更新2:Keyera收購Plains All American天然氣液體資產的交易受到競爭局質疑

By

-- (第五段新增Keyera關於預期收購完成時間的評論;更新股價。) Keyera (KEY.TO) 以51.5億美元收購Plains All American Pipeline (PAA) 加拿大天然氣液資產的交易遭遇官方阻力。加拿大競爭局週二表示,已向競爭法庭提交申請,對該交易提出質疑。 競爭局在聲明中表示,他們認為「擬議交易可能會損害天然氣液加工和儲存領域的競爭,尤其是在加拿大主要天然氣液加工和儲存樞紐——阿爾伯塔省薩斯喀徹溫堡」。 競爭局表示,向競爭法庭提交申請是基於一項調查,該調查得出結論,此次收購將消除薩斯喀徹溫堡市場的一個主要競爭對手,並加劇市場集中度。競爭局還表示,合併後的公司將「有能力提高價格、施加更不利的合約條款、減少擴大產能的激勵措施,並進一步鞏固對關鍵基礎設施的控制」。 Keyera公司去年7月首次宣布收購計畫時表示,此次收購將為其在加拿大西部和安大略省新增天然氣液分餾和加工設施,以及2,300萬桶原油儲存能力、1500英里管道和碼頭基礎設施。 Keyera在聲明中表示,週二開市前不久,公司收到了加拿大競爭局的申請。聲明稱,競爭局的質疑不會妨礙公司完成收購,預計本月完成。 「公司不同意競爭局局長對本次交易的斷言和描述,並將對該申請作出回應。正如公司此前所言,本次交易將加強整個盆地的競爭,並為客戶提供更便捷的關鍵市場准入渠道,以及在產品處理、運輸和銷售方面更大的靈活性。」聲明中寫道。 Keyera股票在多倫多證券交易所收盤下跌3.86美元,報49.11美元。
