On December 11, 2006, the United States District Court for the Central District of California issued a final order and judgment in the matter entitled: In re Lantronix, Inc. Securities Litigation, Case No. CV 02-3899 GPS (JTLx). The defendants have agreed to contribute a total value of $15.2 towards the class action settlement, with $15.0 million of that amount contributed by Lantronix, Inc. (the “Company”) and its insurance carriers. The Company has already reached agreements with its relevant insurance carriers with respect to the funding of the settlement, and in accordance with those agreements the Company’s insurance carriers have funded approximately $13.9 million in cash into the settlement fund. Under the terms of the agreement with the plaintiffs, the Company will not be required to contribute any cash to the settlement. However, as part of the settlement, the Company expects to issue certain of the Company’s securities in the form of warrants or common shares to the settlement fund valued at approximately $1.1 million in early 2007. As of September 30, 2006, the Company had recorded an accrued settlement of $1.1 million representing its share of the settlement liability.
The information in this Form 8-K is furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
