Leaf Clean Energy Company
Update on Invenergy Judgement
This announcement provides an update to the Company's 20 April
2018 announcement.
On June 14, 2018, the Delaware Court of Chancery entered its
final order and judgment in Leaf Invenergy Company, LLC v.
Invenergy Wind LLC, C.A. No. 1830-VCL, awarding Leaf nominal
damages of $1 as a result of Invenergy Wind LLC's ("Invenergy")
breach of the parties' Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability
Company Agreement ("Operating Agreement") by engaging in a defined
"Material Partial Sale" without either obtaining Leaf's consent or
paying Leaf a contractually defined return on its investment. The
trial court's final order also entered judgment in Leaf's favor on
Invenergy's counterclaim seeking a declaration that Leaf had
breached certain provisions governing Leaf's ability to put its
shares, and Invenergy's ability to call those shares, thereby
establishing the redemption price to be paid to Leaf in connection
with that put/call process at US$50,669,000. The final order and
judgment contemplates that, in the event Leaf appeals the trial
court's award of nominal damages in its final order and judgment,
Invenergy intends to cross-appeal the trial court's determination
with respect to its counterclaim and therefore would be obligated
to pay Leaf US $36,432,000, representing an amount that Invenergy
does not contest is owed to Leaf, within 5 business days of Leaf's
notice of appeal and that the remainder of the redemption price
would be paid into an interest bearing account controlled by the
trial court to be distributed following, and depending on, the
appeal.
Also on June 14, 2018, following entry of the trial court's
final order and judgment, Leaf filed its notice of appeal to the
Delaware Supreme Court. It is anticipated that, consistent with the
trial court's final order and judgment, Invenergy will file a
notice of cross-appeal. As a result of Leaf's filing of its notice
of appeal, Invenergy is obligated to pay Leaf US$36,432,000 on or
before June 21, 2018.
Following receipt of this payment from Invenergy, the Leaf Board
plans to announce a compulsory redemption of shares with details to
be provided at that time."
