STEPHENSON SETTLEMENT

 

In July 2021, the Company entered into a settlement agreement regarding the Stephenson legal dispute which settled all matters between the Company and the former owners of the Mission entities. The agreement provided for the full payment of all amounts due to the Company and allowed the Stephensons to sell the shares subject to a leak-out period. The agreement was filed with the Court and a settlement payment of approximately $905,000 which was recognized in the three months ending September 30, 2021. In addition to this cash settlement, the Company also reversed approximately $133,000 in accruals relating to the Stephensons which was recorded as other income.

Other than the foregoing, no material legal proceedings to which the Company (or any officer or director of the Company, or any affiliate, to management’s knowledge) is party to or to which the property of the Company is subject is pending, and no such material proceeding is known by management of the Company to be contemplated.

 

MVRK SETTLEMENT

 

Mission Culture, LLC recently settled a claim from a former vendor, Maverick, LLC (“MVRK”) associated with certain services purportedly provided.  Mission Culture, LLC and MVRK counsel have agreed to settle the claim for $110,000 with an upfront payment of $70,000 paid at signature and the remainder paid in four monthly installments of $10,000.  The parties are in the process of drafting the settlement documents and the Company has fully accrued the settlement in the six months ending December 31, 2021.

 

LA BREA LEASE AGREEMENT

 

The Company was contacted by counsel representing the landlord of Troika Design’s former La Brea office lease in Los Angeles regarding the amounts due under the lease. The Company is reviewing the claims and assessing the amount due under the lease although an exact figure cannot be ascertained at this time due to potential mitigating factors.

 

The Company has currently accrued approximately $883,000 related to this matter. Counsel has advised the accrual of an additional $700,000 as the total estimated liability is approximately $1.6M related to the Troika Design Group, Inc. subsidiary’s former lease.  Management believes the Company can settle the matter for less due to current conditions and outside counsel for the Company has advised that a settlement amount below the currently accrued for amount is likely.
