Fraud Update
T Clarke plc ("the Company"), the building services group, is
pleased to advise that further to the announcement on 31 October
2016 of the discovery of financial irregularities within the
accounting function of a wholly-owned subsidiary, DG Robson
Mechanical Services Limited ("DGR"), it has reached an out-of-court
settlement with a former employee of DGR and related parties in
respect of the misappropriated funds. Under the terms of the
settlement agreement, the Company will receive aggregate cash
payments of GBP1.43 million on or before 31 December 2017 (unless
the Company agrees to an extension of the final settlement date) in
full and final settlement of all claims by the Company and its
subsidiaries against the individual concerned and related
parties.
The Company continues to pursue other third parties in order to
recover the balance of the misappropriated funds. It is too early
at this stage to estimate the quantum of any further recovery.
