Item 8.01 Other Events
On September 15, 2020, Growlife, Inc. (the “Company”) received notice that William Blackburn and Brad Mickelsen, minority shareholders of EZ-CLONE Enterprises, Inc. (“Plaintiffs”), a majority owned subsidiary of the Company, filed a complaint against the Company and its officers Marco Hegyi and Mark Scott (“Officers”), currently in the Superior Court of California, County of Sacramento (“Complaint”) for claims related to breach under the Purchase and Sale Agreement dated October 2018 between the Company and Plaintiffs.
The Complaint also alleges that the Company and its Officers made certain false representations and other claims to consummate the Transaction and as a result has failed to complete the second closing as required under Purchase and Sale Agreement. The Plaintiffs are seeking rescission of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, unspecified damages in excess of ten thousand dollars, and other equitable relief.
Although the ultimate outcome of this matter cannot be determined with certainty, the Company believes that the allegations stated in the Complaint are without merit and the Company and the Officers intend to defend themselves vigorously against such allegations.
