REVELATION BIOSCIENCES INC

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

On February 18, 2022, LifeSci Capital LLC filed an action against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York seeking damages in the amount of approximately $5.3 million plus interest for unpaid banking and advisory fees. These fees arise under contracts which were entered into prior to the Business Combination and the Company has asserted that LifeSci Capital LLC is not entitled to the fee because it violated its responsibilities by misrepresenting to Petra the funds that would be available following the Business Combination, absent which Petra would not have entered into the Business Combination Agreement. This action remains pending as of the date of this report. $1.5 million of the claim relates to deferred underwriting commissions from the Petra initial public offering, which are recorded as a current liability in the financial statements as of September 30, 2022 under deferred underwriting commissions. On December 1, 2023 a Magistrate Judge issued a report recommending summary judgment in favor of LifeSci Capital LLC. On December 15, 2023, the Company filed objections to the Magistrate’s report asserting that the Magistrate Judge made factual determinations not appropriate for summary judgment and misapplied the law. The Magistrate’s report is a recommendation to the trial judge who is responsible for reviewing the case de novo. Other than the deferred underwriting commissions, no liabilities are reflected in the financial statements as the amount of any additional liability cannot be determined at this time.

On September 27, 2022, A-IR Clinical Research Ltd. (“A-IR”) filed a claim against the Company in the High Court of Justice, in the Business and Property Courts of England and Wales, seeking £1.6 million in unpaid invoices, plus interest and costs, relating to the Company’s viral challenge study. The Company had disputed the claim because many of the invoices relate to work that was not performed and A-IR had misrepresented its qualifications to perform the contracted work. On April 26, 2024 the parties settled the claim and the proceedings were withdrawn with prejudice.
