Sparton and L-3 Communications Reach Settlement Agreement
August 24, 2015 | Business WireEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Sparton Corporation announced today that it has signed a settlement agreement to pay L-3 Communications $2.5 million.
On September 24, 2013, L-3 Communications Corporation, doing business as L-3 Linkabit, filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Orlando Division, against Sparton Corporation and Sparton Electronics. On August 20, 2015, Sparton and L-3 signed a mutual accord resolving the dispute. The agreement requires payment from Sparton to L-3 on or before October 1, 2015 in consideration for dismissal of the litigation. Neither party admitted to any mistakes, damage or fault.
“This settlement has resulted in a positive business outcome between our two companies,” stated Cary Wood, President & CEO of Sparton. “Our on-going relationship with L-3 remains solid and we expect to continue to be partners well into the future. The new business development funnel continues to be strong overall and includes a number of key L-3 programs currently in the quote phase. With fiscal 2015’s adjusted earnings per share to be announced on September 8, 2015 in-line with analyst consensus, it allows us to enter fiscal 2016 with a clean slate by having this dispute and the Fenwal rebalancing activities well behind us, setting us up for what we expect to be a successful fiscal 2016 on all fronts.”
“We are pleased to have this matter behind us,” commented John Mega, President of L-3’s Communication Systems Business Segment. “I expect Sparton to continue to be an integral part of our supply chain as evidenced by the multiple programs currently sourced and being produced, as well as a number of other programs being quoted by them for future sourcing opportunities.”
