Copenhagen, December 15, 2023: With reference to the stock exchange announcement
dated November 7, 2023 published by Cadeler A/S (OSE: CADLR) ("Cadeler")
regarding the launch of a share exchange offer for all outstanding shares of the
common stock of Eneti Inc. (NYSE: NETI) ("Eneti") (the "Share Exchange Offer")
and the stock exchange announcement dated December 8, 2023 published by Cadeler
regarding the extension of the Share Exchange Offer until December 14, 2023, at
5:30 p.m. (ET) / 11:30 p.m. (CET), Cadeler today announces preliminary results
of the Share Exchange Offer. Based on the exchange agent's preliminary count,
33,385,714 shares of Eneti common stock have been validly tendered and not
validly withdrawn in the Share Exchange Offer, corresponding to an acceptance
rate of approximately 86.39% of the total number of outstanding shares of Eneti
common stock (excluding treasury shares held by Eneti). Following the business
combination of Cadeler and Eneti, Cadeler will become a leading offshore wind
installation company.

Based on the preliminary results, the acceptance rate satisfies the minimum
acceptance rate as set out in the business combination agreement between Cadeler
and Eneti dated June 16, 2023 and as reduced to 70% in accordance with the terms
of the Share Exchange Offer as announced in the stock exchange announcement
dated December 8, 2023. Completion of the Share Exchange Offer is subject to,
and conditional upon, the satisfaction or waiver of certain other conditions
described in the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange dated November 7, 2023, including
registration of the capital increase with the Danish Business Authority, each of
which is expected to be obtained on or around December 19, 2023. The number of
shares tendered in the Share Exchange Offer is preliminary and remains subject
to potential adjustments through a verification process undertaken by the
exchange agent for the Share Exchange Offer. Cadeler expects to announce the
final results of the Share Exchange Offer on or around December 18, 2023.
Following the business combination of Cadeler and Eneti, the combined group will
be named Cadeler and be headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark. The current CEO of
Cadeler Mikkel Gleerup will continue as CEO after the combination, and Peter
Brogaard Hansen will continue as CFO.

Mr. Mikkel Gleerup, CEO of Cadeler said: "We highly appreciate the strong
shareholder support. This underlines the trust in Cadeler's vision and
capability to facilitate the renewable transition. We offer our partners and
clients access to one of the strongest and most skilled teams across continents,
with decades of operating track record. And to one of the industry's largest,
most flexible, most diverse, and modern fleet of windfarm installation vessels.
Cadeler will be able to handle the largest and most complex next-generation
offshore wind installation projects currently seen in the market. Providing our
customers a strong choice of flexibility and solid operational track-record".

As previously announced on November 29, 2023, Cadeler has applied for the
listing and admission to trading of up to 32,963,495 American depositary shares
(the "ADSs"), each representing four (4) shares of Cadeler with a nominal value
of DKK 1.00 per share, and the listing of the Cadeler shares underlying such
ADSs, on the New York Stock Exchange. Accordingly, and as a result of the
preliminary results announced today, Cadeler expects that the ADSs will commence
trading on the New York Stock Exchange on a "when-issued" basis today, December
15, 2023, at 9:30 a.m. (ET) / 3:30 p.m. (CET). Accordingly, Cadeler's ADSs will
then be listed and admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange in
addition to Cadeler's current listing on the Oslo Stock Exchange.

Assuming that the conditions to the Share Exchange Offer are satisfied or
waived, Cadeler expects that settlement will be completed on or about December
19, 2023.

The following table sets out the expected dates and times of the key events
relating to the Share Exchange Offer. This is an indicative timetable and is
subject to Cadeler's right to extend, re-open, amend, limit, terminate or

progress might render the technologies used by each of Cadeler and Eneti

respective ability to obtain future financing, including for remaining

accounting estimates and other judgements, (xxviii) the risk that Eneti and
Cadeler have a limited number of vessels and are vulnerable in the event of a
loss of revenue relating to any such vessel(s), (xxix) risks relating to delays
in, or increases in the cost of, already ordered newbuild vessels and the risk
of a failure to obtain contracts for such newbuild vessels and (xxx) risks
