These shares were issued in the name of Pini Ben David as collateral for a restricted stock loan that never funded. A demand for the shares was made approximately one year ago as the failure to fund caused a default on the part of Mr. Ben David. These shares were not returned. Therefore, SoftNet filed a legal action to declare the shares no longer valid and removing them from the issued and outstanding. Ultimately, an Order was issued by the Supreme Court of the State New York, in and for New York County, directing that the shares be canceled of record by Registrar and Transfer Company, the Company's transfer agent.
Mr. James Booth, CEO of SoftNet Technology stated, ``We are very pleased to have finally completed the task of canceling these shares. The reorganization of SoftNet's business structure has been finalized including bringing in a topnotch management team. We will continue to take the appropriate steps as a company including adding high-level personnel to the Board of Directors and Management that will enable the continued growth of the business operations of SoftNet well into the future.''
