BAMES settlement agreement
London, 19 March 2019 - Telit Communications PLC ("Telit", "the Group", AIM: TCM), a global enabler of the Internet of Things (IoT), has reached a settlement on the legal proceedings regarding the Group and Bartolini After Market Electronic Services Srl ("BAMES").
Telit reached a settlement agreement approved by the court according to which it will pay, without any admission of liability and against a waiver from the administrators of BAMES of all claims against Telit in this respect, an amount of €840,000 plus approximately €21,000 of legal costs. This agreement has been entered into by Telit in order to bring certainty and closure to the matter between the Group and the administrators of BAMES.

In 2016, Telit became aware of a criminal investigation against a number of parties with respect to BAMES' insolvency including Telit's former CEO. In July 2018, Telit was informed that the administrators to BAMES had taken steps to bring a civil claim against Telit regarding its involvement with BAMES.
