We refer to the Market Update where the market was advised that ZCCM-IH had filed a Claim Form with the English High Court to recover outstanding sums in excess of US$100 million due to it from Konkola Copper Mines Plc (KCM) pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement entered into in 2013.

We now advise that ZCCM-IH has been successful in its application for default judgment. KCM has been ordered (on 16 December 2016) to pay all sums owed to ZCCM-IH pursuant to the Settlement Agreement (plus associated contractual interest) within thirty (30) days. The total amount to be paid by KCM amounts to approximately US$103 million. KCM has also been ordered to reimburse ZCCM-IH 80% of the costs it has incurred in pursuing its claim.

Further directions have been given to determine whether KCM made payments to Vedanta Group Companies in breach of the prohibition on doing so under the Settlement Agreement. If and to the extent it is determined that such payments were made, ZCCM-IH will be entitled to recover additional sums from KCM.
