The signatories have stated that the agreement is reached in full and final settlement of their dispute. The signatories agreed to keep the details of the settlement confidential.  \n4. As required by Paragraph 12(h) of the AM Resolution, at the end of the dispute resolution process, the Dispute Resolution Service (DRS) prepares a report for the Executive Directors to be issued through the Accountability Mechanism Secretary, informing them of the outcome. I issue this report now, to the Executive Directors, the Inspection Panel, and the Bank Management, as an annex to this notice.  \n5.

Accountability and institutional learning are an essential part of a dispute resolution process, and we also will look for a future opportunity to share information with you.  \n6. I congratulate the Parties on their committed work and reaching an historic agreement, the first such agreement mediated by the Accountability Mechanism’s new Dispute Resolution Service. I would like to thank the entire team for breaking this new path with great diligence and Bank Management for its role in the process as observer.
