An additional 12 million US dollars has been lodged with the Ethiopian government to be held on account until Agriterra finalizes any tax that is related to this transaction. The tax is expected to be an estimated 30% of the net gain realized after deducting all attributable costs incurred by Agriterra in relation with developing the block in the past.
