Item 1.01        Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

Item 2.01        Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

 

As previously disclosed in our 8-K filed on March 2, 2017, on February 28, 2017, we entered into a Patent Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Mr. Eriya Unten, a resident of Japan and an unrelated third-party (the “Buyer”), for our sale of U.S. Patents (Nos. 9,161,068 and 9,467,728) and related U.S. Patent Applications (Nos. 14/843,457 and 15/255,416), which sale includes our entire right, title and interest in such Patents and the rights, if any, to the related Patent Applications, the causes of action to sue for infringement thereof, and any other legal rights entitled by the original owner of the Patents and Patent Applications under the law. The disclosures in our March 2, 2017 8-K, as well as the exhibits to that document, are incorporated herein by reference.

 

As previously disclosed in our 8-K filed on June 2, 2017, in a letter dated May 29, 2017 and signed by us and the Buyer, the Buyer requested and we granted an extension to June 25, 2017 for the Buyer to address certain requirements by the bank financing this transaction and for Buyer to close the transaction.

 

As of the extended June 25, 2017 deadline, we did not receive further funds from the Buyer, which remains the case as of the June 29, 2017 filing date of this 8-K. The Buyer has represented to us that its financing is substantially in place and we are presently evaluating in consultation with the Buyer the expectations with respect to the completion of that financing and under what mutually acceptable terms we would go forward with a further extension of the deadline for closing this transaction.

 

Our receipt of additional purchase price funds beyond the $1.0 million non-refundable deposit already received is subject to risks and uncertainties that include, but are not limited to, Buyer’s ability to fund its obligation under the Agreement, including but not limited to its ability to obtain any necessary financing, the impact of any applicable U.S., Japanese or other government regulations affecting the Agreement, any changes in the status of the Patents or Patent Applications and/or the impact of any actions resulting from this announcement. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” below.
