Item
8.01. Other Events.
On February
14, 2017, eWellness Healthcare Corporation, a Nevada corporation with offices located in California (the “Registrant”)
was served by a complaint filed by Rodney Schoemann (“Schoemann”) in the State of Louisiana. The lawsuit alleges that
the Registrant is indebted to Schoemann under a promissory note (the “Schoemann Note”) stemming from four
loans to the Registrant in the last 20 months amounting to $75,500 in total original principal bearing interest at 12%
per annum, of which $45,202 has been repaid.
Nevertheless,
Schoemann claims in his lawsuit that as a result of alleged defaults and extensions of the Schoemann Note, the Registrant is now
indebted in the amount of $253,677 inclusive of interest and penalties at an effective rate exceeding 70% per annum,
far in excess of the maximum rate allowable in California or Louisiana.
The Registrant
and its counsel have determined that: (i) Schoemann is not a licensed lender in the State of California, where the loan was made
and the $75,500 was deposited and therefore was not permitted under California law to make loans in the State; (ii)
the interest rate Schoemann is seeking to collect is usurious and therefore interest claimed in the lawsuit is neither collectible
nor enforceable.
The Registrant
and counsel are of the opinion that the Schoemann suit is wholly without merit and the rules of diversity of jurisdiction apply.
Furthermore, we believe that the action should be removed from Louisiana state court to the United States Federal District
Court in Baton Rouge, LA, where California law should be applied.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this Report to be signed on its behalf
by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
