As reported on its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 14, 2024, the Company caused a declaratory judgment complaint (the “Company Complaint”) to be filed in the District Court for the City and County of Denver, Colorado, captioned SHF Holdings, Inc. v. Daniel Roda, Gregory W. Ellis, and James R. Carroll, Case No. 2024CV33187 (Denver Cty. Dist. Ct.).
The Company caused the Company Complaint to be filed in connection with concerns surrounding a payment of $3,000,000 (the “Merger Payment”) to the former stockholders of Rockview Digital Solutions, a Delaware corporation, d/b/a Abaca (“Abaca”), to be made by the Company on October 5, 2024, pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) and two subsequent amendments to the Merger Agreement (collectively, the “Amendments”), by and among the Company, SHF Merger Sub I, a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Company, SHF Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Abaca, and Daniel Roda, solely in such individual’s capacity as the representative of Abaca’s stockholders (the “Stockholders’ Representative”).

The Defendants’ answer and counterclaim, among other things, asserts several breaches of contract under the Merger Agreement, as amended, relating to a delay in payment of the Merger Payment, in addition to the validity of Stockholder Representatives’ execution of the Amendments. The Defendants’ counterclaim also asserts a third-party claim against the Chairman of the Company’s board of directors, Fred Niehaus.
