1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On
October 8, 2021, a filing (the “Filing”) was made with the Kuala Lumpur High Court by a reseller (the “Reseller”)
of the Company’s INCU ionic nano copper solution (the “Solution”) and the Reseller’s related party (together
with the Reseller, the “Plaintiffs”).
The
Reseller was authorized by WKL Eco Earth’s sole distributor of the Solution (the “WKL Distributor”) to resell the Solution
together with a diffuser with a capacity of not more than 1000ml through a tripartite agreement (the “Tripartite Agreement”)
entered into between (a) the Reseller, (b) the WKL Distributor and (c) a solution packaging company (the “Packaging Company”).
WKL Eco Earth was not a party to the Tripartite Agreement and did not directly authorize or engage the Reseller in the resale of the
Solution.
In
the Filing, the Plaintiffs claimed against (i) WKL Eco Earth; (ii) Dr. Low; (iii) Chan Kok Wei, (iv) the Packaging Company and (v) two
directors of the Packaging Company for loss and damages arising from an alleged breach of contract, defamation and tort of inducement.
The Plaintiffs also alleged that pursuant to the Tripartite Agreement, WKL Eco Earth was prohibited from selling the Solution to any
party other than the WKL Distributor and allow for the resale of the Solution by the Plaintiffs without limitation, and that the Plaintiffs
were not confined in their resale of the Solution to a diffuser with a capacity of not more than 1000ml.
The
Company believes the claims are without merit and will defend itself against the claims.
