Item 8.01 Other Events
On July 5, 2017, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Court”) dismissed with prejudice all claims and counterclaims filed in the case entitledJohn McAfee et al. v. Intel Corporation et al., Case No. 1:16-CV-06934 (the “Action”). The Action relates to a complaint for declaratory judgement filed by Mr. John McAfee and MGT Capital Investments, Inc.

The dismissal of the Action was based upon a stipulation of voluntary dismissal (the “Stipulation”) entered into by the Parties pursuant to a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) dated June 30, 2017. Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed not to use “John McAfee Global Technologies,” “John McAfee Privacy Phone,” “John McAfee” or “McAfee” as (or as part of) a trademark, logo, trade name, business name, slogan, service mark or brand name in connection with cybersecurity related products or services. Notwithstanding, the Company is permitted to use the name “John McAfee” in promotional and advertising materials and on product packages, provided that the name is used in a descriptive manner and in compliance with the specifications set forth in the Settlement Agreement. Additionally, the Company may use John McAfee’s likeness without restrictions. The Court will retain jurisdiction over the Parties for purposes of enforcing this Settlement Agreement.
