The decision was taken at the end of the four -day hearing in which Venezuela’s creditors asked the judge to advance with the auction granting key agreements with Amber Energy
Judge Leonard Stark, from a Delaware Court, the United States, allowed last Thursday, September 18 to an Elliott Management subsidiary moved towards closing its offer for Citgo’s actions in the auction ordered by a court, and prevented its rival, Gold to reserve, do the same.
A note published by the news agency Reutersquoting a statement from Gold Reserve, Judge Stark ordered the official to supervise the auction to terminate a sharing agreement with a Gold Reserve subsidiary, and sign a new document with Elliot’s subsidiary, Amber Energy.
The decision was taken at the end of the four -day hearing in which Venezuela’s creditors asked the judge to advance with the auction granting key agreements with Amber Energy.
“The sharing sales contract establishes the terms for the sale and transfer of the shares of a company. In an auction, this contract is a key step for the main investor to obtain financial commitments and complete the regulatory procedures for the transfer of the shares,” he said Reuters
Amber’s offer includes, in addition to 5.9 billion dollars for the shares, an agreement apart from 2.1 billion dollars to pay the PDVSA 2020 bonus holders, so the Delaware Court has recommended it as the best offer. The proposal of the Gold Reserve, Dalinar, did not include this clause, says Reuters.

Judge Stark still does not issue a definitive decision about the winner of the auction. However, this Thursday also denied a motion of Gold Reserve to disqualify Amber’s offer, according to La Minera in a statement.
For its part, the Southern District Court of New York, United States, declared validity according to the Venezuelan laws of the PDVSA 2020 bonds, which are guaranteed 50.1 % of Citgo’s shares.
«In October 2020, this Court determined that the New York Law ruled the validity of the bonds and granted a summary sentence in favor of the defendants MUFG Union Bank, Na (“ MUFG »), the Trust of the Bonds of 2020, and Glas Americas LLC (“ Glas ”), the guarantee agent of the bonds of 2020. After several additional years of the Court of Litigation, the Court of Little In New York determined that the Venezuelan law, instead of the New York Law, governed the validity of the 2020 bonds. Consequently, the second circuit returned the action to this court, ”says the text shared by economist José Guerra in his Instagram account.
