(“Ault”), one of the Company’s largest shareholders, filed a derivative shareholder action in Delaware Chancery Court against the Company, its Directors, and other Company shareholders (The Stingray Group, Inc. and Regalia Ventures) (“the Defendants”) for alleged breach of fiduciary duty in approving a recent above-market private placement equity transaction.

Based on the Company’s assessment of the facts underlying the claims, the uncertainty of the litigation and the preliminary stage of the case, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the potential loss or range of loss that may result from this action. The Company is involved in litigation arising from other matters in the ordinary course of business. The Company is subject to claims, suits and other proceedings that could result in fines, civil penalties, or other adverse consequences. The Company records a liability when it believes that it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the Company determines that a loss is reasonably possible and the loss or range of loss can be estimated, the Company discloses the reasonably possible loss. The Company evaluates developments in its legal matters that could affect the amount of liability that has been previously accrued, and the matters and related reasonably possible losses disclosed, and makes adjustments as appropriate. Significant judgment is required to determine both likelihood of there being and the estimated amount of a loss related to such matters. | NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Hospitality Lease On August 23, 2023, MICS NY entered into an Agreement of Lease (the “Lease Agreement”) with OAC 111 Flatiron, LLC and OAC Adelphi, LLC (the “Landlord”), pursuant to which MICS NY agreed to lease approximately 10,000 square feet of ground floor retail space and a portion of the basement underneath the ground floor retail space in the property located at 111 West 24th Street, New York, New York (the “Premises”).

(“Ault”), one of the Company’s largest shareholders, filed a derivative shareholder action in Delaware Chancery Court against the Company, its Directors, and other Company shareholders (The Stingray Group, Inc. and Regalia Ventures) (“the Defendants”) for alleged breach of fiduciary duty in approving a recent above-market private placement equity transaction.
