3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
On
March 4, 2021 a Complaint and Demand for Jury Trial (the “Complaint”) was filed by a plaintiff (the “Plaintiff”)
in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The Complaint named Ozop Energy Solutions, Inc. (“OZOP”)
and Brian Conway, Ozop’s Chief Executive Officer, (the “CEO”). OZOP and the CEO are collectively referred to herein
as “Defendants”. The Complaint alleges that the Plaintiff’s purchase and sale of OZOP’s securities, and damages
caused by OZOP and its CEO, were violations of federal and state securities law and common laws. This securities fraud complaint is based
on two (2) press releases issued by OZOP: the first dated January 12, 2021, which the complainant alleges contained materially false
and misleading information about the execution of a Master Supply Agreement, and the second dated February 5, 2021, that retracted the
press release it issued on January 12, 2021. In reliance on OZOP’s January 12, 2021 press release (which was retracted and corrected
by OZOP’s February 5, 2021 press release), on the same date, Plaintiff sold all of his 4,370,180 OZOP shares on the public market.
The Plaintiff alleges that the February 5, 2021 corrective press release (which retracted the January 12, 2021 press release and corrected
the material misrepresentations provided therein) caused a dramatic increase in the price of OZOP’s shares, significantly in excess
of the price at which Plaintiff sold his OZOP shares on January 12, 2021 (in reliance on the January 12, 2021 press release), causing
Plaintiff to suffer significant losses, in excess of two Million Dollars, as a direct and proximate result of Defendants’ material
misrepresentations. The Company disputes the allegations in the Complaint has engaged counsel to vigorously defend the Company and the
CEO.
On
November 12, 2020, a former employee of PCTI filed a Charge of Discrimination against PCTI, for wrongful discharge based on sex
and retaliation with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) and the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission
for events occurring on or before June 3, 2020. The matter is currently under investigation with the EEOC.
Other
than the above, we know of no legal proceedings to which we are a party or to which any of our property is the subject, which
are pending, threatened or contemplated or any unsatisfied judgments against the Company.
