Shareholder Derivative Claims

In February 2016, a purported shareholder derivative complaint was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles: Zhou v. Sharng. In March 2016, a purported shareholder derivative complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California: Kleinfeldt v. Sharng. On November 10, 2017, the parties to both the Zhou and Kleinfeldt actions entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) to resolve both actions, subject to the negotiation of a written settlement agreement and approval by the federal court in the Kleinfeldt matter.  On July 16, 2018, the court granted final approval of the settlement and entered judgment in the Kleinfeldt matter.  In exchange for full releases, the settlement required the Company to implement certain corporate governance reforms and included an award of $250,000 in attorneys’ fees to plaintiffs’ counsel, all of which was fully funded by the Company’s insurers. On August 9, 2018, plaintiff filed a request to voluntarily dismiss the Zhou action, which was entered by the court on August 30, 2018.

Other Claims

The Company is currently involved in a legal matter with one of its vendors and an outside party. Per the royalty agreement with the vendor, the Company believes that it is fully indemnified in the event of an unfavorable outcome and any potential settlement costs related to the matter would be fully covered by the Company’s vendor.
