Legal Matters

 

A complaint against us, dated February 5, 2020, has been filed in Hennepin County, Minnesota, by Jean Mork Bredeson, the former President and former owner of Service 800, making certain claims related to the Company’s acquisition of Service 800, seeking in excess of $1.6 million in damages. The Company believes these claims to be unfounded and the Company is continuing to vigorously defend itself against this lawsuit. On March 16, 2020, the Company and Service 800 filed an answer, counterclaim and third-party claim against Ms. Bredeson and defendants Allen Bredeson and Jeff Schwedinger, former employees of Service 800.

  

In 2008 the Company filed suit against its former co-founder, President, Chief Executive Officer George Pursglove for breach of confidentiality and non-compete while employed and also postemployment, breach of fiduciary duty and other matters, and the Company was seeking to enforce certain non-compete agreements.  The former CEO subsequently counter-sued the Company for breach of contract, breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and other matters.  The former CEO was seeking to be awarded $75,000 in cash plus at least 3.3 million shares of stock of the Company.  On July 28, 2011, the Company received a jury verdict ordering and adjudging in Case Number 2:08-cv-00496-KJD-LRL where BOOMj.com was the Plaintiff and the former CEO was the Defendant & Counterclaimant, that a judgment be entered in favor of the Defendant and Counterclaimant against the Plaintiff, BOOMj.com, in the amount of $20,775 for damages as to the claim for failure to pay wages, $3,000,000 for damages as to the conversion claim, and $3,000,000 for punitive damages. This debt was forgiven during the third quarter in the amount of $8,360,224 as the estate believed there was no future value on holding this judgement against the Company and felt that the elimination of this significant liability may provide better avenues of funding going forward. The Company recorded this as an adjustment to Additional Paid in Capital as this was a liability assumed in previous years.

 

In addition to the above, from time to time, we may be involved in litigation in the ordinary course of business. Other than as set forth above, we are not currently involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. Other than as set forth above, to our knowledge, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of our executive officers or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our Company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or any of our subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.
