At such time as the conditions of closing are met, and mutually agreeable definitive closing agreements are entered, the transaction shall close and the Company shall thereafter retain and own a 20% shareholding in KKC, which shall act as an incorporated joint venture between the Company and the Investor. KKC will continue to own and operate 100% of the Maloy Refinery.
