SEC Settlement

On September 7, 2018, the SEC filed a complaint that named, among others, Mr. Brauser, as well as certain companies including Grander Holdings Inc., as defendants. The complaint, which was amended in March 2019, alleged that the defendants had engaged in activity designed to artificially boost the stock price of three microcap public companies and then profit by selling their shares at the increased prices. On March 6, 2020, a final judgment (the “Final Judgment”) was entered by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York in such matter with respect to Brauser. Under the terms of the Final Judgment, Brauser agreed to comply with and maintain certain investment and disclosure practices, including (i) compliance with Section 10(b) of the Securities Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, (ii) compliance with Sections 5 and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) in the offer or sale of any security by the use of any means or instruments of transportation or communication in interstate commerce, (iii) timely filings in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, and (iv) restrictions limiting investment activities involving penny stock, subject to certain exceptions and as provided in Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act. In addition, as part of the Final Judgment, Brauser agreed to pay disgorgement, prejudgment interest and civil penalties totaling $1,175,176.

Other than as described above, during the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violations with respect to such laws.

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations

Mr. Brauser received 154,166 shares of common stock of the Issuer pursuant to two Restricted Stock Unit (“RSU”) agreements with the Company, where there was a vesting schedule and no consideration was given. The additional securities owned by the Brauser Entities were purchased with personal funds or working capital.

All securities owned by the Benz Entities were purchased with his personal funds.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

The Reporting Persons intend to engage in discussions with the Issuer and the Issuer’s management and board of directors, other stockholders of the Issuer and other persons that may relate to governance and board composition, management, operations, business, assets, capitalization, financial condition, strategic plans and the future of the Issuer. The Reporting Persons may also take one or more of the actions described in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D and may discuss such actions with the Issuer and Issuer’s management and the board of directors, other stockholders of the Issuer and other persons.

Each such action may be subject to, and depend upon, a variety of factors, including (i) current and anticipated trading prices and the expected value of common stock of the Issuer, (ii) the Issuer’s financial condition and position, results of operations, plans, prospects and strategies, (iii) general industry conditions, (iv) the availability, form and terms of financing and other investment and business opportunities, (v) general stock market and economic conditions, (vi) tax considerations and (vii) other factors. Each action described herein may be effected, made or taken, as applicable, at any time and/or from time to time without prior notice. Although the actions described herein reflect the plans presently contemplated by the Reporting Persons with respect to the Issuer, each such plan is subject to change at any time and from time to time dependent upon contingencies and assumed and speculative conditions and other factors, including actions taken by the Issuer, the Issuer’s board of directors, other security holders of the Issuer and other parties and the outcome of the discussions, communications, transactions and other actions described herein. There can be no assurance that any such plan will be consummated or pursued or result in any transaction described herein or other transaction or that any action contemplated by any such plan (or any similar action) will be taken.

The Reporting Persons intend to review their investments in the Issuer on a continuing basis. The Brauser Entities and the Benz Entities intend to consult with each other in connection with their respective investments in common stock of the Issuer as described in Item 6 below.
