Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company (or entities in which the Company has interests), or industry results, to differ materially from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.


Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which reflect management’s view only as of the date of this Form 8-K. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions to these forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect events or circumstance after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, conditions or circumstances.

ITEM 7.01

REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE


On June 4, 2018, Spindle, Inc. (the “Company”) received service of a complaint in a lawsuit titled “Michael Kelly and iOT Broadband, LLC (“iOT”), plaintiffs, v. Jack Scott and Spindle, Inc., defendants” that was filed on May 22, 2018 in the District Court in Dallas County, Texas, cause number DC-18-06656. The complaint purports to assert a claim of breach of contract against Spindle, claims of fraud against Jack Scott (“Scott”), the Interim CEO of the Company, and a claim of breach of fiduciary duty against both Scott and the Company in connection with and Amended and Restated Senior Unsecured Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) owned by Mr. Kelly who assigned his interest and rights in the note to iOT.


The Company believes that it will successfully defend against the actions described above, and it intends to pursue counterclaims against the plaintiffs which may, if successful, result in an award of damages in favor of the Company. However, the Company does anticipate that it will incur significant additional legal expenses as it pursues a vigorous defense against each of these actions.





2




While the Company believes that it will successfully defend against these actions, no assurances can be given as to: (i) the outcome of these or legal proceedings and (ii) the related impact of an unanticipated adverse outcome of these proceedings on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or near-term liquidity.


The information in this Item 7.01 is being furnished and shall not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise be subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.
