Filing text
View original ↗Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 14, 2020 contains material omissions and
materially misleading statements in connection with the acquisition of Northern Panther Resources Corporation (“Northern
Panther and such acquisition, the Merger”) and the related financing transactions and that the Directors breached their
duty by failing to disclose the required information in the proxy statement. The complaint seeks to enjoin the Company from taking
any actions that would allow the issuances of shares of the Company’s common stock upon the conversion of Series H Convertible
Preferred Stock, Series I Convertible Preferred Stock and exercise of certain warrants, all of which were previously issued in
connection with the Merger and the related financing or, in the event that the proposed share issuances are consummated,
seeks a judgment for damages. The complaint alleges that the proxy statement failed to disclose, among other things, (i) the background
process leading up to the Merger and related transactions, (ii) the discussion of due diligence undertaken by the Company and
financial analysis prepared in connection with the Merger, (iv) the discussion of the Company’s financial advisor and the
fairness opinion delivered by the financial advisor in connection with the Merger, and (v) a summary of financial projections
prepared by the Company in connection with the share issuances.
The Company believes that the suit is without merit and intends
to defend vigorously against the suit. The proposals put forth in the proxy statement seek approval of the issuances or potential
issuances of shares of the Company’s common stock upon the conversion or exercise, as applicable, of the securities previously
issued to Northern Panther in connection with the Merger or investors in a related private placement, and not of the Merger itself,
which were consummated on August 11, 2020. As such, Plaintiff’s requested additional disclosures mentioned above, including
the disclosure about the fairness opinion, are neither relevant nor materially related to the matters put forth in the proxy statement
for the shareholders’ approval.
