NPLA - InPlay Technologies Receives Court Approval of $7.5 Million Claim in Delphi Bankruptcy
Tuesday February 27, 9:10 am ET


PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--InPlay Technologies® (NASDAQ:NPLA - News), a developer and marketer of innovative, emerging technologies, today announced that it received bankruptcy court approval of the settlement agreement between InPlay Technologies and Delphi Corp. under which InPlay Technologies has been granted an allowed general unsecured claim against Delphi Automotive Systems LLC in the amount of $7.5 million.



"We are pleased to have reached this agreement with Delphi," said Bob Brilon, CEO, InPlay Technologies. "With the claim stipulated, it becomes more marketable to firms purchasing Delphi debt. We anticipate pursuing opportunities to monetize the claim, which will strengthen our balance sheet and allow us to focus our attention on our growing MagicPoint® and Duraswitch® business opportunities."

InPlay's claim stems from an agreement signed between Duraswitch and Delphi in 2000. Delphi paid a non-refundable payment of $4 million and committed $12 million minimum royalties to Duraswitch through 2007 for exclusive rights to use Duraswitch technologies in the automotive industry. Delphi had paid $3 million of that $12 million commitment to InPlay, with an additional $3 million due in July 2006 and $6 million in July 2007. As part of its bankruptcy filing in October 2005, Delphi filed a motion seeking rejection of this agreement under relevant bankruptcy law. The Court allowed the rejection subject to InPlay's right to claim damages for the breach of the agreement. InPlay subsequently filed a damages claim for the remaining $9 million in minimum royalties.
