MARKET UPDATE
We refer to the Market Announcement (Announcement) provided in
December 2016, in which the market was informed that the English
High Court had granted default judgment in favour of ZCCM-IH in its
claim against Konkola Copper Mines Plc (KCM), brought pursuant to a
Settlement Agreement entered by the parties in 2013, for a sum in
excess of US$100 million.
In the same Announcement, the market was further informed that
the Court had given directions for an inquiry to determine whether
KCM had breached the Settlement Agreement by making payments to
Vedanta Group Com panies whilst sums remained due and owing to
ZCCM-IH, and whether ZCCM-IH would be entitled to recover
additional sums from KCM as a result.
We now advise that ZCCM-IH has successfully brought an
application for summary judgment against KCM for such additional
sums. Granting the claim in full, the Court has awarded ZCCM-IH a
further US$35,991,768, bringing the total amount awarded to
approximately US$139 million. ZCCM-IH was also awarded its costs of
bringing these proceedings.
The parties have agreed a repayment plan for the recovery of
these additional sums, which consists of 21 equal monthly
instalments of US$1,713,893.72, together with interest at 3 per
cent. The final payment is expected on 31 August 2019.
