Item 1.02.
Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 30, 2013, Quicksilver Resources Canada Inc. (“QRCI”), a subsidiary of Quicksilver Resources Inc., received written notice from NOVA Gas Transmission Ltd. (“NGTL”) terminating the Project and Expenditure Authorization, dated as of April 6, 2011, between QRCI and NGTL (as amended, the “PEA”), which authorized NGTL to construct a 75‑mile pipeline connecting NGTL’s Alberta system to a meter station to be constructed on QRCI’s acreage in the Horn River Basin in British Columbia (the “Komie North Project”) and a related meter station. NGTL delivered the termination notice because it did not receive the certificate of public convenience and necessity required to develop the Komie North Project as contemplated in the PEA.
The PEA required QRCI to construct a treatment facility and provide financial guarantees to cover NGTL’s costs for the Komie North Project. QRCI has provided C$14 million in letters of credit to support this obligation. NGTL has indicated that it would release the letters of credit in connection with the payment by QRCI of costs incurred by NGTL, which are estimated to be approximately $12.8 million.
The Commitment Letter, dated as of April 6, 2011, between QRCI and NGTL, as amended, pursuant to which QRCI had agreed to deliver gas to the Komie North Project from its properties in the Horn River Basin, also terminated, in accordance with its terms, upon termination of the PEA.
QRCI maintains its ability to sell gas at the Station 2 and AECO hubs, as its current production is served by existing treating facilities and pipelines.
Item 2.04.
