Barrington gives up fight against Sunoma
Article Abstract:
Barrington Petroleum Ltd. has dropped its poison pill defence against a hostile takeover by Sunoma Energy Corp. According to the company's chief executive officer, Brian Gore, he expects that two-thirds of the majority shareholders would accept Sunoma's C$222-million cash offer. Gore said that the company was not able to pursue other potential buyers due to a shortage of time and by dropping stock markets. Potential buyers withdrew their interest in the company because they did not want to be rushed into making a decision before the deadline for Sunoma's offer, which was set for Sep. 4, 1998.
