History
In 2001 Crescent Point Energy began trading on the TSX Venture Exchange as a junior exploration and production company. It joined the Toronto Stock Exchange the following year. In 2003, it merged with Tappit Resources. As part of the merger, Crescent Point converted to an income trust. In February 2007, it acquired Mission Oil and Gas for $628 million. From Mission, Crescent Point acquired a large position in the Viewfield Bakken oil field in the Williston Basin. Since 2007, Crescent Point has since expanded its Three Forks play both north and south of the border. In 2009, Crescent converted back to a normal corporation (from an income trust). In 2010, Crescent Point acquired properties in the Lower Shaunavon resource play in southwest Saskatchewan from Penn West Energy Trust. In return, it provided a number of properties in Alberta and Saskatchewan, as well as $434 million in cash. In 2012, Crescent Point acquired Ute Energy holdings for US$784 million, thus gaining significant oil production in the Uinta Basin in Utah. Crescent Point began trading on the New York Stock Exchange in 2014 under the same CPG symbol. In May 2015, Crescent Point acquired Legacy Oil and Gas for $1.5 billion.
In April 2018, the activist shareholder Cation Capital put forward a slate of four directors for the company's board. Cation was concerned about the company's poor share performance, high capital spending and debt, and excessive executive pay. As of May 2018, the company's share value had fallen 71% since it announced the acquisition of Legacy Oil and Gas. None of the directors put forward by Cation were elected in the May 2018 annual meeting, although some received significant support from shareholders.
On May 29, 2018, Crescent Point announced that Scott Saxberg would be leaving the company after 17 years, with Craig Bryksa taking over duties as President and CEO on an interim basis.
