From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. Except as set forth below, we are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

On August 20, 2024, Matthew Atkinson, our former Chief Executive Officer and a significant stockholder, filed a complaint against our company in the District Court of Douglas County, Nebraska. In his complaint, he alleges that we failed to pay him compensation in the amount of $123,625.76, unreimbursed expenses of $1,815.25, and accrued and unpaid vacation in the amount of $6,153.84, or $131,594.85 in the aggregate. He alleges that we are obligated to pay him these amounts under an executive employment agreement between him and our company, and that he had become entitled to these amounts before he resigned his employment in February 2024. Based on these allegations, Mr. Atkinson asserts in his complaint causes of action for violation of the Nebraska Wage Payment and Collection Act, or the Act, breach of contract, and promissory estoppel. His complaints asks for a judgment that: (a) awards him damages in amount to be proved at trial but no less than $131,594.85, (b) assesses a penalty against our company pursuant to the Act in the amount of $263,189.70, and (c) awards Mr. Atkinson an amount for his reasonable costs and attorney’s fees incurred in litigating this matter and pre- and post-judgment interest.
