Other Events.
|
On April 18, 2014, a class action lawsuit (the “Complaint”) was filed against GrowLife, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) in the United States District Court, Central District of California (Randy Romero v. Growlife, Inc. et al; Case No.: CV14-03015). The Complaint alleges two claims: (1) Violation of Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”) against the Company and the individual executive officers and board of directors (collectively, the “Board”); and (2) Violation of Section 20(a) of the Act against the members of the Board.
On May 2, 2014, the Company was served with the Complaint. The Complaint alleges (among other things) that the Company and the Board published certain documents and filings that were inaccurate and/or inadequate, causing Company securities to be traded at an inflated price. The Complaint further alleges that the Company’s and Board’s actions caused the members in the class action to suffer damages in an amount to be proven at trial. The Complaint also claims that members of the Board are in violation of Section 20(a) of the Act due to their position and relationship with the Company and their alleged involvement with the Company’s violation of Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 of the Act.
