On January 5, 2011, The Shaw Group Inc. ("Shaw") received a favorable ruling from the Taiwan High Court related to Taiwan Power Company's Lungmen Nuclear Power Project. The High Court's ruling affirmed an arbitration award that ordered Taiwan Power Company to pay the Company approximately $27 million in damages for increased costs caused by Taiwan Power Company. The High Court also dismissed Taiwan Power Company's counterclaims in their entirety.
The Taiwan Power Company may appeal to the Taiwan Supreme Court, which may or may not decide to hear the appeal if filed. At this time, Shaw is making no adjustments to its financial results or its previously issued earning guidance.
