Apologies can be part of a settlement. The settlement terms can be practically anything the 2 sides agree to, as long as the terms are legal. It is the trial verdict that can't impose terms like that. A guilty verdict imposes financial fines, but the law does not stipulate things like apologies as a penalty.

Usual disclaimers about not being a lawyer.
