On December 24, 2015, Nemus Bioscience, Inc. (the “Company”) and the Company’s Executive Chairman of the Board were served with a complaint by the Company's former Chief Executive Officer, John B. Hollister. The complaint purports to allege claims arising out of his termination, including a breach of contract claim. The Company believes the facts alleged in the complaint are grossly inaccurate, and the claims are entirely without merit. Hollister was an at-will employee. His employment was terminated for good, lawful reasons at the unanimous recommendation of Company management, other than Hollister, and upon the unanimous vote of the members of the Board, other than Hollister. The Company and its Executive Chairman believe they have multiple meritorious claims they intend to vigorously pursue against Hollister.
