Milan,14 May 2021 - With reference to the litigation concerning the transaction that in 2013 lead to the sale and simultaneous lease of the property at Via Solferino/Via San Marco/Via Balzan (the 'Property'), the Milan Arbitration Chamber has today informed the parties about the final Award ending such litigation.
After the partial award had unanimously declared the Arbitral Tribunal's competence to decide the parties' claims, the final Award, rendered upon the agreement of two arbitrators only and the structured and reaoned dissenting opinion of the third, decided to reject RCS' claims for compensation as well as Kryalos' one.
In particular:
The Company, without prejudice to its disagreement with the decision of the two arbitrators and reserving all rights, highlights that also the reasoning of the decision does not show any unfairness or bad faith by RCS, which instead acted to duly protect the company's assets, harmed by the material difference of the value at which the Property had been sold in 2013.
The final Award, confirming that RCS did not act unfairly or recklessly, strengthens, as the partial one of last year, the position of the Company before the Supreme Court of the State of New York (where the proceedings started by the counterparties are stayed).
