This Federal lawsuit against Cowan Gunteski was initially filed by the Company on November 4, 2015 and subsequent to that there was a lengthy mediation process. At this point in time, the Company has realized out of pocket cash losses and debts (inclusive of liquidated damages) that exceed $925,000 USD. Additional potential damages include but are not limited to: inability to properly maintain Pilus Energy’s Intellectual Property (“Pilus IP”), the July 31, 2015 delisting of TAUG shares from OTCQB to Pink Sheets, loss of market capitalization (“market cap”), loss of trading liquidity (“trading volume”), inability to remedy filing delinquency due to Cowan’s failure to return Tauriga’s FY 2013 & 2014 work papers timely, and loss of substantial business opportunities. In aggregate the Company intends to seek monetary award(s), during trial, well in excess of $3,000,000 USD; that figure is expected to continually increase as additional time lapses. On a positive note, Cowan Gunteski has substantial insurance coverage for its malpractice (“insurance coverage”).
