Other Events. On January 18, 2011, the Delaware Court of Chancery approved the settlement of two previously filed and later consolidated derivative actions (the Berkowitz and Pinchuk actions) against two current and one former director of Emerson Radio Corp. (the “Company”) in which it was alleged that the named defendants violated their fiduciary duties to the Company in connection with a number of related party transactions with affiliates of The Grande Holdings, Ltd., the Company’s controlling shareholder. As approved, the settlement calls for the payment to the Company by or on behalf of the defendants of the sum of $3.0 million and the continuation of a number of previously adopted corporate governance reforms. As part of the settlement, counsel for the plaintiffs requested an award payable out of the settlement proceeds of $1.5 million on account of legal services rendered and costs and expenses incurred. The Company objected to an award of that amount as being excessive. The Court reserved judgment on the amount of the award of fees and expenses and advised the litigants that it was likely that a ruling thereon would be made within the next 90 days.
