On 19-Oct-26, EQT agreed to acquire Australian waste management group Cleanaway in a scheme transaction valued at approximately AUD 9.3bn including debt. Our Deal Insight examines the principal competition and execution risks, particularly the relationship between Cleanaway and EQT-owned waste management software provider AMCS. We consider whether Australian regulatory review, foreign investment conditions and limitations on potential remedies could affect the timetable or terms of completion. The report also examines shareholder and court approvals under the Australian scheme process. Our analysis combines merger agreement provisions, regulatory precedents and shareholder considerations to assess possible delays, deal failure risks and the implications for risk-arbitrage investors. Published 26-Oct-26. Available to subscribers and qualified institutional investors upon request.
