Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 8, 2011, Xi’an Baorun Industrial Development Co., Ltd. (“Xi’an Baorun”), the variable interest entity and deemed subsidiary through certain contractual relationships of China Integrated Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), received a written notice dated April 6, 2011 (the “Termination Notice”) from Shaanxi Highway Services Co., Ltd. (the “Shaanxi Highway Department”) notifying Xi’an Baorun that the Shaanxi Highway Department is terminating the Gas Station Leasing and Operation Agreement dated May 20, 2008 (the “Agreement”) between Xi’an Baorun and the Shaanxi Highway Department, pursuant to which four gas stations are leased to Xi’an Baorun by the Shaanxi Highway Department. The Shaanxi Highway Department has recalled all of the 32 gas stations that are currently being leased by the Shaanxi Highway Department to third parties, including the four gas stations operated by Xi’an Baorun. This reduces the total number of gas stations leased by Xi’an Baorun from thirteen to nine.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Xi’an Baorun made annual lease payments for each of the four gas stations of approximately $437,000 (RMB 3,000,000) which were required to be made in advance in five-year increments. The first five-year aggregate lease payment of $8,747,631 (RMB 60,000,000) has been paid by the Company to the Shaanxi Highway Department. Pursuant to the Termination Notice, the Agreement will be terminated as of the date of the Termination Notice and the remaining lease term will not be fulfilled. The Company has been advised by the Shaanxi Highway Department to cease all operations at the four gas stations and to complete the transition of the operations of the gas stations to the Shaanxi Highway Department prior to April 15, 2011. Each gas station will be inspected by the Shaanxi Highway Department, and upon its approval, the Company will receive the pro rated portion of the prepaid lease payment for the remaining terminated lease term by April 30, 2011. The Company expects the aggregate returned amount to be approximately RMB26,000,000 (U.S. $3,970,496).
On April 20, 2011, the Company issued a press release relating to the termination of the four gas stations. A copy of the press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
