Including the assumption of debt, the companies value the deal at $4.7 billion.
Dynergy said Friday its shareholders would receive $4.50 per share in cash for the nearly 120.6 million shares outstanding, representing a 62 percent premium from the closing price on Thursday.

Dynergy, based in Houston, separately agreed to sell four gas-fired power plants to NRG Energy for $1.36 billion in cash.
