Treasury Stock
On September 24, 2012, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had approved a stock repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to a total value of $2.0 million in shares of its common stock. The size and timing of such purchases will be based on market and business conditions as well as other factors. The Company is not obligated to purchase any shares of its common stock. The authorization will expire on August 21, 2014, and purchases under the program can be discontinued at any time. As of June 30, 2013, the Company repurchased 149,539 shares pursuant to this program.
On January 14, 2013, the Company entered into a Collateral Purchase Agreement (the "Collateral Agreement") with Sopak AG, a Swiss subsidiary of Glencore International plc ("Sopak"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase: (i) 9,264,637 shares of the Company's common stock, (ii) a warrant granting Sopak the right to purchase from the Company an additional 4,347,826 shares of common stock, and (iii) a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2009, and amended as of October 14, 2009, and June 23, 2010, between the Company, Young Energy Prize S.A., a Luxembourg corporation ("YEP"), and ECP Fund, SICAV-FIS, a Luxembourg corporation ("ECP"), which is a subsidiary of Yamalco Investments Limited, a Cyprus company ("Yamalco"), for a purchase price of $10.0 million. The Company accounted for the the Purchase Price of $10.0 million by allocating (i) $0.8 million to the fair value of the warrant and (ii) $9.2 million to the purchase of 9,264,637 shares of common stock, resulting in a value per share of $0.993 (refer below). The Collateral Agreement was subsequently amended on January 15, 2013, and completed on January 16, 2013. YEP, ECP, and Yamalco are entities affiliated with Nikolay V. Bogachev, a former director of the Company.
All repurchased common stock shares are currently being held in treasury at cost, including direct issuance cost. The following table summarizes the Company's treasury stock activity for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013:
