Hong KongLi Ka-shing’s family sold a British grid for HK$110 billion.

The family trust and CK Hutchison hold about 30% of Cenovus, the buyer of Athabasca Oil.

Cenovus pays about C$5.7 billion in cash and shares for Athabasca, whose proven and probable reserves last over 75 years.

Cenovus expects about C$85 million in yearly savings, after the deal’s expected December close.

reads the Li family's sales as a 'high-price cash-out' of mature utility assets, and the Cenovus Athabasca buy as a pivot to oil sands driven by energy security
