Nilfisk shareholders have until 8 April to accept a takeover offer from German conglomerate Freudenberg, the Danish company announced Thursday. The deadline was extended from this week. Freudenberg offered DKK 140 per share in December, valuing Nilfisk at nearly DKK 3.8 billion. The deal requires acceptance from shareholders representing over 90% of shares. Currently, shareholders holding 81.2% have accepted. Major shareholders Kirkbi Invest, Ferd and PrimeStone Capital, along with Nilfisk's board and management, controlling 50.9% of shares, committed to accepting in December. If successful, Freudenberg intends to delist Nilfisk from the Danish stock exchange. Founded in 1906, Nilfisk manufactures cleaning machines and employs approximately 4,500 people globally, selling products in over 100 countries.
