Proxy adviser ISS has endorsed Oil Search’s $US2.2bn takeover bid for InterOil, with the target’s shareholders scheduled to vote on the deal on 26 July 2016. However, ExxonMobil is believed to be poised to outbid Oil Search with an offer that is about 10 per cent higher. ExxonMobil – which is Oil Search’s partner in the Papua New Guinea LNG project – has not been officially confirmed as the rival suitor for InterOil.
