Pandox AB receives positive verdict in civil case regarding claims against former lessee and may claim compensation through the bankruptcy proceedings

The verdict refers to claims in the bankruptcy estate associated with future rent under a long-term lease agreement in Copenhagen, where the lessee was declared bankrupt in 2013.

Tribe Invest AS (under bankruptcy), the lessee, asserted that Pandox suffered no loss as a consequence of the bankruptcy and therefore had no right to receive any claim in the bankruptcy estate.

Tribe Invest AS (under bankruptcy) was unsuccessful in its assertion and it was established by the court that Pandox has the right to claim compensation through the bankruptcy proceedings. Pandox will evaluate how they will proceed with further claims. During 2015, Pandox received SEK 60 million as compensation from former board of directors/owners of Tribe Invest as described in a press release on 3 July 2015.
