| Litigation description | <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><font style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif">On April 15, 2015, the ICC Arbitration Tribunal rendered its Partial Final Award in the pending arbitration proceedings which declared that the November 9, 2003 sale of 100% of the stock of Hycarbex is void <i>ab initio</i> and of no legal effect on account of the fraud and misrepresentations of Hycarbex, Hydro-Tur and Hycarbex-Asia, thereby returning the Company to its 100% ownership position of the common stock of Hycarbex. In connection with its findings, the ICC Arbitration Tribunal ordered that the register of shareholders for Hycarbex be corrected to reflect the Company as the owner of 100% of the common stock, that Hycarbex and Hycarbex-Asia take any and all steps necessary to effect the rectification of the register of shareholders of Hycarbex to reflect the Company as the owner of 100% of the common stock, and that Hycarbex and Hycarbex-Asia bear all costs of the arbitration proceedings, including the Company’s legal costs, which costs and fees are to be fixed by the ICC Arbitration Tribunal in a subsequent award after submission of the total costs and fees by AEGG. The ICC Arbitration Tribunal dismissed Hydro-Tur’s application for costs. The April 15 Award made moot certain of the pending actions in Pakistan due to the recovery of ownership of 100% of the stock of Hycarbex.</font></p> | |||||
