On February 13, 2015 we, together with our subsidiary SLC, filed an action against Southeast Show Clubs, LLC and Michael Tomkovich in the SCNY.
Defendants had utilized the “Scores” name and trademark in connection with their ownership and operation of adult entertainment clubs in Jacksonville and Palm
Beach, Florida and in Savannah, Georgia. In this action we sought damages for breach of contract in the amount of $900,000 plus interest, damages due to
defamation and tortious interference in connection with the use of the “Scores” trademark in the amount of $500,000, issuance of a permanent injunction
prohibiting defendants from using the “Scores” name and trademark with respect to the adult entertainment clubs they operate in Jacksonville and Palm Beach,
Florida and Savannah, Georgia and all websites controlled by defendants, and an accounting by defendants of all merchandise items sold by them containing the
“Scores” trademark. As of April 17, 2015 the parties settled this matter. Pursuant to the settlement, defendants agreed to pay us $150,000, payable in 13
installments. The first installment of $50,000 was paid upon finalization of the settlement, with 12 subsequent monthly payments of $8,333.33 commencing on
May 1, 2015. The defendants also executed consents to the entry of a permanent injunction against them prohibiting their continued use of the name and trademark
“Scores” at their clubs if either or both of the defendants default in their obligations under the settlement. In connection with the settlement, the parties entered into
an amendment of the July 18, 2013 License Agreement between them. The amendment, among other things, (i) removes the Palm Beach club from the license
agreement, (ii) provides that the license agreement shall only apply to the Jacksonville and Savannah nightclubs, (iii) requires the licensees to pay us a fixed
royalty of $5,000 per month for each club, commencing May 1, 2015, and (iv) requires that the Savannah nightclub and any related websites utilize the name
“Scores Presents.”
