Long-standing lawsuit against Engility dismissed

CHANTILLY, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Engility Holdings, Inc. EGL, today announced that a long-running lawsuit against it, Jovic, et al. v. Engility Corporation, Inc., has been resolved.

"From the outset of this case, which began more than six years ago, we have steadfastly maintained that there was no factual or legal basis for the suit and that fact is explicitly recognized by today's events," said Tom Miiller, Engility senior vice president and general counsel.

Plaintiffs filing the suit in August 2010 contended they had been harmed by military operations during the wars following the break-up of former Yugoslavia. They alleged Engility was liable for their injuries because an Engility predecessor company had provided training to the Republic of Croatia Department of Defense in 1995.

On Engility's motion in September 2014, the United States District Court dismissed all of the claims based upon alleged violations of international law and Engility subsequently asked the court to dismiss all remaining claims. Engility's latest motion was pending when the parties resolved the case through mediation that resulted in the dismissal of all remaining claims.

Miiller also announced today that Engility will make a $1.4 million donation to International Christian Ministries, Inc., whose mission is to support refugees and displaced persons without regard to race, religion, nationality or ethnic origin.

"Although the company never had any legal responsibility to the Plaintiffs in this case," Miiller said, "humanitarian assistance is always in order to protect and assist persons who are displaced by military conflicts."
