Item 1. Fundamental Changes

 

Slingshot USA, LLC ("Slingshot") has initiated legal proceedings against Angel Studios, Inc. ("Angel") for material breaches of their Content Distribution Agreement ("CDA"), copyright infringement, and unauthorized exploitation of Slingshot's intellectual property.

 

Slingshot entered into a CDA with Angel on August 31, 2021, granting Angel distribution rights for its animated feature film “DAVID” and the episodic series “Young DAVID," under the condition that all marketing, distribution, and commercialization decisions require Slingshot’s mutual approval. However, Slingshot alleges that Angel systematically breached these terms by:

 

Excluding Slingshot from key distribution and marketing decisions, including unauthorized third-party agreements.
Removing Slingshot's branding from promotional materials and failing to acknowledge Slingshot as the producer and owner of the Content.
Using “Young DAVID” to promote Angel’s subscription service instead of maximizing revenue for Slingshot.
Refusing to engage in distribution negotiations unless Angel’s entire content catalog is included.

 

After multiple attempts to resolve these breaches, Slingshot formally notified Angel of contract termination effective November 9, 2024. Angel has refused to acknowledge this termination and continues to exploit Slingshot’s intellectual property. As a result, Slingshot has filed a lawsuit seeking a judicial declaration affirming contract termination, damages for breach of contract, and compensation for ongoing copyright infringement.
