Reference is made to Aqua Bio Technology ASA’s stock exchange release on 10 March 2020 regarding the outcome of a legal dispute in Sweden. The Helsingborg District Court ruled that a NOK 12.2 million claim against ABT by the Swedish company Zona Nordic was without merit. Zona Nordic has not appealed the judgment, hence the District Court’s decision is final.The District Court found that ABT had violated a delivery commitment in 2015. However, the NOK 12.2 million claim was deemed unsubstantiated. The court set the compensation to be paid by ABT at approximately NOK 350,000, while also finding that Zona Nordic shall compensate 50 per cent of ABT’s legal costs, representing a payment to ABT of approximately NOK 600,000.For further information, please contact acting CEO Espen Kvale, telephone +47 9162 8092.

Det vises til Aqua Bio Technology ASAs børsmelding 10. mars 2020 om utfallet av en rettstvist i Sverige. Helsingborgs tingsrätt avgjorde at et krav på 12,2 millioner kroner mot ABT fra det svenske selskapet Zona Nordic var uten grunnlag. Zona Nordic har ikke anket dommen, som dermed er rettskraftig.Tingretten fant at ABT hadde brutt en leveranseforpliktelse i 2015. Imidlertid fant retten kravet på 12,2 millioner kroner grunnløst. Retten fastsatte erstatningsbeløpet ABT skal betale til om lag 350.000 kroner. Samtidig besluttet retten at Zona Nordic skal dekke 50 prosent av ABTs sakskostnader, noe som innebærer en utbetaling til ABT på om lag 600.000 kroner.Nærmere opplysninger ved kst. adm. direktør Espen Kvale, telefon 9162 8092.Denne opplysningen er informasjonspliktig etter verdipapirhandelloven §5-12
