Since December 2007 the Company has been involved in discussions and subsequently in legal proceedings with SAMAR B.V. All claims in the summary proceedings were instantly dismissed at the court hearing of February 15, 2008.

Notwithstanding the foregoing and against all expectations, the court of Haarlem decided on July 7, 2010 to grant all claims by Samar. TIE currently foresees a negative impact on the fourth quarter results amounting to 766K. Management is currently investigating its options, and expects to file an appeal on the short term.
