Agfa-Gevaert Reaches Settlement on Offset Solutions Sale, Secures €13 Million Payment

Agfa-Gevaert announced it has reached a comprehensive settlement agreement regarding outstanding financial matters arising from the 2022 sale of its Offset Solutions division. The agreement resolves disputes over purchase price adjustments and additional indemnity-related claims, bringing clarity to a process that had remained open following the transaction. The settlement follows a January 2026 expert report that determined a price adjustment amount of €14.7 million, contributing to a total receivable of €17.9 million at the end of 2025.

The purchaser and ECO3 had previously disputed both the expert’s findings and their payment obligations, while parallel discussions were ongoing around separate indemnity claims, including tax-related issues. The final settlement reached in March 2026 addresses all outstanding matters. On March 31, Agfa received a net payment of €13 million, reflecting the €17.9 million receivable reduced by €4.9 million in agreed deductions tied to German and Brazilian tax claims and other indemnity items.

Agfa confirmed that it retains control over the underlying tax procedures, with any future outcomes to be borne by or accrue to the company. “We are satisfied to have received the outstanding payments related to the sale of our Offset Solutions division,” said Pascal Juéry, CEO of Agfa-Gevaert Group. With the settlement now complete, the company indicated it will focus on its ongoing transformation strategy and deploy the funds to support its next phase of development.
