Litigation

 

On October 25, 2010, a Complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan by The Sandesh Limited, a company incorporated in the Republic of India, against the Company, RBL and a former employee. The Plaintiff alleges that as a condition to their purchase of 1,200,000 shares of the common stock of the Company, the Plaintiff had the right to require the Defendants to repurchase all or any portion of the shares. Plaintiffs also allege that a subsequent agreement was entered into with RBL, whereby RBL would purchase the Plaintiff’s 1,200,000 shares of common stock.  Plaintiff further alleges that this repurchase also did not occur and that the Defendants breached other terms of the agreements. Plaintiffs are seeking the return of $1,200,000 and additional unspecified amounts as compensatory, actual and punitive and/or exemplary damages, restitution for unjust enrichment, prejudgment interest, attorney’s fees and costs and other relief as the court deems appropriate.
