Section 8 - Other Events

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On October 11, 2016, the United States District Court, District of Nevada orally approved the derivative action settlement agreement (“Peak Settlement Agreement”) reached in Peak Finance, LLC v. Timothy J. Hassett et. al., Case No. 2:15-cv-01590-GMN-CWH. Noting that no non-party shareholder filed any objections to the Peak Settlement Agreement, the District Court specifically found that it is “fundamentally fair, reasonable and adequate” and serves the best interest of the Company. The Court further directed that counsel for the parties prepare a proposed formal written order finally approving the Peak Settlement Agreement and dismissing the case.

 

Upon filing of the written order, the case will be dismissed in its entirety and an Independent Directors Committee consisting of directors Christopher McKee, Richard J. "Dick" Schul and Donald Bowman will review the allegations made by Peak Finance, LLC to determine a proper corporate response.

 

The Company anticipates that the written order will be submitted by counsel and filed with the Clerk within a matter a few business days from the date of this announcement.
