TravelCenters of America LLC (Nasdaq: TA) today announced that, on April 9, 2018, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware entered its Final Order and Judgment (“Order”) for the Comdata litigation awarding TA attorneys’ fees and costs it incurred in the litigation.

Pursuant to the Order, Comdata is required to continue to honor the terms of these agreements and, earlier today, Comdata reimbursed TA for attorneys’ fees and costs, together with interest, in the amount of approximately $10.7 million. Comdata has thirty days from the date of the Order to file a notice of appeal in this litigation.
