Gold Reserve Ltd., through its subsidiary Dalinar Energy Corporation, is involved in ongoing legal proceedings regarding the purchase of shares in PDV Holding, Inc., the indirect parent company of CITGO Petroleum Corp. The U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware has scheduled a Sale Hearing for August 18, 2025, to discuss the Special Master's recommendation of Dalinar Energy's $7.382 billion bid. A competing bid from Amber Energy, valued at $5.859 billion, has been contested by Gold Reserve on the grounds that it violates bidding procedures by not meeting the overbid minimum requirement. Additionally, the Special Master has alleged an unauthorized disclosure of confidential information related to the Amber Energy bid and has requested an adjournment of the status conference to consider recent developments. The Court has rescheduled the status conference to August 15, 2025.
