Item 3. Legal Proceedings
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (U.S. dollars in millions)
The Company is at times either a plaintiff or a defendant in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business, the outcomes of which, in the opinion of management, neither individually nor in the aggregate are likely to result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, except as noted herein.
On March 9, 2021, the Company filed claims in the District Court of Harris County, Texas against Magellan E&P Holdings, Inc. (“Magellan”), Redmon-Keys Insurance Group, Inc. (“Redmon-Keys”) and certain underwriters at Lloyd's (the “Magellan Underwriters”) to recover $4.6 owed on invoices duly issued by the Company for services rendered on behalf of the defendants in response to an offshore well blowout near Bob Hall Pier in Corpus Christi, Texas. On March 30, 2021, Magellan filed for bankruptcy pursuant to Chapter 7 of the U.S. bankruptcy code. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021, the Company reserved the full amount of its invoices totaling $4.6 as a prudent action in light of the Chapter 7 filing. Through the bankruptcy proceedings, the Company recovered $1.0 in March 2024 and, following a settlement by the Chapter 7 Trustee with the Magellan Underwriters in December 2024 and approved by the Court in January 2025, the Company expects to receive an additional $1.0 to $1.3 in 2025. The Company continues to pursue claims against Redmon-Keys.
