Sunken oil tanker merger leaves CEO adrift

LONDON, Jan 10 (Reuters Breakingviews) - Promising to lock his main shareholder in a “gilded prison” may not have been the best way to win support for a controversial merger. So now Euronav (EUAV.BR) Chief Executive Hugo De Stoop will not head the $6 billion oil tanker empire that would have resulted from a deal with rival Frontline (FRO.OL). The slightly smaller suitor on Monday called off an all-share deal that dated back to last April, when the parties agreed to merge. Investors’ apparent surprise came even though Euronav’s main shareholder, family-controlled Compagnie Maritime Belge, increased its stake to more than 25%, with the apparent goal of crippling the deal. They do not reflect the views of Reuters News, which, under the Trust Principles, is committed to integrity, independence, and freedom from bias.
Jan 9 (Reuters) - Oil tanker company Frontline (FRO.OL) said on Monday a $4.2 billion deal to merge with rival Euronav NV (EUAV.BR) was terminated, a combination which would have created the world's largest publicly listed tanker company. Frontline will not make a voluntary conditional exchange offer for Belgian oil tanker and storage operator Euronav's shares and will no longer seek a listing on Euronext Brussels, it said in a statement. "We regret that we could not complete the merger as envisaged in July 2022, as that would have created the by far largest publicly listed tanker company," Chief Executive Lars Barstad said. The two companies announced the deal last year, aiming to create a market-leading oil tanker group with 146 vessels. However, since the announcement of the planned merger, Euronav had clashed with its biggest shareholder Compagnie Maritime Belge (CMB), which sought to block it.
