Occidental shareholders pass all proposals at annual meeting


Occidental Petroleum (OXY -4.3%) shareholders elect all 11 board seats including CEO Vicki Hollub and approved the issue of new shares and warrants, in the first shareholder votes on last year's acquisition of Anadarko Petroleum.

Shareholders authorized share warrants awarded to Berkshire Hathaway under a financing deal for Anadarko; directors elected include three associates of activist investor Carl Icahn, who opposed the Anadarko acquisition.

Occidental also was authorized to issue 400M shares, in part to give it a means of continuing to pay preferred dividends in stock, and potentially to swap shares for its debt.




요약하자면, 아나다코 인수로인한 침체를 해소하기위해

부채에 대한 부담 덜려고 4억 주를 신규 발행(유상증자)한다는 내용이지요?

알아보니까 유상증자인 경우에는 기존 주주들에게는 주식을 나누어주지 않는다고 하네요..

보통 액면분할과는 달리 발행주식수는 늘어나는데 주가는 하락하고..

기존 주주들에겐 상당한 악재가 아닌가요?

정말 그렇다면 당분간 상당폭의 하락이 있을거같네요.
