As already reported, the Semperit Group has been conducting three
arbitrations (International Chamber of Commerce) against its Thai
joint venture partner, Sri Trang-Agro Industry Public Co Ltd. Group
and the joint venture company, respectively. A partial award was
rendered in the arbitration proceedings against the joint venture
partner concerning the business operations and the business
relationship with the joint venture company Siam Sempermed
Corporation Limited (SSC). The arbitral tribunal decided that Sri
Trang-Agro Industry Public Co Ltd. and the other Thai joint venture
partners must comply with Semperit's request for access to SSC's
accounts and company records as well as for the restoration of
transparency at SSC. Other contentious issues that have not been
included in the partial award remain subject of the ongoing
proceedings.
