| | | On May 27, 2005, Authentidate Holding Corp. (the “Registrant”) issued a press release announcing that its ongoing discussions with the United States Postal Service regarding the status of its Strategic Alliance Agreement had reached a critical stage with the receipt of a second notice from the Postal Service stating that it had failed to attain the performance metrics required by the Strategic Alliance Agreement during the period February 2005 through April 2005. In its notice to the Registrant, the Postal Service has advised the Registrant that although it intends to exercise its right to terminate the Strategic Alliance Agreement if the Registrant is unable to cure this default, it is willing to discuss further plans that the Registrant may have to attain the performance metrics in the Strategic Alliance Agreement. A copy of the Registrant’s May 27, 2005 press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. |
