Legal &amp; Other On March 2, 2015, the Company, the Companys CEO and the Companys CFO at the time were named in a civil complaint filed by Erick Rodriguez (the Rodriguez Matter) in the District Court in Clark County, Nevada (the DCCC). The complaint alleges that Mr. Rodriguez never received 250,000 shares of Series B preferred stock that were initially approved by the Board of Directors in 2012, subject to the completion of a merger of a company controlled by Mr. Rodriguez. Since the merger was never completed, the shares were never certificated to Mr. Rodriguez. On March 21, 2017, the DCC agreed to Set Aside the Entry of Default against the Defendants. Mr. Rodriguez resigned in June 2013. On April 12, 2018, an Arbitrator issued a final award to Rodriguez in the amount of $399,291. The Company and the Companys counsel believe the Arbitrator denied a number of detailed objections to the award, which cited clear mistakes as to Nevada law and to the facts. The Company has retained a Nevada attorney who is an expert in fighting attempts to convert arbitration awards into judgments in Nevada courts, to work with our arbitration counsel. On May 3, 2018, the Arbitrator issued an amended final award of $631,537, inclusive of interest and legal fees. The Company recorded a loss of $232,246 on the legal matter, included in other expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. On September 13, 2018, the motion to vacate the award was denied. On December 10, 2018, the parties agreed to a confidential settlement on the matter. On May 6, 2016, the Company, B. Michael Freidman and Barry Hollander (former CFO) were named as defendants in a Summons/Complaint filed by Justin Braune (the Plaintiff) in Palm Beach County Civil Court, Florida (the PBCCC). The complaint alleges that Mr. Braune was entitled to shares of common stock of the Company. On December 5, 2016, the PBCCC set aside a court default that had been previously issued. The defendants have answered the complaint, including the defenses that Mr. Braune advised the Companys transfer agent and the Company in his letter of resignation dated November 4, 2015, clearly stating that he has relinquished all shares of common stock. The Company has filed a counterclaim suit against the Plaintiff, as well as sanctions against the Plaintiff and their counsel.
