Sky Solar Holdings, Ltd. Announces Recent Developments Regarding the Hudson Dispute
HONG KONG, July 16, 2020 -- Sky Solar Holdings, Ltd. (NASDAQ: SKYS) ("Sky Solar" or the "Company"), a global developer, owner and operator of solar parks, today announced that it has filed opposition paper in the Supreme Court of the State of New York (the “Court”) against Hudson Solar Cayman, LP (“Hudson”) with respect to the Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement dated July 15, 2016 (the “Note Purchase Agreement”). On May 26, 2020, Hudson filed an action (the “May 2020 Action”) in the Court seeking summary judgment in lieu of a complaint related to the Note Purchase Agreement against the Company and certain of its subsidiaries.
The Company has contested the validity of Hudson’s claims and strongly denied all relevant claims alleged by Hudson. The Company intends to defend vigorously against the May 2020 Action, Hudson’s related enforcement actions and other related proceedings to minimize the interruptions on its business and operations. The Company has claimed, among other things, that Hudson failed to implement the transactions contemplated by the Settlement Agreement signed by the Company and Hudson in November 2019 (“Settlement Agreement”) in good faith and that Hudson entered into the Settlement Agreement in bad faith and with no real intention of compromising the disputes between the parties in accordance with the terms thereof.
