Unocal board backs Chevron
ASSOCIATED PRESS in Los Angeles
Unocal's board of directors has recommended that its shareholders approve Chevron's offer to buy the company for more than US$17 billion (HK$133 billion), rejecting a competing offer from China's third-largest oil company.
Chevron boosted its offer by US$2 per share shortly before the Unocal board met on Tuesday night, raising its bid to US$63 per share or more than US$17 billion.
A CNOOC spokesman in Hong Kong on Wednesday said its bid for Unocal was still superior.
"We have what we consider a clearly superior full-cash offer on the table, and it remains there," the spokesman said.
CNOOC, a Hong Kong-based subsidiary of a Chinese state-owned oil company, is offering US$18.5 billion in cash for California-based Unocal, the ninth-largest US oil company. Chevron is offering a mix of cash and shares.
Financial newspapers reported last week that the CNOOC board gave management authorisation to raise its bid if necessary but the company would not confirm that.
CNOOC's board also reportedly agreed to pay the US oil company's shareholders as much as US$2.5 billion if it signed a takeover agreement but a deal was not completed.
Chevron chairman and chief executive David OReilly said late on Tuesday: "Our increased offer has been driven by competitive circumstances, but even at this higher price it remains a compelling transaction for Chevron stockholders."
Hours later, Unocal's board of directors recommended the company's stockholders vote in favour of adopting the amended merger at their August 10 meeting.
The move appeared to be a blow to CNOOC, an affiliate of China National Offshore Oil Corp. CNOOC, which is 70 per cent owned by the Chinese government, had offered US$67 per share for Unocal last month after Unocal already agreed to be acquired by Chevron.
American politicians have warned that CNOOC's effort could pose risks to United States national security and called for a full review by the administration of President George W. Bush. The Chinese company's officials have welcomed a security review and denied that CNOOC was acting on behalf of China's government, which is in the midst of a multibillion-dollar campaign to secure foreign oil and gas supplies to power its booming economy.
