Note 6 – Commitments and Contingencies

 

As of September 30, 2021, there were no material changes to the Company’s legal matters and other contingencies disclosed in the Note 6 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in our 2020 Form 10-K, except for the following:

 

Stockholder Litigation and Business Combination Litigation

 

With respect to the Stockholder Litigation (as defined and described in Note 6 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in our 2020 Form 10-K, on March 4, 2021, Stanislav Royzenshteyn and Roman Gerashenko (together, the “Founder Stockholders”) filed a motion to preserve various causes of action related to the Business Combination and the claims for indemnification. That motion was denied without prejudice on June 22, 2021.

 

On June 18, 2021, the Founder Stockholders filed a “Supplemental Complaint” in the Stockholder Litigation related to the indemnification claims. The clerk of the court dismissed their Supplemental Complaint because the court did not grant leave to file a supplemental complaint. The Founder Stockholders filed a motion objecting to the order denying their motion to preserve claims for future litigation and have asked the Special Master to opine on the Supplemental Complaint and to preserve those claims.

 

Onyx Enterprises Canada Inc. and its principals filed a motion for summary judgment seeking dismissal of all of the claims brought by the Founder Stockholders, which motion was heard on February 19, 2021. On August 31, 2021, the court issued an order granting in part and denying in part the motion for summary judgment, by which order eight claims were dismissed and seven claims were preserved. Pursuant to the court’s opinion, all of the derivative claims brought by the plaintiffs against the Company were dismissed. The only remaining claim against the Company is the defendants’ claim for indemnification.
