ITEM 8.01

OTHER EVENTS.

As set forth in the Registrant’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 (the “2016 10-K”), on August 22, 2014, GEOMC filed a complaint against the Registrant in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut. The allegations included in that complaint, as amended, are described in the 2016 10-K. On September 29, 2017, the District Court entered a final judgment that awarded GEOMC, among other relief, monetary damages of $4,673,406, in addition to pre-judgment interest of $5,678,764, with both amounts totaling $10,352,170. Calmare appealed the judgment to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.

On March 12, 2019, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit vacated the District Court’s judgment and remanded the case to the District Court for further proceedings. Each of the parties may seek reconsideration of the Second Circuit’s judgment within fourteen days after the date of the judgment.
