Regulatory press release

Quant AB: Quant reaches agreement to settle Oji Fibre Solutions dispute

Read the release

During 2017 a maintenance contract between Oji Fibre Solutions (NZ) Limited ("Oji") and Quant New Zealand Limited ("Quant NZ") expired, which led to the redundancy of a large number of Quant NZ employees. Oji disputed part of the redundancy payments and withheld payment of NZD 2.7 million (EUR 1.6 million) of the total sum claimed by Quant NZ. In addition, Oji claimed NZD 8.4 million (EUR 5.1 million) as reimbursement of redundancy payments already made on the basis that redundancy cost should be for the account of Quant NZ.

Quant NZ and Oji have reached an agreement to settle the disputes. Under the terms of the agreement Quant NZ will receive NZD 1.2 million (EUR 0.7 million) for contract termination redundancy costs and Oji revokes its claim of NZD 8.4 million (EUR 5.1 million). The settlement will be completed during March 2019. The full settlement amount, net of legal expenses, will impact gross profit and cash flow for Quant during March 2019. The settlement will be recorded as a non-recurring item in Quant's profit and loss statement.
