Investor Releases
As previously disclosed, on July 29, 2009, two
Hungarian minority shareholders filed a lawsuit against the Company, requesting
the Court to render ineffective the resolutions passed by the extraordinary
general meeting of the Company held on June 29, 2009. The Metropolitan Court, in its first instance
judgment announced on June 16, 2010, dismissed the claim.
The minority shareholder plaintiffs submitted
an appeal against the first instance judgment and requested that the first
instance judgment be reversed.
The Metropolitan Court of Appeal, in its final
judgment announced on January 18, 2011, upheld the first instance judgment, as
requested by the Company. Accordingly, the judgment rejecting the claim became
binding. This judgment of the Metropolitan Court of Appeal is non-appealable.
