Item 8.01 Other Events
Dismissal of Canadian Class Action
On June 4, 2018, the
Ontario Superior Court of Justice rendered a decision in the ongoing class action case filed by
Roberto Paniccia
(as plaintiff)
against the Company and certain other individual defendants. Specifically, the Court dismissed (with costs) the putative class
members’ motion for leave to proceed with the plaintiff’s claims for misrepresentations of material facts pursuant
to the Ontario Securities Act.
The referenced class
action claim was commenced by
Roberto Paniccia
on June 5, 2015, alleging violations of the Ontario Securities Act (and equivalent
legislation in other Canadian provinces and territories) as well as common law misrepresentations based on allegedly materially
false and misleading statements and omissions in the Company’s public statements. Following the Court’s decision, on
June 18, 2018, the plaintiff and each of the defendants consented to the dismissal of the action with prejudice (and without costs),
subject to the Court’s formal approval.
Signatures
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
