May 10, 2019 [Tank News International] – Anadarko Petroleum Corporation has announced that its board of directors has unanimously determined that the revised acquisition proposal it received from Occidental Petroleum Corporation on May 5, 2019 constitutes a “Superior Proposal” as defined in Anadarko’s previously announced merger agreement with Chevron Corporation.
Anadarko has notified Chevron that Anadarko’s board of directors has unanimously determined that it intends to terminate the Chevron Merger Agreement in order to enter into a definitive merger agreement with Occidental in connection with the Revised Occidental Proposal.
Under the terms of the revised Occidental Proposal, Occidental would acquire Anadarko for consideration consisting of $59.00 in cash and 0.2934 of a share of Occidental common stock per share of Anadarko common stock. Occidental has obtained committed financing for the entire cash portion of the aggregate transaction consideration, and completion of the transaction will not require or be conditioned upon the receipt of any vote or other approval by Occidental’s stockholders.
Pursuant to the Chevron Merger Agreement, Chevron has the right, during the four business day period ending on May 10, 2019, which may be extended in accordance with the terms of the Chevron Merger Agreement, to propose revisions to the terms of the Chevron Merger Agreement, or to make another proposal. Anadarko is required to, and will, make its representatives reasonably available to negotiate with Chevron during this period with respect to such proposed revisions or other proposal, if any.
If Anadarko terminates the Chevron Merger Agreement in order to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to the Revised Occidental Proposal, Anadarko will pay Chevron a $1 billion termination fee as required by the Chevron Merger Agreement. The Chevron Merger Agreement remains in effect unless and until terminated, and accordingly, Anadarko’s Board of Directors reaffirms its existing recommendation of the transaction with Chevron at this time.
