Item 8.01  Other Events

 

As discussed in our previous filings, Galaxy Gaming, Inc. ("Galaxy") was served in December 2014 with a complaint by Red Card Gaming, Inc. ("RCG"), and AGS, LLC ("AGS"), regarding an asset purchase agreement ("APA") executed between Galaxy and RCG in September 2012.  The complaint filed in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada (the "District Court"), alleged fraud, breach of contract, and trademark infringement, among other allegations.  Galaxy filed counterclaims against RCG and AGS alleging, among other things, fraud on the trademark office and in the marketplace, misappropriation of our trade secrets, breach of contract, infringement of our trademark and interference with customer relationships.  Galaxy subsequently filed a demand for arbitration which was required pursuant to terms of the APA.  The complaint in the District Court case was stayed pending outcome from the arbitration hearings and both proceedings are collectively referred to as the "Nevada Litigation."

On May 16, 2016, the arbitration panel issued a final award (the "Final Award") incorporating the Interim Award and awarding Galaxy its attorneys' fees and costs.

On July 11, 2016, Galaxy entered into a settlement agreement (the "Settlement Agreement") with RCG and AGS for purposes of resolving the Nevada Litigation as well as the "In Bet Litigation" further referenced below.  Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, among other things, RCG, AGS and Galaxy agreed to a mutual release of all claims and counter-claims.  RCG and AGS also agreed to terminate all of their rights and obligations related to the APA, and AGS agreed to pay Galaxy the sum of $350,000 and agreed to the injunctive terms of the Final Award. Furthermore, Galaxy agreed to dismiss the complaint it filed in November 2014 against In Bet Gaming, Inc. and In Bet, LLC (collectively "In Bet"), alleging that In Bet's In-Between side bet game infringed one  of Galaxy's patents.  AGS became involved in an Inter-Partes Review subsequent to November 2014 concerning the patent at issue because AGS had title and interest in the game In-Between.

Galaxy has included the Final Award as an Exhibit to this Report pursuant to Item 8.01 Other Events. The Final Award shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 17 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
