KIT digital, Inc. Takes Legal Action Against utd. by content NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Aug 1, 2013) - KIT digital, Inc. (the Company), a global provider of digital television and media solutions, announced that it has commenced legal action against utd. by content, formerly known as Content Solutions International N.V.
In June 2012, Content Solutions International N.V. acquired KIT digitals content solutions business for $18.8 million, comprised of an initial cash payment of $1.0 million and a $17.8 million multi-year earn-out payment obligation based on revenue achieved. In January 2013, Content Solutions International N.V. changed its name to utd. by content. The complaint filed by KIT digital alleges breach of contract and seeks avoidance and recovery of a fraudulent transfer.
This action is a result of a review of all partnerships and agreements by the Companys new leadership team as they anticipate emergence from Chapter 11.
We know that utd. by content has customers and is generating revenue. We also know that utd. by content is choosing to ignore its obligation to pay KIT digital, Inc. a percentage of its revenue as an earn-out payment, said Fabrice Hamaide, Chief Financial Officer of the Company.
When we sold Petr Str nsk our content solutions business, he agreed to pay for it. The complaint we filed today seeks to reverse the transaction, effectively returning the assets of utd. by content to KIT digital since none of the promised $17.8 million in earn-out payments have been made.
It is every intention of the new leadership team to set the Company up for success. Part of this process is ensuring the value and integrity of the Company is protected for employees, customers and investors for the immediate and long-term future.
A complete copy of the complaint is available on www.americanlegalclaims.com/kdi.
