[에너지신문] 12 February 2016 - The High Court of Justice of England and Wales (United Kingdom) has approved the merger between Shell and BG; the scheme of arrangement remains subject to the delivery of the Court order to the Registrar of Companies and is expected to become effective on 15 February 2016.

The merger has already been approved by the United States, Brazil, the European Union, Australia and China.

Shell expects the integration of BG's activities into Shell's businesses to raise pre-tax synergies of US$3.5bn. With regards to office footprint rationalisation in the United Kingdom, Shell will, following deal completion, undertake a comprehensive review during the course of 2016. A total of 2,800 jobs could be cut (about 3% of the total combined group workforce), as part of Shell's plans to reduce its headcount and contractor positions by 7,500 globally.
