NOTE 13 – CONTINGENCY

 

On April 16, 2020, the Company was named as a defendant in the Adversary Proceeding (the “BT Prime Litigation”) filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Massachusetts (Case No. 15-10745-FJB; Adversary Proceeding No. 16-01178) titled In re: BT Prime Ltd (“BT Prime”). On May 31, 2022, the BT Prime Litigation was dismissed with prejudice by the bankruptcy court as to Nukkleus.

 

The BT Prime Litigation was brought by BT Prime against Boston Technologies Powered by Forexware LLC f/k/a Forexware LLC (“Forexware”), Currency Mountain Holdings LLC, Currency Mountain Holdings Limited f/k/a Forexware Malta Holdings Ltd., FXDirectDealer, LLC, FXDD Malta Ltd., Nukkleus, Nukkleus Bermuda Limited and Currency Mountain Holdings Bermuda, Ltd. BT Prime sought, amongst other relief, a determination that the defendants were liable for all of the debts of BT Prime stemming from its bankruptcy proceedings, and sought to recover certain amounts transferred to Forexware and FXDD Malta prior to the initiation of the bankruptcy case. In the sole claim asserted against Nukkleus, BT Prime alleged that Nukkleus acquired certain technology assets from Forexware and is a continuation of the business of Forexware and a successor-in-interest to Forexware. Based on this theory, BT Prime alleged that Nukkleus should be jointly and severally liable for any liability attributable to Forexware or the other defendants, should the court eventually find any such liability. Although Nukkleus acquired licenses from Forexware, Forexware maintained other assets and continued to operate a separate business, which Nukkleus believes is the business that is pertinent to BT Prime’s allegations. Nukkleus has issued a limited guarantee of the obligations under a settlement agreement among BT Prime and the defendants other than Nukkleus, limited to an amount equal to $2,050,000, which guarantee is subject to release following payment by the defendants other than Nukkleus of their obligations under the settlement agreement. Nukkleus management believes that the term of the limited guarantee will expire without any payment obligation or other cost to Nukkleus.
