Proposed Offer Terms
Under the terms of Husky's proposal, each MEG shareholder will have the option to elect to receive consideration per MEG share of $11 in cash or 0.485 of a Husky share, subject to maximum aggregate cash consideration of $1.0 billion and a maximum aggregate number of Husky shares issued of approximately 107 million. The share exchange ratio has been calculated based on Husky's closing share price of $22.68 as of September 28, 2018, the last trading day prior to this proposal, implying a mix of $3.21 in cash plus 0.344 of a Husky share per MEG share on a fully pro-rated basis.
Husky's proposal delivers an immediate 44 percent premium to the 10-day volume-weighted average MEG share price of $7.62 as of September 28, 2018 and a 37 percent premium to MEG's closing price of $8.03 as of that date.
