Item 7.01.
Regulation FD Disclosure.
On
February 13, 2009, CLST Holdings, Inc. (the
Company
)
filed a lawsuit (the
Federal Court Action
)
in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas against
Red Oak Fund, L.P., Red Oak Partners, LLC, and David Sandberg (collectively,
Red Oak
). The Companys Original Complaint and
Application for Injunctive Relief alleged that Red Oak engaged in numerous
violations of federal securities laws in making purchases of the Companys
common stock and sought to enjoin any future unlawful purchases of the Companys
common stock by Red Oak, its agents, and persons or entities acting in concert
with it. The Companys First Amended
Complaint and Application for Injunctive Relief added three Red Oak affiliates
(Pinnacle Partners, LLC; Pinnacle Fund, LLLP; and Bear Market Opportunity Fund,
L.P.) as defendants and alleged the same and other violations of federal
securities laws against Red Oak and them (Red Oak and its affiliates are
referred to collectively as the
Red Oak Group
).
On
January 20, 2010, the Red Oak Group filed its Combined Motion for Leave to
Amend, to Join Third Parties, to Vacate Scheduling Order and to Continue the
Trial Date (
Motion for Leave
). By its Motion for Leave, the Red Oak Group
sought to join Messrs. Durham, Kaiser, and Tornek as defendants and to add
claims against them and the Company respectively for alleged violations of
Sections 13(d), 14(a), and 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the
Exchange Act
), and certain rules promulgated
thereunder.
On
March 2, 2010, the Court granted the Red Oak Groups Motion for
Leave. On March 17, 2010, the Red
Oak Group filed its Defendants Counterclaims and Third-Party Complaint (
Red Oak Complaint
). The Red Oak Complaint alleges, among other
things, that the Company has violated certain federal securities laws,
including Sections 13(d), 14(a), and 10(b) of the Exchange Act. The Company is currently considering its
options with respect to the Red Oak Complaint.
The Red Oak Complaint is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
The
information disclosed under this Item 7.01 is being furnished and shall not be
deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act and shall
not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in
such filing.
