Cenovus与赫斯基能源完成合并

    中国石化新闻网讯 据OE网站1月4日报道，加拿大石油公司Cenovus Energy和赫斯基能源公司（Husky Energy）周一宣布，他们之前宣布的战略合并已经完成，将创建加拿大第三大原油和天然气生产商。

    Cenovus表示，该交易创造了一个具有弹性的综合能源领导者，能够为投资者提供长期的卓越回报，以及良好的环境、社会和治理(ESG)表现。

    该交易是通过2020年10月25日宣布的最终安排协议完成的，根据该协议，Cenovus和Husky同意以全股票交易合并。

    赫斯基普通股股东获得0.7845股Cenovus普通股和0.0651股Cenovus普通股认股权证，以换取每一股赫斯基普通股。此外，赫斯基优先股股东以基本相同的条款将每一股赫斯基优先股交换为一股Cenovus优先股。

    Cenovus普通股仍在多伦多证券交易所(TSX)和纽约证券交易所(NYSE)上市，股票代码为CVE。赫斯基的普通股和优先股预计将于2021年1月5日股市收盘时被多伦多证券交易所摘牌。

    随着该交易的结束，赫斯基已成为Cenovus的全资子公司，并将一直保持这种状态，直到两家公司计划中的合并完成。合并后，Cenovus将成为赫斯基现有长期票据和其他直接债务的债务人。合并后的公司将继续把总部设在卡尔加里。

    Cenovus总裁兼首席执行官亚历克斯 普尔拜克斯(Alex Pourbaix)表示，对于Cenovus来说，这是一个令人兴奋的日子，因为我们将成为一家更精简、更强大、更全面一体化的石油和天然气公司，在未来几年里，该公司非常适合应对当前环境，并成为能源行业的领导者。

    随着此次交易的完成，我们将专注于安全有效地整合这两家伟大公司的资产和团队，同时努力实现我们已经确定的12亿美元的协同效应。Pourbaix表示，这些成本和资本效率，加上我们强大的上游生产、中游和下游资产组合，以及我们财务实力的提高，预计将为我们的股东创造巨大的价值。

    按公司总产量计算，合并后的公司将成为加拿大第三大原油和天然气生产商，其油气日产量约达75万桶油当量/天。

    Cenovus-Husky Merger Complete

    Canadian oil firms Cenovus Energy and Husky Energy said Monday their previously announced strategic merger had closed, creating Canada’s third-largest crude oil and natural gas producer.

    "The transaction creates a resilient integrated energy leader that is well-positioned to provide superior returns for investors over the long term, as well as strong environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance," Cenovus said.

    The transaction was completed through a definitive arrangement agreement announced on October 25, 2020 under which Cenovus and Husky agreed to combine in an all-stock transaction.

    Husky common shareholders received 0.7845 of a Cenovus common share and 0.0651 of a Cenovus common share purchase warrant in exchange for each Husky common share. In addition, Husky preferred shareholders exchanged each Husky preferred share for one Cenovus preferred share with substantially identical terms.

    Cenovus common shares remain listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker symbol CVE. The Husky common shares and preferred shares are expected to be delisted by the TSX at the close of the market on January 5, 2021.

    With the close of the transaction, Husky has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cenovus and will remain as such until completion of a planned amalgamation among the two entities. Upon amalgamation, Cenovus will become the obligor under Husky’s existing long-term notes and other direct obligations. The combined company will continue to be headquartered in Calgary.

    “This is an exciting day for Cenovus as we become a leaner, stronger, more fully integrated oil and natural gas company that is exceptionally well-positioned to weather the current environment and be an energy leader in the years ahead,” said Alex Pourbaix, Cenovus President & Chief Executive Officer.

    “With the closing of this transaction, we will focus on safely and efficiently integrating the assets and teams of these two great companies while working to realize the $1.2 billion in synergies we’ve identified. These cost and capital efficiencies, combined with our strong portfolio of well-matched upstream production, midstream, and downstream assets as well as improved financial strength, are expected to generate strong value for our shareholders, Pourbaix said.

    The combination creates Canada’s third-largest crude oil and natural gas producer, based on total company production, with about 750,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOE/d) of oil and natural gas production.
