LEGAL PROCEEDINGS	Ken Link v. Wound Management Technologies, Inc., et al. On November 14, 2011, Ken Link instituted litigation against Wound Management Technologies, Inc. and Scott A. Haire in the District Court of Tarrant County Texas, Cause No. 342-256486-11 of the 342nd Judicial District, alleging default under the terms of a certain promissory note executed by Wound Management Technologies, Inc. and guaranteed by Scott A. Haire. Ken Link asserted at that point in time that the unpaid balance of the note, including accrued interest as of December 4, 2011 was the sum of $355,292, Mr. Link asserted that he was entitled to receive 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Mr. Link is also seeking attorney’s fees. Mr. Link is also seeking interest at 13% per annum, plus $1,000 per day. We have disputed the claim, because we believe the contract is tainted by usury, and therefore, a usury counterclaim will more than offset the unpaid balance of the promissory note. The note, in the original principal amount of $223,500, required the payment of interest accrued at 13% per annum, an additional one-time charge of $20,000 due on maturity, the issuance of 200,000 shares of stock as interest, and a $1,000 per day late fee for each day the principal and interest is late. It is our contention that these sums make the contract usurious and the usury claims more than offset the amount of the unpaid indebtedness. Furthermore, we have filed an action for recovery of damages for usury under the Texas Finance Code for a note which was previously executed by the Company and payable to Ken Link, which was in fact paid to Mr. Link in full. In addition, Wound Management is seeking recovery of attorney’s fees pursuant to the usury provisions of the Texas Finance Code. While the amount of the promissory note remains unpaid, the counterclaims more than offset the maximum amount that could be asserted on the promissory note. The case was set for trial for the week of October 21, 2013, but after three (3) days of trial before a jury, the judge declared a mistrial. The case was subsequently reset for trial for the week of December 1, 2014 and the judge again declared a mistrial. The case is currently set for trial the week of May 15, 2017. Subsequent to October 21, 2013, Ken Link amended his pleadings and alleges that Wound Management Technologies, Inc. never intended to pay the $223,500 promissory note and sought damages for fraud and the loss of the benefit of the bargain relating to the shares of stock, plus interest as set forth in the note, exemplary damages, and attorney's fees. On September 4, 2015, Ken Link again amended his pleadings once again seeking the sums he says are owed to him that were advanced to him in the amount of $223,500. It is unclear if he is suing on the note or not, but it appears he is. We are taking steps to vigorously defend this matter, however, we are unable at this time to determine the ultimate outcome of this matter or determine the effect it may have on our business, financial condition or result of operations. Wound Management Technologies, Inc. v. Fox Lake Animal Hospital, PSP: Wound Management Technologies, Inc. instituted litigation in Cause No. 96-263918-13 in the 96th District Court of Tarrant County, Texas against Fox Lake Animal Hospital, PSP and Bohdan Rudawksi, Trustee of the Fox Lake Animal Hospital, PSP. The cause of action asserts that the loan transaction between Wound Management Technologies, Inc. and Fox Lake Animal Hospital PSP involved the collection of illegal usurious interest for the reason that while the face amount of the promissory note is $39,000, but the loan actually loaned for a 6-month period was $25,000, resulting in an interest rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted by the Texas Finance Code. Wound Management Technologies, Inc. is seeking to recover the penalties authorized by the Texas Finance Code, together with the attorney’s fees. Fox Lake Animal Hospital and Bohdan Rudawski, Trustee have filed a counterclaim where they allege there were misrepresentations by Wound Management Technologies, Inc. that would be excuse them from having to pay penalties under the Texas Finance Code for charging usurious interest. Fox Lake Animal Hospital and Bohdan Rudawski, Trustee further claim that actions asserted violates the Federal Securities Exchange Act and alleged fraud and fraud in the inducement in entering into the promissory note. In the opinion of counsel, the counterclaim is without merit. Wound Management Technologies, Inc. will pursue this case to final judgment. Wound Management Technologies, Inc. v. Bohdan Rudawski: Wound Management Technologies, Inc. instituted litigation in Cause No. 352-263856-13 in the 352nd District Court of Tarrant County, Texas against Bohdan Rudawksi. The case has been postponed until September of 2016. The cause of action asserts that the loan transaction between Wound Management Technologies, Inc. and Bohdan Rudawski involved the collection of illegal usurious interest for the reason that while the face amount of the promissory note is $156,000, but the loan actually loaned for a 6-month period was $100,000, charging an effective interest rate of over 100% which violates the provisions of the Texas Finance Code. Wound Management Technologies, Inc. is seeking to recover the penalties authorized by the Texas Finance Code, together with the attorney’s fees. Bohdan Rudawski has filed an answer and alleges there was not an absolute obligation to repay the note, attempting to defeat the usury claim. Bohdan Rudawski has further asserted that the claims violate the Federal Securities Exchange Act and allege fraud of inducement in entering into the promissory note. In the opinion of counsel, that counter-claim is without merit. Wound Management Technologies, Inc. will pursue this case to final judgment. The 352nd Judicial District Court entered an order in December, 2016 consolidating the Bohdan Rudawski case and the Fox Lake Animal Hospital case into the 352nd Court case. This case is currently set for trial for the week of June 19, 2017. Wound Management Technologies, Inc. v. Bohdan Rudawski: Wound Management Technologies, Inc. instituted litigation in Cause No. 352-263856-13 in the 352nd District Court of Tarrant County, Texas against Bohdan Rudawksi.
