Monitor acceptance rate during the offer period (through Aug 12, 2026) for signals of minority shareholder sentiment. The no-threshold structure suggests a high likelihood of delisting completion, but any unexpected regulatory or legal challenges in Germany could delay the process.

Executive Summary
Worthington Steel announced the opening of the acceptance period for its public delisting tender offer for Kloeckner & Co SE at EUR 11.00 per share, following Bafin approval. The offer, which has no closing conditions or minimum acceptance threshold, runs from July 15 to August 12, 2026, and seeks to acquire the remaining ~38% of Kloeckner shares not already held by Worthington Steel after its June 2026 voluntary takeover offer. This is a procedural step in the ongoing consolidation of Kloeckner, with no new financial terms disclosed.
