Besides the settlement of the oppression proceedings, last year, BPH Energy and Grandbridge entered into a deed of settlement and release with Advent and other relevant parties, excepting certain actions involving Advent, which have now been discontinued. Moreover, the Company and Grandbridge have now settled the residual legal matters with Advent.
