B) LITIGATION

On February 3, 2017, the Company filed suit in Eastern District Federal Court New York against American Resource Technologies, Inc., (ARUR) and several directors and officers relating to the Chautauqua County Court Kansas decision nullifying the acquisition Agreement of ARUR. The Company has made several attempts to recover the shares of GTII stock paid to ARUR for the asset acquisition and the various costs and expenses expended by GTII in fulfillment of its obligations under the contract with ARUR. The failure of non-litigation attempts to resolve the matter resulted in filing an action for declaratory judgment in the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York, Docket No. 17-CV-0698. The case was subsequently withdrawn due to the close of ARUR operations. During the 2^nd quarter 2020, the Company was successful in recalling the 4,668,530 shares and cancelling them from the shareholders list.

On December 30, 2016, the Company executed a stock purchase agreement (the “Agreement”), which was signed and closed in Hong Kong, with GoFun Group, Ltd. through its wholly owned subsidiary Go F & B Holdings, Ltd. GoFun Group, Ltd. is a privately held company running a casual dining restaurant business, based in Hong Kong. Subsequent to the agreement being signed, GoFun Group failed to substantially perform under the agreement, including, but not limited to providing audited financials of its assets, making the ongoing payments called for in the agreement, along with other matters that led Global Tech to initiate litigation in the United States. Currently, Global Tech and GoFun are litigating the matter in the U.S District Court for the Southern District of New York, Docket No.17-CV-03727 . On October 2, 2019, the Company was able to secure, via preliminary settlement, the return of 43,649,491 shares of the Company’s stock out of the original 50,649,491 that were issued in good faith to GoFun in anticipation of a final stock exchange. That stock has been returned to the Company’s treasury and cancelled. On May 14, 2021, the Superior Court of New Jersey, Chancery Division: Monmouth County (docket no. PAS-MON-C-60-21) issued an order restraining the removal of restrictive legends on the remaining 7,000,000 shares of stock, pending further order of the New Jersey Court. The underlying matter currently in the U.S. district Court for the Southern District of New York, remains pending. The Company and GoFun have mutually agreed to resolve the matter and the respective counsels are currently working toward that goal.

On December 30, 2019, a dispute between the Company and its counsel regarding the GoFun matter, above, resulted in a filing, and subsequent settlement, of an action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York (Index No. 656396/2019). Pursuant to the settlement, counsel for the Company accepted previously-issued shares as full payment for all legal work, expenses, costs, and other fees.

On August 24, 2021, the Company filed an application for a temporary restraining (“TRO”) order in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Chancery Division: Monmouth County (Docket No.: Mon-C-132-21) seeking to restrain Liberty Stock Transfer, Inc. from removing restrictive legends from 6,000,000 shares of Company stock held in the name of International Monetary, as well as from transferring said shares. The Court granted the TRO effective until September 28, 2021. On September 28, 2021, the Court declined to issue any further restraints.

In the interim, on September 16, 2021, International Monetary filed an action against the Company in Clark County, Nevada (Case No: A-21-841175-B) alleging breach of contract and breach good faith and fair dealing, as well as a request for declaratory relief, and temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction.
