What did Cleanaway Waste Management report?
- EQT Infrastructure confirmed nothing in its due diligence would cause it to withdraw or reduce its indicative proposal.
- No less favourable terms are proposed for Cleanaway shareholders.
- The offer consideration remains at least at the previously indicated level.
- The hard exclusivity period under the Transaction Process Deed has ended as planned.
- Both parties are working toward an implementation deed but no binding agreement has been reached yet.
What else do investors need to know?
EQT Infrastructure has finished its agreed exclusivity period for reviewing Cleanaway, but remains engaged and positive about progressing the transaction. The proposal is still indicative and non-binding, meaning there is no guarantee it will result in a formal offer.
Shareholders are not required to take any action currently. Cleanaway's board has assured investors that they will provide further updates as developments occur. The Board's proactive communication helps keep everyone in the loop on this potential change in ownership.
What's next for Cleanaway Waste Management?
The next key step will be finalising due diligence and entering into an implementation deed—if terms can be agreed—so shareholders can consider a definitive proposal. Cleanaway continues operating as usual, maintaining its commitment to service, sustainability, and shareholder value.
With the deal still unconfirmed, investors should watch future announcements closely for any advances, revised offers, or changes in EQT's intentions.
