Minds + Machines Group Limited
("MMX", the "Company")
Settlement Agreement
Minds + Machines Group Limited (AIM:MMX), the top-level domain registry company, announces that it has entered into a settlement agreement (the "Settlement Agreement") with the vendors of ICM Registry, LLC ("ICM"), including Mr Stuart Lawley, the former majority shareholder of ICM (together the "Settlement Parties") pursuant to recent alleged warranty claims, under the acquisition agreement entered into between the Company and ICM on 3 May 2018 (the "Acquisition Agreement").
Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement the Company has agreed to pay the Settlement Parties in aggregate US$1.0 million in full and final settlement of all claims brought by the Settlement Parties (the "Settlement") relating to the acquisition of ICM by the Company under the Acquisition Agreement.
Whilst the Directors believe that the alleged claims of the Settlement Parties are without merit, they believe the swift Settlement is in the best interests of the Company and allows it to focus on restoring shareholder value without the distraction of potentially expensive and time consuming litigation.
The Settlement Agreement will allow for a more positive relationship between the parties, including in particular Mr. Lawley, for the benefit of all MMX shareholders.
