The Toronto Stock Exchange reports that MEG Energy Corp. will be delisted at the close on Nov. 14, 2025. According to the TSX, Cenovus Energy Inc. has acquired all of the
issued and outstanding MEG shares pursuant to a plan of arrangement
involving MEG, Cenovus and the holders of the MEG shares, pursuant to Section 193 of the Business Corporations
Act (Alberta).
Under the terms of the arrangement, prior to the election deadline on
Nov. 5, 2025, at 4:30 p.m. Calgary time, each MEG shareholder could elect to receive: (i) $30 in cash per MEG
share; (ii) 1.255 Cenovus common shares per MEG share; or (iii) a combination thereof, in all cases subject to
rounding and proration based on a maximum aggregate cash consideration
of approximately $3.8-billion and a maximum
aggregate share consideration of approximately 159.6 million Cenovus shares, as set out in the arrangement agreement
between MEG and Cenovus dated Aug. 21, 2025, as amended by an
amending agreement dated Oct. 7, 2025, and as further amended by an amending agreement dated
Oct. 26, 2025.
The TSX reports that MEG shareholders who did not make a valid election prior to the election
deadline were deemed to have elected to receive: (i) the cash
consideration for 50 per cent of the MEG shares held by such MEG shareholder;
and (ii) the share consideration for 50 per cent of the MEG shares held by such
MEG shareholder.
Notwithstanding the election or deemed election of a MEG shareholder for
the cash consideration or share consideration, such MEG shareholder may
receive a combination of cash consideration and share consideration (or
a different combination than what was elected by such MEG shareholder),
depending on the elections (including deemed elections) made by all other
MEG shareholders.
The TSX notes that no fractional Cenovus shares will be issued under the arrangement. Where
the total number of Cenovus shares to be issued to a former MEG
shareholder as consideration under the arrangement would result in a
fraction of a Cenovus share being issuable, such MEG shareholder will
receive the nearest whole number of Cenovus shares, rounded up to the
next whole number if the fractional entitlement is equal to or greater than
0.5, and rounded down to the next whole number if the fractional entitlement
is less than 0.5, without any additional compensation, and subject to
rounding and proration based on the cash maximum and the share
maximum.
If the total cash amount a MEG shareholder is entitled to receive
pursuant to the arrangement would otherwise include a fraction of one cent,
then the aggregate cash amount such MEG shareholder shall be entitled
to receive shall be rounded to the nearest whole cent.
In connection with the first amending agreement, MEG made available a
revised letter of transmittal and election form. Registered MEG shareholders who have not yet done so must complete
and return a revised letter of transmittal, together with MEG share certificates and/or DRS
advices, as applicable, to Computershare Investor Services Inc. at its
principal offices in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver or Calgary.
