RedHill Launches Enforcement of $11 Million New York Supreme Court Final Judgment Against Kukbo

In November 2025, the New York Supreme Court judgment on the principal award became final and eligible for enforcement and foreign recognition. The award to RedHill of legal fees and expenses is now also final following Kukbo's failure to perfect its appeal by the applicable deadline in March 2026. No further appeals are permissible with respect to either judgment.

The Court awarded approximately $10.9 million in total to RedHill, comprised of the main judgment of approximately $8.9 million, and the award for legal fees and expenses of approximately $1.95 million, each including the principal amounts and accrued 9% statutory interest to date, which continues to accrue.

RedHill had also previously secured a Korean court attachment grant against Kukbo aimed at preventing Kukbo from disposing of assets prior to judgment enforcement.

Recognition and enforcement efforts are ongoing. Following service of the complaint in Korea, the Company now awaits Kukbo's response in the Korean proceeding and the further scheduling of the matter by the Korean court. No assurances can be provided regarding the timing of any recovery or the amount that may be recovered, including whether the Company will recover all or any portion of the awarded amounts.
