Cadeler A/S filings document a foreign private issuer whose CDLR American depositary shares each represent four ordinary shares and whose ordinary shares trade on the Oslo Stock Exchange under CADLR. Its Form 6-K reports cover offshore wind installation and O&M activity, financial releases, annual meeting results, and corporate governance actions.
The filing record also documents share capital changes, private placement-related ownership notifications, treasury share authorizations, major-shareholding notices, and transactions in Cadeler shares by persons discharging managerial responsibilities or closely associated persons. These disclosures describe the capital structure, shareholder base, governance approvals, and recurring reporting practices of an offshore wind vessel contractor.
Cadeler A/S (NYSE: CDLR) filed a Form 6-K disclosing insider transactions under EU Market Abuse Regulation Article 19. On 10 July 2025, two members of the executive management team received shares as settlement of vested Restricted Share Units (RSUs) granted in 2023.
- CEO Mikkel Gleerup: 130,416 new shares (ISIN DK0061412772) delivered at a technical price of NOK 0.
- CFO Peter Brogaard Hansen: 59,280 new shares delivered on the same terms.
The combined 189,696 shares will be issued outside a trading venue, implying no cash consideration but a modest increase in the company’s outstanding share count. The filing is an initial notification and fulfils regulatory disclosure duties. While the transactions strengthen management’s equity alignment, the dilution impact is immaterial given Cadeler’s current market capitalisation and share base.
Cadeler A/S (NYSE/OSE: CDLR) has received a notice of termination from Ørsted for the long-term charter of an A-Class offshore wind-turbine installation vessel covering Q1 2027–2030. The charter was linked to Ørsted’s now-cancelled Hornsea 4 project. As contractually stipulated, Cadeler will receive termination compensation.
Guidance upgrade: Management raises FY 2025 revenue guidance to EUR 588-628 million (prior EUR 485-525 million) and EBITDA guidance to EUR 381-421 million (prior EUR 278-318 million), citing the compensation payment and the opportunity to redeploy the vessel on other projects already under discussion.
Strategic and financial implications:
- The loss of a multi-year charter removes long-term utilisation visibility for one A-Class vessel, but Cadeler gains scheduling flexibility in a market experiencing vessel tightness.
- Termination proceeds provide an immediate earnings tailwind, largely driving the 22% revenue and 36% EBITDA guidance uplift for 2025.
- Management states the event will not hurt long-term performance; however, the company must now convert pipeline discussions into firm contracts to maintain backlog beyond 2026.
Overall, the filing mixes a near-term financial positive with longer-term backlog risk, leaving the net impact dependent on Cadeler’s success in re-chartering the vessel.
