加拿大Zenith将收购挪威Nordic石油公司

据11月5日报道，加拿大Zenith Energy已正式提出以股权交换的方式收购挪威的Nordic石油公司，此举将扩大其在挪威大陆架的业务。

拟议中的交易条款是，以北欧公司至少90%的流通股为基础，以100股北欧普通股换取1股Zenith普通股。未审计的Nordic石油公司股本净值目前为880万挪威克朗(相当于约127万加元或75万英镑)。

Nordic石油公司董事会已建议股东批准该交易，但需在正式要约提交股东之前解决某些条件和实际问题。

在完成对Nordic的拟议收购后，Zenith打算将Nordic作为收购成熟能源生产资产的工具，并参与挪威石油和能源部组织的未来许可证投标。

Zenith Energy to take over Nordic Petroleum

Canada's Zenith Energy has formalised an offer to acquire Norway's Nordic Petroleum (Nordic) by way of an exchange of equity that will expand its presence in Norway's continental shelf.

The proposed deal is structured to be for a minimum of 90 per cent of the outstanding shares in Nordic with a proposed equity exchange of 100 Nordic common shares for 1 Zenith common share. The unaudited net value of Nordic’s equity presently stands at NOK 8,800,000 (equivalent to approximately CAD$1,270,000 or ￡750,000).

Nordic's Board of Directors has recommended the deal to its shareholders for approval provided certain conditions and practicalities to be resolved prior to the formal offer being submitted to shareholders.

Upon completion of the proposed acquisition of Nordic, Zenith intends to use Nordic as a vehicle to pursue the acquisition of mature energy production assets, as well as for potential participation in future licensing bids organised by the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy.
