Freudenberg Home and Cleaning Solutions GmbH (referred to as “Freudenberg” or the “Offeror”) issued an offer document (the “Offer Document”) on 7 January 2026, which received approval from the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority (the “Danish FSA”). This document pertains to a voluntary, recommended, all-cash public takeover bid for the shares of Nilfisk Holding A/S (“Nilfisk”) (the “Offer”).
The Offeror has now released a supplement (the “Supplement”) to the Offer Document, prolonging the offer period to 8 April 2026 at 23:59 (CEST) (the “Extended Offer Period”). This extension aims to provide extra time to secure the necessary Regulatory Approvals (as outlined in the Offer Document).
As of today’s announcement, Freudenberg has secured merger control clearance in the United States, while all other required Regulatory Approvals are still awaiting resolution.
“Receiving approval from the US authorities is encouraging, and we anticipate securing the remaining approvals. Shareholders now have additional time to consider the offer. The largest Nilfisk shareholders, along with the Board of Directors and management, endorse the offer and share our vision of establishing a new global leader in professional cleaning,” stated Karin Overbeck, CEO of Freudenberg Home & Cleaning Solutions.
