Item 8.01 Other Events.

On October 20, 2020, VMS Software, Inc. (“VMS”) filed the litigation captioned, VMS Software, Inc. v. Sysorex, Inc., U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts Eastern Division, Case No. 1:20-cv-11895-WGY (the “Litigation”). In its complaint, VMS alleges that Sysorex, Inc. (the “Company”) failed to make agreed to payments to VMS in a previously agreed to settlement agreement in the amount of $652,255 (plus interest of 8% per year from June 28, 2019). Sysorex filed an Answer to the Complaint and VMS filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings based on the admission that no payments have been made under the settlement agreement. The motion was originally scheduled to be heard on March 23, 2021, but deferred to March 30, 2021, at which time the court indicated that it would be entering judgment against the Company in the amount of $735,273.97, plus post-judgment interest as provided by law. To avoid a judgment in the amount of $735,273.97, Sysorex, Inc. (“SYSX”) entered into settlement negotiations with VMS, which ultimately resulted in the execution of a definitive Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement”) by and between the parties as of April 6, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). The material terms of the Settlement are as follows:

●

SYSX was required to pay, and did pay to VMS, seventy-five thousand dollars ($75,000.00) within twenty-four (24) hours of the Effective Date of the Settlement. Such payment was made by wire transfer and was received by VMS’s bank by 6:00 PM on the first business day following the Effective Date.

●

SYSX shall make four (4) additional periodic payments to VMS, commencing thirty (30) days from the Effective Date, each in the amount of one hundred sixty-five thousand sixty-eight dollars and fifty cents ($165,068.50). The payments shall be made by wire transfer and must be received by VMS’s bank by 6:00PM EDT on the date that each such payment is due.

●

There is no penalty for prepayment.

●

If VMS receives from SYSX payments totaling six hundred twenty-five thousand dollars ($625,000.00) within forty-five (45) days from the Effective Date, VMS will accept such six hundred twenty-five thousand dollars ($625,000.00) as full satisfaction of SYSX’s payment obligations under the Settlement.

●

If VMS receives from SYSX payments totaling six hundred fifty thousand dollars ($650,000.00) within sixty (60) days from the Effective Date, VMS will accept such six hundred fifty thousand dollars ($650,000.00) as full satisfaction of SYSX’s payment obligations under the Settlement.

●

If, within ninety-one (91) days of VMS’s receipt of any of SYSX’s payments pursuant to its obligations in Paragraph 1 of the Settlement, SYSX commences, or a third party commences against SYSX, any case, proceeding, or other action under the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 101 et seq, which is not dismissed within thirty (30) days, then VMS’s release of SYSX contained in Paragraph 2 of the Settlement shall be null, void, and of no force or effect, and the Parties shall be returned to the position they were in prior to execution of this Agreement, except that VMS may retain any payment made to it by SYSX, crediting same against those sums claimed by VMS.

●

The Settlement includes full and mutual releases and a Stipulation of Dismissal with Prejudice, which is to be held in escrow by VMS’s counsel until all payments constituting full satisfaction of SYSX’s payment obligations under the Settlement are met.

●

The Settlement includes such other terms as are typical of settlement agreements including the relevant release language.

●

On April 7, 2021, NOTICE of Settlement Joint Request to Administratively Close Case During Performance of Settlement Agreement’s Terms was entered into the case docket.

This is a summary only of the terms and conditions of the Settlement Agreement and are qualified in its entirety by reference to the Settlement Agreement attached hereto and incorporated by reference as exhibit 10.1.
