1.01 – Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

Intellectual Property Lawsuit Settlement

On March 23, 2021, SITO Mobile, Ltd., and its direct and indirect domestic subsidiary, SITO Mobile R&D IP, LLC (collectively, the “Company”), entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement”) with FloSports, Inc. (“FloSports”), to settle all claims in a lawsuit initiated by the Company in the United States District Court, Western District of Texas, Waco Division, under Case No. 6:20-cv-00471, alleging that FloSports was infringing upon certain patents owned by the Company (the “Patents”) (the “Lawsuit”). The Settlement was contingent upon the final approval of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey (the “Bankruptcy Court”) as part of the Company’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy Case Nos. 20-21436, 20-21435 and 20-21437 (the “Chapter 11 Cases”). On April 21, 2021 the Bankruptcy Court issued an Order approving the Agreement with FloSports and granting the Company’s request to seal portions of the Agreement relating to the financial terms of the settlement. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company agreed to: (i) grant FloSports and its subsidiaries an irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-assignable, non-sublicensable license in the Patents; and (ii) release FloSports and its subsidiaries from any and all claims of infringement through the date of the Agreement.
