据OE网12月15日报道,周二,Cenovus能源公司以60.7亿加元(47.8亿美元)收购赫斯基能源公司(Husky Energy Inc )的交易获得两家公司股东的批准,在快速整合的石油行业中,该公司成为加拿大第三大石油和天然气生产商。
Cenovus表示,在一次特别会议上,93%的股东投票赞成合并,而Husky当天早些时候宣布,在会议上,超过99.9%的股东投票赞成合并。
Cenovus的一些投资者对这笔交易感到担忧,因为他们认为,增加赫斯基的炼油厂将阻碍该公司利用油价上涨的机会。
在股东们批准这一交易之际,近期油价的回升提振了能源股,使该全股票交易的估值较去年10月首次宣布时的38亿加元提高了约60%。
赫斯基股东将获得Cenovus股份的0.7845和以0.0651股Cenovus股份购买认股权证,以换取赫斯基普通股。
该交易预计将于2021年第一季度完成,之后,Cenovus股东将持有合并后公司61%的股份,其余股份将由赫斯基股东持有。
赫斯基最大股东和记黄埔将持有新公司15.7%的股份。

Husky, Cenovus Ahareholders Approve $4.78 Billion Merger Deal
Cenovus Energy Inc's C$6.07 billion ($4.78 billion)deal to buy Husky Energy Inc was approved by the shareholders of the two companies Cenovus said 93% of shareholder votes were cast in favor of the merger at a special meeting, while Husky announced earlier in the day that the merger was approved with over 99.9% of votes cast in favor at its meeting.
Some Cenovus investors were apprehensive about the deal as they believed that the addition of Husky's refineries would hinder the company from taking advantage of rising oil prices.
The shareholder approval comes as a recent recovery in oil prices has helped energy shares, boosting the value of the all-stock transaction by about 60% from its initial C$3.8 billion valuation in October, when the deal was first announced.
Husky shareholders will get 0.7845 of a Cenovus share and 0.0651 of a Cenovus share purchase warrant in exchange for each Husky common share.
The deal is expected to close in the first quarter of 2021, after which Cenovus shareholders would own 61% of the combined entity and Husky shareholders the rest.
Hutchison Whampoa, Husky's biggest shareholder, would hold a 15.7% stake in the new company.
