BG chief welcomes $70 billion Shell offer with ‘mixed emotions’
Tuesday May 5, 2015
(Reuters) – BG (BG.L) Chief Executive Helge Lund on Tuesday welcomed with “mixed emotions” Royal Dutch Shell’s (RDSa.L) $70 billion takeover bid, which came only two months after he took office.
Speaking at BG’s annual general meeting in Reading, England, the former Statoil (STL.OL) boss said there is still much to do before the transaction can complete but that Shell’s bid, at a 50 percent premium to BG’s share price on April 7, maximizes BG’s value while removing potential risks.
The TRUTH will set you FREE.
