Material Changes
The material change reported is the dismissal of a lawsuit filed against the Company and its officers/directors. On November 17, 2021, the 126th Judicial District Court of Travis County, Texas, granted the Company's motion to dismiss the case with prejudice to refiling in the State of Texas. The dismissal was based on a mandatory forum-selection clause in the Company's Articles of Incorporation requiring claims to be filed in Delaware Chancery Court.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
- Litigation Status: The lawsuit, originally filed on December 17, 2019, alleged that early investors were improperly subjected to a 180-day "lock up" period and sought damages due to a stock price drop during that time.
- Outcome: The Texas court dismissed the case, effectively removing the claim from that jurisdiction. The filing does not state if the plaintiffs intend to refile in Delaware or if the matter is fully resolved.
- Management Commentary: No forward-looking guidance or general management commentary on operations is included in this specific filing.
Key Facts for Investor Verification
- Verify if Plaintiffs have refiled the lawsuit in Delaware Chancery Court as required by the forum-selection clause.
- Confirm the current status of the case in Delaware to assess any remaining legal contingencies or potential liability.
- Review the Company's Articles of Incorporation to understand the scope of the forum-selection clause.
