Item 1.03 Bankruptcy or Receivership.

As previously reported, on December 16, 2011, Amber Resources Company of Colorado (the “Company”), its major shareholder, Par Petroleum Corporation (formerly known as Delta Petroleum Corporation) (“Par”), and certain of Par’s other subsidiaries (collectively, the Company, Par and such other subsidiaries, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Debtors’ chapter 11 cases were consolidated for the purpose of joint administration under the caption In re Delta Petroleum Corporation, et al., Case No. 11-14006 (KJC). On August 16, 2012, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the Third Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of Delta Petroleum Corporation and Its Debtor Affiliates dated August 13, 2012 (as confirmed, the “Plan”). On August 31, 2012 (the “Effective Date”), the Debtors consummated their reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code and the Plan became effective.

Pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date, the legal, equitable and contractual rights of each holder of shares of the Company’s common stock were extinguished, canceled and discharged and such stockholders did not receive any distribution or consideration in connection with such shares. The Company will file a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to suspend its reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Subsequent to this filing, Par will dissolve each of its non-operating subsidiaries, including the Company, pursuant to the Plan.
