Amber accepts Alberta Energy bid
Article Abstract:
Amber Energy Ltd. has agreed to a more attractive C$476-million acquisition offer from Alberta Energy Company Ltd. Alberta Energy enhanced its takeover offer by raising its bid to C$7.50 per share, or 0.225 share of Alberta Energy stock for every share of Amber, from C$7.00 a share, or 0.215 Alberta Energy share for each Amber share. Richard Lewanski, president and CEO of Amber, said that the offer is advantageous for its shareholders although they still hold that Amber is worth more than C$7.50 a share. Observers say that the companies complement each other, noting that properties of the two overlap in the natural gas fields in Primrose in Canada's Alberta province and the oil patch of Pelican Lake, also in Alberta.
