Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On or about June 29, 2020, Hanover Hoffman Estates, LLC (“HHE”), filed case number 2020L006092 in the Circuit Court of Cook County alleging the Company’s failure to pay Base Rent and abandonment of certain office space in Hoffman Estates, Illinois subject to a Commercial Lease dated May 26, 2016. HHE sought at least $672,878 in base rent and other amounts under the lease, as well as treble damages from our ex-CEO and two past Directors who were serving on our Board as of the date of the lease.
On October 6, 2021, HHE and the Company agreed to settle case number 2020l006092 pursuant to a settlement agreement providing, among other things, that the Company agree to the entry of a final judgment order on the complaint in the amount of $725,794.84, which includes $657,193.58 in base rent awarded HHE by the Court on HHE’s Motion for Summary Judgment and the additional fees claimed by HHE and costs. HHE will forebear on the enforcement of the judgment and will provide the Company a satisfaction of the judgment upon the payment by the Company of $350,000.00, plus interest on the principal amount thereof outstanding from time to time at the rate of 5% per annum (the “Settlement Amount”), until the Settlement Amount is paid in full. An initial payment of $125,000.00, will be due and payable on or before January 1, 2022.
