NextPlat Corp 10-Q

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS On June 22, 2021, Thomas Seifert’s employment as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer was terminated for cause. Mr. Seifert asserts that the termination was not for cause and that he is owed all compensation payable under his employment agreement executed in June 2021. The Company’s position is that Mr. Seifert is not owed any additional consideration or compensation relating to his prior service with the Company or arising under any employment agreement. The Company and Mr. Seifert are currently engaged in litigation over the matter of his employment and termination. The Company believes it has adequate defenses to Mr. Seifert’s claims and has advanced claims against Mr. Seifert including, but not limited to, breach of the employment agreement, breach of the fiduciary, fraud in the inducement in connection with the employment agreement, fraudulent misrepresentation, and constructive fraud. The Company does not expect to seek substantial monetary relief in the litigation. From time to time, the Company may become involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. The Company is not currently involved in any pending legal proceeding or litigation, and to the best of our knowledge, no governmental authority is contemplating any proceeding to which the Company is a party or to which any of the Company’s properties is subject, which would reasonably be likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results.
