Toronto, Ontario (FSCwire) - Stans Energy Corp. ("Stans" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a litigation finance agreement to obtain incremental funding of Stans' legal costs, including related corporate overhead costs, to continue with the international arbitration proceedings against the Republic of Kyrgyzstan (the "Defendant") on a non-recourse basis. (As Stans previously reported, it obtained initial funding for the proceedings in May 2015.)

Stans will continue to have complete control over the conduct of the international arbitration proceedings, insofar as the proceedings relate to the Company's claims, and continues to have the right to settle with the parties, discontinue proceedings, pursue the proceedings to a final determination and take any action Stans considers appropriate to enforce judgment. 

Under the terms of the privileged litigation funding agreement, the Company has given certain warranties and covenants to the funder.  In consideration for the provision of arbitration financing, Stans has agreed to pay to the funder a portion of any final settlement of the arbitration claim against the Defendant (the “Funder’s Fee”).  The Funder’s Fee shall only become payable upon a final settlement of the arbitration claim and the value of the Funder’s Fee is dependent upon a number of variables including the value of any settlement and the length of time taken to reach a settlement.  The agreement also provides that the amount of the Funder’s Fee shall not exceed the amount of the aggregate proceeds of the arbitration claim under any circumstances.

Resignation of VP of Corporate Development

The company also wishes to report that David Vinokurov, Vice President of Corporate Development has resigned from his position with the Company.  Management wishes to thank Mr. Vinokurov for his dedicated and professional service in his 7years with the company and wishes him much success in his future endeavours.
