Gold Reserve Ltd. (TSX.V: GRZ) (BSX: GRZ.BH) (OTCQX: GDRZF) corrected widespread misinformation concerning the offer made by Amber Energy. Several shareholders, media outlets, and financial analysts had incorrectly reported that Amber Energy‘s bid included a $500 million cash payment to Gold Reserve.
The company stated that this claim is entirely false. Amber Energy‘s proposal actually offers a recovery of only 15% of the $500 million claim, contingent upon court approval and acceptance by Gold Reserve. This significantly reduces the potential cash payout compared to initial reports.
Gold Reserve stressed the importance of disseminating accurate information to ensure transparency for all its stakeholders. The company highlighted that any suggestion of a $500 million cash payment is misleading and does not reflect the actual terms of Amber Energy‘s proposal.
Details of the Delaware sale proceedings, including the specifics of the Amber Energy bid, are publicly accessible through the Public Access to Court Electronic Records system in the case of Crystallex International Corporation v. Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, 1:17-mc-00151-LPS (D. Del.) and associated proceedings.
The company included a cautionary statement regarding forward-looking statements, acknowledging the inherent uncertainties and risks associated with the bid and the ongoing legal proceedings. These uncertainties include the discretion of the Special Master to consider the bid, the possibility of objections, and the need for regulatory approvals such as those from the U.S. Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC), the U.S. Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, or the TSX Venture Exchange. Further risks involve securing sufficient financing and shareholder approvals, as well as potential costs and delays.
The company warned investors against placing undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Gold Reserve disclaimed any obligation to update these statements, except as required by applicable securities laws. The TSX Venture Exchange does not accept responsibility for the accuracy or adequacy of this release. Further information about both Gold Reserve and Amber Energy can be found on their respective websites.
