On or about January 24, 2008, the Company received a Resolution of the Chief of the 1st Department of the General Prosecutors Office of Kazakhstan, senior advisor of justice Mr. Kravchenko A.N., dated January 14, 2008, wherein it was advised that the General Prosecutors Office had determined there were elements of criminal fraud, as defined in the Republic of Kazakhstan Criminal Code, in the actions of the former participants of KoZhaN LLP and their spouses in seeking to invalidate the 2003 Sale and Purchase Agreement dated August 11, 2003 (the SPA) under which BSEK acquired a 90% participatory interest in Kozhan LLP. Pursuant to certain statutory authority, the General Prosecutors Office decided:
1. | To open criminal case on the fact of fraud under item B part 3 of Article 177 of the RK Criminal Code, by the former participants of Kozhan LLP by virtue of applying to the court, via their spouses, with a request to invalidate the transaction whereby BSEK acquired 90% participatory interest in Kozhan LLP, and by arguing that their spouses did not consent to the sale of the participatory interests. |
2. | To send this criminal case to the Committee of National Security of Kazakhstan for conduction of preliminary investigation. |
3. | To notify all parties concerned that it had taken this decision. |
It is managements understanding that the investigation of the Committee of National Security for Kazakhstan is ongoing.
On February 8, 2008, the Company received the written decision of the Supervisory Collegium of the Supreme Court subsequent to its hearing held on January 30, 2008. The hearing concerned the Protest of the General Prosecutor in respect of the claim filed by Faskhutdinova R.G., Faskhutdinov R.Y.A, Faizullayeva ZH., Seidagaliev SH., Tulegenova B., Mukashev, B.R., Kachapov T., Asanova T., Baikenov U., against Big Sky Energy Kazakhstan Ltd.; Department of Justice in the City of Almaty, Notary Kanadanova, to invalidate the agreement for purchase and sale of the interests in KoZhaN LLP, the Extraordinary Meeting of the LLP and other relief, under Article 398 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
The Court dismissed the General Prosecutors Protest and upheld the decision of April 26, 2007, made by the Bostandyk District Court No.2 and the decision of October 30, 2007, made by the Civil Collegium of Almaty City Court. The Company and BSEK have been informed by its legal counsel in Kazakhstan that it is their belief that grounds for an appeal of the Courts decision by the General Prosecutors office to the Plenum of the Supreme Court exist. The Company intends to progress this matter with the Office of the General Prosecutor.
The Company is proceeding with the International Chamber of Commerce arbitration proceedings commenced on 25 September 2007 under the terms of the SPA.
