Imperial Sugar Co. representatives said the claim related to a major refinery explosion at a Georgia sugar refinery last year, in which 14 workers were killed and dozens were injured.

Insurers had previously provided payments of $300 million under the $350 million policy, which covers the property damage and business interruption costs. The company says a final $45 million payment on the claim is expected in early January.
