Item 8.01 Other Events.
As previously disclosed, Trecora Resources (the "Company") has entered into a Share Sale and Purchase Agreement, dated September 22, 2019 (as amended, the "Purchase Agreement"), among the Company, Al Masane Al Kobra Mining Company, a Saudi Arabian closed joint stock company ("AMAK"), and certain other existing shareholders of AMAK (collectively, the "Purchasers") pursuant to which the Company agreed to sells its 33.3% equity interest in AMAK to the Purchasers (the "Share Sale"). The Company has completed one closing of the Share Sale with respect to 4,000,000 ordinary shares of AMAK.
On July 28, 2020, the Company reduced its equity ownership interest in AMAK from 28.3% to 27.0% through the partial closing of the Share Sale by completing the sale of 975,000 shares to one of the Purchasers under the Purchase Agreement for an aggregate purchase price of SAR 9.75 million (approximately US$2.60 million). This aggregate purchase price reflects the payment of approximately US$2.53 million received on July 28, 2020, and the application of 50% of the deposit related to these shares previously paid to the Company which was not otherwise forfeited by the Purchaser. The Company continues to hold a remaining portion of 25,000 shares that are allocated to this Purchaser as part of the Share Sale.
A copy of the press release announcing this partial closing of the Share Sale is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
