Unión Transitoria de Empresas, Isolux Ingeniería S.A., Tecna Proyectos y Operaciones S.A. e Isolux Ingeniería S.A. – Tecna Proyectos y Operaciones S.A. Unión Temporal de Empresas (the “Contractors”), raised under CTLL’s expansion project to combined cycle before the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC’s Arbitral Tribunal”), as it was duly informed on dates of December 2, 2011, December 29, 2011 and April 5, 2013.
In particular, the award issued by the ICC’s Arbitral Tribunal acknowledged certain contractual breaches committed by the Contractors, granting CTLL a compensation for damages in the amount of US$49.3 million.
The pending amount due from Contractors has been narrowed to US$15.1 million as it has been offset certain reciprocal credits and debits between both parties. The breakdown of the pending amount due is as follows:
- i. US$10.7 million of capital (which will accrue an interest of 8% per annum until its full payment);
- ii. US$2.7 million of interest; and
- iii. US$1.6 million in arbitration and legal costs.
Finally, given the extent of the award and in case of being necessary, CTLL could complement to the already disclosed information once we have analyzed its details and scope.
