Reservoir Capital Corp. Update on Nigerian Dispute

Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Public Companies.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — (CSE: REO) – Reservoir Capital Corp. (“REO” or the “Company“) would like to provide an update on the ongoing dispute with a Nigerian shareholder (see the news release filed on the Company’s SEDAR profile on May 7, 2021 for further details on the dispute and related litigation). As a result of this dispute, the Company has suffered partial payment of dividends from Nigerian hydro company Mainstream Energy Solutions Ltd (“MESL”) from late 2020 until the present. Of the Company’s $4,850,621 in combined dividend income in 2020 and 2021, $2,450,600 has been withheld and accrued as a result of the dispute. The Company has received assurance from representatives of the disputing Nigerian shareholder that (i) litigation filed in Nigerian court will be dropped, and (ii) that all dividends due to the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary KPHL from MESL will be released, in line with any agreed terms of settlement, upon confirmation that the cease trade order under which Company has been operating since August 4, 2021 has been revoked.

The cease trade order from the British Columbia Securities Commission and the Ontario Securities Commission was issued for failure to file financial statements and other continuous disclosure documentation. Having recently filed audited financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2020, interim financial statements for periods up to September 30, 2021 and other relevant continuous documentations on SEDAR, the Company believes it is making good progress in meeting the criteria necessary to be issued a revocation of the cease trade order, and by extension, resolving the Nigerian shareholder dispute and receiving the balance of dividend payments being withheld from the Company.
