ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
On September 9, 2003, Quepasa Corporation (Quepasa or the Company) settled the litigation previously commenced against it by Merrill Communications, LLC (Merrill).
On April 22, 2003, Merrill filed case no. CV2003-090706 against the Company in the Maricopa County Superior Court at Phoenix, Arizona, for breach of contract related to certain financial printing services performed by Merrill in conjunction with the previously contemplated merger between Quepasa and Great Western Land and Recreation, Inc.
In its complaint, Merrill alleged that it was entitled to a principal sum of $203,187, prejudgment interest of $18,087, fees, and expenses. Without admitting or denying the allegations of the complaint filed by Merrill, Quepasa agreed to settle all claims and make a one-time cash payment in the amount of $101,600 to Merrill.
Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the case will be immediately dismissed with prejudice, each party to bear its own costs and legal fees.
The dismissal of this action represents the resolution of all pending material litigation for events which occurred prior to April, 2002, at the time of significant management changes within the Company. No other material litigation is currently pending against the Company, nor has such litigation been threatened against the Company as of the date of this filing.
