Suncor能源出价33亿美元收购加拿大油砂公司，遭到了后者的强烈谴责， 指责Suncor是蓄意压价、恶意收购！
Canadian Oil Sands Ltd. urged shareholders to reject Suncor Energy Inc.’s C$4.3-billion ($3.3-billion) hostile takeover, accusing the larger rival of undervaluing its business and exploiting undisclosed information about a partnership in making a low-ball offer. Suncor’s bid is “wholly inadequate” and has “less value than the current market price,” Calgary-based Canadian Oil Sands said in a statement. The price underestimates the value of the companies’ combined stakes in a Syncrude partnership in Northern Albertaand doesn’t reflect a premium to potentially acquire operational control of the venture through the deal, Canadian Oil Sands said. The company also alleged Suncor is aware of several yet-to-be-disclosed cost-reduction and value-enhancing initiatives at Syncrude that aren’t reflected in the bid. Suncor, looking to bolster its status as Canada’s largest crude producer amid a prolonged slump in oil prices, renewed efforts this month to take over the biggest shareholder of Syncrude after two friendly offers were rejected earlier this year. Canadian Oil Sands said it remains cash-positive and can still tap most of its C$1.5-billion credit facility. It said its shares tend to rise faster than Suncor’s when oil prices improve. Suncor’s offer is “a little light,” Doug Warwick, a managing director at TD Asset Management, said on Oct. 5. The firm is Canadian Oil Sands’ biggest shareholder with almost 5%. （源自：彭博/CALGARY, Alberta ） |
