1021 ET - Strathcona isn't giving up on a tie-up with MEG Energy, even if it keeps getting rebuffed. MEG Energy is still looking to push through its marriage with Cenovus, even after a new offer from Strathcona. Strathcona says it still has "strong shareholder support" for its bid. The shareholder meeting to decide the fate of the company is on Oct. 9, and Strathcona, which has been buying shares in MEG Energy, says it will use its now 14.2% interest to vote against the deal. "Strathcona is disappointed that the MEG Board has elected to re-commit to the MEG Board Deal, despite the clearly superior Amended Offer," it says, adding that its offer delivers both an upfront premium to the MEG Board Deal "and allows MEG shareholders to fully participate in future upside as part of a bigger, stronger business."
