1. Legal Proceedings.
In
April 2024, an ex-shareholder of Otto Pvt Ltd., an indirect wholly owned Bahamian subsidiary of SSi(“ Otto ”) commenced
litigation in the Bahamas, seeking legal confirmation that it holds 9,000 shares (approximately a 9% interest) in Otto. The litigation,
in which Otto is one of the defendants, relates to a purported transaction in 2021, at which time Dr. Sudhir Srivastava, the Company’s
Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and principal shareholder, was the sole shareholder of Otto. The plaintiff in the litigation alleges
that at that time, it acquired the 9,000 Otto shares from Dr. Srivastava. However, as the plaintiff failed to pay the agreed upon consideration
for the shares, in July 2022, the shareholding was cancelled. Dr. Srivastava along with Otto, has recently filed an action in the Bahamas
to confirm the cancellation of the shares and reconfirm their ownership and both actions are pending in the Bahamian courts. The Bahamian
court has issued an interim order to maintain the status quo as it stands today with respect to the 9,000 Otto shares at the center of
the dispute, as well as Otto’s shareholdings in Sudhir Srivastava Innovations Pvt Ltd. (“ SSI-India ”), our Indian
operating subsidiary and SSI-India’s assets during the pendency of the litigation. Based on legal opinions obtained from counsel,
the Company believes that there will be a favorable outcome in this case.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Dr. Srivastava and the Company have entered into an Indemnification Agreement on October 12, 2024, pursuant to which Dr.
Srivastava has agreed to fully indemnify the Company for any claims, damages and costs (including legal fees) which it incurs in connection
with this litigation or in relation to any of his ventures prior to consummation of the Company’s acquisition by merger of CardioVentures,
Inc. in April 2023.
