The settlement is outlined in the Memorandum of Understanding which can be found by clicking below. Under the settlement, shareholders could received millions of dollars if the newly issued Class C shares trade at a discount.

The Grant Law Firm Beats Motion to Dismiss in Bovie
The Grant Law Firm has successfully opposed a motion to dismiss the derivative action, Arbit, et al. v. Makrides, et al., 11-cv-02020, pending in the Middle District of Florida, on demand futility grounds. In the decision, Judge James Moody found that the allegations of the complaint demonstrated a substantial likelihood of liability against a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors for the wrongdoing alleged therein, and therefore that a pre-suit demand upon the Board prior to the commencement of the derivative action would have been futile. A copy of the decision can be viewed by clicking on the link below.
