Cenovus Energy, which has been pursuing a friendly takeover of MEG Energy, has acquired an additional 3.28 million shares, bringing its total holdings to 25 million MEG shares. This move follows the withdrawal of Strathcona Resources Ltd. (TSX:SCR)'s rival takeover offer for MEG. The Cenovus offer values MEG at $8.6 billion, including assumed debt, and is set to be voted on by MEG shareholders on October 22, MoneySense reported. The two companies share neighbouring oilsands properties at Christina Lake, south of Fort McMurray, Alberta.
In a separate development, the Parkland-Sunoco deal, valued at US$9.1 billion including assumed debt, has received Investment Canada Act approval . This approval marks a significant milestone for the transaction, which was announced amidst tense Canada-U.S. relations and resource nationalism. The deal, which is expected to close in the fourth quarter of this year, follows a bitter proxy battle between investors and Parkland management over the company's performance and strategy. Parkland owns several prominent gas station chains and a refinery in Burnaby, British Columbia.
Cineplex Inc. has also made a significant move, selling its Cineplex Digital Media subsidiary to Creative Realities Inc. for $70 million . The deal includes a long-term agreement for Cineplex to continue as CDM's exclusive advertising sales agent. The proceeds from this sale will be used to strengthen Cineplex's balance sheet and facilitate share buybacks and debt reduction.
These transactions highlight an active stretch in Canadian business, with major deals in the energy, retail, and entertainment sectors. Investors should keep a close eye on these developments as they unfold.
