StarKist plans to pay the fine in installments over the next five years. Of the planned payment, $50 million has already been reflected in the upcoming second-quarter earnings results, and the remainder will be factored in the bottom line later, Dongwon Industries said in a regulatory filing.

The Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania-based company is wholly owned by Dongwon Industries. (Yonhap)
