ReNew Energy (RNW): What the $7.02 Take-Private Agreement Requires

ReNew announced a recommended cash acquisition by a consortium comprising CPP Investments and founder, chairman, and CEO Sumant Sinha. Cash-out shareholders would receive $7.02 per share if the transaction becomes effective. Until its conditions are satisfied, $7.02 is proposed consideration—not a guaranteed exit price.

Confirmed transaction terms

• The offer values the fully diluted ordinary share capital at about $2.8 billion and implies enterprise value of about $10.2 billion.
• The $7.02 price represented a 12.5% premium to the May 28, 2026 closing price of $6.24 and a 32.5% premium to the three-month volume-weighted average price of $5.30, according to the announcement.
• The deal is structured as a UK scheme of arrangement for shares not already owned by the consortium and its affiliates, subject to rollover provisions.
• ReNew said it expected effectiveness in Q1 2027, subject to conditions. The defined long-stop date is the later of March 31, 2027 and 95 days after publication of the scheme document, unless extended as permitted.

Approval and closing risk

Completion requires the relevant shareholder and scheme-shareholder approvals, court sanction, and other conditions described in the transaction documents. The announcement explicitly notes uncertainty around timing and completion. A special committee of independent directors evaluated the proposal with independent financial and legal advisers, which is particularly relevant because the consortium includes ReNew’s founder and CEO.

What to monitor

The next decisive documents are the scheme document, meeting votes, court order, regulatory updates, and any competing proposal or amendment. Before effectiveness, the market price can trade below or above $7.02 based on perceived closing probability, timing, and opportunity cost.
