Item 8.01. Other Events
On May 7, 2013, the Arbitration Tribunal issued its ruling under the 1976 UNICITRAL RULES related to the arbitration proceeding between Sky Petroleum, Inc. (the “Registrant”) and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Energy of Albania, acting by and through the National Agency of Natural Resources of Albania arising from the termination of the Production Sharing Contract dated June 24, 2010 (“PSC”). The Arbitration Tribunal ruled that (i) AKBN provided proper notice of the termination of the PSC to the Registrant on July 22, 2011, for the Registrant’s failure to deliver a conforming bank guarantee to AKBN by July 22, 2011, and (ii) the PSC was properly terminated on November 17, 2011. The Arbitration Tribunal condemned the Registrant to reimburse AKBN for total fees and expenses in connection with the Arbitration proceeding in the amount of EUR 382,774.37.
