The settlement agreement is subject to several conditions, including the participation of 100% of the claimants, stays of the scheduled April and June trials, and "a determination that the settlement was entered in good faith under the Illinois Contribution Among Joint Tortfeasors Act." The 100% participation requirement may be waived by Sterigenics and the settlement would be binding on only those plaintiffs participating in the settlement, the filing stated. "Sterigenics denies any liability and the term sheet explicitly provides that the settlement is not to be presented or construed as an admission of any liability or that emissions from the Willowbrook facility posed any safety hazards to the surrounding communities," the SEC filing stated. Sterigenics is still facing 30 pending lawsuits by other lawyers in the Circuit Court of Cook County. Recently, five claims were set for trial in October 2025, and additional lawsuits have been threatened, according to a statement from Sterigenics.
