PIONEER POWER SOLUTIONS, INC. 10-Q

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS From time to time, we may become involved in lawsuits, investigations and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. On June 15, 2023, Terrence and Kay Mimick (the “Plaintiffs”) filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court, District of Nebraska naming the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pioneer Critical Power, Inc., and an individual acting in his capacity as an employee of the Company, collectively as defendants. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on July 7, 2023, alleging negligent driving, negligent entrustment, and negligent hiring, training and supervision, as a result of a car accident that occurred on September 9, 2019, and seeking special damages related to the injuries allegedly sustained by Plaintiffs. The amended complaint also named Titan Energy Systems, Inc. as a defendant instead of Pioneer Critical Power, Inc. On July 27, 2023, the defendants filed an Answer to Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint. On October 6, 2023, a mediation was held, but the parties did not reach a settlement. In June 2024, another mediation was held and the parties reached a settlement for all of the Plaintiffs’ claims. On May 26, 2023, the Company filed a complaint against PowerSecure, Inc. (“PowerSecure”) in Minnesota state court, which was subsequently removed to U.S. District Court, District of Minnesota on June 20, 2023, alleging breach of contract, unjust enrichment and tortious interference (the “PowerSecure Action”). Thereafter, in the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release with PowerSecure. On January 4, 2024, the Company and PowerSecure stipulated to a voluntary dismissal of the PowerSecure Action with prejudice, and as a result, the PowerSecure Action was dismissed with prejudice on January 5, 2024.
