Proxy advisory firms ISS and Glass Lewis back Sunoco offer for Parkland
CALGARY - Two proxy advisory services are recommending shareholders vote in favour of Parkland Corp.'s planned takeover by U.S. company Sunoco LP. Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. and Glass, Lewis & Co. are both endorsing the friendly cash-and-stock deal announced last month, which is valued at US$9.1 billion including assumed debt. Parkland owns the Ultramar, Chevron and Pioneer gas station chains as well as several other brands in 26 countries and a refinery in Burnaby, B.C. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW Parkland's biggest shareholder Simpson Oil, which holds an almost 20 per cent stake, has said it plans to vote in favour of the offer. However, New York-based Engine Capital, which owns 2.5 per cent of Parkland's shares, has said it won't support the deal as it stands. The shareholder vote is set for June 24. ISS noted in a report that the deal came together in the last moments of a proxy context with Simpson, which had been pushing for a leadership overhaul and performance improvements. 'Given this backstory, there are inherent concerns that the process was reactive, accelerated, and/or placed (Parkland) in a disadvantageous bargaining position, and thereby resulted in an offer that undervalues the company,' the ISS report said. 'However, when viewed in proper context, there are compelling reasons to believe that this deal is the best path forward for shareholders.' ISS said the deal is a way for shareholders to 'move on at a premium' from Parkland's long-standing issues while still being able to benefit from its upside potential. Glass Lewis concluded in its report that while some shareholders, including Engine, were skeptical about the timing of the takeover announcement, it sees evidence that the Parkland board was motivated by the merits of the transaction and not solely self-preservation. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW The proxy firm said the deal offers a 'credible path' toward resolving Parkland's problems. 'While shareholder scrutiny of the process is both understandable and appropriate, the terms of the agreement suggest that the board succeeded in negotiating a transaction that largely aligns with shareholder interests,' Glass Lewis said.

Trump family enters the mobile phone game with $499 cellphone
The Trump Organization, run by the children of U.S. President Donald Trump, announced Monday it was launching a new mobile phone business: Trump Mobile. The president's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., announced the latest endeavour alongside his brother, Eric Trump, from Trump Tower in New York City. The so-called '47 Plan,' which is being offered only in the U.S., includes a US$499 smartphone and a $47.45 monthly plan — a nod to the president's first and second terms — that includes unlimited text, talk and data, a 'telehealth and pharmacy benefit' and roadside assistance, according to the venture's website. The service will also offer free long-distance calling for military members and their families. No contract or credit check will be required to access the plan. The smartphone appears to come in a gold-coloured metal case etched with the American flag. Story continues below advertisement Screengrab / Eric Trump said the phones, which will go on sale this September, will be made in the U.S., and that the phone service will maintain a call centre in the country as well.

'Hard-working Americans deserve a wireless service that's affordable, reflects their values, and delivers reliable quality they can count on,' he also in a statement, arguing that consumers deserve a phone that aligns with their values. 📲Announcing Trump Mobile, a transformational, new cellular service designed to deliver top-tier connectivity, unbeatable value and all-American service for our nation's hardest-working people.🇺🇸 Visit to learn more. — The Trump Organization (@Trump) June 16, 2025 Story continues below advertisement The 'Trump Mobile' announcement comes less than a month after the president threatened to slap 25 per cent tariffs on iPhone maker Apple and other smartphone giants for not producing their phones domestically. It is the latest in a string of ventures that have been announced while Trump is in the White House. The announcement of the mobile phone and service, called T1 Mobile — not to be confused with the widely used T-Mobile, an American wireless network operator — follows several real estate deals for towers and resorts in the Middle East, including a golf development in Qatar announced in April. A $1.5 billion partnership to build golf courses, hotels and real estate projects in Vietnam was approved last month, but the deal was in the works before Trump was elected. Oversight of companies with the Trump name attached has raised ethical concerns. Story continues below advertisement The Federal Communications Commission, the primary regulatory body overseeing mobile phone companies, has already launched investigations of media outlets Trump dislikes and, in some cases, is personally suing. As CNBC notes, 'the company's new foray into telecommunications mainly comprises a licensing agreement,' and follows other products the president and his businesses have rolled out during his political careers, like Bibles, sneakers and watches. On Friday, the president reported that he had made more than $8 million in 2024 from various licensing agreements. The announcement was timed to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the day Trump took the golden escalator inside Trump Tower down to announce his 2016 presidential run, notes CNN. — With files from The Associated Press
