Outdoor Holding Co

From time to time, we are involved in various disputes, claims, suits, investigations and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including commercial, intellectual property, and employment-related matters, as well as stockholder derivative actions, class action lawsuits and other matters. The litigation matters described below involve issues or claims that may be of particular interest to our stockholders, regardless of whether any of these matters were material to our business or financial condition based upon the standard set forth in SEC rules. We believe we have substantial defenses in each unresolved matter, and we intend to vigorously defend against the claims brought by plaintiffs in the pending lawsuits.

On April 30, 2023, director and stockholder Steve Urvan filed suit in the Delaware Court of Chancery (the “Delaware Court”) against the Company, and certain Company directors, former directors, employees, former employees and consultants. Urvan’s claims include fraudulent inducement, unjust enrichment and violations of the Arizona Securities Act. The suit seeks a court order for partial rescission of the Company’s acquisition of GunBroker.com in April 2021 and compensatory damages of not less than $140 million. On August 1, 2023, the Company filed a separate lawsuit against Urvan in the Delaware Court alleging, among other things, that Urvan committed fraud in connection with the sale of GunBroker to the Company, and that Urvan breached his indemnification obligations to the Company after the sale. The Company timely responded to the Urvan complaint by filing a motion to dismiss. On September 11, 2023, the Delaware Court consolidated the Company’s lawsuit against Urvan with Urvan’s lawsuit against the Company and the individual defendants. On September 18, 2023, the Company filed an amended complaint that added a claim against Urvan for breach of the Arizona Securities Act. Urvan moved to dismiss the Company’s complaint in full. On December 18, 2023, the Delaware Court heard argument on the parties’ motions to dismiss in the consolidated action. On February 27, 2024, the Delaware Court issued an opinion resolving all pending motions to dismiss. The Delaware Court dismissed Urvan’s aiding and abetting claims against the individual defendants, but it declined to dismiss Urvan’s other claims against the individuals and declined to dismiss Urvan’s claims against the Company. The Delaware Court rejected Urvan’s motion to dismiss the Company’s claims against him in its entirety. The court scheduled the matter for a five-day trial in April 2026.

On January 18, 2024, Innovative Computer Professionals, Inc. d/b/a Digital Cash Processing (“DCP”) filed a civil action in Minnesota state court against Outdoors Online, LLC d/b/a Gunbroker.com for breach of contract (the “MN Action”). In the MN Action, DCP alleged that GunBroker.com breached a May 2021 contract, pursuant to which DCP was to provide specified digital payment processing services, and it alleged $100 million in damages. On February 7, 2024, GunBroker.com removed the MN Action to the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota (Case No. 24-CV-00373-DWF-DTS) ("Federal Action"). On February 14, 2024, GunBroker.com moved to dismiss the MN Action for lack of personal jurisdiction and for failure to adequately state a claim, or, in the alternative, to transfer the MN Action to the United States District Court for the District of Arizona (the “Motion”). The court denied the motion, after which GunBroker filed and Answer and counterclaims against DCP and certain individuals. GunBroker denies the allegations in the Federal Action and plans to vigorously defend against DCP's claims. The parties continue to participate in the discovery process. Pursuant to the case scheduling order, the matter is tentatively scheduled for trial around November of 2025.

In addition, we are involved in or subject to, or may become involved in or subject to, routine litigation, claims, disputes, proceedings and investigations in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of lawsuits and other proceedings against us cannot be predicted with certainty, in the opinion of management, individually or in the aggregate, no such lawsuits are expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We record accruals for contingencies when it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.
