Nixxy, Inc.

From time to time, we may be a party to, or otherwise involved in, legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. The nature of our business ordinarily results in a certain amount of pending as well as threatened claims, litigation, investigations, regulatory and legal and administrative cases, matters and proceedings, all of which are considered incidental to the normal conduct of business. When we determine that we have meritorious defenses to the claims asserted, we vigorously defend ourselves. We consider settlement of cases when, in management’s judgment, it is in the best interests of both the Company and its shareholders to do so.

We are currently pursuing two related collections matters against BKR Strategy Group. Since 2013, BKR Strategy Group has provided talent acquisition strategy and services to top companies. Starting in the third quarter of 2021, BKR Strategy Group subcontracted Recruiter.com to perform on Demand recruiter services on behalf of BKR Strategy Group’s clients. Although payments for services rendered were initially received in a timely fashion, BKR Strategy Group’s balance grew throughout the third and fourth quarters of 2021. This led to BKR Strategy Group executing a Promissory Note with a payment schedule for $500,000 on November 30, 2021, with a personal guarantee from its business principal as part of the note. After failing to meet the payment schedule and after repeated attempts to collect the balance due, we retained the law firm of Berkovitch & Bouskila, PLLC and filed two lawsuits against BKR Strategy Group on February 18, 2022, the first, to collect on unpaid invoices and the second, to enforce the promissory note, for a total sum of $1,400,000. On March 24, 2022, BKR Strategy Group made a counterclaim against us for $500,000 on the grounds of alleged overbilling. Management denies the basis for the counterclaim and expects to vigorously defend itself from this counterclaim. Outside counsel for the company has advised that at this stage in the proceedings, it cannot offer an opinion as to the probable outcome. As it is not possible to estimate if a loss will be incurred, there has been no accrual.

On June 21, 2022, the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County ruled in favor of the Company that BKR Strategy Group owes the Company $500,000, plus interest at 12% since November 22, 2021, through the entry of judgement in the lawsuit related to the enforcement on the Promissory Note executed by BKR Strategy Group. Proceedings in the other lawsuit remain ongoing. The Company has been unable to collect against BKR Strategy Group due to lack of response and communication.

The Company is currently evaluating the complaint with counsel and intends to vigorously defend against the claims. Given the early stage of the litigation, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of the case or estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any.

("CAB"), as documented in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara, case number 24CV433086.

CAB seeks recovery of the owed amounts, interest, attorney fees, costs, and other damages deemed appropriate by the court. The Company is currently in ongoing legal communications about the complaint and intends to defend itself vigorously. At this stage, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of the case or estimate the potential financial impact.

November 20, 2024, Recruiter.com Inc. has been named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed by HireTeammate, Inc. (d/b/a hireEZ) in the Supreme Court of New York. The lawsuit alleges that Recruiter.com breached a contract by failing to pay for platform management services provided by hireEZ between December 12, 2022, and January 31, 2023. The total amount claimed is $79,388.39, along with interest and legal costs. The complaint includes claims for breach of contract, account stated, and unjust enrichment. Recruiter.com is evaluating its legal options in response to the lawsuit. All operation related invoices and activities was passed on to Job Mobz. Therefore, the management do not believe that Nixxy is liable for the amount stated and we will defend our position in the court of law.
