Litigation

 

As of the date of this report, there are no pending legal proceedings to which we or our properties are subject, except as described below and for routine litigation incurred in the normal course of business.

 

In February 2019, a complaint was filed against us and five of our employees in the U.S. Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York by mGage, LLC (mGage, LLC v. Glenn Stansbury, et al., No. 19-cv-1165-CM (S.D.N.Y. Filed 2/7/19). In the complaint, the plaintiff alleged that we and five of our employees, who previously worked at mGage, misappropriated confidential information belonging to mGage in violation of the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act, that those same individuals violated non-compete agreements through their employment at Mobivity and that we tortiously interfered with mGage’s business opportunities. On February 7, 2019 the court granted a preliminary injunction enjoining Mobivity and the individual employees from working together at Mobivity or using any of the alleged confidential information.  The court also directed expedited discovery. The court has set a conference date in the case for June 21, 2019. We deny all liability on the part of Mobivity and we intend to vigorously defend against this lawsuit.
