On January 23, 2019, we filed a defamation lawsuit in the New York Supreme Court, New York County, against Hindenburg Research, Nathan Anderson, ClaritySpring Securities, LLC and ClaritySpring Inc. (collectively, “Defendants”) in response to their coordinated and orchestrated market manipulation scheme to disseminate false, misleading and defamatory content to the marketplace regarding the Company for the purpose of inflicting substantial reputational harm on us for Defendants’ own financial gain. The impetus for the action was a false, misleading and defamatory unsigned article published on December 6, 2018 through one of the Defendants’ aliases, “Hindenburg Research,” which erroneously accused us of making fraudulent misrepresentations in our public filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or intentionally omitting material information in those filings, laundering money through sham transactions for the benefit of our Chief Executive Officer, and being ensnared in a catastrophic liquidity crisis rendering the Company worthless. An amended complaint, substantially similar to the initial complaint, was filed on January 25, 2019. Service was effectuated on the Defendants on January 29, 2019, who moved to dismiss the case. The Defendants’ motion is currently pending before the Court and is returnable on June 5, 2019. Discovery is stayed pending resolution of the motion.
