Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 28, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), CipherLoc Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual General Release (the “Settlement”) with Michael De La Garza, a director of the Company. The Settlement relates to certain pending actions, including (i) CipherLoc Corporation vs. Michael De La Garza, MSR, LLC, and James LaGanke, as Trustee of the Caramel Trust II, Civil Action No. 1:19-CV-01147-LY in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, Austin Division, (ii) CipherLoc Corporation vs. Michael De La Garza, Cause No. D-1-GN-19-005253 in the 53rd Judicial District Court of Travis County, Texas, and (iii) Michael De La Garza and CipherLoc, Inc. v. Tom Wilkinson, Anthony Ambrose, Manchester PR, LLC and Manchester Explorer, LP; Cause No. D-1-GN-19-004708 in the 53rd Judicial District Court of Travis County, Texas. Under the Settlement, all of the foregoing actions are to be dismissed with prejudice.
Pursuant to the Settlement, Mr. De La Garza, agreed to, among other things, (i) resign as a director of the Company as of the Effective Date and confirmed that he had no disagreements with the Board of Directors, and (ii) return 13,137,757 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Forfeited Stock”), held by him to the Company’s treasury. The Company agreed to pay Mr. De La Garza an aggregate sum of $400,000 (the “Settlement Amount”), payable as follows: (A) $300,000 on or before ten (10) business days after the last to occur (the “Settlement Date”) of (i) the execution of the Settlement by Mr. De La Garza, (ii) actual receipt by the Company of the Forfeited Stock and consummation of the deliveries contemplated by the Settlement, and (iii) the receipt by the Company of a completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 from Mr. De La Garza; and (B) $25,000 on each of the four (4) succeeding quarterly anniversaries of the Settlement Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Mr. De La Garza is not in compliance with the Settlement on any such payment date, then no payment shall be due and the Company shall have the right to pursue any and all remedies against De La Garza including, without limitation, seeking the return of all amounts paid.
In exchange for the consideration described above, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Settlement, the Company and Mr. De La Garza mutually agreed to grant each other a general release.
