Gold Reserve Provides Update on CITGO Sale Process
Article content PEMBROKE, Bermuda — Gold Reserve Ltd. (TSX.V: GRZ) (BSX: (OTCQX: GDRZF) ('Gold Reserve' or the 'Company') announces several developments in the pending legal proceedings in which the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Dalinar Energy Corporation ('Dalinar Energy'), has been recommended by the Special Master to purchase the shares of PDV Holding, Inc. ('PDVH'), the indirect parent company of CITGO Petroleum Corp. The Special Master's Final Recommendation of the Dalinar Energy bid is the subject of a Sale Hearing scheduled to commence before the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (the 'Court') on August 18, 2025. The stated purchase price of the Dalinar Energy bid is $7.382 billion. Article content August 12, 2025 Article content . Article content Red Tree Investments ('Red Tree') submitted a letter to the Court in which, among other things, it disclosed the existence of a competing bid that it said was submitted by Amber Energy 'last weekend'. The Company has not been provided a copy of this bid. The Red Tree letter indicates that the purchase price for this bid is $5.859 billion and also implies that $2.587 billion of claims against PDVSA by the 2020 bondholders would be settled. If this bid is recommended by the Special Master, accepted by the Court, and consummated, its $5.859 billion purchase price would result in the Company recovering nothing on its Attached Judgment in the CITGO Sale Process. A copy of Red Tree's letter can be found here. Article content August 13, 2025 Article content The Special Master filed a response to the Red Tree letter and stated that it made an 'unauthorized disclosure of confidential information regarding a competing proposal.' In consequence, the Special Master requested that the Court adjourn the status conference currently scheduled for today so that 'the Special Master can consider the recent developments' and, after meeting-and-conferring with the parties, file an 'updated proposal to the Court on how to proceed with respect to the status conference and the sale hearing by Thursday, August 14, 2025, at 4:00 p.m.' A copy of the Special Master's response can be found here. Article content The Court granted the Special Master's request and rescheduled the status conference to Friday, August 15, at 10:00 a.m. A copy of the Court's order can be found here. Article content The Company also filed a response to the Red Tree letter in which it stated its views that: (a) the letter was improper for multiple reasons; (b) the letter and the referenced Amber Energy bid did not require any adjournment of the Sale Hearing; (c) the Amber Energy bid, as described in the letter, violated the bidding procedures and protections established by the Court, as well as the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement executed by Dalinar Energy and the Special Master, and as a result this bid would be non-actionable. Specifically, the Company stated its view that the Amber Energy bid, as described in the Red Tree letter, violates the requirement that any unsolicited competing bid must include an overbid minimum above the purchase price of the Company's Final Recommended Bid. The stated purchase price of $5.859 billion for the Amber Energy, as described in the Red Tree letter, is $1.523 billion less than the $7.382 billion value of the Company's Final Recommended Bid. The Company also stated its view that 'the actual price of the Amber Energy bid is $5.859 billion not $8.821 billion, as the Red Tree letter incorrectly states.' A copy of the Company's response can be found here. Article content The Company expects that the foregoing issues will be the subject of communications amongst the parties. The Company also expects that certain parties may not agree with the Company's interpretation of the Red Tree letter or the purported Amber Energy bid, and that any such disputes may require resolution by the Court. Article content A complete description of the Delaware sale proceedings can be found on the Public Access to Court Electronic Records system in Crystallex International Corporation v. Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, 1:17-mc-00151-LPS (D. Del.) and its related proceedings.

Minnesota Twins owners halt team sale and opt to keep the club in the family
The Minnesota Twins are no longer for sale, executive chair Joe Pohlad announced Wednesday on behalf of his family. After exploring a variety of options since publicizing the sale 10 months ago, the Pohlad family will remain the principal owner of the club and add new investors instead. Carl Pohlad, a banking magnate and the late grandfather of Joe Pohlad, purchased the Twins in 1984 for US$44-million. 'For more than four decades, our family has had the privilege of owning the Minnesota Twins. This franchise has become part of our family story, as it has for our employees, our players, this community, and Twins fans everywhere,' Joe Pohlad said in his announcement. 'Over the past several months, we explored a wide range of potential investment and ownership opportunities. Our focus throughout has been on what's best for the long-term future of the Twins. We have been fully open to all possibilities.' Pohlad said the family was in the process of adding two 'significant' limited partnership groups to bring in fresh ideas, bolster critical partnerships and shape the long-term vision of the franchise that relocated to Minnesota in 1961 after originating as the Washington Senators. Details about the new investors were being kept private until Major League Baseball approval of the transactions, Pohlad said. Financial analysis earlier this year by Forbes valued the franchise at US$1.5-billion, ranked 23rd in MLB. Sportico (US$1.7-billion) and CNBC (US$1.65-billion) pegged them higher. The Pohlads hired Allen & Company, a New York-based investment bank, to direct the sale and keep inquiries confidential. Multiple published reports identified Justin Ishbia, a part owner of the NBA's Phoenix Suns, as the front-runner. But the Chicago White Sox announced last month that Ishbia was becoming a limited partner in a deal that provides a runway for him to become controlling owner. MLB commissioner Rob Manfred acknowledged during the All-Star break, without naming him directly, that Ishbia's decision sidetracked the process. 'There will be a transaction,' Manfred said. 'You just need to be patient while they rework.' The Twins are on track for their lowest attendance total in 16 seasons at Target Field, and an ownership-mandated payroll reduction last year in light of decreased regional television revenue, among other factors, has contributed to a dissatisfied customer base. The Twins traded 10 players off their roster leading up to the July 31 deadline, furthering the frustration. Word that the Pohlads are staying put certainly won't help the morale of Minnesota baseball fans, who've been waiting for another World Series title since 1991 and saw the investment in the roster plunge right after an American League Central title in 2023. The Twins won a playoff series then, too, their first in 21 years. 'We see and hear the passion from our partners, the community, and Twins fans. That passion inspires us,' Pohlad said. 'This ownership group is committed to building a winning team and culture for this region, one that Twins fans are proud to cheer for.' The Twins began the season ranked 17th in player payroll at a little more than US$142.8-million, but their trading spree last month lopped about US$26-million from that figure. Shortstop Carlos Correa was sent to the Houston Astros in a pure salary dump that reunited the three-time All-Star with his original team, which inherited US$70-million of the more than US$103-million that remained on his contract. Pohlad, in an interview with the Minnesota Star Tribune published immediately after the announcement, said he understands the bad feelings from the fans and looks forward to helping rebuild the brand and the roster. He said one of the investment groups is made up of Minnesotans and the other is a family based on the East Coast. Pohlad also said the teardown of the roster was not driven by a request from ownership to further cut costs. 'It certainly set us up for more flexibility, but they were primarily baseball decisions,' Pohlad told the Star Tribune.
