Stans Energy Obtains Extension of Ontario Court Injunction Against Kyrgyz Republic and Kyrgyzaltyn JSC
Toronto, Ontario (FSCwire) - Stans Energy Corp. (TSX-V: HRE, OTCQX: HREEF), ("Stans" or the "Company") announced today that it has obtained an extension from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (“Court”) of the previously announced injunction (the "Order") which, among other things, prohibits the Kyrgyz Republic and Kyrgyzaltyn JSC ("KJSC") from selling, disposing, exchanging, assigning, transferring, pledging or encumbering 47,000,000 shares (the "Shares") in the capital of Centerra Gold Inc. ("Centerra") registered in the name of KJSC, subject to certain exceptions. The Order also prohibits Centerra and its transfer agent from issuing share certificates in respect of the Shares.
The order will remain in effect until the Court decides the application for recognition and enforcement of the Award.
“Stans’ legal team is now preparing for award enforcement in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. The company will be seeking the full amount of the award of the Moscow Chamber of Commerce and Industry,” states Rodney Irwin, Interim-President and CEO.
The Court noted that Stans has established a strong prima facie case that its award should be recognized in Ontario and that the Republic of Kyrgyzstan has an equitable interest in the Centerra shares held in the name of Kyrgyzsaltan that may be seized in Ontario
Stans obtained the extension of the Order in a proceeding for recognition and enforcement of an arbitration award of the Moscow Chamber of Commerce & Industry against Kyrgyz Republic for US$118,206,058.04 (the "Award"). The Kyrgyz Republic has refused or failed to pay the Award.
There can be no assurance that the Order will remain in effect or that Stans will ultimately be successful in obtaining an order for recognition and enforcement of the Award in Ontario. KJSC can apply to have the injunction varied on 10 days notice.
