settlement gain
Explanation:
According to Juridisk ordbog (Helle Pals Frandsen):
Danish "afregning" = English "settlement"

Example:
"If Company X paid Company Y $5 million to settle the supply contract absent a business combination, any difference between the carrying amount of Company X's liability, if any, related to its unfavorable supply contract and the amount paid would be recognized as a settlement gain or loss."
