Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
Harvest Natural Resources, Inc. (the "Company") previously announced that we have begun discussions with PDVSA toward reaching an agreement for an amicable exit from Petrodelta but that there could be no assurance that these discussions would be successful. To date, these intermittent discussions have not led to any offer or terms that would be remotely fair and equitable to Harvest’s shareholders, and PDVSA has been so advised. Again, as previously disclosed, if these discussions do not lead to a fair and equitable solution for our shareholders, Harvest expects to move forward on the arbitration path as previously announced, to the extent that it is legally permissible and that it continues to be in the best interests of our shareholders.
The information in this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, including statements concerning expected developments in Venezuela and our business strategy. All statements other than statements of historical facts may constitute forward-looking statements. Although Harvest believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Actual results may differ materially from Harvest’s expectations as a result of a number of factors, including those discussed in Harvest’s 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K and other public filings.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
