Section 8 – Other Events
Item 8.01. Other Events
On September 10, 2010, NYTEX Energy Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), received service of process of a lawsuit filed on behalf of certain persons (“Plaintiffs”), relating to 75.0% of certain producing oil and gas leaseholds in the Texas panhandle consisting of 10 producing wells on 320 acres (the “Panhandle Property”). On August 1, 2009, NYTEX Petroleum, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“NYTEX Petroleum”), acquired and assumed operations of the Panhandle Property. The Plaintiffs allege that NYTEX Petroleum did not engage in a single well re-completion (refrac) operation as required by the purchase document between Plaintiffs and NYTEX Petroleum (the “Purchase Document”). As a result of this alleged lack of performance, Plaintiffs believe they are entitled to pursue repurchase of the Panhandle Property in accordance with a buyback provision set forth in the Purchase Document. The Company believes that NYTEX Petroleum has performed as required, that this lawsuit is wholly without merit, is frivolous, and intends to vigorously defend itself in this action.
