Suspension of Environmental License
In late 2022, Samax Romania SRL (“Samax”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, received a notice of action from the Cluj County court regarding an action made by Asociatia Declic against Samax for the suspension of the environmental license held by Sama with respect to the Rovina Valley project (the “Environmental Licence”), followed by an action for annulment in respect of the same Environmental License (together, the “Actions”).
The Cluj County court dismissed the grounds for suspension of the Environmental License. However, on appeal, the Cluj Court of Appeals overturned this verdict and admitted the suspension thereof. The Company will now file evidence with the Cluj County court to respond to the action for annulment of the Environmental Licence, which is pending and will continue to protect its rights and cooperate with the authorities for the development of the Rovina Valley project.
