Settlement of Warrant Holder Claim

ACT announced today that it had entered into a Settlement Agreement with Gary D. Aronson (“Aronson”) and John S. Gorton, individually and as trustee of the John S. Gorton Separate Property Trust (“Gorton”), relating to lawsuits, previously disclosed in regulatory filings, filed against the Company by each of Aronson and Gorton in August 2011 in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The lawsuits claimed that the Company breached an anti-dilution provision contained in warrants held by each of Aronson and Gorton. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, in exchange for dismissal by Aronson and Gorton of the pending and non-consolidated lawsuit with prejudice and a mutual release of claims, the Company agreed that it would issue to the parties a total of 384 million shares of common stock, as payment in full satisfaction of any claims, including legal fees, by Aronson and Gorton in connection with their respective enforcement of the terms of their warrants.

The Company disclosed in its Quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2014, that it had reserved approximately $13 million to settle the litigation and the unsettled liabilities associated with the warrants. In accordance with relevant accounting rules, the Company also disclosed that its total estimated exposure for the matter could have been as much as $25 million more than the amount accrued.

Edward Myles, ACT’s Interim President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer commented, “We believe the resolution of this litigation removes uncertainty from the Company's capital structure and represents a significant step toward our objective of listing on a National Exchange. Furthermore, resolution of this matter now, allows us to avoid significant additional legal expenses.”
