In October and November 2013, three securities class action lawsuits were filed against Catalyst and certain of its officers and directors in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. The complaints, which were substantially identical, purported to state a claim for violation of federal securities laws on behalf of a class of those who purchased Catalyst's common stockbetween October 31, 2012 and October 18, 2013. Two of the lawsuits were voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiffs, and the last remaining case was the case dismissed on Friday.
