On November 27, 2013, the Synapse Sustainability Trust (“Synapse”) filed a complaint against the Company and Michael D. Farkas, the Company’s CEO, alleging various causes of action regarding compliance under certain agreements that governed the sale of Synapse’s assets to CCGI in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Onondaga (the “Court”). On or about January 7, 2014, CCGI filed its Answer and Affirmative Defenses. CCGI moved to dismiss Count V, breach of contract, because the Note contains an arbitration clause. Further, Farkas has moved to dismiss the Complaint for lack of personal jurisdiction.  On March 17, 2014, the Court dismissed Mr. Farkas from the action due to a lack of personal jurisdiction and dismissed Plaintiff’s Count V based on the existence of the Arbitration Clause contained in the Note. In the Court's letter decision issued on March 17, 2014, the Court granted Defendants' Motion to Dismiss the Complaint/Count V against Michael Farkas, and dismissed Count VI against CCGI.  Accordingly, the Court granted Plaintiff's Contempt Motion in part, and denied it in part, and scheduled a hearing on the contempt issue for May 13, 2014.  The hearing was canceled and the parties are now engaged in discovery.

 

On or about December 6, 2013, the Company filed a Complaint against Tim Mason and Mariana Gerzanych in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleging claims for Breach of Contract, Fraud in the Inducement, Civil Conspiracy to Commit Fraud, Unjust Enrichment, and Breach of Fiduciary Duty.  These claims were in relation to the Company’s purchase of 350 Green and the documents entered into (and allegedly breached by Gerzanych and Mason) related thereto.  The Defendants in this case were recently served with the court documents, and the Company intends to litigate this case vigorously. Each defendant filed for bankruptcy in January 2014 and as result a stay was granted preventing the case from moving forward. In April 2014, the defendants filed a complaint in the Bankruptcy Court alleging declaratory relief, breach of contract in the exchange agreement and the promissory note, claim and delivery, fraud in the inducement, unjust enrichment and objection to claim. CCGI moved to change venue to New York and moved to dismiss in California. Gerzanych and Mason have filed a motion to consolidate the New York action and the adversary complaint and tried before the Bankruptcy Court. Hearings on these matters are set for October 28, 2014.

 

On May 10, 2014, a firm executed an agreement to grant the Company exclusive rights to install charging stations on certain of the firm’s properties. In consideration, the Company would issue warrants to purchase a total of 2,607,712 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.97 per share based on the closing price on the execution date. The agreement has not been  countersigned by the Company nor have the warrants been issued as of August 19, 2014 and the agreement is not effective because certain closing conditions in the agreement have not been met.

  

On June 3, 2014, Manhattan Charging, Joseph Turquie (the Company's Chief Marketing Officer), Jamie Turquie and Brian Valenza, former Beam members, filed a complaint against the Company alleging various causes of action regarding compliance under certain agreements that governed the sale of Beam Charging, LLC to the Company. The Company is, and has been, actively working to resolve the issues outlined in the complaint. 

 

 

There have been five lawsuits filed by creditors of 350 Green regarding unpaid claims. These lawsuits relate solely to alleged pre-acquisition unpaid debts of 350 Green.  Also, there are other unpaid creditors, aside from those noted above, that claim to be owed certain amounts for pre-acquisition work done on behalf of 350 Green, and only 350 Green, that potentially could file lawsuits at some point in the future.

 

On August 7, 2014, 350 received a copy of a complaint filed by Sheetz, a former vendor of 350 Green alleging breach of contract an unjust enrichment. The complaint names 350 Green, 350 Holdings LLC and Car Charging Group in separate breach of contract counts and names all three entities together in an unjust enrichment claim.

 

From time to time, the Company is a defendant or plaintiff in various legal actions which arise in the normal course of business. As such the Company is required to assess the likelihood of any adverse outcomes to these matters as well as potential ranges of probable losses. A determination of the amount of the provision required for these commitments and contingencies, if any, which would be charged to earnings, is made after careful analysis of each matter. The provision may change in the future due to new developments or changes in circumstances. Changes in the provision could increase or decrease the Company’s earnings in the period the changes are made.
