Cameron Stockholders Vote Yes to Schlumberger Merger
Cameron (CAM) announced that its stockholders, at a special meeting held earlier Thursday, have overwhelmingly voted to adopt the previously announced merger agreement providing for the acquisition of Cameron by a wholly owned subsidiary of Schlumberger Limited. Upon completion of the transaction, each share of Cameron common stock will convert into the right to receive 0.716 shares of common stock of Schlumberger Limited and a cash payment of $14.44.
"We are pleased that our stockholders have clearly recognized and endorsed the significant value generated by this transaction," said Scott Rowe, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cameron. "The combination of the two organizations will create a premier oilfield equipment and services company uniquely positioned to deliver superior value to the industry."
The transaction remains subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions, and the companies expect the acquisition will close in the first quarter of 2016.
Cameron is a leading provider of flow equipment products, systems and services to worldwide oil and gas industries.
