Directors of Australia-based Eureka Energy Ltd. have rejected a proposal from Fort Worth-based Lonestar Resources Inc. for Eureka to acquire Lonestar for scrip consideration. Eureka said it had expected to reject the proposal when it was received last week. "Nevertheless, over the weekend the company pursued discussions with Lonestar with the objective of securing a proposal on more favorable terms," Eureka said. "The parties were unable to agree on terms, and consequently Lonestar has withdrawn the proposal." An offer by Australia's Aurora Oil & Gas Ltd. to acquire Eureka expires Friday (see Shale Daily, June 11). Both Aurora and Eureka have assets in the Eagle Ford Shale of South Texas, as does Lonestar. On Wednesday Eureka said "it is reasonable to accept" the Aurora offer after previously recommending that shareholders reject it.
