On February 8, 2023, Oasis Capital, LLC (“Oasis”) filed a complaint against the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York seeking damages (i) in the amount of $764,647.53 in for an alleged breach of the terms of the 8% senior convertible note and the securities purchase agreement entered into between Oasis and the Company in connection with the Note (as defined below), which in December 2021 was increased to $600,000 in principal amount (the “Note”) and (ii) an unspecified amount of damage for an alleged breach of the exclusivity provisions of a term sheet that the Company and Oasis entered into on July 7, 2022 plus an actual damages in an amount to be proven at trial, interest and costs, reasonable attorney’s fees and such other legal and equitable relief as the court deems just and proper. On June 30, 2023, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York granted the Company’s motion to dismiss this complaint but with leave to amended complaint. On July 31, 2023 Oasis filed an amended complaint against the Company and its Chief Executive Officer, Mike Ballardie, seeking damages in an amount to be proven at trial, interest and costs for breach of fiduciary duty and violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. The Company believes the claims made in the amended complaint are without merit and the Company and Mike Ballardie are vigorously defending itself.

 

Except for the Oasis lawsuit against Mike Ballardie, we know of no pending proceedings to which any director, member of senior management, or affiliate is either a party adverse to us or has a material interest adverse to us.

 

 

Nasdaq Compliance

 

On July 26, 2023, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq indicating that the Company’s stockholders’ equity as reported in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended January 31, 2023 did not satisfy the continued listing requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires that a listed company’s stockholders’ equity be at least $2.5 million (the “Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”). As reported in its Form 10-Q for the period ended January 31, 2023, the Company’s stockholders’ equity as of January 31, 2023 was approximately $(11.7) million. In addition, the Company did not meet the alternatives of listed securities or net income from continuing operations as of the date of the letter. The Nasdaq has given the Company until January 22, 2024 to regain compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement and net income from continuing operations requirement.

 

The Company offers no assurance that it will regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule, the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement and/or any other delinquency in a timely manner.
