Item 8.01 Other Events

  

As previously disclosed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, on January 29, 2016, Mendocino Wine Group (“MWG”) filed a complaint against Phillip Hurst and H.D.D. LLC (the “LLC”) alleging breach of fiduciary duty, interference with contract, and interference with economic advantage. On November 10, 2016, the Sonoma County Superior Court granted MWG’s Motion to Consolidate the Hurst/LLC case with a second complaint MWG filed against a law firm for legal malpractice and breach of fiduciary duty. On November 20, 2017, the Sonoma County Superior Court granted Phillip Hurst and the LLC’s Motion for Summary Judgment to dismiss the breach of fiduciary duty claim. MWG has dismissed the other two causes of action.
