RGA Labs, Inc.
 
On February 18, 2020, RGA Labs, Inc.
(“RGA”) filed suit against the Company in the Illinois
Circuit Court (23 rd
District) alleging that the Company
owed RGA money pursuant to a written contract for the design and
manufacture of certain water treatment equipment commissioned by
the Company. The Company disputed the allegations and has
counterclaimed against RGA for additional costs and expenses
incurred by the Company in correcting, repairing and retro-fitting
the equipment to enable it to work in the Company’s
facilities. On December 1, 2020, the Company filed a motion to
dismiss the lawsuit as a sanction for the failure of RGA to comply
with a court order compelling responses to the Company’s
requests for production and first set of interrogatories. A hearing
was held on the motion to dismiss on January 20, 2021. The Court
has taken the matter under advisement and will issue its ruling on
March 19, 2021.
