EQT Agrees to Acquire Cleanaway Waste Management for A$9.3 Billion

This is a new, material transaction milestone: EQT Infrastructure VI announced a binding Scheme Implementation Deed to acquire all shares of Cleanaway Waste Management for approximately A$9.3 billion, following an earlier non-binding proposal and exclusivity period. The transaction is highly relevant to Cleanaway and EQT, but it remains subject to the scheme process, shareholder approval and other applicable approvals, so the acquisition is announced rather than completed. The October 18 date is explicit, while the precise occurrence time is estimated from the Bloomberg/X timestamp. Only the direct transaction parties are approved as stakeholders; indirect competitor and supplier effects are too speculative for conservative approval.
