This excerpt taken from the GBR 8-K filed Sep 25, 2008. In Re Carl E. Smith, Inc., Case No. 03-22274 (Chapter 11) pending in the United Stated
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of West Virginia, which was substantively consolidated with Carl E. Smith Real Estate, Inc., Case No. 03-22298 and Carl E. Smith Petroleum, Inc., Case No. 08-20022 (the “Bankruptcy Proceedings”). Pursuant to the Bankruptcy Proceedings, a subsidiary of NCE acquired a claim of an independent third party, and engaged in a bidding contest which resulted in the Court awarding NCE the bid on August 6, 2008 which was confirmed August 16,
2008, but various documents and instruments confirming the matter were not completed until September 19, 2008. Pursuant to the confirmed Plan of Reorganization, NCE paid all existing debt to third parties of approximately $5 million, paid cash of $7.3 million dollars to certain shareholders and paid or will pay approximately $1.6 million dollars in fees and bankruptcy related costs. In addition, NCE agreed to a payout over time to certain of the
former shareholders of $685,000 over the next 17 years and agreed to pay an additional $1.6 million dollars with payment terms based upon the available cash flow from the acquired assets. Such agreement provides that $800,000 will be paid no later than the end of the fifth year and $800,000 will be paid by no later than the seventeenth year. The cash portion of the asset acquisition totaling approximately $13.9 million dollars was or will be paid
from existing working capital held by NCE. No material relationship existed, other than in respect to the transaction, among NCE and the various entities or their shareholders. |
