Item 8.01 Other Events
We have been advised by Yorktown Energy Partners VI, L.P., an investor for the last seven years, that it has distributed 750,000 shares (less than 3% of the outstanding shares) of Hallador common stock to its limited and general partners, effective after the close of the stock market on August 13, 2013. After the distribution, Yorktown Energy Partners VI, L.P. along with Yorktown Energy Partners VII, L.P. and Yorktown Energy Partners VIII, L.P. (“Yorktown”) will collectively hold 9.7 million shares of Hallador common stock representing 34% of total shares outstanding.
Hallador has been informed by Yorktown that they have not made any determination as to the disposition of their remaining Hallador stock.
Including this distribution Yorktown has distributed a total of 6 million shares since May 2011. While we do not know Yorktown’s ultimate strategy to realize the value of their Hallador investment for their partners, we expect that over time distributions such as this will improve our liquidity and float.
SIGNATURE
