AI defended that claim, on various grounds, and also brought a third party claim against the former chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, Wolfgang Vilsmeier, seeking an indemnity from him in the event that the Company was held to be liable to Mr. Pirrwitz. AI also filed a counter-claim against Mr. Pirrwitz for breach of fiduciary duty in relation to his role as a director of SOGEAP, the owner and operator of the airport in Parma, Italy. The Court decided in favor of Mr. Pirrwitz both in relation to his claim for a payment pursuant to his removal from the Board of Directors, and the Company's counterclaim with respect to breach of fiduciary duty. The Court also decided against AI regarding its third party claim with its former chairman. The Board of Directors is disappointed with this outcome, and considers it entirely inconsistent with all advice it received. The Board is considering its options with respect to these matters and will inform the certificate holders when further information is available.
