PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
On November 5, 2019, Falkbuilt Ltd. (“Falkbuilt”) filed a Statement of Claims against us in the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta, Canada. Falkbuilt alleges that we have misappropriated and misused their alleged proprietary information in furtherance of our own product development. Falkbuilt seeks monetary relief, including, among other things, damages of approximately C$30.0 million, disgorgement of profits, punitive damages, and attorneys’ fees, and an interim, interlocutory and permanent injunction of our use of the alleged proprietary information.
Falkbuilt is affiliated with certain of our former employees, including Mogens Smed, our co-founder and former Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Barrie Loberg, our former Vice President of Software Development. As previously disclosed, on May 9, 2019, we filed a lawsuit in the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta against Mr. Smed and Mr. Loberg, to enforce the terms of our Settlement Agreement and their respective obligations, including non-compete and non-solicit provisions, that we entered into in connection with their departure. We believe that Falkbuilt’s lawsuit against us is part of their litigation strategy related to our lawsuit against them, and we believe it is without merit. We intend to defend it vigorously and to continue to pursue our legal remedies against Messrs. Smed and Loberg and their company, Falkbuilt.
We may, from time to time, become involved in other legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of business, including the initiation and defense of proceedings to protect intellectual property rights, product liability claims and employment claims. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors. In the opinion of our management, none of the pending litigation, disputes or claims against us will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.
As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A in our Registration Statement on Form 10. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently know to use or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds |
None.
Item 3. | Defaults Upon Senior Securities |
None.
Item 4. | Mine Safety Disclosures |
Not Applicable.
On October 7, 2019, we, through one of our wholly owned subsidiaries, entered into a Lease Agreement (the “Lease”) with SP Rock Hill Legacy East #1, LLC relating to the lease by us of a build-to-suit building which will provide for approximately 130,000 square feet of manufacturing space for our combined tile and millwork factory and will be located in Rock Hill, South Carolina (the “Premises”).
The term of the Lease is currently estimated to commence around September 2020, when construction of the Premises has been substantially completed (the “Commencement Date”). Upon the Commencement Date, the Lease will have an initial term of 15 years, with two consecutive five-year renewal periods at our option. The initial annual base rent will be approximately $851,000, subject to increases in subsequent years and to certain adjustments as set forth in the Lease.
