The MEG meeting regarding the Cenovus deal has been postponed for another week.
MEG board chair James McFarland paused the meeting twice on Thursday to address a last-minute "regulatory inquiry" before adjourning it until November.
This development is the latest in a months-long takeover fight between Cenovus Energy Inc. and Strathcona Resources Ltd.
Strathcona dropped its all-stock bid earlier this month and has since pledged to vote its 14% stake in MEG in favor of a sweetened offer from Cenovus.
