As announced on 29 January 2015, the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) Arbitration declared an award in favour of the Company with respect to its Galaxia investment, a joint venture with the Logix Group ("Logix") located in an 11.2 acre Special Economic Zone, in NOIDA, the National Capital Region, India. The total award amounted to £9.2 million based on exchange rates at the time. Additionally, a further 15% p.a interest on all sums was awarded to the Company from 20 January 2015 until the actual date of payment by Logix of the award.
