The parties to the arbitration have reached an agreement on settlement of the claims that remain unpaid, which includes interest and certain costs, whereby USD 68 million ("Settlement Sum") shall be paid to MHWirth AS as full and final settlement. Payment of the Settlement Sum shall be made within Q2 and comes in addition to the amount mentioned in Akastor's announcement dated 26 April 2024.
