On November 28, 2017 (the “Effective Date”), Tauriga Sciences, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Confidential Settlement Agreement and Release (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Group 10 Holdings LLC (“Group 10”) to fully extinguish the $348,000 assessed liquidated damage total (the “Liquidated Damages”). The Liquidated Damages assessment was derived from the $96,000 12% Convertible Debenture issued to Group 10 by Tauriga on July 14, 2015 (the “Note”).

 

The consideration to be paid by Tauriga to Group 10 is as follows: one-time cash payment of $60,000 due on or before December 10, 2017 and one-time issuance of 25,000,000 shares of Tauriga’s common stock.

 

Both the Company and Group 10 agreed to exchange general releases of all claims against the other relating to the Note and/or the Liquidated Damages as part of the Settlement Agreement and to avoid any future public comments regarding the settlement, unless required by law.
