Kay Strategies v. Ubiquity : http://www.otcmarkets.com/edgar/GetFilingHtml?FilingID=11361195#FORM10-Q_HTM_A_007 Kay Strategies filed a complaint against the Company and its officers and directors for various violations of federal and state securities law, in the District Court for the Southern District of California. The Company and its officers and directors thereafter moved to dismiss the complaint under FRCP 12(b)(5) and 12(b)(6). Kay Strategies chose instead to amend voluntarily. Kay Strategies then filed a First Amended Complaint, alleging the same federal and state securities violations. The amended pleading essentially alleges that Kay Strategies purchased restricted Ubiquity stock from a third party. Kay Strategies’ personal representatives allegedly advised it that they were orally informed by Ubiquity’s outside securities’ attorney that it would lift the stock restrictions by a certain date, which did not occur, allegedly causing Kay Strategies damages. Kay Strategies contends that it would not have purchased the Ubiquity stock from the third party had it not had this assurance. The Company denies that it ever made such a guarantee or represented same to Kay Strategies’ representative. Ubiquity also contends that if outside counsel made any statements [which the Company denies happening], counsel was never authorized to do so. Prior to the stock purchase, no authorized director, officer or agent of the Company met with or discussed with anyone at Kay Strategies its prospective purchase of the Company’s stock from any third party. Ubiquity recently filed another FRCP 12(b)(6) motion challenging the efficacy of these allegations. The district court thereafter dismissed Kay Strategies’ First Amended Complaint without prejudice.
