The MEG shareholder vote on a proposed takeover by Cenovus Energy Inc. has been delayed another week.
MEG board chair James McFarland twice paused a meeting Thursday to address a last-minute "regulatory inquiry" before adjourning it until Nov.
This is the latest twist in a bitter months-long takeover fight between Cenovus and smaller rival bidder Strathcona Resources Ltd.
Strathcona dropped its all-stock bid earlier this month and pledged to vote its 14 per cent stake in MEG in favour of a sweetened offer from Cenovus.
No comment from the companies.
Author summary: MEG meeting postponed due to regulatory inquiry.
