據(jù)烴加工新聞6月1日消息稱，伍德賽德能源集團有限公司和必和必拓集團有限公司已完成伍德賽德與必和必拓石油和天然氣投資組合的合并，以創(chuàng)建一家全球能源公司。

伍德賽德已收購了必和必拓國際石油有限公司（BHPP）的全部股本，并向BHP發(fā)行了914,768,948股新的伍德賽德股票，BHP將把這些股票分配給其合格股東。

伍德賽德將收到約10億美元的凈現(xiàn)金，其中包括完成交易前BHPP銀行賬戶中剩余的現(xiàn)金。這反映了必和必拓在2021年7月1日生效日期至完成之間產生的18億美元凈現(xiàn)金流，同期必和必拓獲得伍德賽德支付的現(xiàn)金股利的比例則減少了8億美元。

根據(jù)所有已訖付款應受付款后審查的慣例，具體金額或將調整。

伍德賽德的新股票預計將于2022年6月2日在澳大利亞證券交易所（ASX）開始交易。伍德賽德美國存托股票預計于2022年6月2日在紐約證券交易所開始交易。伍德賽德股份預計于2022年6月6日開始在倫敦證券交易所上市證券的主要市場交易。

合并后，伍德賽德成為全球排名前10位的獨立能源公司（按油氣產量計算），也是澳大利亞證券交易所上市的最大能源公司。規(guī)模更大、更多樣化的投資組合有望帶來大量現(xiàn)金流，幫助伍德賽德投資于已承諾的項目、參與能源轉型和股東回報。

Woodside completes merger with BHP Petroleum

Woodside Energy Group Ltd (Woodside) and BHP Group Ltd (BHP) have completed the merger of Woodside with BHP’s oil and gas portfolio to create a global energy company.

Woodside has acquired the entire share capital of BHP Petroleum International Pty Ltd (BHPP) and issued 914 768 948 new Woodside shares to BHP, which BHP will distribute to its eligible shareholders.

Woodside will receive net cash of approximately US$1 billion, which includes the cash remaining in the BHPP bank accounts immediately prior to completion. This reflects US$1.8 billion of net cash flows generated by BHPP between the effective date of 1 July 2021 and completion, less US$0.8 billion representing BHP’s entitlement to cash dividends paid by Woodside over the same period.

All completion payment entitlements are subject to a customary post-completion review which may result in an adjustment.

The new Woodside shares are expected to commence trading on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) on 2 June 2022. Trading of Woodside American Depositary Shares on the New York Stock Exchange is expected to commence on 2 June 2022. Trading of Woodside shares on the Main Market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange is expected to commence on 6 June 2022.

As a result of the merger, Woodside is a top 10 global independent energy company by hydrocarbon production and the largest energy company listed on the ASX. The larger, more diversified portfolio is expected to deliver significant cash flow to help fund committed projects, Woodside’s participation in the energy transition and shareholder returns.
