Litigation

CFGI, LLC, a former provider of consulting services of the Company, served the Company with a lawsuit to collect approximately $200 owed by the Company to CFGI, LLC on September 9, 2016. The Company settled this matter for $150 and the case was dismissed.

Creditors Adjustment Bureau, Inc., a collection agency in California, has filed suit in Santa Clara County Superior Court (California) to collect an $84 debt assigned to it by Gigya Inc. The Company settled this matter for $55.
    
A Complaint (Index #654984/2016) was filed by Andy Mule, on behalf of himself and others similarly situated, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York. The Complaint, which names the Company, each of its current directors, and President, as a former director, as defendants, claims a breach of fiduciary duty relating to the terms of a proposed conversion of debt and preferred shares into common equity by Mr. Sillerman and/or his affiliates. The Complaint seeks unspecified damages and such relief as the Court may deem appropriate. The Company accepted service on October 4, 2016, and filed a motion to dismiss on November 14, 2016. The Company believes that this claim is without merit.

A Complaint (Case #8:16-cv-02101-DOC-JCG) was filed in the United States District Court, Central District of California, Southern Division by Stephan Wurth Photography, Inc. The Complaint, which names Wetpaint.com, Inc. and two former employees of Rant, Inc., claims copyright infringement relating to photographs of Anna Kournikova that first appeared on a Rant website some time ago and continued to appear after our purchase of Rant on July 8, 2016. We have not yet been served in this matter. If and when we are served, we intend to vigorously defend the matter.
The Company is subject to litigation and other claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. While the ultimate result of our outstanding legal matters cannot presently be determined, the Company does not expect that the ultimate disposition will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations or financial condition. However, legal matters are inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. As such, there can be no assurance that the final outcome will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.
