The Company and CL17 also confirm that €170,000 has been paid to Sipiem's Receiver to complete the acquisition by CL17 of the Receiver's right to receive 30% of any further sums collected in connection with the claim (net of legal fees). Furthermore, the Receiver has released the €30,000 which was held in an escrow account as part of the initial claim purchase agreement (as first announced on 10 September 2019). The Company would reiterate that despite its receipt in full, the €700,000 settlement remains subject to formal approval by the Venice Court of Appeal. The interested parties have already filed a joint application with that Court for this purpose. Francesco Gardin, Executive Chairman of QBT, commented: "We are very satisfied to have concluded this double negotiation with certain defendants and the Receiver. It is a tangible result which provides us with further strength to pursue the remaining judgment amount (€5.575 million plus interest and adjustment for inflation) from the remaining Sipiem defendants, without having to split any future recovered sum with any other party."
