NOTE 16 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On or about July 25, 2019, Mark Rubenstein, individually and as a shareholder of the Company, brought the action styled Rubenstein v. Siokas, et al., Case No. 1:19-cv-06976-KPF (S.D.N.Y.) against Grigorios Siokas for recovery of alleged profits earned under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Although recovery was sought only from Mr. Siokas, the Company was also named as a nominal defendant. Both the Company and Mr. Siokas vigorously defended the lawsuit. On or about September, 18, 2020, in an effort to avoid the uncertainty of litigation and further legal expense, Mr. Siokas agreed to settle the lawsuit by agreeing to reimburse the Company a total of six hundred thousand ($600,000) dollars, payable as a combination of: (1) Mr. Siokas reimbursing the Company for Plaintiff’s attorneys’ fees, in an amount subsequently determined by the Court to be $120,000 plus $4,137 of litigation costs to be paid in cash, and (2) Mr. Siokas relieving the Company of certain debt owed to him. The terms of the settlement between Mr. Siokas and the Company are set forth in a Debt Exchange Agreement dated May 10, 2021 filed as an exhibit to this Form 10-Q. Mr. Siokas and the Company strongly opposed Plaintiff’s motion for attorneys’ fees.
