Item
8.01. Other Events.
GeoGlobal
Resources Inc. has been advised by Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation Limited.
(“GSPC”), the operator of the KG-OSN-2001/3 (the “KG Offshore Block”) in which
the Company has a net 5% participating interest, that GSPC is seeking payment
of
the amount by which the sums expended by GSPC on behalf of the Company
(including the net 5% participating interest of Roy Group Mauritius) under
Phase
I of the work program set forth in the Production Sharing Contract for the
KG
Offshore Block dated February 4, 2003 (“PSC”) in carrying out exploration
activities on the block, exceeds the amount that GSPC deems to be payable by
GSPC pursuant to the Carried Interest Agreement between GSPC and the Company
dated August 27, 2002 (“CIA”). GSPC asserts that the Company is
required to pay 10% of the exploration expenses over and above US$59.23
million. GSPC asserts that this amount payable is US$44.68 million
including interest of US$ 4.43 million as of June 30, 2007.
The
Company has advised GSPC that, under the terms of the CIA, the PSC, and the
Joint Operating Agreement dated August 7, 2003 (the “JOA”), GSPC has no right to
seek the payment and that it believes the payment GSPC is seeking is in breach
of the Carried Interest Agreement. The Company further reminded GSPC,
that the Company under the terms of the CIA, shall be carried by GSPC for 100%
of all of its share of any costs during the exploration phase prior to the
start
of commercial production. In support of the Company’s legal position,
the Company has obtained the opinion of prominent Indian legal
counsel.
The
Company intends to vigorously protect its contractual rights in accordance
with
the dispute resolution process under the CIA, the PSC and the JOA as may be
appropriate. The Company is currently having discussions with GSPC in
an effort to reach an amicable resolution.
