If that's the case, then we might not necessarily get information about the settlement. At the very least we'll get a vague update. It will go something like, "Negotiations are still in progress, as are the regulatory approvals, but we are still hopeful to bring the whole process to a conclusion by the end of H1 of this fiscal year" (meaning end of August).
IF however the IP deal is with a company that isn't Facebook, then yes, we should get some sort of hint about the separate legal settlement. Even if BB has committed to a non-disclosure agreement, we'll be able to glean info from different line items in the financials.
Still, I'm hoping
-- that the deal is in fact with FB
-- that it's huge
-- that BB uses the AGM or the days just before the AGM to make the big announcement.
Imagine how smooth the whole voting process will go if the headiline on Monday June 21 reads: "BB announces multi-billion deal with FB".
