According to a press release on Nival's official site, the company's founder Sergey Orlovskiy has signed an agreement with Ener1 Group that returns Nival under his control, followed by an impending closure of the Los Angeles office and return of the Nival headquarters to Moscow.

Ener1 previously announced its acquisition of Nival on April 6, 2005, a week after the official announcement of Heroes V and Nival's involvement in it.
