- Monday, May 20, 10:07 AM Paulson & Co., whose funds own ~9.9% of the outstanding shares (12.8M) of Plains Exploration (PXP +7%), says it will vote in favor of Freeport McMoRan's (FCX -0.9%) proposed takeover of PXP and McMoRan Exploration (MMR) as it "adds another avenue for growth, diversifies its cash flows, and increases the proportion of earnings from the United States."

[On the Move] - Monday, May 20, 8:29 AM Sweetening the pot ahead of today's shareholder vote deciding the fate of Freeport McMoRan's (FCX) proposed takeover of Plains Exploration (PXP), PXP declares a special $3/share dividend and FCX announces a $1/share supplemental dividend to be paid upon closing the acquisition. With a close vote expected, the moves may well tip support in favor of the deal. PXP +6.2%, FCX +0.8% premarket. 5 Comments [Energy, On the Move]
- Thursday, May 9, 8:25 AM Freeport McMoRan (FCX) reiterates its support for its proposed acquisition of Plains Exploration (PXP) and that the agreed terms are the "best and final" offer. PXP says the financial and operational strength of the combined businesses will allow for accelerated value creation across the entire asset portfolio. FCX +1.3%, PXP -2.6% premarket. Comment! [Commodities, Energy, M&A, On the Move]
- Wednesday, May 8, 3:18 PM Freeport McMoRan's (FCX +2.7%) planned acquisition of Plains Exploration (PXP) likely will close in June despite objections, Morgan Stanley predicts as it maintains an Outperform rating on the shares. Long-term FCX shareholders should be rewarded with strong growth through 2015 and lower political uncertainty, the firm says, adding that copper inventories are starting to decline. 1 Comment [Commodities, M&A, On the Move]
- Tuesday, May 7, 2:29 PM Freeport McMoRan (FCX +0.2%) will not boost its offer for Plains Exploration (PXP +1.6%), according to sources cited by Dealreporter. Earlier today, ISS recommended shareholders vote against the deal as it believes the stock should trade higher based on intrinsic value alone. Comment! [Commodities, M&A, On the Move]
- Tuesday, May 7, 12:13 PM Proxy advisory firm ISS becomes the third financial outfit to come out against the proposed $6B takeover of Plains Exploration (PXP +2.2%) by Freeport McMoRan (FCX +0.4%). The FCX offer is too low, ISS says, adding that "even at the announcement day valuation of $49.55, the transaction would offer little or no takeover premium to the current stand-alone value."

- Thursday, April 18, 12:11 PM Analysts say Freeport McMoRan (FCX +1.4%) may need to raise its buyout bid for Plains Exploration (PXP +1.8%) to secure support from PXP stockholders ahead of initial drilling results from the key Phobos project in the Gulf of Mexico. Since the ~$50/share buyout was announced, FCX shares have slid 24%, reducing the value of the deal to ~$44/share. 7 Comments [Energy, M&A, On the Move]
- Wednesday, December 5, 2012, 12:57 PM Dahlman Rose analysts say that while Freeport (FCX -13.8%) investors, who viewed the company as a copper play, may look down on today's deal, the miner's balance sheet will better enable the expensive development of Plains' (PXP +25.2%) deepwater fields as well as McMoRan's (MMR +82.4%) Davy Jones prospect. The firm reiterates its Buy rating and $45 price target on FCX. 3 Comments [Commodities, Energy, M&A, On the Move]

With margins and cash flows strong, FCX anticipates continuing its current dividend. 7 Comments [Commodities, Energy, M&A, On the Move]
