加拿大石油商同意被中国公司收购
加拿大石油生产商Bankers Petroleum近日宣布,公司已同意接受中国洲际油气股份有限公司(Geo-Jade Petroleum Corp)子公司的收购,收购价格为5.75亿加拿大元(约合4.4234亿美元)。该公司一直是阿尔巴尼亚最大的外国投资者之一。 Bankers Petroleum公司表示,将同意由该中国石油天然气勘探和生产公司的子公司,以每股2.20加拿大元(1.69美元)的价格收购。 Bankers Petroleum公司周五在多伦多的收盘价为1.11加拿大元。 该加拿大公司表示,其公司和技术总部将留在卡尔加里。该笔交易尚需在五月底前召开的会议上获得股东批准。Bankers Petroleum表示,公司将在交易完成后退市。 据阿尔巴尼亚能源协会(Albania Energy Association)指出,Bankers Petroleum从2004年开始在阿尔巴尼亚开展勘探活动,并经营着欧洲大陆最大的陆上油田。 阿尔巴尼亚政府曾指控Bankers Petroleum少报收益,以逃避50%的利润税。此外,阿尔巴尼亚政府在1月宣布将重新谈判石油产量分成协议,并对石油公司可用于抵消税负的支出设定上限。(财富中文网) 译者:刘进龙/汪皓 |
Canada’s Bankers Petroleum Ltd , one of Albania’s largest foreign investors, said on Sunday it has agreed to be acquired by affiliates of China’s Geo-Jade Petroleum Corp for C$575 million ($442.34 million). Bankers Petroleum said it will be bought by firms owned by the Chinese oil and gas exploration and production company for C$2.20 ($1.69) per share. Shares of Bankers Petroleum closed at C$1.11 in Toronto on Friday. The Canadian company said its corporate and technical headquarters will remain in Calgary. The deal is subject to shareholder approval at a meeting before the end of May. Bankers Petroleum said the company will be delisted after the sale. Bankers Petroleum began exploration in Albania in 2004 and operates the largest onshore oil field in continental Europe, according to the Albania Energy Association. The Albanian government has accused Bankers Petroleum of understating earnings to avoid its 50% profit tax. It announced in January it will renegotiate its oil output-sharing contracts and impose a limit on expenses that oil companies can use to offset tax liability. |
