Shell Reportedly Evaluates Potential Acquisition of BP Shell plc (LSE:SHEL) is working with advisers to evaluate a potential acquisition of BP p.l.c. (LSE:BP.), though it’s waiting for further stock and oil price declines before deciding whether to pursue a bid, according to people familiar with the matter. The oil major has been more seriously discussing the feasibility and merits of a BP takeover with its advisers in recent weeks, the people said, asking not be identified because the information is private. Any final decision will likely depend on whether BP stock continues to slide, the people said. Shares of BP have already lost nearly a third of their value in the last 12 months as a turnaround plan has fallen flat with investors and oil prices tumbled. Shell may also wait for BP to reach out or for another suitor to make a first move, and its current work could help it get prepared for such a scenario, some of the people said. Deliberations are in the early stages and Shell may opt to focus on share buybacks and bolt-on acquisitions rather than a megamerger, they said. Other large energy companies have also been analyzing whether they would want to bid for BP, the people said. “As we have said many times before, we are sharply focused on capturing the value in Shell through continuing to focus on performance, discipline and simplification,” a spokesperson for Shell said in an emailed statement. A representative for BP declined to comment. A successful combination of Shell and BP would be one of the oil industry’s largest-ever takeovers, bringing together the iconic British majors in a deal that’s been discussed on and off for decades. The companies were once close rivals — with a similar size, reach and global clout — but their paths have diverged in recent years. Investors are growing impatient. Activist firm Elliott Investment Management has gone public with a 5% holding in BP and is calling on the company to consider more transformative measures. Elliott views BP’s plan as lacking ambition and urgency, and believes it could potentially expose the company to a takeover, Bloomberg News reported in April. Under CEO Wael Sawan, Shell has also been cutting costs, shedding poorly performing renewables units and refocusing on fossil fuels. While Shell’s stock has outpaced that of Chevron Corp. and Exxon Mobil Corp. in recent years, the company’s valuation has yet to match those of its big oil rivals in the US. Sawan told analysts Friday that Shell will “of course” keep looking at inorganic opportunities but will be prudent and “the bar is high.” Any deal would need to add to free cash flow per share in a relatively short period, he said. “I have said in the past that we want to be value hunters. Today, value hunting – in my view – is buying back more Shell” stock, Sawan said on the conference call. He added that “we have to have our own house in order” before looking at sizable acquisitions, and that the company has “more work to do” to reach its full potential despite the progress it’s made over the past couple years. Shell is doing deals where it has the capability to create value, such as with its purchase of liquefied natural gas trader Pavilion Energy Pte, Sawan said. A successful takeover of BP could bolster Shell’s output growth by allowing the company to regain exposure to the US, after it sold its Permian Basin shale assets to ConocoPhillips in 2021. Any transaction would likely dwarf Shell’s 2016 acquisition of BG Group, a deal that was valued at close to $50 billion. Tillkännagivande • Apr 29

Elliott Management Reportedly Pushing BP to Sell Assets and Cut Green Spending BP p.l.c. (LSE:BP.) has been ordered to cut spending on renewable energy by its third largest shareholder as pressure grows on the oil giant to boost investor returns. Elliott Management Corporation is said to be pushing BP to make a string of divestments as it emerged the US hedge fund has taken a near 5% stake in the company worth £3.8 billion. It means Elliott, run by the billionaire Paul Singer, is now BP's third biggest investor behind BlackRock and Vanguard, which have stakes of 9% and 5% respectively, the Financial Times reported. A decision to lower investment in green energy such as wind, solar, biofuel and hydrogen would mark a major reversal for BP, which has poured billions of pounds into renewables in recent years in a strategy pursued under Bernard Looney, its former chief executive. A source close to Elliott told the FT: "The time for minor course corrections at BP is long gone. The level of undervaluation [of BP] is profound and the pathway to alleviate that undervaluation is clear and addressable". Elliott Management views BP's investments in its green energy ventures as a poor use of capital that helped contribute to lower return for investors. BP's share price spiked earlier this week after it emerged Elliott had taken a stake in the FTSE 100 oil major, before Murray Auchincloss, its chief executive, promised a "fundamental reset" of company strategy. Elliott and BP were contacted for comment. Tillkännagivande • Feb 11
