Lawsuit against MIDAM: MIAMI, FL -- (Marketwired)
Post# of 1525
Progressive Care Inc. (RXMD) has received numerous requests to explain recent heavy selling in its common stock.
Summary
The company has learned that Midam Ventures, LLC, the company's Investor Relations consultant, sold 1,000,000 shares on February 13, 2017 and between 300,000 and 400,000 shares during the period February 8 to 10, 2017. It is not yet known whether Midam sold any additional shares before February 8, 2017 or after February 13, 2017. There is heavy selling today, February 21, 2017. The company does not know the identity of the seller or sellers.
Midam is contractually barred from selling more than 50,000 shares of Progressive common stock per day. On account of Midam's breaches of contract, Progressive has filed a civil action against Midam for breach of contract, seeking damages and a temporary injunction against further sales in excess of Midam's contractual limitations.
Background
In connection with Midam's engagement as Progressive's IR consultant, Progressive issued Midam shares 20,000,000 shares in 2015 and 3,000,000 shares in October 2016. Under federal law, these shares were restricted from open-market sales for 1 year from issuance. As of February 8, 2017, Midam held 10,000,000 unsold shares from the 2015 issuance, which were no longer subject to the 1-year sales restriction. The 3,000,000 shares are still restricted.
The October 2016 written agreement between Midam and Progressive forbids Midam from selling more than 50,000 Progressive shares per day. That contractual prohibition applies to of all shares issued to Midam, including the shares issued to Midam in 2015.
Thus, Midam's sale of 1,000,000 shares on February 13, 2017, and any sales the prior week in excess of $50,000 per day were barred covered by this contractual limitation.
Lawsuit
Progressive Care (RXMD) has filed a lawsuit against Midam, alleging breach of contract, seeking monetary damages, and also seeking a temporary injunction against further sales in breach of its agreement with Progressive, an immediate buyback of all shares sold in breach of the agreement, and other temporary relief.
The case is pending in the Circuit Court in and for Miami-Dade County, Florida, and is awaiting assignment of a case number. Progressive will be seeking an immediate hearing on the company's request for a temporary injunction.
