On November 28, 2013, ICTSI and the other shareholders of Cebu International Container
Terminal, Inc. (CICTI) (the Sellers) entered into a conditional Share Purchase Agreement (SPA)
with Cebu Asian Rim Property and Development Corporation and Hongkong Land (Philippines)
BV (the Buyers) for the sale of its entire ownership in CICTI. On January 13, 2014, and upon
fulfillment of conditions under the SPA, the Sellers executed a Deed of Absolute Sale in favor of
the Buyers. ICTSIs share in the net proceeds from the sale amounted to US$26.6 million (P1.2
billion). Net cash inflow from the sale of CICTI, which excludes the cash and cash equivalents of
CICTI as at date of sale, amounted to US$26.5 million. The sale resulted in the recognition of
gain on sale amounting to US$13.2 million in the 2014 interim unaudited consolidated statement
of income shown as part of Gain on sale of a subsidiary account.
In March 2014, ICTSI through its subsidiaries, ICTSI Ltd. and IPSAL, purchased the remaining
45.08 percent ownership in NPSA, noncontrolling shareholder of Tecplata, for
US$6.0 million. The purchase was accounted for as an acquisition of noncontrolling interests.
This transaction effectively increased ICTSIs ownership in Tecplata from 96.25 percent to
100.00 percent (see Note 14.6).
On February 4, 2015, IFEL acquired the 10% non-controlling interest from Anglo Ports and
became 100% owner of VICT for US$6.2 million. This resulted in the reduction of
non-controlling interests account and the difference between the purchase price and carrying
value of the non-controlling interest of US$6.5 million was recognized under Excess of
acquisition cost over the carrying value of non-controlling interests account in the 2015
consolidated balance sheet.
On April 27, 2015, NICTI purchased ICTSIs 60 percent ownership interest in NICTI for
JPY107.0 million (approximately US$0.9 million) as part of its treasury shares. The 10-year
lease agreement of NICTI will expire at yearend and negotiations for its renewal will soon
commence and ICTSI is no longer interested in participating in the said negotiations. The
transaction resulted in the recognition of gain on sale amounting to US$0.3 million in the 2015
interim unaudited consolidated statement of income.
On May 19, 2015, ICTSI, through its subsidiary, ICTSI Cooperatief, and its joint venture partner,
SIMOBILE, transferred their respective 8% and 2% ownership interest in IDRC to Societe
Commerciale Des Transports Et Des Ports S.A. (SCTP SA) in exchange for the latters
contribution of technical knowledge, skills and substantial experience in the port and port system
in DRC and operation of railroad system and undertaking to facilitate the activities of IDRC and
to assist in its relations with the public authorities. Thereafter, IDRC is owned 52% by ICTSI,
38% by SIMOBILE and 10% by SCTP SA. The transaction was accounted for as a change in
noncontrolling interest and was recorded as an increase of US$0.9 million in the Excess of
acquisition cost over the carrying value of non-controlling interests - net account in the 2015
interim unaudited consolidated balance sheet.
On May 27, 2015, ICTSI, through its subsidiary, ICTSI Tuxpan B.V., acquired from Grupo TMM
S.A.B and Immobiliaria TMM S.A. de C.V 100 percent of the capital stock of TMT for
US$54.5 million. The acquisition did not qualify as an acquisition of a business in accordance
with PFRS 3, Business Combination, and was therefore accounted for as acquisition of assets,
mainly composed of land and concession rights.
2.
Contingencies
Due to the nature of the Groups business, it is involved in various legal proceedings, both as
plaintiff and defendant, from time to time. Management and its legal counsels believe that the
Group has substantial legal and factual bases for its position and is of the opinion that losses
arising from the existing legal actions and proceedings, if any, will not have a material adverse
impact on the Groups unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial position and results of
operations.
TICT
On December 28, 2012, TICT filed a Notice of Termination of its 10-year Investment Agreement
with Tartous Port General Company (TPGC). Termination was executed in accordance with the
terms and conditions of the Investment Agreement, specifically unforeseen change of
circumstances and Force Majeure. The change of circumstances was brought about by civil
unrest and violence in Syria, which had gravely affected businesses and trade in the country.
In early 2013, TPGC submitted to arbitration TICTs termination notice. On April 1, 2014,
ICTSI, through TICT, received a decision from the arbitration panel. On April 20, 2015, the
award has become executory. However, management and its legal counsels believe that TPGC
will not be able to successfully enforce the award outside of Syria.
BICTL
BICTL has been operating the multipurpose container terminal and dry cargo and ferry terminal in
the Black Sea Port of Batumi, Georgia, under a Lease Agreement entered into with Batumi Sea
Port Ltd. (BSP) way back on September 20, 2007.
In 2013, BSP sent a notice of alleged violation of the terms and conditions of the Lease
Agreement by BCITL. After receiving BSPs notice and formally disputing in writing the
allegations, BICTL initiated arbitration proceedings with the London Court of International
Arbitration (LCIA) to settle the dispute with its lessor, BSP, in accordance with the dispute
resolution mechanism under the Lease Agreement.
After executing a standstill agreement, the parties settled their differences in an amicable manner
which led to the execution of the Settlement Agreement in September, 2015. The Settlement
Agreement covers several mutually beneficial measures with focus on further growth of the port.
Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the parties subsequently withdrew their respective claims
and counterclaims before the LCIA which led to the termination of the arbitration proceeedings.
CGSA
In April 2010, a vessel, CCNI Antartico, hit one of the quay cranes of CGSA causing damage to
the crane, affecting portion of one of the berths, related infrastructure and third party containers
and cargo. These properties were capitalized as intangible assets in the consolidated balance
sheet. CGSA and ICTSI took appropriate steps to replace the equipment, repair the berth and
minimize business interruption. The damaged crane has been replaced and the berth has been
repaired. The repaired berth and crane replacement have been operational since October 2010 and
June 2011, respectively. Security in respect of CGSAs claims against the vessel has been
obtained in relation to the damage caused to CGSAs equipment, facilities, operations and third
parties equipment and goods.
On June 16, 2014, the Group and its local insurers entered into a settlement agreement with
CCNI, wherein CCNI agreed to pay a total sum of US$12.8 million, US$9.9 million of which
represents the Groups share corresponding to the reimbursement for damaged gantry crane, berth
repair, legal fees and other related costs. This resulted in the recognition of US$1.6 million gain
on settlement of insurance claims presented under Other income account in the 2014 interim
unaudited consolidated statement of income.
On July 23, 2014, the Group received as full settlement of its claims a total of US$9.9 million.
ICTSI Oregon
Due to the labor disruption caused by the ILWU in Portland commencing in June 2012 and
continuing to the present, ICTSI Oregon has filed two separate counter-claims in federal court
against the ILWU seeking monetary damages. The first is a claim for damages caused by the
ILWU's unlawful secondary activity under the National Labor Relations Act. The second is an
antitrust claim brought against the ILWU and the Pacific Maritime Association (PMA). ICTSI
Oregon also has a second counterclaim for breach of fiduciary duty against PMA. In addition, the
National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has sought and obtained two federal court injunctions
against the ILWU prohibiting illegal work stoppages as well as a finding of contempt of court
against the union.
ICTSI Oregon's federal court damage claim for unlawful secondary activity against the ILWU has
been stayed pending completion of administrative proceedings before the NLRB. ICTSI Oregon's
damage claim against the ILWU is a substantial claim, seeking a multi-million dollar judgment.
This claim is unlikely to be tried in court for at least a couple of years.
ICTSI Oregon's antitrust claim against the ILWU and PMA was dismissed by the federal court.
The judge granted ICTSI Oregon permission to appeal the dismissal to the Ninth Circuit Court of
Appeals. The appeal is pending and we are likely to obtain a decision in 2016. If ICTSI Oregon
prevails, its antitrust claim will proceed before the trial court. Under federal law, successful
antitrust plaintiffs may recover treble damages.
As with its claim against the ILWU for damages caused by illegal secondary activity, ICTSI
Oregon's breach of fiduciary claim against PMA has been stayed by the federal court.
