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.
