flag Strathcona withdraws takeover bid, paving way for Cenovus’ $8.6B deal with MEG, pending shareholder vote.

flag Strathcona Resources has withdrawn its hostile takeover bid for MEG Energy, clearing the way for Cenovus Energy’s revised $8.6 billion friendly offer, which includes half cash and half stock. flag Strathcona cited changes to MEG’s standstill agreement, allowing Cenovus to buy about 10% of MEG shares, as making further bids impractical. flag The company criticized the move as anticompetitive but said its efforts helped secure a more equitable deal for MEG shareholders. flag MEG shareholders will vote on the Cenovus offer on October 22, with the deal expected to close by late October. flag Strathcona plans a $10-per-share distribution to its shareholders if approved in November.
