COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

From time to time, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in these, or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. Except as set forth below, we are not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims against the Company.

 

A series of legal actions and hearings took place starting in February of 2020 with the Vivos Group over Merger agreement violations and Vivos Group debt obligations. Arbitration was agreed to in the fall of 2021 by both the Vivos Group and MMG with the proceedings commencing in February 2022.

 

On August 31, 2022, the arbitrator issued an award in favor of the Company and MMG, including fraud damages. Supplemental awards were issued on May 17, 2023, October 10, 2023, and October 27, 2023. The awards granted MMG the total of all notes receivable from the Vivos Group, contracted interest, attorneys’ fees and expenses of $1,209, and a contract damage of $1,000 to be satisfied by the transfer of the Vivos Group’s shares of the Company Common Stock to the Company equal in value to $1,000.

 

The May 17, 2023 award also appointed a Receiver whose primary function is to collect the contract and fraud damages, including costs, expenses, and fees provided in the awards. On October 10, 2023, the Arbitrator issued a Supplemental Award outlining the Receiver’s powers.

On December 29, 2023, the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, Maryland entered all three arbitration awards as final judgments which became effective on January 29, 2024 after the appeal period expired. These judgments, totaling approximately $8,490 plus accrued interest, are enforceable for 12 years and may be enrolled in other states.

 

On May 19, 2025, the Receiver submitted final recommendations, calculations, and a proposed order to the arbitrator. The response deadline was initially set for July 7, 2025, but was extended to August 6, 2025 after Vivos Holdings retained new counsel. On August 8, 2025, the arbitrator granted both parties until September 5, 2025 to submit replies to each other’s filings.

 

On October 24, 2025, a non-evidentiary hearing was held in Bethesda Maryland related to the Receiver’s proposed order. Issuance of a written ruling from the arbitrator is expected in 2025.

 

On June 11, 2025, the Company’s subsidiary, without admitting any fault, entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) to settle an immaterial legal settlement. Following court approval on October 9, 2025, $125 was recognized in operating expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. This amount will be paid out over the next 5 months.
