Je nachdem, wie die Gespräche und Verhandlungen weiter verlaufen, kann dann danach - nach positiven Verlauf - ggf. erstmal auch das "Q" wieder entfallen.

Nach der mysteriösen Pleite des Apple-Zulieferers GT Advanced Technologies haben sich beide Unternehmen geeinigt, in einer Fabrik in Arizona den Betrieb einzustellen.
Dem Vergleich zufolge darf der Hersteller von kratzfestem Saphirglas in seinem Standort in Mesa mehr als 2000 Brennöfen verkaufen, die der iPhone-Hersteller finanziert hatte. Apple wird an den Verkaufserlösen beteiligt. GT-Anwalt Luc Despins sagte am Dienstag, die Firmen gingen einvernehmlich getrennte Wege und würden sich nicht gegenseitig verklagen. Er kündigte zudem an, dass GT mehr Einzelheiten zur Insolvenz veröffentlichen werde. Demnach sollen am Freitag weitere Unterlagen eingereicht werden. ...
Die Insolvenz geht auf einen Vertrag mit Apple zurück, der im November vergangenen Jahres geschlossen wurde. Eigentlich sollte GT das Saphirglas exklusiv für den kalifornischen Konzern herstellen, der die Bauteile etwa für iPhones verwenden will. Insidern und Analysten zufolge konnte GT aber nicht so viel Saphirglas herstellen wie vereinbart.
Apple hält allgemein geheim, wie die eigenen Produkte entstehen und woher die Bauteile kommen. Viele Zulieferer müssen Schweigeverpflichtungen unterschreiben. GT riskiert nach eigener Auskunft bei einem Verstoß Schadenersatzzahlungen von 50 Millionen Dollar für jede Verletzung des Vertrages.

GT hatte in diesem Monat überraschend Konkurs angemeldet. Zum Hintergrund hat sich das Unternehmen unter Verweis auf Vertraulichkeitsabkommen mit Apple bislang nicht öffentlich geäußert. Entsprechende Gerichtsakten werden unter Verschluss gehalten.

MERRIMACK, N.H., Oct. 23, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GT Advanced Technologies Inc. (OTC Pink:GTATQ) and Apple have reached a settlement agreement under which GT will wind down its sapphire materials production in the company's Mesa, AZ and Salem, MA locations. The company indicated that it will exit from the market as a producer of sapphire materials and will refocus its business as an equipment supplier, manufacturing and developing sapphire growth systems and processes.
Under the terms of the settlement agreement, which is subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court, GT will be released from all exclusivity obligations under its various agreements with Apple. GT will retain ownership of all production, ancillary and inventory assets located in Mesa and Apple is provided with a mechanism for recovering its $439 million pre-payment made to GT over a period of up to four years without interest, solely from a portion of the proceeds from ASF® sales. The agreement provides for a mutual release of any and all claims by both parties. As a result of the agreed upon terms, GT retains control of its intellectual property and will be able to sell its sapphire growth and fabrication technology, including ASF and Hyperion™, without restrictions.
GT and Apple will continue their technical exchange involving the development of processes for growing next generation sapphire boules as GT continues to build on its successfully deployed ASF115Kg technology and expand its range above 165Kg.
"We are pleased with the settlement that we have negotiated with Apple," said Tom Gutierrez, president and chief executive officer. "We realize that our filing for Chapter 11 protection has caused uncertainty and hardship for many of our important stakeholders. We have been working diligently to develop a restructuring plan that will allow us to emerge from Chapter 11 as quickly as possible and with the operating flexibility and resources to position GT for long-term success. This agreement with Apple is an important step in that direction as it will allow us to monetize our advanced sapphire growth and fabrication technologies in an unrestricted manner. In addition to continuing to sell our industry leading sapphire equipment, we remain committed to advancing our Merlin™, Hyperion™ and next-generation PV and polysilicon solar solutions."
As a result of the decision to wind down its sapphire materials operations, earlier this week GT initiated the process of shutting down the Mesa facility and approximately 650 Mesa employees have been laid off. A group of Mesa employees will remain on board to help with the wind down of the facility over the coming months. The company expects that there will be additional reductions-in-force implemented in the coming days, which will impact its Salem, MA, Merrimack, NH and select Asia locations.
"We recognize and regret the impact that these actions have on our valued employees and their families and we are committed to supporting them through this transition," Gutierrez concluded.
A redacted version of the Settlement Agreement is attached to this press release: http://media.globenewswire.com/cache/25489/file/29707.pdf
GT will file its motion seeking bankruptcy court approval of the settlement agreement on Monday October 27, 2014, and the Bankruptcy Court is scheduled to hear such motion on November 25, 2014.

Apple ponders sapphire options, leaves door open for GT
Thu Oct 23, 2014 9:32pm BST
(Reuters) - Apple Inc (AAPL.O) said on Thursday it is studying options for sapphire supply and might work again with GT Advanced Technologies Inc (GTATQ.PK) if the distressed supplier can reduce production costs for the scratch-resistant material.
GT, a former stock market darling and supplier to Apple, filed for bankruptcy on Oct 6 in a stunning turn of events for a company whose fortunes looked bright only a few months ago. Apple said on Thursday that GT's "ambitious" vision of sapphire manufacturing was ultimately not quite ready for primetime.
Few details have emerged since the bankruptcy filing, which wiped out most of GT's market value and triggered speculation over what may have soured its relationship with Apple.
But on Thursday, Apple, which had backed the development with GT of a sapphire-manufacturing plant in Arizona, said it will keep an eye on GT's advances, holding open the possibility of doing business with it in future.
"Apple put a lot of effort into an ambitious new sapphire manufacturing process with GTAT which is not ready for production. Were going to continue evaluating GTAT's progress on larger sapphire boule development, as well as consider other options for the facility," spokeswoman Kristin Huguet said, referring to raw cylinders of the material.
At the heart of GT's bankruptcy filing was a deal struck with Apple in November 2013. GT Advanced was to have used the Arizona plant to make scratch-resistant sapphire exclusively for Apple. That sapphire was to have eventually found its way into future mobile devices, such as iPhones - where it's already in use in their fingerprint sensors - or the upcoming Apple Watch.
On Thursday, GT said it will continue "technical exchanges" with Apple on making larger, next-generation sapphire boules, raw cylinders of the material that effectively increase capacity and lower the unit cost of production. GT said it would expand into boules of more than 165 kg, from the current 115 kg.
On Thursday, GT Advanced also laid out the details of an agreement struck and described in court on Tuesday.
Under that pact, GT will stop making sapphire materials for now and focus on supplying equipment to make sapphire crystals.
GT said it would be released from all exclusivity obligations with Apple and a mechanism would be provided for the iPhone maker to recover its $439 million pre-payment to the company, without interest.
At a hearing this week at the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Springfield, Massachusetts, GT said the expected deal with Apple would save money and allow it to be more open about its mysterious Chapter 11 filing.
GT said on Thursday it would wind down its sapphire production factories in Mesa, Arizona and Salem, Massachusetts. It has laid off about 650 employees at the Mesa plant and expects additional job cuts in Salem.
GT will retain control of its intellectual property and will be able to sell its sapphire fabrication technology without restrictions, it said in a statement.
