Explanatory Note:

 

The following constitutes Amendment No. 1 to the joint filing on Schedule 13D by Glencore International plc (“Glencore plc”), Glencore International AG (“Glencore International”), Glencore AG and Sopak AG (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”) originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 28, 2012 (the “Schedule 13D”). This Amendment No. 1 is the final amendment to the Schedule 13D and is an exit filing for the Reporting Persons. Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Schedule 13D, and unless amended or supplemented hereby, all information previously filed remains in effect.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

 

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

The Reporting Persons obtained beneficial ownership of the Pledged Shares following the occurrence of the events and actions described in Item 3. On January 14, 2013, in a private transaction, Sopak AG entered into a Collateral Purchase Agreement with the Issuer whereby Sopak AG sold, assigned, transferred and delivered to the Issuer all of Sopak AG’s right, title and interest in and to the Pledged Shares (including the Warrant) and the Registration Rights Agreement for a total purchase price of $10,000,000. On January 15, 2013, the parties amended the Collateral Purchase Agreement to modify Sopak AG’s indemnification obligations thereunder. The proceeds of sale will be applied in accordance with the Pledge Agreement, including for the account of Yamalco to reduce the amount owed to Sopak AG under the Loan Agreement. The foregoing description of the Collateral Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the agreement, which is filed with this Schedule 13D as Exhibits 15 and 16 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Subject to the foregoing, none of the Reporting Persons, nor, to the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, any of the Schedule 1 Persons has any present plan or proposal which relates to or would result in any of the actions or events enumerated in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

(a) None of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock.

 

(b) None of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to share the power to vote or to direct the vote and dispose or direct the disposition of any shares of Common Stock.

 

(c) Except as set forth in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, any of the Schedule 1 Persons, has beneficial ownership of, or has engaged in any transaction during the past 60 days, in any shares of Common Stock.

 

(d) None.

 

(e) On January 14, 2013, each of the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Issuer’s outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Item 6 Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

 

Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

Except as set forth in Items 3 and 4 of this Schedule 13D, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the persons named in Item 2 or between such persons and any other person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including but not limited to, transfer or voting of any of the securities of the Issuer, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies, or a pledge or contingency the occurrence of which would give another person voting power over the securities of the Issuer.

Item 7 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

Exhibit No.
