NOTE 9 — LITIGATION SETTLEMENT

 

On January 21, 2009, The Armored Group (“TAG”) filed a complaint against the Company in the Superior Court of the State of Arizona in and for the County of Maricopa alleging breach of oral contract, unjust enrichment, and other claims which complaint was removed to the United States District Court for the District of Arizona.  Among other claims, TAG alleged that, under either an oral agreement between it and the Company or the claim of unjust enrichment, the Company has an obligation to pay to TAG a 10% commission on all sales of armored vehicles to the United States Department of State under a contract with the United States Department of State providing for up to $98,000,000 in sales.

 

Due to the inherent nature of litigation, and the uncertainty surrounding the ultimate outcome of this case, on May 25, 2011, the Company and TAG signed a Civil Settlement Agreement under the terms of which this lawsuit was dismissed and the Company agreed to: (i) pay to TAG the cash sum of $1,100,000 ($400,000 paid on May 26, 2011, and the balance of $700,000 payable over the next twelve months in the principal amount of $58,333 per month plus accrued interest at 5.75% simple interest); and (ii) issue and deliver to TAG on June 8, 2011, 350,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and an additional 350,000 shares on January 15, 2012 for a total cost of $3,284,000.  Of this amount, $1,784,000 is reflected as legal settlement and related costs in the current Statement of Operations and $1,500,000 was applied against the accrual established in a prior period.  The fair value of the shares was based on the closing stock price on May 25, 2011.  Under the terms of the Civil Settlement Agreement, TAG is restricted from selling more than 50,000 shares during any thirty-day period, and the Company is given the first right to purchase any shares that TAG wishes to sell.
