EDMONTON, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Dec. 9, 2015) - OneSoft Solutions Inc. (the "Company" or "OneSoft") (TSX VENTURE:OSS), a North American developer of cloud business solutions, is providing this update regarding the Company's Statement of Claim against Sylogist Ltd. ("Sylogist").
OneSoft filed its Statement of Claim against Sylogist on February 13, 2015, wherein OneSoft seeks to recover approximately $529,000 owed to OneSoft by Sylogist, being the balance of the purchase price as calculated by OneSoft for the sale of the Serenic operating companies to Sylogist in July, 2014 (the "Sale"). Sylogist responded by filing a Statement of Defence whereby Sylogist denies OneSoft's claim for $529,000 and claims that approximately $335,000 is owed to Sylogist for financial losses that Sylogist allegedly incurred post-Closing of the Sale. Sylogist also filed a counterclaim for $1,750,000 against OneSoft and three of its senior management personnel (the "Individuals") for alleged breaches of the Share Purchase Agreement (the "Counterclaim"). OneSoft and the Individuals filed a Statement of Defense to Sylogist's Counterclaim, wherein Sylogist's allegations are denied.
On December 8, 2015 OneSoft and the Individuals filed an application with the Court of Queen's Bench, Judicial Centre of Edmonton, for summary dismissal of Sylogist's Counterclaim, and an affidavit in support of that application. A hearing of the summary dismissal application has not yet been scheduled.
We believe that Sylogist's Statement of Defence and Counterclaim, or alternatively, portions thereof, disclose no reasonable claim or defence to a claim, and are frivolous, irrelevant and improper. We continue to vigorously defend these matters, to take all appropriate steps to protect our shareholders' interests, and to pursue collection of the balance of the purchase price owed by Sylogist. The summary dismissal application filed today is the latest step in that process.
More information can be obtained by reviewing the public court documents that pertain to this action number 1503-02555, as filed in the Court of Queen's Bench, Edmonton Judicial Centre. A copy of OneSoft's application for summary dismissal which summarizes our position regarding these matters will also be posted on SEDAR at www.sedar.com in the "Material Change Report" category under OneSoft Solutions Inc.
