ITEM 1.01 | ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT. |
On December 2, 2014, Advanced Cannabis Solutions, Inc. (the Company) entered into a settlement agreement with Stephen G. Calandrella, as described in Item 8.01 below. A copy of the Settlement Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.
ITEM 8.01 | OTHER EVENTS |
As previously disclosed on the Companys Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on September 30, 2014, the Company filed a lawsuit (the Action) against Stephen G. Calandrella (Calandrella) under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act).
According to the complaint filed in federal court, while a principal stockholder, Calandrella, unbeknownst to the Company, engaged in a series of purchases and sales of the Companys stock within a six-month period. The Action is captioned Advanced Cannabis Solutions, Inc. v. Stephen G. Calandrella, Colorado District Court Civil Action No. 14-CV-02649.
The Action stemmed from the Companys investigation into Calandrellas conduct, as prompted by the SECs suspension of trading in the Companys stock on March 27, 2014. After the Action was filed, the Company continued its investigation into, among other things, the circumstances surrounding Calandrellas acquisition and dispositions of his common stock of the Company. The Companys investigation culminated in this settlement of the Action.
On December 2, 2014, the Company agreed to settle and dispose of the claims asserted by it against Calandrella in the Action provided that Calandrella returns or causes to be returned for cancellation an aggregate of 1,125,000 shares of the Companys common stock to the Company by December 16, 2014 (the Settlement Agreement). The Settlement Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1. The shares of common stock to be returned for cancellation represent approximately 8.22% of the total outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. Following the return of the shares of common stock, it is anticipated that the Company will have an aggregate of 12,578,903 shares of common stock outstanding.
On December 8, 2014, the Company issued a press release (the Release) relating to certain corporate updates and other information currently available about the Company. A copy of the Release is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference in its entirety as Exhibit 99.1.
The information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
