Item 8.01 Other Events.



Auctus Fund Litigation


In March of 2019, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Auctus Fund, LLC ("Auctus"), whereby we borrowed $75,000 from Auctus under the terms of a convertible promissory note and included the issuance to 187,500 warrants to Auctus. Adjustment provisions in the Securities Purchase Agreement and the note required PCTL to adjust the number of warrants and exercise price based upon future financings.

In late 2019, we defaulted on the Auctus note, which triggered a number of default provisions of the note. We disputed the amounts claimed to be owed to Auctus, the number of shares of common stock to be reserved for conversion of the note and the number and exercise price of the warrants held by Auctus. Negotiations of these disputes lasted for several months.

In October of 2020, we entered into a Conditional Settlement Agreement with Auctus to settle all disputes and claims between the parties. A material dispute between the parties was the warrants, which according the Auctus had ballooned to 107,142,857 shares at an exercise price of $0.00035. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, Auctus agreed to settle such disputes and claims based upon the payment of $145,000 in cash and the issuance of 8,000,000 shares of common stock.

On September 1, 2021, we issued 8,000,000 common shares and paid the remaining cash balance to Auctus under the terms of the settlement. We fully complied with all payments required under the settlement agreement and issued the shares of common stock to Auctus, which triggered the mutual release of all disputes and claims between us and Auctus. Despite our compliance with the terms of the settlement agreement, Auctus has refused to execute the mutual release required by the settlement agreement and acknowledge the cancellation of the warrants as part of the settlement.

On January 14, 2022, we filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts (Case 1:22-cv-10053), against Auctus seeking damages for:





 1. Breach of Contract;


2. Breach of Implied Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing;

3. Reformation of Mutual Release;




 4. Fraud;


 5. Conversion; and


 6. Unjust Enrichment.



The case is currently ongoing.
