NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Hospitality Lease

 

On August 23, 2023, MICS NY entered into an Agreement of Lease (the “Lease Agreement”) with OAC 111 Flatiron, LLC and OAC Adelphi, LLC (the “Landlord”), pursuant to which MICS NY agreed to lease approximately 10,000 square feet of ground floor retail space and a portion of the basement underneath the ground floor retail space in the property located at 111 West 24th Street, New York, New York (the “Premises”). It was the Company’s intention to use the Premises as a new karaoke venue, offering immersive karaoke technology and audio-visual capabilities, with restaurant and bar offerings however due to lack of funding, the Company initiated termination of the lease in March 2024 (See Note 8 - Operating Leases).

 

The term of the Lease Agreement is for fifteen (15) years, or on such an earlier date upon which the term shall expire, be canceled, or terminated pursuant to any of the conditions or covenants of the Lease Agreement. Pursuant to the Lease Agreement, MICS NY is obligated to pay an initial base rent in the amount of $30,000 beginning July 1, 2024, with scheduled increases over the term, as set forth in the Lease Agreement.

 

In March 2024, the Company initiated the termination of this lease under certain provisions made available under the Lease Agreement. The Landlord and the Company are in active discussions as to the terms of the lease termination however as of this filing, it is too early in the negotiation process to estimate any potential loss, if any, related to the lease termination process.

 

Derivative Litigation

 

On December 21, 2023, Ault Lending, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ault Alliance, Inc. (“Ault”), one of the Company’s largest shareholders, filed a derivative shareholder action in Delaware Chancery Court against the Company, its Directors, and other Company shareholders (The Stingray Group, Inc. and Regalia Ventures) (“the Defendants”) for alleged breach of fiduciary duty in approving a recent above-market private placement equity transaction. The Complaint alleges the Company, and its Directors followed an inadequate process in evaluating the private placement transaction which occurred back in November 2023 and entered into the transaction with an intent to dilute Ault’s ownership stake in the Company. The Defendants have retained Delaware counsel to represent them in this matter and the Company has filed a motion to dismiss the suit. The Company has Director & Officer liability insurance for up to $5,000,000 with a retention of $250,000 for derivative claims.
