Item 8.01Other Information.

 

In September 2017, HRD purchased Common Compounds, Inc., n/k/a CCI Billing, Inc. d/b/a Complete Claim Management (“CCI”) and EZPharmaRx, LLC n/k/a Script Connection, LLC (“SCLLC”) from Hunter Burroughs (the “Seller”). In August 2018, the Seller filed a lawsuit against the Company in the Circuit Court in and for Miami-Dade County, Florida. In the complaint, the Seller alleged breach of contract and fraud, claiming that the Company failed to pay him approximately $381,000 in excess working capital as of the closing of the acquisition and failed to reimburse him for certain credit card expenses. The Company believed that the Seller’s claims were without merit because, among other things, his calculation of working capital did not follow the methodology provided for in the Securities Purchase Agreement for the transaction. In fact, there was a working capital shortfall at closing of approximately $725,000 (for which we demanded payment in June 2018). We answered the complaint, denying the Seller’s claims and filed a counterclaim against the Seller for the sums due the Company for the working capital shortfall and for damages arising from Seller’s breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, fraud in the inducement, indemnification, and violation of his non-competition and non-solicitation agreement with the Company. 

  

During the discovery process, the Seller produced documents in response to the Company’s requests for production, responded to interrogatories, and sat for two depositions. The Company discovered that the Seller perpetrated a fraud upon the court and the Company by, among other things, doctoring several critical emails, providing false responses to sworn interrogatories, and giving false deposition testimony. At the Seller’s second deposition, Health-Right’s counsel confronted the Seller about the discovery violations. In response, the Seller invoked his Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination, and the Seller’s counsel subsequently withdrew from representing the Seller. The Company promptly filed a motion to strike the Seller’s pleadings and for the entry of a default judgment against the Seller for his fraud upon the court.

 

On December 28, 2020, the court granted HRD’s motion. The court found that the Seller had intentionally perpetrated a fraud upon the court and the Company by doctoring evidence, withholding evidence, destroying evidence, providing false interrogatory responses, and providing false deposition testimony. The court further found the Seller’s fraud was pervasive and permeated the entire case. As a result, the court struck the Seller’s pleadings in their entirety. Specifically, the court struck the Seller’s complaint and held that he would take nothing on his claims against the Company. The court also struck the Seller’s pleadings directed at the Company’s counterclaim and entered a final default judgment on liability against the Seller. The parties are currently in the process of setting a trial on damages.
