Grevenmacher, Luxembourg, Jan. 24 (Bloomberg) -- Thiel Logistik AG, a Luxembourg-based maker of software for logistics and management, said it had reached a settlement with Compaq Computer GmbH. It did not specify the nature of the dispute.
The settlement means Compaq's claim of 8.7 million deutsche marks ($4.2 million) on Ley GmbH, a subsidiary of Thiel, no longer exists. The reserves Thiel set aside for legal costs associated with the claim will be liquidated, boosting profit at the unit, the company said in a statement on Frankfurt's stock exchange.
Thiel shares rose as much as 4.95 euros, or 3.5 percent, to 148.45 euros. |
