Litigation

The STOMP Arbitration

In April 2016, we have received a Final Award in our arbitration with The STOMP Company Limited Partnership, the producer of the show STOMP, currently playing at our Orpheum Theater in New York City for over 20 years.   The Final Award awards us $2.3 million in attorney’s fees and costs.  The parties are currently negotiating terms for the payment of the Final Award, on a basis that is intended to allow recovery by the Company of the entire Final Award (plus interest at 4%), while at the same time allowing the show to continue playing at our Orpheum Theater.  We have filed a confirmation of the arbitral award in New York Supreme Court and will pursue collection if parties are unable to reach an agreement.
