canada pension plan offer Hopefully we could hear something from the CPPID shortly for a bidding war :)
Canada Pension Plan Investment Board is weighing a bid for Talisman Energy Inc., people with knowledge of the matter said, even as Repsol SA closes in on a deal for the Canadian oil-and-gas explorer.
Canada Pension initially considered buying parts of Talisman and is now also looking at a bid for the whole company after a plunge in its shares, one of the people said, asking not to be identified discussing private information. Talisman is aware of Canada Pension’s interest in a deal, though a deal may not be reached, the people said...
...Representatives for Talisman, Canada Pension, and Repsol declined to comment. Talisman said today that it is in talks with Repsol and “also been approached by a number of other parties regarding various transactions.”
