An announcement from NuVista Energy ( (TSE:NVA) ) is now available.

NuVista Energy has filed its management information circular and related materials for a special shareholder meeting to vote on a previously announced plan of arrangement under which Ovintiv Inc. will acquire NuVista. The deal offers NuVista shareholders (excluding Ovintiv and its affiliates) the choice of receiving cash at $18 per share, Ovintiv stock, or a mix of both, with the cash price representing a 21% premium to NuVista’s unaffected 20‑day volume‑weighted average price and exceeding any closing price over the past 15 years. The transaction is positioned as providing immediate value, liquidity, and ongoing upside via ownership of an approximately 10.6% stake in a larger, investment‑grade Ovintiv, giving NuVista investors exposure to a US$25 billion pro forma enterprise value, Ovintiv’s established positions in the Permian and Montney plays, and its growing dividend and capital return program. The special meeting is scheduled for January 23, 2026, in Calgary, with shareholders urged to review the circular and vote ahead of the proxy deadline.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:NVA) stock is a Hold with a C$18.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on NuVista Energy stock, see the TSE:NVA Stock Forecast page.
