Legal Matters

 

In December 2011, the Board of Directors and the majority of the shareholders of the Company terminated for cause, Douglas Salie, the CEO, Chairman and member of the Board of Directors. Mr. Salie has indicated that he believes his termination was wrongful. On or about May 6, 2012, a Company employee received a telephone call from Mr. Salie stating that the Company would have to answer for his termination. The Company firmly believes that its actions were justified, and no legal proceeding has been filed.

 

In October 2012, Douglas Pinard, a former owner of CSP (see Note 2), resigned from the Company. Certain monies were due to Mr. Pinard related to accrued payroll and notes payable. Mr. Pinard threatened litigation whereas both parties agreed upon a settlement requiring the Company to pay Mr. Pinard a settlement of $40,000 for those liabilities. The Company paid Mr. Pinard $20,000 according to the conditions of the settlement agreement. The Company then notified Mr. Pinard that in its opinion, Mr. Pinard had allegedly breached the settlement agreement by not returning all of the Company’s assets which Mr. Pinard had in his possession at the time of termination. Therefore, the final $20,000 was not paid to Mr. Pinard. Due to the nonpayment, Mr. Pinard alleges that the Company breached the settlement agreement. Mr. Pinard indicated that he would seek legal recourse. As of the date of this report, no further actions have been taken by Mr. Pinard.

 

In January of 2013, Dr. Robert Salie, father of former chief executive officer and chairman, Douglas Salie, who was terminated for cause, filed a suit, Robert Salie and Salie Family Limited Partnership v eLayaway, Inc. , in the Circuit Court for the Second Judicial Circuit in and for Leon County, Florida, Civil Division. The lawsuit is in regards to two notes payable with claims of approximately $565,000 in principal and accrued interest. A hearing is scheduled for May 21, 2013. In October 2012, the Company offered Dr. Salie a principal and interest repayment plan utilizing a third party, but Dr. Salie rejected the Company’s offer.

 

In March 2013, ASC Recap, LLC (“ASC”) filed a Joint Motion for Approval of Settlement Agreement and Stipulation, and Request for Fairness Hearing in the Circuit Court of the Second Judicial Circuit in and for Leon County, Florida, Case No. 2012-CA-4074. ASC has contracted with various note holders of the Company to acquire their debt and subsequently converting the debt to common stock of the Company. The Company has agreed to these terms as the acquisition of these debts and subsequent conversion would alleviate a majority of the Company’s liabilities thereby putting the Company in a better position to facilitate growth. The amount of the proposed purchases is approximately $1.2 million. A hearing was held on May 14, 2013 and the joint motion was approved.
