Shell seeking to buy BG in first oil super-merger in over a decade

Apr 8th, 2015

The collapse in global oil prices has sparked much speculation about mergers in the industry and BG has often been cited as a potential target.

(Reuters) – Royal Dutch Shell(RDSa.L) is in advanced talks to buy BG Group (BG.L) in the first oil super-merger in more than a decade, seeking to extend its lead in gas production and close the gap with the world’s biggest oil major, U.S. ExxonMobil (XOM.N).

BG, which has a market value of $46 billion, said in a statement on Tuesday it was in advanced discussions regarding a possible offer by Shell, whose market capitalisation is $202 billion. Exxon is worth $360 billion.

A successful deal would give Shell access to BG’s multi-billion dollar projects in Brazil, East Africa, Australia, Kazakhstan and Egypt, including some of the world’s most ambitious liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects.

FT: Shell-BG: more details of the deal

8 April 2015

Following the momentous news that Royal Dutch Shell is buying BG Group for £47bn, here are some more details for investors to chew over, including a promise of a big premium, enhanced dividends and a share buyback.

Financial details of the offer:

The deal, which gives BG investors 383p in cash and 0.4454 Shell B shares is based on a 90 day trading day volume weighted average price of 2,170.3p per Shell B Share on 7 April 2015.
This, Shell says, gives a value of approximately 1,350p per BG Share.
The 1,350p is a premium of approximately 52 per cent to the 90 trading day volume weighted average price of 890.4 pence per BG Share on 7 April 2015.

Why is it happening?

Shell believes there are major benefits to be had in taking on BG’s reserves and projects (in a market where low oil prices have made it unprofitable to develop new projects from scratch). From Shell’s statement:

Royal Dutch Shell in Talks for BG Group, a Gas Producer

“That calculus could change if Shell and BG merge. A deal of this size could inspire some wavering would-be sellers to pursue deals. Advisers say that they expect mergers activity to pick up this year, mostly once oil prices show more signs of stability.”

LONDON — The British oil and gas producer BG Group said on Tuesday that it was in advanced discussions with Royal Dutch Shell over a potential sale. A deal could top $50 billion.

BG Group added that there could be no certainty that an offer would ultimately be made by Shell.

Still, two people briefed on the matter said that an agreement could be announced soon. A Shell spokesman, Andy Norman, declined to comment.

BG has a market value of $46 billion. Its shares rose about 6.7 percent in London trading on Tuesday.
