联邦贸易委员会表示，埃克森美孚和先锋自然资源公司之间的大型合并可以继续进行，但先锋公司董事长斯科特谢菲尔德已经退出。
联邦贸易委员会将允许埃克森美孚和先锋自然资源公司进行价值 595 亿美元的大规模合并，但阻止先锋公司创始人兼董事长斯科特·谢菲尔德获得埃克森美孚董事会席位。
埃克森美孚表示，最初让谢菲尔德获得董事会席位的交易将于 5 月 3 日完成。
联邦贸易委员会命令和同意令的核心是指控埃克森美孚董事会将从事“串通活动”，这可能会提高原油价格，导致消费者和企业支付更高的汽油价格、柴油、取暖油和喷气燃料。

A megamerger between Exxon Mobil and Pioneer Natural Resources can proceed, but Pioneer Chairman Scott Sheffield is out, the Federal Trade Commission says.
The Federal Trade Commission will allow a blockbuster $59.5 billion merger between Exxon Mobil and Pioneer Natural Resources to proceed, but blocks Pioneer founder and chairman Scott Sheffield from gaining a seat on Exxon’s board.
Exxon said the deal, which originally had Sheffield taking a board seat, is set to close May 3.
At the heart of the FTC’s order and consent order are allegations that, on Exxon’s board, Sheffield would engage in “collusive activity” that could potentially raise crude oil prices, leading consumers and businesses to pay higher prices for gasoline, diesel fuel, heating oil and jet fuel.
