Norwegian Public Takeover Deal Study

2025 Edition: for the year 2024

Editorial team

2024 at a glance

We are pleased to present BAHR's annual Norwegian Public Takeover Deal Study a comprehensive analysis of Norway's public takeover landscape in 2024. Our study examines the latest trends, developments, and defining characteristics of Norwegian public takeovers over the past year. Voluntary cash offers with target board recommendation is the dominant transaction structure.

Market Sectors and Deal Characteristics

Energy, Industrials, and IT continue to drive public M&A activity in Norway, accounting for 75% of all deals in 2024 consistent with previous years. The market is increasingly characterized by fewer but larger transactions. In 2024, 75% of Main Market deals had valuations between EUR 250 million and EUR 1 billion, compared to less than 40% in this range over the previous decade.

Financial Buyer Dominance

Norway's regulatory framework and market practices are wellsuited to financial buyers, offering key advantages including international style transaction agreement, comprehensive due diligence, pre-announcement

acceptances, M&A insurance, and rollover opportunities for selected shareholders such as management and founders. Consequently, financial investors including Nordic and international private equity players were buyers in 75% of Norwegian takeovers in 2024, a significant shift from the more balanced split between private equity and industrial buyers seen over the past decade. Geographically, approximately 50% of these funds were European-based (excluding Nordics), 25% Nordic-based, and 25% US-based.

Rollover Transactions Continue to Rise

The upward trend in rollover transactions persisted in 2024. One-third of Main Market deals included rollover elements, while 60% of Growth market transactions featured such structures.

Rollover arrangements include:

1. Universal rollover offers extended to all shareholders, providing options for share consideration, cash, or a combination

2. Selective rollover offers designed for specific shareholders only, with others receiving exclusively cash compensation

3. Partial rollover offers allowing all shareholders to participate in rollovers for a portion of their holdings, with remaining shares compensated in cash

Market Practices and Trends "Hard" pre-acceptances increased in 2024, representing two-thirds of all Main Market pre-acceptances (versus "soft" acceptances that allow shareholders to accept higher competing offers) and 40% in the Growth market Material Adverse Change (MAC) clauses and break fees remain standard market practice, though break fees are typically limited to estimated cost coverage.

Euronext Growth Oslo

Following record-high listing levels in 2020-2021, takeover activity in the Euronext Growth Oslo market gained momentum from 2022 onwards.

The absence of Norwegian takeover regulations and extensive disclosure requirements on this multilateral trading facility has enabled more agile and opportunistic approaches to stakebuilding and deal structuring. While early transactions followed conventional takeover principles from regulated markets, we continue to see innovative pricing and transaction models emerging, primarily due to the absence of minimum price and equal treatment requirements

BAHR's Award -Winning Expertise

BAHR continues to lead in advising on Norway's most significant public takeover and other combination transactions, including recent landmark deals such as Adevinta, Kahoot!, Entra and Golden Ocean. Our extensive involvement in these transactions has provided deep insights into market dynamics and trends developed over decades in the public takeover sector. We appreciate the market's continued confidence in our legal advisory services, recognition that has earned us IFLR's Team of the Year 2025 for M&A, as well as Deal of the Year awards for both 2024 and 2025.

About This Study

Our annual Norwegian Public Takeover Deal Study examines the latest developments in key terms and transaction metrics for public takeovers on the Oslo Stock Exchange, analyzing data from 2015-2024 Like previous editions, we include both standalone and consolidated historical figures to provide comparative context and share insights gained over this period. This year's edition features a new standalone analysis of public takeover transactions on the Euronext Growth Oslo market.

Norwegian Public Takeover Deal Study 2025

Important Information

In compiling the study, BAHR has solely reviewed publicly available information, including offer documents, press releases and other related publicly available documents.

The disclosure documents that form the basis of the study each include specific drafting tailored to the particular transaction in question. The terms of many transactions are not directly comparable. Accordingly, BAHR has relied on its judgment and discretion in summarising, categorising, and reflecting these provisions in the study Non-public information may be relevant to the analysis, but is not reflected in the study

The results of the study do not reflect the views of BAHR or legal advice Whether a specific term of an acquisition should apply or not is highly dependent on the facts and circumstances of each particular transaction. Accordingly, the applicability of any aspect of the study to a specific transaction merits close consideration based upon the facts and circumstances of that transaction
