PARIS–(COMMERCIAL THREAD)–Regulatory news:
TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE):
As part of its future spin-off, TotalEnergies EP Canada Ltd announces that it has exercised its pre-emption right to acquire an additional 6.65% stake in the Fort Hills Energy Limited Partnership and related sales agreements and logistics from Teck Resources Limited, for a consideration of C$312 million.
Fort Hills is located 90 kilometers north of Fort McMurray in the province of Alberta. Prior to the transaction, TotalEnergies EP Canada held a 24.58% operating interest in the Fort Hills project and will own 31.23% after the transaction. TotalEnergies EP Canada also holds a 50% stake in the Surmont project located in the region.
In line with its low-carbon strategy, TotalEnergies announced in September 2022 its intention to exit the Canadian tar sands by spinning off TotalEnergies EP Canada in 2023. Through the acquisition of an additional stake in Fort Hills, TotalEnergies EP Canada is building the future for the spin-off entity into an asset with long-term growth potential. The demerger is expected to be put to a vote at TotalEnergies’ annual meeting of shareholders in May 2023.
“By taking this opportunity to grow your business on attractive terms, TotalEnergies EP Canada will provide value to future shareholders of the spin-off entity”, said Jean-Pierre Sbraire, CFO of TotalEnergie.
