In the event court approval is not obtained within 90 days from the date of submitting the proposal or Anti-Trust Authority approval is not obtained within 75 days from the date of submitting the proposal (other than as a result of a default by FIMI) then the proposal will terminate. The FIMI proposal requires that the Company purchases the land where its Israeli facility is located from TAT Industries, at a price based on external appraisal and subject to receipt of all necessary other approvals.
