Washingtoner/10125238

SEATTLE, July 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- On July 17, 2019, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") filed a lawsuit against Garrett O'Rourke and Michael J. Black alleging that, between May 2016 and July 2019, the defendants schemed to sell the stock of the five publicly traded companies listed below to investors through false and misleading statements and high pressure stock promotional campaigns, SEC v. O'Rourke, et al., 19-CV-4137 (KAM) (E.D.N.Y.).  The SEC also alleged that the defendants disguised their control over some or all of the companies and their stock, thereby circumventing their obligations to register the stock with the Commission pursuant to Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933 and conduct sales in accordance with the governing registration regulations.  The matter has been resolved against O'Rourke, and the SEC has collected over $5.7 million (the "O'Rourke Distribution Fund") that it now seeks to distribute.  Additional funds timely directed to the O'Rourke Distribution Fund, and accrued interest, will be added to the Distribution Fund.
