1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We
know of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings against our Company. We are involved as a plaintiff in a Complaint filed in
the SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA FOR THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO NORTH COUNTY (the “Complaint”) on November
14, 2022 . The Complaint alleges that former employees would place an order from a customer for purchase of product from OZOP with
funds the exact source of which is presently unknown. OZOP alleges that next, the customer would sell that product to OZOP’s customers
at a price marked up from the price for which the customer purchased from OZOP – to the benefit of Defendants and to the detriment
of OZOP, their employer at the time. The Complaint further alleges that the former employees falsely represented that the price the customer
was obtaining from other suppliers and therefore was willing to pay for OZOP product decreased, which allowed them to use the customer
to then sell additional product to OZOP’s customers at increasingly larger margins, thus further wrongfully enriching themselves
to the detriment of their employer, OZOP. The lawsuit also alleges that the employees were also making false statements to Ozop’s
customers regarding the financial condition of Ozop and the lack of module inventory. On April 4, 2024, the Company executed a Settlement
Agreement (the “Settlement”) with its former employees and Your Home Solutions Corp (“YHS”). YHS and the former
employees were all defendants (the “Defendants”) in the Complaint. Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement, the Defendants
are to pay the Company $500,000 within 2 days of the Settlement and $625,000 on or before sixty (60) days from the Settlement. In exchange,
the Company agreed to release all Defendants from the lawsuit upon the final and full payment of $1,125,000 and to deliver 11 containers
of solar panels. As of May 2, 2024, the Company has received the $1,125,000, and the Company has released the 11 containers by May 6,
2024.
There
are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse
party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.
