当地时间2月27日，华纳兄弟探索公司与派拉蒙天舞公司签署价值1110亿美元的收购协议，正式确认接 受派拉蒙的收购要约，这场持续数月的好莱坞巨头竞购战最终以派拉蒙胜出落下帷幕。 2月26日，华纳兄弟探索董事会率先宣布，派拉蒙提出的每股31美元、总价约1110亿美元的全现金报 价，相比此前与奈飞达成的协议更有利于股东，并给予奈飞四个工作日的报价匹配期。奈飞随后迅速地 发布声明，表示匹配该报价在财务上已不再具有吸引力，决定放弃竞购。奈飞联合首席执行官泰德·萨 兰多斯和格雷格·彼得斯强调，这笔交易始终是"价格合适则锦上添花"，而非不计代价必须拿下的核心 目标。 回顾竞购历程，去年12月奈飞曾以827亿美元的价格与华纳达成收购协议，计划收购华纳影视制片厂及 流媒体业务。但派拉蒙随即发起敌意收购，先后将报价从每股30美元提升至31美元，并附加多项保障条 款：若因监管审批未通过导致交易失败，派拉蒙将支付70亿美元监管终止费；代华纳向奈飞支付28亿美 元分手费；从2026年9月30日起，按季度向华纳股东支付每股0.25美元的延期补偿费。甲骨文创始人拉 里·埃里森为交易提供不可撤销的个人担保，进一步消除了华纳股东对资金到位的顾 ...

卡尔加里律师事务所Burnet，Duckworth and Palmer LLP副董事长格兰特·扎瓦尔斯基在接受加拿大广播 电台采访时表示，"当你不想投资钻井、无法获得预期回报时，并购是一种增长方式。在基本面改变之 前，我们可能会看到更多类似的情况。" 尽管整合可能会在今年持续，分析师预计交易势头会温和放缓，这在很大程度上是由于高质量目标的日 益稀缺。Sayer Energy Advisors的总裁汤姆·帕维奇告诉加拿大广播电台，"我不知道我们是否会看到我们 在2025年看到的价值，这些价值主要由一些价值数十亿美元的大交易主导，"。"我认为你仍然会看到相 当多的活动，只是规模较小"。 另外值得关注的是，加拿大能源行业的并购越来越注重改善环境、社会和治理（ESG）状况，最近涉及 目标公司的交易中，超过70%的ESG评分高于买家。与美国不同，ESG标准在加拿大能源行业仍然至关 重要，作为风险管理、投资吸引和社会运营许可的核心框架。 据能源新闻网站OilPrice.com报道，加拿大的石油和天然气行业目前正经历一场大规模的、持续数年的 整合浪潮。到2025年，已达成或正在进行的交易总额将超过378亿美元，这是自20 ...
