Item 8.01 Other Events
On January 15, 2014, the United States District Court, Northern District of Illinois, approved a settlement agreement between the Company and Hudson Bay Master Fund, Ltd. (“Plaintiff”) dated December 24, 2013. The settlement resolved a dispute that arose between the Company and Plaintiff with respect to whether the Company, when it issued convertible notes on September 4, 2013, triggered an anti-dilution provision in a warrant to acquire common shares issued to Plaintiff by the Company on November 19, 2010. In the settlement, the Company agreed to reduce the exercise price of the warrant from $2.44 per share to $1.25 per share, and by the terms of the warrant, to increase the number of common shares exercisable under the warrant from 500,000 to 976,000. The Company also agreed as part of the settlement to issue 37,500 common shares to Plaintiff. In return, Plaintiff agreed to dismiss a complaint it filed on October 9, 2013 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division. The filing of the complaint was previously reported by the Company in its Form 10Q for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013.
