Commitments and Contingencies Commitments and Contingencies
On July 12, 2022, we announced that we concluded a settlement with the European Commission to end a long-running investigation of our metal packaging operations in Europe. This investigation was started in 2015 by the German antitrust authority and was transferred in 2018 to the European Commission. As part of the settlement, we agreed to pay a fine of $25.2 million to put an end to the investigation, although we do not fully concur with the facts and legal qualifications put forth by the European Commission. The fine will be payable in the fourth quarter of 2022. The European Commission has agreed to close its investigation and not proceed any further with this matter.

We are a party to other legal proceedings, contract disputes and claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not a party to, and none of our properties are subject to, any pending legal proceedings which could have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition.
