A seriously bona fide company would promptly put out a PR stating (at very least) the case has been settled since it is a market sensitive development (or it would be in the instance of a company that isn't a laughing stock from which the market doesn't expect anything of any real importance).
There is no reason why the fact of a settlement having been made shouldn't be announced even if the details are confidential.
