LONDON (dpa-AFX) - Inmarsat plc (ISAT.L), a provider of mobile satellite communications services, confirmed Monday that it has entered into a $50.75 million settlement agreement with RigNet, Inc. (RNET).
The amount will be paid by RigNet to Inmarsat as full and final settlement of all claims in respect of the arbitration case at the International Centre for Dispute Resolution relating to Inmarsat's GX Take-or-Pay contract with RigNet.
The settlement will be paid in three installments, $45 million immediately, $5 million in the third quarter of 2019, and $750,000 in the third quarter of 2020.
