Bidding War in the Oil Patch: Why Adam Waterous Isn’t Backing Down| In the Money with Amber Kanwar

It's the biggest takeover battle in Canada right now. Adam Waterous returns to In the Money with Amber Kanwar to make his case for why MEG Energy shareholders should vote for his offer. As Founder & Executive Chairman of Strathcona Resources he’s going head-to-head against Cenovus in a high-stakes bidding war.

In this candid conversation, Adam explains why Strathcona raised its offer, what makes his all-share deal different from Cenovus’ largely cash bid, and why he believes MEG shareholders are leaving nearly $4 billion on the table if they don’t back his plan. He also tackles tough questions about shareholder concerns, Strathcona’s special dividend, and whether critics are right to call his stock “inflated paper.”

Adam lambastes MEG's board for never engaging with him from the very beginning and tells how much Cenovus should have fork over to outbid him.

If you want to understand what’s really at stake in the MEG Energy bidding war — and hear directly from the man behind one of the boldest plays in oil sands history — you won’t want to miss this interview.
