The information contained in the letter is summary information that is intended to be considered in the context of our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings and other public announcements that we may make, by press release or otherwise, from time to time. The letter does not provide information concerning our financial condition with respect to any period subsequent to the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024. To the extent that estimates or targets have been provided concerning subsequent quarters or years, these reflect statements that have previously been made in our securities filings. We undertake no duty or obligation to publicly update or revise the information contained in this presentation, although we may do so from time to time. Any such updating may be made through the filing of other reports or documents with the SEC, through press releases or through other public disclosure. In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information furnished pursuant to Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1 furnished herewith, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

In January 2022, the Company terminated its agreement with Scarola Schaffzib Zubatov PLLC (“SSZ”), which the Company had retained to represent it in certain litigation. The reason for the termination was that the Company believed that SSZ had overcharged for legal services provided. Subsequent to the termination, SSZ sent the Company additional invoices, to which the Company also objected. In August 2022 SZZ filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, claiming it was owed approximately $120,000 in legal fees. The Company disputed that this amount was owed, and contended that a portion of the legal fees previously paid should be refunded. On July 11, 2023 the Court granted SSZ’s motion for summary judgement on its account stated cause of action and denied the Company’s cross-motion for an adjournment of the motion pending discovery. On February 15, 2024, the Company entered into a settlement and release agreement with SSZ pursuant to which the Company paid SSZ $ 110,442.17 in full settlement of the lawsuit. This amount was in addition to a partial payment of $40,142 made in January 2024. The parties also executed mutual general releases and agreed to dismiss the lawsuit within five business days.
