ITEM 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 6, 2012, Blue Dolphin Exploration Company (“BDEX”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Blue Dolphin Energy Company ("Blue Dolphin"), entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Blue Sky Langsa Limited (“Blue Sky”) whereby Blue Sky agreed to purchase BDEX’s 7% undivided interest in the North Sumatra Basin – Langsa Field offshore Indonesia (the “Indonesian Interest”). Based on the SPA, which is effective October 31, 2012, Blue Sky will acquire the Indonesian Interest for: (i) $800,000 if transaction closing occurs in December 2012 or (ii) $1.0 million if transaction closing occurs in February 2013. In connection with the SPA, Blue Sky will place 150,000 shares of Blue Dolphin common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”),in an escrow account (the “Escrowed Shares”) to secure its obligations under the SPA. In the event Blue Sky fails to pay the cash consideration in either December 2012 or February 2013, closing shall nevertheless be deemed to have occurred under the SPA and the Escrowed Shares will be delivered to BDEX as full consideration for the Indonesian Interest.
BDEX acquired the Indonesian Interest in June 2010 in a non-cash transaction. BDEX’s consideration was 342,857 shares of Common Stock. If Blue Sky does not meet its obligations under the SPA, Blue Dolphin will reacquire 150,000 shares of its original consideration paid for the Indonesian Interest.
