Q: I was surprised to receive the corporate action from MEG dated July 29th (see below) 1) Is this a done deal? I thought the offer was considered too low and speculation was that other offers would likely be forthcoming. 2) If it were you, what would you do with your shares of MEG?

5i Research Answer:
It is not a done deal, but it is a legit offer and needs to be mailed to shareholders for a vote. CVE was rumoured to be a buyer, but set a cautious tone on this in comments last week. MEG shares are trading 7% higher than the bid value. There is risk of a decline if this bid fails, but we would still not tender to this opportunistic offer.
