15 Dec 2017material agreement termination▼ BadMajor

Hyperdynamics told shareholders that under the 2 November 2017 stock purchase agreement, CLNG Limited (Hong Kong) or an affiliate would buy 40,000,000 shares at $0.15 ($6,000,000), about 53% of the common stock, and that three directors (Elliston, Strange, Zeidman) would be replaced after closing. Closing was due by 1 December 2017 but depended on due diligence, a waiver from Series A preferred holders, and reductions in current liabilities. CLNG said it intends to borrow the purchase money with no terms agreed. This is the rescue deal that the later record shows fell through in December 2017.
