Royal Dutch Shell’s proposed $70 billion acquisition of BG could trigger pre-emption rights
The proposed takeover of BG Group by Royal Dutch Shell in a $70 billion deal could be short-sighted, and capable of triggering pre-emption rights in gas and oil fields in a backlash that could undermine the value and integrity of the deal.
Anglo-Dutch oil giant, Shell revealed the main reason for its attempt to acquire BG Group was because of its position on gas prospects in Brazil, where BM-S-9 and BM-S-11, the two exploration oil blocks controlled by BG in Brazil.
However, BG revealed in its annual report published recently that: “In certain specific circumstances, it is possible that BG Group’s partners in BM-S-9 (Petrobras and Repsol Sinopec Brasil) have a right of first refusal to acquire BG Group’s interest…in the event of a change of control of BG Group Plc.”
For strategic reasons, both BG and Shell would rather not make any comments on the BM-S-9 rights.
