler ADSs for each outstanding share of common stock of Eneti (the "Eneti Shares"), with each Cadeler ADS representing four Shares (the "Tender Offer"). The Issuer launched the Tender Offer on November 7, 2023 and the Eneti Shares tendered in the Offer were exchanged for Cadeler ADSs on December 19, 2023, following which the Shares commenced trading on the NYSE. As a result of the Eneti business combination, BWA's beneficial ownership in the Issuer was diluted from 30.84% to 19.57%.
On February 15, 2024, BWA subscribed for Shares in the Private Placement and acquired 7,733,473 Shares, which maintained its beneficial ownership of the Shares at 19.57%. The Shares were acquired for investment purposes.
