Korea Fair Trade Commission (KFTC) – Suspension of the Seoul High Court decision

Paris – January 20, 2023. As announced, GTT appealed, on December 22, 2022, the Seoul High Court's decision dated December 1, 2022. This appeal was accompanied by a request for suspension of the decision.

GTT's appeal to the Supreme Court of Korea concerns the Company’s obligation to separate the technology license and the technical assistance if requested by the shipyards.

On January 17, 2023, the Supreme Court of Korea decided to suspend the execution of the Seoul High Court's decision.

Therefore, shipyards cannot request GTT to separate the technology license and the technical assistance until a decision is made by the Supreme Court of Korea.

The Company will keep the market informed of any significant development on the matter.
