("Steep Hill"), in which he seeks indemnification of attorneys' fees and expenses related to a 2021 arbitration. The Court ruled that claims brought by Steep Hill in the arbitration against Mr. Keller's wholly owned company, Delft Blue Horizons BV, as well Keller's affirmative claims for breach of contract and defamation against Steep Hill, which he was unsuccessful on at the arbitration, are entitled to indemnification. The Court did not award Mr. Keller indemnification for claims brought against him related to press releases he issued after he departed from Steep Hill. The amount of indemnification has not yet been determined.
