Other Events

On November 30, 2021, Servotronics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release (the “Settlement Agreement”) by and among the Company, Aero Metal Products, Inc. (“AMP”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and Aero, Inc. (“Aero”) to settle all claims and counterclaims related to a lawsuit filed by Aero against the Company and AMP, on July 19, 2013 in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Erie (the “Lawsuit”). Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Aero $1.8 million in cash and the parties have agreed to dismiss the Lawsuit, with prejudice. In addition, the Company and Aero each agreed to release the other party from certain claims, including those arising out of the Lawsuit.

The Company previously recorded a charge of $1,800,000 associated with the Lawsuit as of September 30, 2021. Such amount was reflected in other accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet that was included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2021.

The sole shareholder of Aero, Inc. is the wife of a former executive officer, who is the brother of the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company. The Settlement Agreement was unanimously approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.

The Settlement Agreement does not constitute an admission of liability, culpability, negligence, or wrongdoing on the part of the Company or AMP. The Company believes the settlement is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The settlement reflects the Company’s desire to forgo further litigation uncertainty, risk, expense, and potential damages, and to eliminate further distraction from business focus associated with continuing lengthy and complex litigation and possible appeals.
