Anadarko Accepts Occidental Bid

Anadarko's board has decided to proceed with Occidental's bid, giving Chevron a chance to either withdraw with a break fee or improve their offer. Occidental has partnered with Totale to purchase Anadarko's African assets, addressing some debt concerns. Chevron remains committed to its disciplined strategy, though its next move is uncertain. Meanwhile, Carl Icahn has acquired a minority stake in Occidental, but a shareholder vote was avoided due to investments from Warren Buffett and Totale.
