Under a proposal announced by Santos today, Santos would require Queensland Gas Company Limited (“QGC”) to establish a new ASX-listed company to boost the development of Queensland’s coal seam gas industry.
Under the proposal, Santos would pay QGC shareholders $1.30 per share in cash for all of their shares in return for the acquisition of QGC’s Undulla Nose coal seam gas assets in south-east Queensland.
In addition, QGC shareholders would also receive shares on a one-for-one basis in a ‘New QGC’ that would own a number of QGC’s existing highly prospective tenements. The ‘New QGC’, led by the current QGC board and management team, would focus on immediately commercialising these coal seam gas assets.
