NOTE 3 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Settlement and Legal

 

We are not currently a party to any on-going legal proceedings, and we are not aware of any claims or actions pending or threatened against us. In the future, we might from time to time become involved in litigation relating to claims arising from our ordinary course of business, the resolution of which we do not anticipate would have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

On November 13, 2018, two founders of the Company (the “Claimant Founders”), initiated two lawsuits in the Superior Court of California, County of San Francisco, entitled Nathaniel Farber v. HyreCar Inc., Case No. CGC-18-571257 and Josiah Larkin v. HyreCar Inc., Case No. CGC-18-571258. The complaints for the lawsuits, which were largely duplicative, alleged that the Company breached a Settlement Agreement by and between the Company and the Claimant Founders by not allowing the Claimant Founders to sell stock in the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”), failing to buyback Claimant Founders’ stock at the time of the IPO, allowing the issuance of certain stock without proportionately increasing the stock ownership of Claimant Founders, and not providing certain required information to the Claimant Founders. The Company strongly disagreed with all of the allegations and vigorously contested both lawsuits. The Company believe that, at all times, its actions were consistent with the terms, conditions, and context of the Settlement Agreement, as well as applicable law. Pursuant to a motion brought by the Company, the two lawsuits were joined for pretrial and trial purposes.  As the case progressed, the Claimant Founders narrowed their allegations significantly. Mr. Larkin dismissed all of his claims. Mr. Farber dismissed all of his allegations except for an allegation that the Company failed to buyback the Claimant Founders’ stock at the time of the IPO. The Company believed that the remaining claim was without merit, but without admitting fault, agreed to settle any and all claims between the Claimant Founders and the Company.  As part of the settlement, the Company agreed to issue 78,431 shares of the Company’s common stock to Mr. Farber at an agreed upon value of $200,000.
