Chinese oil company Sinopec has launched its $8 billion takeover attempt of Addax Petroleum Corp., the Calgary-based takeover target said Monday.
Sinopec has mailed in its offer and takeover bid notice to shareholders via its business Mirror Lake Oil and Gas Co. Ltd.
Sinopec in late June offered C$52.80 per common share in an all-cash transaction expected to wrap up in third-quarter 2009, although two-thirds of shareholders must say yes and apparently have not since June.
Chinese regulators, too, have not yet let the deal go ahead. Their speedy okay was understood to be a key demand understood of the merger.
