OUTOTEC OYJ PRESS RELEASE SEPTEMBER 27, 2013 at 3:30 PM
Outotec and Sarda Energy and Minerals Ltd. enter into legal dispute over
contractual obligations in a filter delivery
Indian based steel producer Sarda Energy and Minerals Ltd. (SEML) has submitted
application for arbitration at the International Court of Arbitration against
Outotec in a dispute regarding a filter delivery. The company claims
compensation of approximately EUR 18 million from Outotec for loss of profit.
Outotec finds these allegations to be completely without merit.
Larox Oyj (acquired by Outotec in 2010) agreed with Sarda Energy and Minerals
Ltd. on the delivery of a pressure filter with related spare parts for SEML's
iron ore pellet plant in 2007. The contract value was approximately EUR 0.6
million. SEML claims that Larox has not fulfilled its contractual obligations.
Larox has delivered the equipment and received delivery acceptance from the
customer in 2009.
Nina Kiviranta, General Counsel: "These claims against Outotec are unfounded and
we will defend our rights."
The arbitration is not expected to have an impact on Outotec's financial
guidance for 2013.
