Q: I hold this company and I have heard through the whole process with the MEG acquisition that its assets are not the best quality, and that it doesn't have the liquidity compared to CVS. If this is accurate and you can confirm so, I will not hold it for the long term. The share price has moved up a little since CVS has been solidified as the buyer. SCR is going to (subject to board approval) go ahead with the $10 special dividend. Do you think approval of the dividend is a formality, and once approved the share price will move up further? At what price would you consider the $10 dividend baked into the stock prompting a sell? I assume the stock will drop close to $10 on the X date so perhaps it may make sense to sell prior to qualifying for the dividend? Do you share the sentiments presented in this narrative? Thank you.

Q: Hi team,
In one of your answers today regarding scr not getting Meg, you mentioned scr giving shareholders a $10 dividend ??? As in 10/ $38.92= 25.7%?! Does that mean if I buy scr shares tomorrow and this dividend gets paid out it’s a 25.7% instant return? Or , did you have to be a shareholder before the initial takeover offer? This type of special dividend seems like a crazy waste of company resources that compounds nothing for the company long term, but if I can get a special dividend of over 25% why wouldn’t I buy it and sell after the dividend?

Q: Hi 5i
How was the Strathcona conference call?
Strathcona announced they would be paying out a special $10 dividend if the meg deal does not go through.
How would 5i play this?
Currently a holder of meg...Wondering if this is an opportunity to hedge a little?
Where do you think meg ends up if the deal fails?
Also would you continue to hold meg...the clock keeps ticking on this one.
thx

Q: What kind of oil company it is. It is true that Scrathcona is the 5th largest oil producer in Canada. The CEO was on the podcast In the Money saying that it is still a discount compare other oil companies, it is true. Also, what is the changes that it can purchase MEG energy. Thank you.

Q: I know this is speculation, but if Strathcona raised their offer and closes the deal with MEG. Do you feel that the price of SCR goes down on the news, similar to WCP going down when it bought Veren. The purchaser tends to go down because they are taking on debt, or diluting, etc while the purchased goes up because of a premium on the purchase price. I'm just wondering if it makes more sense to wait on the news of the deal to finalize. One outcome being they get MEG at a higher price, and their share price pulls back a bit due to the integration risks etc. OR the deal falls through or another company gets MEG and SCR price still goes down on the news for losing the deal.

Q: Good morning,

Q1. What are your thoughts on Strathacona Resources recent offer to purchase MEG?

Q2. Do you consider Strathacona's initial offer reasonable and what is the likelihood of MEG accepting Strathacona's initial offer?

Q3. What is the likelihood of another company joining the bid for MEG?

Q4. For holders of MEG, do you recommend selling on the news now and taking profits or waiting for a potentially better offer as MEG considers the current offer that may not be accepted and cause the MEG's stock price to drop back?

Thank you and I'll await your response.
