Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
India Proceeding Involving Giri Devanur
In 2006, Mr. Devanur became the CEO of an India-based company named Gandhi City Research Park, Private Limited (“Gandhi City Research Park”). Gandhi City Research Park was liquidated as a result of the Lehman Brothers collapse in 2009. In 2010, an investor in Gandhi City Research Park filed a fraud complaint with the Cubbon Park Police Station in Bengaluru, India, against, among others, Mr. Devanur. In 2014, the Cubbon Park Police dismissed all claims. Subsequently, in 2015 the investor appealed the Cubbon Park Police’s decision before the Lower Court. In November 2018, the Lower Court issued a criminal summons against, among others, Mr. Devanur. Mr. Devanur petitioned the High Court to quash the summons. By order dated March 27, 2023, the High Court granted Mr. Devanur’s petition and ordered the Lower Court to reconsider the investor’s appeal. On August 3, 2023, the Lower Court decided to uphold the Cubbon Park Police’s decision and close the criminal case against Mr. Devanur. On December 4, 2023, Mr. Devanur received a petition to challenge the Lower Court’s order to uphold the Cubbon Park Police’s decision and close Mr. Devanur’s criminal case. We intend to vigorously contest this petition.
Malpractice Lawsuit
On July 13, 2023, the Company filed a complaint in Franklin County, Ohio, against Buchanan, Ingersoll & Rooney, PC (“Buchanan”), Rajiv Khanna (“Khanna”) and Brian S. North (“North,” together with Buchanan and Khanna, the “Buchanan Legal Counsel”). The complaint alleges that the Buchanan Legal Counsel failed to provide proper and timely legal advice during the Company’s Tier 2 Regulation A offering, resulting in late Blue Sky notice filings with all required states prior to the Company offering and selling securities in those states. As a result, the Company was subject to a number of inquiries, investigations, and subpoenas by the various states, incurring significant legal fees and fines, lost opportunity due to pausing its Regulation A campaign, in addition to the loss of a $20 million institutional investment. The Company is seeking the forfeit of all legal fees associated with this matter, the award of legal fees to bring this matter to action, and further legal and equitable relief as the Court deems just and proper. In response to the counterclaims filed by the Buchanan Legal Counsel on August 16, 2023, the Company has denied the allegations made therein, asserting that they lack merit and are either insufficiently supported or entirely untrue. The Company contends that any damages claimed by the defendants arise from their own negligence and failure to meet their contractual obligations. At this time, the Company cannot predict the eventual scope, duration, or outcome of the lawsuit.
GEM Lawsuit
On November 1, 2024, we filed a lawsuit against GYBL in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Court”), claiming that GYBL operated as an unregistered broker-dealer under the Exchange Act. We are seeking to void the GEM Warrants, or alternatively, a declaratory judgment determining that the GEM Warrants’ terms govern the exercise price adjustment calculation rather than the related GEM Agreement’s terms. On January 17, 2025, GYBL moved to dismiss our complaint, and, on March 14, 2025, the Court granted GYBL’s motion to dismiss our complaint relating to the lawsuit against GYBL. We are currently evaluating the Court’s decision and all legal rights available to us, including, but not limited to, appealing the Court’s decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. There is no assurance that any such appeal would be successful.
Following the Court’s dismissal of our complaint, on March 19, 2025, GYBL commenced a separate action against us in the Court (the “GYBL Action”). The GYBL Action concerns the GEM Warrants, and it asserts two causes of action against us: (1) breach of the terms of the GEM Warrants, and (2) declaratory relief concerning the validity and enforceability of the GEM Warrants. In addition to the declaratory relief, GYBL is seeking monetary damages in an amount to be determined at trial, specific performance of the GEM Warrants and attorneys’ fees and litigation costs. We intend to vigorously defend against GYBL’s claims and litigate our legal rights to the fullest extent.
