STEP Energy's shares jumped after the energy-services company's controlling shareholder moved to buy the outstanding stake.

In morning trading, the shares were 27% higher at C$5.40.

STEP on Thursday said it has received a non-binding offer from ARC Financial to buy all shares not currently owned for C$5.50 apiece. ARC currently owns or has control over a 55% stake in STEP.

STEP's board has formed a special committee of independent directors to consider the offer, and has hired Peters & Co. as its financial adviser.
