As a result, the aggregate consideration will comprise between 65 percent and 75 percent cash and between 25 percent and 35 percent Cenovus shares, based on elections made and deemed to be made by Athabasca shareholders, Cenovus noted in its statement.</p> <p>“Depending on a particular shareholder’s election and pro-rationing, an Athabasca shareholder may ultimately receive entirely cash, entirely Cenovus shares, or a combination of both,” the statement pointed out.</p> <p>Cenovus revealed in its statement that the cash portion of the consideration will be funded with cash on hand and certain short-term borrowings.</p> <p>“Cenovus’s financial framework and net debt target of C$4 billion are to remain unchanged,” the company said, adding that its net debt at the end of the third quarter was approximately C$3.0 billion.</p><div id='newsArticleDianomoAds' style='display:none'><hr style='margin:5px 0px;'><div style='color:#808080;text-align: center;'>Advertisement - Scroll to continue</div><div class='dianomi_context' data-dianomi-context-id='4460'></div></div> <p>“Including the cash component of this transaction, year-end 2026 pro forma net debt is expected to be between C$5.0 billion to C$5.5 billion at strip pricing representing less than 0.5 times adjusted funds flow”, Cenovus projected.</p> <p>Cenovus highlighted in its statement that the transaction has been unanimously approved by the board of directors of both companies.</p> <p>“Athabasca’s directors and executive officers have entered into voting and support agreements with Cenovus, pursuant to which they have agreed, subject to their terms, to vote all Athabasca common shares beneficially owned or controlled by them, representing approximately 2.2 percent of Athabasca’s issued and outstanding common shares, in favor of the transaction,” Cenovus pointed out.</p> <p>Cenovus revealed in its statement that it expects the acquisition to close in December 2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and approval of the transaction by Athabasca shareholders.
