Well this is good…
One million dollars into the company coffers.
A minimum of 50% apparently stays in the company the other half will probably pay some liens. Just a guess there.
This should guarantee the company will meet all financial requirements in the upcoming future.
And hopefully implement some marketing strategies now that they have some cash on hand.

On November 19, 2020, Cooperative Energy filed a Complaint with the Special Court of Eminent Domain, Hancock County, Mississippi seeking an Order authorizing the Cooperative to enter onto the Property for the purpose of examinations and surveys. The matters sought in the Complaint were quickly resolved by agreement of the parties. The Company’s understanding and MGC’s understanding was that the case would be dismissed, but the case was not dismissed. On May 24, 2023, Cooperative Energy filed a Complaint for Eminent Domain in the Special Court of Eminent Domain, Hancock County, Mississippi in which it named MGC and all persons and entities holding liens on the Diamondhead, Mississippi Property as defendants. On July 28, 2023, Cooperative Energy filed a First Amended Complaint for Eminent Domain.

On or about July 3, 2023, Cooperative Energy agreed to the amount conditioned on agreement of the other defendants in the case.
