Important information (2/2) CADELER Forward-Looking Statements This communication includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws (including Section 27A of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the "Securities Act") with respect to the proposed transaction between Eneti and Cadeler, including statements regarding the benefits of the transaction, the anticipated timing of the transaction, the products and services offered by Eneti and Cadeler and the markets in which they operate, and Eneti's and Cadeler's projected future financial and operating results. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by terminology such as "believe," "may," "will," "potentially," "estimate," "continue," "anticipate," "intend," "could," "would," "should," "project," "target," "plan," "expect," or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology. The absence of these words, however, does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements are based upon current expectations, beliefs, estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable as and when made by Eneti and its management, and Cadeler and its management, as the case may be. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. New risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all risks and uncertainties. Neither Eneti nor Cadeler undertake any obligation to update any such statements in light of any future event or circumstance, or to conform such statements to actual results. Past performance should not be relied upon, and is not, a guarantee of future performance. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this presentation, including but not limited to: the risk that the transaction may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of Eneti's and Cadeler's securities, the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the transaction, including the acceptance of the proposed exchange offer by the requisite number of Eneti shareholders and the receipt of certain governmental and regulatory approvals, general domestic and international political conditions or hostilities, including the war between Russia and Ukraine; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the business combination agreement, the effects of public health threats, pandemics and epidemics, and the adverse impact thereof on Eneti's or Cadeler's business, financial condition and results of operations, the effect of the announcement or pendency of the transaction on Eneti's or Cadeler's business relationships, performance, and business generally, risks that the proposed transaction disrupts current plans of Eneti or Cadeler and potential difficulties in Eneti's or Cadeler's employee retention as a result of the proposed transaction, the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Eneti or Cadeler related to the business combination agreement or the proposed transaction or as a result of the operation of their respective businesses, the risk that Cadeler is unable to list the ADSS to be offered as consideration, or the underlying shares in Cadeler, on the New York Stock Exchange or the Oslo Stock Exchange, as applicable, volatility in the price of the combined company's securities due to a variety of factors, including changes in the competitive markets in which the combined company plans to operate, variations in performance across competitors, changes in laws and regulations affecting such business and changes in the combined capital structure, factors affecting the duration of contracts, the actual amount of downtime and the respective backlogs of Eneti and Cadeler, factors that reduce applicable dayrates or contract profitability, operating hazards inherent to offshore operations and delays, dependency on third parties in relation to, for example, technical, maintenance and other commercial services, risks associated with operations outside the US, actions by regulatory authorities, credit rating agencies, customers, joint venture partners, contractors, lenders and other third parties, legislation and regulations affecting the combined company's operations, compliance with regulatory requirements, violations of anti-corruption laws, shipyard risk and timing, hurricanes and other weather conditions, and the future price of energy commodities, the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations (including with respect to synergies and financial and operational metrics, such as EBITDA and free cash flow) after the completion of the proposed transaction, and to identify and realize additional opportunities, the failure to realize anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction, risks related to the ability to correctly estimate operating expenses and expenses associated with the business combination, risks related to the ability to project future cash utilization and reserves needed for contingent future liabilities and business operations, the potential impact of announcement or consummation of the proposed transaction on relationships with third parties, changes in law or regulations affecting Eneti, Cadeler or the combined company, international, national or local economic, social or political conditions that could adversely affect the companies and their business, dependency on Eneti and Cadeler's customers, volatility in demand, increased competition or reduction in contract values, the risk that technological progress might render the technologies used by each of Cadeler and Eneti obsolete, conditions in the credit markets that may negatively affect the companies and their business, risks deriving from the restrictive covenants and conditions relevant to Eneti and Cadeler's financing and their respective ability to obtain future financing, including for remaining installations on ordered newbuild vessels, risks associated with assumptions that parties make in connection with the parties' critical accounting estimates and other judgements, 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), 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 risks associated with changes in exchange rates including the USD/NOK and USD/EUR rates. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive and the factors identified are not set out in any particular order. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting Eneti, Cadeler or the combined company will be those that the companies have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond Eneti's or Cadeler's control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements or from our historical experience and our present expectations or projects. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties that affect the parties' businesses, including those described in Eneti's Annual Report on Form 20-F, Current Reports on Form 6-K and other documents filed from time to time by Eneti with the SEC and those described in Cadeler's annual reports, relevant reports and other documents published from time to time by Cadeler. Eneti and Cadeler wish to caution you not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. This communication and related materials speak only as of the date hereof and except as required by law, Eneti and Cadeler are not undertaking any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
