Litigation, Management Commentary, and Risks
- The Israeli claim relates to allegations stemming from a 2015 consulting agreement between the plaintiff and NanoX Gibraltar.
- In the prior U.S. lawsuit, filed on October 28, 2021, the plaintiff sought approximately $1 million in unpaid consulting fees and approximately $29.5 million from Nano-X relating to claimed entitlement to NanoX Gibraltar warrants.
- Nano-X moved to dismiss the U.S. complaint on February 15, 2022. The court granted dismissal with leave to amend on June 3, 2022; after no amendment was filed, the case was dismissed on July 19, 2022, without leave to amend and without prejudice to filing in a proper jurisdiction.
- Nano-X states that it was not a party to the consulting agreement, that its management had no connection with or knowledge of the plaintiff, and that Nano-X is not responsible for potential liabilities of NanoX Gibraltar, a separate legal entity.
- The company is reviewing the Israeli claim and intends to vigorously defend itself. It characterizes the allegations as baseless and states that it remains confident in its legal position.
