Item 5. Other Events

 

On March 12, 2004, Boston Life Sciences, Inc. announced that a lawsuit recently filed by Robert L. Gipson, Thomas A. Boucher, and Ingalls & Snyder against BLSI and its directors, which challenged the Company’s recent Series E Preferred Stock financing, had been dismissed in the Delaware Court of Chancery. Boston Life Sciences had recently asked the court to dismiss the lawsuit because it lacked any factual basis and ignored fundamental principles of law. Instead of responding, the plaintiffs moved to dismiss their own lawsuit without prejudice on March 9, 2004, just three days before the deadline to explain to the court why their claim was legitimate. The Delaware Court of Chancery immediately granted the motion and dismissed the case.
