Claims Made Against Bentley Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

In November 1999, Creative Technologies, Inc. (“Creative”) commenced a lawsuit against the Bentley Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and others in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Essex County, asserting that the Bentley breached a brokerage or finder’s fee contract with Creative regarding its 1999 acquisition of permeation enhancement technology. Creative also asserts claims for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and for tortious interference with contract. Bentley has made a motion to dismiss the complaint and each count therein for failure to state a cause of action and for lack of personal jurisdiction over Bentley.
