Item 8.01. Other Events
On August 15, 2014, Raytheon Systems Limited (“RSL”) received a decision from the Arbitration Tribunal in connection with the arbitration proceeding between RSL and the U.K. Home Office (the “Home Office”) relating to the parties’ dispute over the Home Office’s purported default termination of RSL on the eBorders program in 2010. The Tribunal found that the Home Office had unlawfully terminated RSL for default and had therefore repudiated the eBorders contract with RSL. Accordingly, the Tribunal denied the Home Office’s claims for damages and clawback of previous payments. The Tribunal awarded RSL damages and other monetary relief of approximately £185 million (approximately $309 million based on foreign exchange rates as of August 15, 2014). In addition, the Tribunal found that the Home Office had wrongfully retained the £50 million (approximately $83 million based on foreign exchange rates as of August 15, 2014) it had drawn on RSL letters of credit in April 2011. The Tribunal also reserved ruling on costs and on the quantification of interest payable to RSL for a later date.
