ASX Sharemarket News

In ASX sharemarket news, AGL Energy Ltd (ASX: AGL) has been granted exclusive due diligence on Vocus Group Limited (ASX: VOC) for a period of four weeks after submitting a non-binding, indicative bid of $4.85 per share.

The two companies had previously been unable to agree due diligence terms because EQT Infrastructure had submitted a bid.

AGL is interested in Vocus because its strategy is to meet the needs of increasingly connected customers as energy and data streams converge. AGL described itself as capable of integrating and managing complex assets and customer portfolios.

One of the main reasons that AGL is interested is Vocus’ broadband fibre infrastructure network and also the synergy benefits.

Woodside Petroleum Limited (ASX: WPL) announced that the Pluto LNG turnaround has been completed as planned but the mixed refrigerant compressor has experienced vibration on the restart.

Therefore, Woodside said further activities are needed to restart the production, which is targeted for the end of June 2019.

In order to meet its obligations to customers Woodside is undertaking actions such as purchasing third party cargo.

Woodside concluded that this will lead Woodside’s 2019 production to be at the lower end of 88 to 94 MMBOE (Million Barrels of Oil Equivalent).
