11 Oct 2012dividend declaration● Neutral
Pengrowth declared a Cdn $0.04 per share dividend payable November 15, 2012 (record date October 22), unchanged from the reduced rate. The company's description of its assets now refers to the 'Lindbergh thermal bitumen project' rather than the SAGD wording used before.
13 Sept 2012dividend declaration● Neutral
Pengrowth declared a Cdn $0.04 per share dividend payable October 15, 2012 (record date September 24), the same reduced rate as the prior two months. DRIP/Premium Dividend terms are unchanged.

13 July 2012dividend declaration▼ BadMajor
Pengrowth confirmed that its August 15, 2012 dividend will be Cdn $0.04 per share (record date July 23), down from the Cdn $0.07 paid monthly until now. The filing refers to a July 6 announcement of the cut, which is not among the filings seen, and does not give a reason. This reverses the long-unchanged dividend and is a reduction for shareholders.
12 June 2012dividend declaration● Neutral
Pengrowth declared a Cdn $0.07 per share dividend payable July 16, 2012 (record date June 22), unchanged from before and the first declared after the NAL closing. DRIP/Premium Dividend terms are restated, and second-quarter results are planned for after markets close on August 10, 2012.
4 June 2012listing compliance notice● Neutral
Following the NAL closing, NAL's shares and debentures will stop trading under NAL's symbols at the close on June 5, 2012, and the debentures begin trading as Pengrowth debentures (PGF.DB, PGF.DB.A, PGF.DB.B) on June 6. Pengrowth has made the promised repurchase offer: 101% of principal for the 6.75% and 6.25% Series A debentures and 100% for the 6.25% Series B, plus accrued interest; holders who decline keep their debentures as Pengrowth obligations. This carries out the post-closing step flagged earlier. The filing gives no take-up results.
31 May 2012business combination● NeutralMajor
Pengrowth completed its combination with NAL Energy on May 31, 2012, as scheduled. NAL shareholders received 0.86 of a Pengrowth share per NAL share, the deal was valued at approximately $1.6 billion, and Pengrowth took on NAL's three convertible debentures. Existing Pengrowth holders are now diluted by the new shares issued (the earlier announcement put NAL holders at about 26%). Kel Johnston and Barry Stewart joined the board. This resolves the main open thread from the March deal.
24 May 2012business combination▲ GoodMajor
Shareholders of both companies approved the NAL combination on May 23, 2012: about 96% of NAL votes cast, and about 98% of Pengrowth votes cast for issuing up to 163,964,889 Pengrowth shares. Court approval was expected May 24 and closing is scheduled for May 31, 2012, so the main vote hurdles in the March deal are cleared.

23 Mar 2012business combination▲ GoodMajor
Pengrowth and NAL Energy Corporation signed an arrangement agreement under which NAL shareholders get 0.86 of a Pengrowth share per NAL share (a 9.7% premium on March 22 prices); former NAL holders would own about 26% of Pengrowth, so existing Pengrowth holders are diluted to roughly 74% but the companies say it should add to funds from operations and production per share. NAL's enterprise value including debt is about $1.9 billion; Pengrowth would assume NAL's convertible debentures, plans to sell about 10% of non-core assets, and expects closing around May 31, 2012 subject to shareholder, court and regulatory approvals, with a $45 million reciprocal non-completion fee. This is a new major deal, and it adds light-oil inventory and funds for the Lindbergh project mentioned earlier.
12 Mar 2012dividend declaration● Neutral

3 Jan 2012dividend declaration● Neutral

Dividend record dates move to between the 21st and 23rd of each month, while payment stays on the 15th. Optional share purchases of up to $1,000 per month continue.
