Update Regarding Cayman Grand Court Action

 

Frontera Resources Corporation (AIM: FRR), the European-focused oil and gas exploration and production company, provides the following update further to its announcements of 12 October 2018 and 15 October 2018.

 

As previously announced, on 11 October 2018 Frontera Resources Corporation ("FRC") and its fully-owned subsidiary, Frontera International Corporation ("FIC"), commenced an action (the "Action") in the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands ("Grand Court") with respect to Mr Stephen Hope and Outrider Master Fund, L.P. ("OMF").

 

On 19 November 2018, in accordance with applicable procedures, the FRC and FIC (collectively, the "Company") filed with the Grand Court their Statement of Claim in the Action.  In the Statement of Claim, the Company states that defendant Mr Hope is in breach of his fiduciary duties as a director of FRC and these breaches include, inter alia, attempting to deprive the Company of assets for his own benefit and/or for the benefit of OMF, failing to act in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, failing to exercise independent judgement, and unlawful interference with the business of the Company.  The Statement of Claim alleges that OMF conspired with Mr Hope in relation to the above matters.  The Company claims damages against Mr Hope and OMF in the aggregate amount of US$56,287,800.     

 

The Grand Court has ordered that Mr Hope and OMF should file their defense to the Company's Statement of Claim by 18 December 2018.  The Grand Court also gave directions in relation to the application by Mr Hope and OMF to discharge the previously granted injunction; a hearing to deal with that application is expected to take place in December. 

 

The Company intends to continue to vigorously assert its rights in the Action and will provide further updates as they become available.

  

This announcement contains inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of EU Regulation 596/2014.
