RE: $639m is total claim £503m awarded.27 Dec 2024 08:42
I read that the decision was for $503 but the directors comment mentioned claims totalling $639
From the RNS:
Decision
On December 23, 2024, the ICSID Arbitral Tribunal issued a decision in connection with the Respondent's request to address objections to jurisdiction as a preliminary question ("Bifurcation").
The Respondent's request for Bifurcation was fully rejected in very severe terms by the ICSID Arbitral Tribunal.
The Arbitral Tribunal's Decision has dismissed the Respondent's application in its entirety and has reserved all other matters, including those relating to costs, for a subsequent order, decision or award.
The Decision has also ordered the Claimants and Respondent to consult and agree on a shorter procedural timetable and to communicate this to the Tribunal no later than January 20, 2025.
For background, the ICSID Arbitration was initiated by the Claimants in June 2023 following the Republic of Tunisia's failure to comply with the terms of the Investment Treaty BIT United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland - Tunisia signed in 1989.
The amount claimed for the ICSID Arbitration, determined by a panel of international quantum experts appointed by the Company, is for a total principal amount of US$503 million.
This should have a serious rerate. But it may be a quiet Friday considering the date.
Expect to see big moves next week.
Do your own research.
Good luck holders.
