One of LIBE's lenders, LG Capital Funding LLC, by email, accepted LIBE's offer to settle their outstanding convertible promissory note for $85,000. LIBE promptly delivered a check to LG Capital Funding for $85,000, which in the LIBE's view formed a binding contract with LIBE to settle the debt. Without returning the check, LG Capital Funding took action in conflict with the settlement agreement, by attempting to convert part the promissory note into 39,197 shares of restricted LIBE common stock. LIBE's position is that the settlement was binding and that the attempt to convert the note is a breach of contract. LIBE will seek an injunction to prevent the issuance of shares in respect of the note conversion and enforce the settlement agreement.
