Item 8.01. Other Events
EnerSys Delaware Inc. (“EDI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Supply and Distribution Agreement with Altergy Systems (“Altergy”) in January 2008, which was amended in December 2009, pursuant to which EDI was, among other things, granted the exclusive right to distribute and sell certain fuel cell products manufactured by Altergy for various applications throughout the United States. Commencing in 2011, various disputes arose and, because of the mandatory arbitration provision in the Supply and Distribution Agreement between EDI and Altergy (the “SDA”), an arbitration action was filed by EDI in November 2012 seeking arbitration of claims relating to the SDA. In February 2013, EDI terminated the SDA. Following unsuccessful attempts to resolve their disputes by mediation in July 2013, the parties moved forward with arbitration in August 2013, where each party asserted various claims against the other.
On May 14, 2014, EnerSys issued a press release announcing that an award had been issued on May 13, 2014 in connection with this arbitration. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
