Item 1.01
Entry into an Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On June 20, 2012, Reis, Inc. (“Reis” or the “Company”), two of Reis’s subsidiaries (Gold Peak at Palomino Park LLC and Wellsford Park Highlands Corp.) and two of Reis’s former officers (Jeffrey H. Lynford, who was also previously a director of the Company, and David M. Strong) (collectively, the “Reis Defendants”) entered into an Abbreviated Enforceable Mutual Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with the Gold Peak Homeowners Association (the “HOA”), settling all claims of the HOA against the Reis Defendants in connection with the Company’s Gold Peak construction defect litigation. The Company had previously announced a March 13, 2012 verdict against the Reis Defendants relating to the Company’s Gold Peak condominium project in Douglas County, Colorado.

Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, Reis agreed to pay $17 million to the HOA, of which $5 million is payable on or before August 3, 2012 and $12 million is payable on or before October 15, 2012.

In the Settlement Agreement:

·  
Each party agreed to waive all appellate rights or claims.
·  
The HOA agreed to forgo enforcement of the HOA’s judgment against the Reis Defendants. The HOA agreed to withdraw any recordation of the judgment promptly following payment of the final installment of the settlement amount.
·  
None of the parties agreed to waive any rights of recovery against the general contractor on the Gold Peak project.
·  
The HOA agreed to waive its rights of recovery against all insurance companies, except with respect to coverage afforded the general contractor.
·  
Each of the Reis Defendants retained its rights, claims and defenses as between and among the other Reis Defendants.

The foregoing description of the Settlement Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety to the full text of the Settlement Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
