On July 12, 2022 TAT filed a suit against TAT Industries Ltd. In the District Court of Tel Aviv. TAT had leased the Gedera facility from TAT Industries Ltd. until the termination of the lease agreement in 2022. TAT asserts that TAT Industries Ltd. has unlawfully forfeited a bank guarantee that was granted for the benefit TAT Industries Ltd. in connection with the lease in Gedera in the amount of $750 thousands. On December 28, 2022, TAT Industries Ltd. filed a counterclaim against TAT asserting damages caused by TAT in connection with the lease in Gedera. TAT intends to vigorously defend the counterclaim by TAT Industries Ltd.  which is in a preliminary stage, and TAT cannot estimate at this stage what impact, if any, the litigation may have on its results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.
