NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
The Company has become involved in certain legal proceedings and claims which arise in the normal course of business. If an unfavorable ruling were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations, prospects, cash flows, financial position and brand. On February 14, 2018, plaintiff, Jeevesh Khanna, commenced an action in the Southern District of New York, alleging that several current and former officers violated federal securities laws between June 24, 2014 and January 4, 2018. The plaintiffs did not quantify any alleged damages in their complaint but, in addition to attorneys’ fees and costs, they seek to recover damages on behalf of themselves and other persons who purchased or otherwise acquired our stock during the putative class period and purportedly suffered financial harm as a result. We dispute these claims and intend to defend the matter vigorously. This litigation could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s resources and attention, which could harm the Company’s business and the vlaue of the Company’s common stock.
On May 3, 2018, plaintiff Adele J. Barke, derivatively on behalf of Ohr Pharmaceutical Inc. commenced an action against Michael Ferguson, Orin Hirschman, Thomas M. Riedhammer, June Almenoff and Jason Slakter alleging that the action was brought in the right and for the benefit of Ohr seeking to remedy their “breach of fiduciary duties, corporate waste and unjust enrichment that occurred between June 24, 2014 and the present.” Thereafter the complaint largely reiterated the allegations of the securities class action described above. It does not quantify any alleged damages. The Company and the individuals dispute these claims and intend to defend the matter vigorously. This litigation could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s resources and attention, which could harm the Company’s business and the value of the Company’s common stock.
