Wilton Resources Corporation Limited ( (SG:5F7) ) has shared an announcement.

Wilton Resources Corporation Limited has entered into a deed of settlement with Karl Hoffmann Mineral Pte. Ltd., resolving a long‑running dispute linked to a 2017 project financing arrangement and subsequent supplemental deeds, confirmation documents and statutory demands. The settlement grants a full and final release of all past and potential claims by Karl Hoffmann against Wilton, its subsidiaries and key executives up to the date of the agreement.

Under the settlement, Wilton will pay an aggregate US$14.5 million to Karl Hoffmann, comprising US$250,000 on execution and US$14.25 million within three months, with possible extensions to accommodate regulatory or shareholder approvals. This amount represents a significant reduction from the earlier outstanding sums of more than US$25 million plus interest, but if Wilton fails to meet the payment conditions, the liability will revert to a higher revised amount with 9% annual interest backdated to October 2023, leaving investors exposed to execution and default risk despite the immediate legal overhang being eased.
