Item 3. Legal Proceedings
 
From time to time we may be a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. Our management is not aware of any litigation outstanding, threatened or pending as of the date hereof by or against us or our properties which we believe would be material to our financial condition or results of operations, except with respect to a dispute related to its non-renewal of the employment agreement with Mr. Allan Pratt, the Company's former President and CEO, in which Mr. Pratt appears to be treating it as a termination which would trigger a two-year severance payment. Around the same time that Mr. Pratt’s employment term expired, the Company’s Board of Directors voted to reduce the board from five to three, and Mr. Pratt and Mr. Austin Lewis, CFO, automatically rolled off from the Board of Directors. More than a year later, in 2021, Mr. Pratt filed a claim in Delaware courts to contest that decision.

As of March 31, 2023, there were approximately 867 holders of record of our common stock. Because many of the shares are held by brokers and other institutions on behalf of stockholders, the Company is unable to estimate the total number of individual stockholders represented by these holders of record.
 
We have not previously paid cash dividends on our common stock, and intend to utilize current resources to operate the business; thus, it is not anticipated that cash dividends will be paid on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
 
Exchangeable Shares
 
Holders of our subsidiary’s exchangeable shares have the same dividend and distribution rights as holders of Company shares, and if Company shares are subdivided or in the event of a Company stock dividend, the exchangeable shares will be equally subdivided, as exchangeable shares are intended to be economically the same as shares of common or preferred stock of the Company. The Company will have a “liquidation call right” in the event of proposed liquidation, dissolution or winding up of ShipTime Canada Inc.  Absent prior events, the Company will redeem the exchangeable shares on the fifth anniversary whereby the Company will redeem the exchangeable shares for shares of the Company’s preferred stock and common stock.  By agreement, exchangeable shares also may be purchased by ShipTime Canada Inc. for cancellation.  The Company also has a right to call the shares in the event of a change in the applicable laws.
 
The holders of exchangeable shares have an “automatic exchange right” in the event of any bankruptcy or insolvency or in general, related proceedings, of ShipTime Canada Inc. or the Company.  The exchangeable shares would at such time be converted automatically into that number of shares of common stock and preferred stock of the Company at the agreed upon conversion ratio. Moreover, Callco will have an overriding call right to purchase some or all of the exchangeable shares. This mechanism will be triggered with the automatic exchange right and is necessary to comply with Canadian tax laws. The exercise of this call right does not alter the outcome of the exchangeable share transaction.
 
Under a Support Agreement, the Company is required to treat holders of Exchangeable Shares substantially similar, or economically equivalent, to holders of Company stock.  As such, under the Support Agreement, the Company cannot declare or pay any dividend or other distribution on Company stock unless ShipTime Inc. simultaneously declares or pays the dividend or distribution on the Exchangeable Shares and has sufficient money or other assets to meet these requirements. In turn, ShipTime Inc. would effect a corresponding dividend or distribution of its securities related to the Exchangeable Shares.  The Company also undertakes to advise ShipTime Inc. of the declaration of dividend or distribution, among other similar events, and to cooperate with it to effect the dividend or distribution as of the same record and effective date.   The Company is also required in this case to segregate funds to pay for the dividend, and to reserve sufficient number of shares to permit the exchange of the Exchangeable Shares into the required number of Company shares of common stock and preferred stock.  The Support Agreement is also binding on any successor to the Company and with respect to any successor transaction.
