Note 14.Environmental Matters

 

In July 2014, one of the Company’s German businesses, Interturbine Aviation Logistics GmbH (ITL), which was acquired by B/E Aerospace Systems Holding GmbH in July 2012, was informed by German authorities that it had allegedly violated certain provisions of environmental and health and safety regulations related to the import and sale of certain chemical products for the period of 2009 through 2013. The Company is cooperating with German authorities and currently investigating the amounts of chemical products that were imported and allegedly sold in violation of the applicable laws. The ITL executive pre-acquisition continued to operate the business through July 2014, at which time he was removed. These violations could result in an administrative monetary penalty and a disgorgement of profits from the sale of products sold in violation of the applicable laws, which could be material. The Company is not currently able to determine the probability or estimable range of liability, if any, which it may ultimately be found to be responsible for that is not covered by any indemnity claims against the seller of ITL.
