Andel Holding A/S, the Danish energy group, has kicked off an overnight accelerated sale of Orsted shares worth around 3 billion Danish kroner, or about $467 million. Terms seen by Bloomberg indicated demand was sufficient to fill the offer shortly after order-taking began. If completed as outlined, Andel's ownership would drop to roughly 3.4% from 5%.
The move comes about a year after Andel backed Orsted's 60 billion Danish kroner equity raise with a 3 billion kroner investment meant to bolster the company's finances. Since then, Orsted's stock has recovered as the company avoided additional US setbacks and delivered several major wind farms that are expected to support earnings over the coming years.
