a declaratory judgment that the lending business conducted by CashNetUSA is illegal under Pennsylvania
law and a declaration that loan agreements with Pennsylvania residents are void and unenforceable, an
injunction barring continuing alleged violations (including enjoining collection on loans currently
outstanding from Pennsylvania residents) and an award of monetary damages (including treble damages),
penalties, costs and attorneys’ fees. CashNetUSA believes that the plaintiff’s claims in this suit are without
merit and plans to vigorously defend against all of the asserted allegations. CashNetUSA has filed a Motion
to Compel Arbitration seeking to compel individual arbitration of the plaintiff’s claims and is presently
awaiting plaintiff’s response to this motion.
The Company is a defendant in certain lawsuits encountered in the ordinary course of its business.
Certain of these matters are covered to an extent by insurance. In the opinion of management, the resolution
of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of
operations or liquidity.
