Misen Energy AB (publ) signs new amendment to Joint Activity Agreement
As of 7 April 2014, Misen Energy AB (publ) (the “Company”) has received full confirmation and approval from the Ukrainian State authorities with regard to the Amendment No. 6 to the Joint Activity Agreement (“JAA”). The Amendment No. 6 was signed earlier in February 2014 and was preceded by negotiations regarding extension of the Company’s subsidiary Misen Enterprises AB’s obligation to contribute to Joint Activity (“JA”) KUSD 12,516 (KSEK 80,685) under the Amendment No. 5.
With the full support and understanding from all related parties, the newly signed amendment provides greater authority to JA’s Management Committee, which in turn agreed on extension of Misen Enterprises AB’s obligation to contribute funding until 31 December 2014. In addition, Amendment No. 6 excludes inoperative well stock that fell under the expiring licenses held by PJSC Ukrgasvydobuvannya, thus addressing and mitigating company-related license risks.
The above-mentioned signing of Amendment No. 6 effectively cancels previously signed and announced Amendment No. 6 (in April 2013). The Company’s commitment to facilitate additional financing to JA, when required, has been reduced to the original value of UAH 3 billion (approximately KSEK 1,760,000) and will be reflected in 2014 reports under contingent liability in the Misen group’s accounts.
For more details, please refer to the Annual Report and consolidated financial statements for the financial year 2013.
