ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

We may be subject to litigation from stockholders, suppliers and other third parties from time to time. Such litigation may have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations, may be costly to defend, or may cause disruptions to our operations. As discussed in more detail below, Knighted Pastures, LLC (“Knighted”) recently filed a complaint against, among other defendants, us and the members of our Board of Directors. We are incurring additional costs to defend such litigation and it may continue to cause our management to divert attention and resources from our business operations. In addition, the complaint states that Knighted seeks to nominate directors to AGAE’s Board and effect certain changes with respect to the business and management of AGAE. In the event directors nominated by Knighted are elected to our board of directors, such directors may disagree with the strategic directions of the Company or otherwise take actions that may adversely affect the interest of our shareholders.

Knighted Pastures, LLC

On March 7, 2024, Knighted Pastures, LLC (“Knighted”), an AGAE stockholder, filed a complaint captionedKnighted Pastures, LLC v. Yangyang Li, et al., C.A. No. 2024-0222 in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against us, the members of our Board of Directors, and certain additional defendants (the “Knighted Action”). The complaint alleges, among other things, that the members of our Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duty in connection with (1) the approval of a Share Purchase Agreement that AGAE entered into on or around December 28, 2023, (2) the approval and adoption of certain amendments to AGAE’s Bylaws on or around January 5, 2024, and (3) the approval and adoption of a rights agreement on or around February 8, 2024. The Knighted Action sought both injunctive reliefs and money damages.

On June 20, 2024, following expedited discovery and entry of resolutions by the Board of Directors addressing issues raised by the Knighted Action, the Court of Chancery entered an Order granting in part the Company and Board of Directors’ motion to dismiss the Knighted Action as moot. The Court therefore cancelled the trial in the Knighted Action. The Court ordered the parties to submit further filings on Knighted’s claim for attorneys’ fees and costs and any other issues required to bring the Knighted Action to a final conclusion. On August 2, 2024, Knighted filed a motion for an attorney’s fee award based on the purported corporate benefit its case provided to the Company and its other shareholders. The Company intends to oppose the motion in its entirety.
