27 Commitments and contingencies

Litigations

Currently, the Company is involved in one civil case regarding award of the LNG terminal funds and late interest from Achema AB.

In respect of the civil case regarding award of the LNG terminal funds, the Company acts solely as an administrator of the LNG terminal funds, transfers the LNG terminal funds to their recipients only after collecting them from the buyers, and accordingly, the Company does not incur credit risk in respect of the disputed amount.

By the decision of Kaunas Regional Court of 20 January 2022, the proceedings were suspended in respect of the claimed LNG extra charges of EUR 4 678 thousand and late interest of EUR 55 thousand arising from the natural gas transmission service contract of 22 December 2014, as it was pending the decision of the European Commission regarding the compatibility of the LNG extra charges, collected during the period from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2018, with the state aid rules under the EU law. By decision of 17 March 2022, the Lithuanian Court of Appeal left the decision of Kaunas Regional Court of 20 January 2022 unchanged.

By the decision of Kaunas Regional Court of 20 September 2022, the proceedings were also suspended in respect of late interest of EUR 763 thousand arising from the natural gas transmission service contract of 21 December 2012 and a counterclaim, whereby Achema AB requested to declare as unlawful the Company's actions when calculating late interest under the natural gas transmission service contract of 21 December 2012 and when allocating the payments collected from Achema AB under the contract for offsetting against late interest, as it was pending the decision of the European Commission regarding the compatibility of the LNG terminal funds, charged during the period from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2018, with the state aid rules under the EU law. As the Company disagreed with the decision of Kaunas Regional Court of 20 June 2022, it filed a separate appeal regarding the annulment of the aforementioned part of the decision. As the Lithuanian Court of Appeal investigated the Company's separate appeal, it made a decision on 8 September 2022, by which the decision of Kaunas Regional Court of 20 June 2022 was left unchanged.

As at 17 March 2023 the Company submitted an application to the Kaunas District Court regarding the increase of the claim (hereinafter - the Application), asking the court to award EUR 763 thousand late interest from AB "Achema" in favor of the Company, according to 2012 natural gas transmission service contract dated 21 December 2012, 5 655 thousand LNG terminal funds and EUR 169 thousand late interest in accordance with 22 December 2014 natural gas transmission service contract. The issue of acceptance of this Company's Application will be decided by the Kaunas District Court after resuming the proceedings.
