On July 17, 2013, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Aero Metal Products, Inc., received a summons and complaint filed by Aero, Inc. in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Erie. Aero, Inc. is owned by the wife of a former officer and director of Servotronics. The complaint alleges various causes of action arising out of a Personal Property Lease and Real Property Lease between Aero Metal Products, Inc. and Aero, Inc. See Note 4, Property, Plant and Equipment, and Note 6, Capital Lease – Related Party, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the entry into and subsequent termination of these leases. The Company believes that the litigation is without merit and intends to defend against it vigorously. See also Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the litigation.

In August 2013, Nicholas D. Trbovich, Jr., a former officer and director of Servotronics, commenced an arbitration proceeding against the Company in connection with the termination of his employment agreement effective October 20, 2012. The Company believes that the claims raised by Mr. Trbovich, Jr. are without merit and intends to defend against them vigorously. See Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the termination of the employment agreement.

There are no other legal proceedings which are material to the Company currently pending by or against the Company other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business which is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the business or earnings of the Company.
