Dana Gas PJSC has announced that it is acquiring Canada’s Centurion Energy International Inc. The deal is worth around C$1.15 billion and it would give them access to exploration assets in Egypt, Tunisia and West Africa.
As per the financial aspects of this deal, Dana Gas would be paying around C$12 per share. This is a 36% premium over the closing price of Centurion Energy on Oct. 30. This was just the day before the moment Centurion had said that it received an unsolicited takeover offer.
