$MSRT ~ 8K FILED
Item 8.01 Other Events.
As previously reported in the Company’s current report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on October 18, 2017, Mr. Dietrich was terminated as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer by the Company’s Board on October 16, 2017. The Company and Mr. Dietrich entered into a Separation Agreement on October 17, 2017 (the “Separation Agreement”), which includes, among other things, (a) a provision that prohibits Mr. Dietrich from making non-disparaging statements concerning the Company and related persons, and (b) a “standstill” provision which includes, among other things, Mr. Dietrich’s agreement to not solicit, directly or through anyone acting on his behalf, a proxy vote with respect to any securities of the Company.
On November 14, 2017, the Company filed an action against Isaac Dietrich, its former Chief Executive Officer and a member of its Board of Directors, with the Denver District Court in Denver, Colorado, captioned as MassRoots, Inc. v. Isaac Dietrich, Case Number 2017CV34234 (the “Complaint”).
The Complaint alleges that Mr. Dietrich intentionally made, after the date of the Separation Agreement, specified public statements to, and quoted by, Marijuana Business Daily that (a) violate the non-disparagement provision in the Separation Agreement, and (b) demonstrate Mr. Dietrich’s intent to violate the standstill provision of the Separation Agreement, which, in both cases, were made with the intent to harm the Company. In addition, the Complaint alleges that, among other things, Mr. Dietrich intentionally misappropriated Company funds and engaged in self-dealing by causing the Company to make unauthorized payments to him and third parties on his behalf, for his personal benefit, in various amounts totaling in excess of $250,000, which also constituted a wrongful conversion and civil theft of Company funds, and that Mr. Dietrich has been unjustly enriched as a consequence of the foregoing.
MassRoots is seeking monetary damages, attorney’s fees and costs, to the extent permissible, and such other relief that the court deems appropriate.
The information in this current report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
