Dome reported the terms of Chicago-based Amoco’s $3.86-billion takeover bid to its 60 major creditors, but there were indications that the offer could fail. Trying to overcome a debt burden of $4.7 billion, Dome said Amoco Canada has offered to pay secured lenders an average of 88.5% of their loans in a mix of cash and securities. The secured lenders, owed more than $3 billion and led by major banks, could take another option and link their equity to future oil prices with the potential to recover 100% of their money. Unsecured lenders were offered 35 cents on the dollar. The creditors’ first reaction was negative.
