Appraisal Demand

On September 21, 2017, former stockholders of SourceHOV Holdings, Inc. (“SourceHOV”), who allege combined ownership of 10,304 shares of SourceHOV common stock, filed a petition for appraisal pursuant to 8 Del. C. § 262 in the Delaware Court of Chancery, captioned Manichaean Capital, LLC, et al. v. SourceHOV Holdings, Inc., C.A. No. 2017-0673-JRS (the "Appraisal Action"). The Appraisal Action arises out of the acquisition of SourceHOV and Novitex Holdings, Inc, by Quinpario in July 2017 (“Novitex Business Combination”), which gave rise to appraisal rights pursuant to 8 Del. C. § 262. In the Appraisal Action, the petitioners seek, among other things, a determination of the fair value of their SourceHOV shares at the time of the Novitex Business Combination; an order that SourceHOV pay that value to the petitioners, together with interest at the statutory rate; and an award of costs, attorneys' fees, and other expenses.

On October 12, 2017, SourceHOV filed its answer to the petition and a verified list pursuant to 8 Del. C. § 262(f). Trial is currently scheduled for June 2019. The parties and their experts have offered competing valuations of the SourceHOV shares as of the date of the Novitex Business Combination. The Court may determine a fair value that is above or below the values indicated by the parties and their experts. At this stage of the litigation, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of the Appraisal Action or estimate what the Court will determine the fair value of SourceHOV common stock to be as of the date of the Novitex Business Combination. Pursuant to the terms of the Novitex Business Combination Agreement, if such appraisal rights are perfected, a corresponding portion of shares of our Common Stock issued to Ex-Sigma 2 LLC, our principal stockholder, will be forfeited at such time as the PIPE Financing (as defined in the Consent, Waiver and Amendment dated June 15, 2017) is repaid. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the Appraisal Action.
