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: meg is being offered .62 shares of scr and $4.10. scr as of yesterday is $31.5 so .62x31.5 +4.1 =$23.63. meg closed @ $26.09. Can I assume there wiil be a higher offer.No one would tender to this offer.
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.
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?
Q: I think questions about SCORE (SCR) are dragging Strathcona Resources (SCR) into the discussion. While owning an oil company might be a form of gambling I believe this is in error.
I would be interested in your opinion of the Oil Company, SCR - Strathcona Resources.
Q: Hello 5i, I had shares of Score in a TFSA account and a SDRSP acct and now I have PENN in both accounts. Could you comment as to can PENN be held in these 2 accounts and the tax issues in both accounts.
Q: Hi 5i Team - I have sold my shares in Score but am interested in investing in a company in the same space. Am considering buying Penn and am just wondering if this would be a good strategy. Also are there any companies similar to Score that you would recommend - Canadian or U.S, any size of market cap but small and mid cap are preferred. Thanks.
I own SCR in my TFSA account and pleased with the recent acquisition announcement. However, I am not sure if I will receive Penn shares or Exchangeco shares when the deal finally closes.
I am assuming I would receive Penn shares as tax is not a consideration while holding this security in my TFSA. Is this a correct assumption?
Also, would I have to make an election prior to the upcoming special meeting on October 12th or would 'no action' allow the process to unfold as recommended and I end up with cash and Penn shares in my TFSA.
Q: What is the "Exchangeco" company? Does it makes sense to take the option of exchangeco shares?
From the circular:
Eligible Canadian shareholders will be able to elect to receive shares of Exchangeco (“Exchangeable Shares”) in lieu of the Penn Shares to which they would otherwise be entitled. Each whole Exchangeable Share will be exchangeable for one whole Penn Share, subject to adjustment.
Q: Greetings:
I know because it has been mentioned countless times that you are not tax experts, but perhaps you can help. When does a section 85 form need to be filed and when not? In the case of IPL, PWF, Uranium participation by Sprott Uranium Trust it is necessary, but not with score media and Penn. Perhaps it depends if it is a merger or acquisition, and what determines this. Perhaps the rules have changed in the last months. Thanks for your help.
BEN.
