Following the May 18, 2020 resignation of Jennifer Simpson, the Company’s former President and Chief Executive Officer, and Barbra Keck, the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer (the “Claimants”), it became evident that there was a dispute regarding the Company’s compensation obligations to the Claimants. In a letter dated, June 29, 2020, an attorney representing the Claimants made certain claims and threatened litigation against the Company. On or about July 27, 2020, the Claimants filed a statement of claim with the American Arbitration Association against the Company. The Claimants seek payment of certain purported unpaid compensation amounts claimed to be due to them, in an approximate amount of $1.14 million in the aggregate, as well as unspecified statutory damages under New York Labor Law, attorneys’ fees and costs, and statutory interest. The Company intends to defend the claims vigorously. As of June 30, 2020, the Company has accrued for the full purported unpaid compensation amounts.
