WSP Global Inc. (TSX:WSP) cancelled the acquisition of Arcadis NV (ENXTAM:ARCAD) from Stichting Lovinklaan, Stichting Koninklijke Katalys and others. WSP Global Inc. (TSX:WSP) proposed an initial non-binding indicative offer to acquire Arcadis NV (ENXTAM:ARCAD) from Stichting Lovinklaan, Stichting Koninklijke Katalys and others for €4.2 billion on July 1, 2026. WSP Global Inc. proposed revised non-binding indicative offer to acquire Arcadis NV for €4.5 billion on July 24, 2026. A cash consideration €48.50 per share will be paid by WSP Global Inc. As part of consideration, Arcadis shareholders would be provided with the flexibility to elect for immediate certainty of value through cash consideration, and/or to elect WSP stock and participate in the future value creation of the combined business. The overall consideration would be approximately half shares and half cash. As of July 14, 2026, the proposal was carefully reviewed and unanimously rejected by the Executive Board and Supervisory Board as it did not adequately reflect Arcadis' intrinsic value, strategic position and future prospects. The proposal also did not address concerns around strategic fit, cultural fit, deal certainty and other stakeholders' interests. As of July 23, 2026, WSP submitted an revised improved proposal to acquire all issued and outstanding shares in the capital of Arcadis, at an intended offer consideration of €51.50 per ordinary share (cum dividend) for €4.5 billion. The indicative proposal envisages an offer consideration, represented a premium of approximately 45.8% over the unaffected share price of €35.32 per ordinary share on July 22, 2026. WSP would welcome the Lovinklaan Foundation and Katalys as important reference shareholders. WSP deeply respects the goals and responsibilities of the Lovinklaan Foundation and Katalys and is committed to a similar role in the combined organization. Under the assumption that Lovinklaan Foundation and Katalys elect to receive only WSP shares, the non-foundation Arcadis shareholders will receive approximately 65% in cash and 35% in WSP shares as consideration. WSP’s proposal is not contingent on any financing condition and would provide Arcadis shareholders with an attractive value.
The transaction is subject to approval of merger agreement by target board, approval by regulatory board / committee and definitive agreement. The proposed transaction would be subject to customary pre-offer and offer conditions precedent for a transaction of this nature, including but not limited to, the recommendation by the Executive Board and Supervisory Board, a minimum acceptance level and customary regulatory conditions. A definitive agreement has not been entered into, and any potential transaction remains subject to an agreement on terms between WSP and Arcadis. There can be no assurance that a transaction will be concluded and that the conditions to which it may be subject would be met. WSP has provided its proposal to the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board of Arcadis, and has invited them to discuss such proposals with a view to reaching a friendly, recommended transaction.
WSP Global Inc. (TSX:WSP) cancelled the acquisition of Arcadis NV (ENXTAM:ARCAD) from Stichting Lovinklaan, Stichting Koninklijke Katalys and others on July 30, 2026. The Revised Proposal fundamentally undervalues Arcadis and again fails to reflect the substantial value creation potential from the execution of Arcadis’ standalone strategy, supported by the Company’s current operational momentum and the new medium-term financial targets published today alongside our Q2 and Half Year 2026 Results. The Revised Proposal entails material uncertainty regarding deal execution and timing, execution of strategic plans, cultural fit, and integration risks, with adverse consequences for Arcadis' shareholders, employees, clients and other stakeholders.

Arcadis And Jupiter Intelligence Launch PRICE Adaptation Framework To Help Organizations Compare Climate Adaptation Options And Prioritize Resilience Spending Arcadis and Jupiter Intelligence launched the PRICE Adaptation Framework, a decision-grade methodology designed to help organizations compare climate adaptation options, quantify return on investment and prioritize resilience spending. The PRICE framework combines climate hazard modeling, engineering insight and economic analysis to help organizations evaluate where adaptation investments deliver the greatest long-term value, and in turn, enable better funding decisions. The methodology is a five step decision approach designed to help organizations: 1) Pinpoint loss drivers: Identify the primary drivers of climate-related financial loss; 2) Rank adaptation options: Compare adaptation interventions side-by-side; 3) Investment case: Quantify avoided losses and ROI; 4) Capital strategy: Connect resilience decisions to funding and capital strategies; 5) Execute and evidence: Translate adaptation planning into measurable delivery outcomes. The PRICE methodology is supported with decision intelligence at different stages through Arcadis' Climate Risk Nexus and Enterprise Decision Analytics (EDA), as well as Jupiter Intelligence's Adaptation Hub capabilities, enabling organizations to model, compare and prioritize adaptation scenarios across infrastructure systems, portfolios and communities. Arcadis and Jupiter Intelligence have already tested the methodology across real-world scenarios. In Houston, Texas, the teams analyzed 100 single-family homes in the flood-prone Meyerland neighborhood to assess the ROI potential of dry floodproofing measures. The analysis showed positive ROI outcomes for 52% of locations assessed. In Slovenia, the methodology was used to evaluate flood mitigation options for an industrial facility that had previously experienced up to USD 60 million in flood-related losses from a single event. A modeled flood wall intervention demonstrated a projected ROI of 245%. These test cases demonstrate how the methodology supports a broader shift from climate risk identification toward evidence-based resilience investment and implementation. The PRICE methodology applies across a broad range of clients, including real estate and property owners, and city and transit agencies. Arcadis is already seeing strong results from this approach on projects with the State University of New York, Northeast US regional transit clients, and major real estate owners seeking practical frameworks to move from climate risk awareness to prioritized, actionable investment decisions.
