VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 05, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (CSE: REO) - Reservoir Capital Corp. (CSE: REO) ("REO" or the "Company") announces that an offshore subsidiary of the Company, Kainji Power Holdings Limited (“KPHL”), was informed recently of a lawsuit filed in Nigeria against the Company, its subsidiaries and Executive Chairman, by shareholder Mr. M.S. Bello. In May 2019, Mr. Bello, a Nigerian Citizen, acquired approximately 7% of the Company’s then outstanding shares as consideration for the Company indirectly acquiring 3.5 million shares of Nigerian hydro company Mainstream Energy Solutions Ltd (“MESL”) from Mr. Bello pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement dated April 25, 2019 (see the news release filed on the Company's SEDAR profile on May 7, 2019 for further details) (the "Transaction"). Mr. Bello is seeking a reversal of the Transaction and outright return of the 3.5 million MESL shares (out of REO’s total holding of approximately 20 million MESL shares).
The lawsuit has resulted in an interim court injunction ordering the suspension of part of the dividend payments due from MESL to KPHL pending a hearing anticipated to occur on February 22, 2021. The Company and selected other defendants have appointed A.K.Talabi & Co as its attorney to represent them in this suit and seek to strike the case from the Nigerian courts, which it considers to be baseless and without merit and inappropriate to be heard outside of Canada. Until this dispute is resolved, the Company may suffer delayed or partial payments of dividends from MESL.
