My Size, Inc. 10-Q

Item 1. Legal Proceedings. From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. North Empire LLC On August 7, 2018, we commenced an action against North Empire LLC, or North Empire, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York for breach of a Securities Purchase Agreement or Agreement in which we are seeking damages in an amount to be determined at trial, but in no event less than $616,000. On August 2, 2018, North Empire filed a Summons with Notice against us, also in the same Court, in which they allege damages in an amount of $11.4 million arising from an alleged breach of the Agreement. On September 6, 2018, North Empire filed a Notice of Discontinuance of the action it had filed on August 2, 2018. On September 27, 2018, North Empire filed an answer and asserted counterclaims in the action commenced by us against them, alleging that we failed to deliver stock certificates to North Empire causing damage to North Empire in the amount of $10,958,589. North Empire also filed a third-party complaint against our CEO and now former Chairman of the Board asserting similar claims against them in their individual capacities. On October 17, 2018, we filed a reply to North Empire’s counterclaims. On November 15, 2018, our CEO and now former Chairman of the Board filed a motion to dismiss North Empire’s third-party complaint. On January 6, 2020, the Court granted the motion and dismissed the third-party complaint. Discovery has been completed and both parties have filed motions for summary judgment in connection with the claims and counterclaims. On December 30, 2021, the Court denied both My Size and North Empire’s motions for summary judgment, arguing there were factual issues to be determined at trial. On January 26, 2022, the Company filed a notice of appeal of the summary judgment decision. On February 3, 2022, the Company filed a motion to reargue the Court’s decision denying the Company’s motion for summary judgment. On or about September 12, 2022, the Court issued its Decision and Order denying the Company’s motion to reargue. North Empire filed its opposing brief on December 7, 2022. Both sides were given an opportunity to file a reply brief. We filed our reply brief on January 4, 2023 and North Empire filed its reply brief on January 13, 2023. Oral argument was held before the Appellate Court on February 7, 2023. On or about February 28, 2023, the Appellate Court filed its Decision and Order, which affirmed the lower court’s decisions regarding both My Size and North Empire’s motions for summary judgment and sent the case back to the Supreme Court. On or about March 13, 2023, the Supreme Court referred the case to its Alternative Dispute Program and ordered the cases to mediate. The mediation was held on July 26, 2023 and various settlement options were explored but the mediation did not lead to settlement. On December 21, 2023, a conference with the Court was held and the parties were given dates for various pre-trial filings. The parties are exploring a resolution and the Court has adjourned the pre-trial deadlines. On July 30, 2024, the parties provided the Court with a status update regarding a possible resolution of the action. As such, the Court has instructed the parties to provide a further update on August 13, 2024. We intend to vigorously defend any claims made by North Empire. We believe it is more likely than not that the counterclaims will be denied. Shimon Shukron In July 2024, we were served with a legal complaint filed by Shimon Shukron in the Magistrate’s Court in Herzliya for a monetary award in an amount of NIS 1,895,345 (approximately $510,000). The plaintiff alleges that due to the fire that broke out at Orgad’s warehouse in January 2023, the fire spread to the plaintiff’s business and caused heavy damage to the structure and contents, inventory of the business and loss of profits. We expect to file our statement of defense in September 2024. At this preliminary stage, before any fact finding and pre-trial procedures (including disclosure of documents) have been conducted and before the statement of defense has been prepared and filed, we cannot evaluate the chances of the claim to succeed.
