Strathcona Resources Ltd. has proposed a $5.9 billion takeover of MEG Energy Corp., intended to create significant synergies and boost production capabilities. Strathcona, which already owns a 9.2% stake in MEG, had a previous offer rejected by MEG's board, which is now considering the new proposal. Strathcona insists that combining the two companies should offer shareholders the chance to evaluate the benefits. This merger could position the new entity as a top-tier oil producer in Canada, with identified synergies worth $175 million annually.
