Thermodynetics Seeks Dividend Payment and Court Ruling
17 January 2008 - 2:00AM
Marketwired
WINDSOR, CT has not been paid dividends now due from its
subsidiary, Turbotec Products Plc (TRBO). There has been
disagreement over the interpretation of clauses in their
Relationship Agreement that address the payment terms of the
administration fees and TRBO's dividend distributions. Despite
TDYT's protracted efforts to resolve matters amicably, an impasse
has arisen. TDYT has now instituted proceedings in London for the
English Court to rule on these matters.
TRBO has sought to offset the dividends payable to TDYT against
administration fees previously paid by purporting to re-classify
those fees as prepaid dividends. After deciding to follow this
re-classification, TBRO reported higher earnings to the AIM market
in London by not expensing the fees paid.
TDYT has been advised that its interpretation is correct and
that TDYT is due the dividends in full without offset. TDYT expects
to prevail and regrettably was forced to enforce its rights to
collect the declared dividend.
