Item 8.01. Other Events.
On July 18, 2014, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, upon a joint motion of the parties, dismissed without prejudice the purported shareholder derivative action filed on December 2, 2011, by Carl Zorn against the directors of Stereotaxis, Inc. (the “Company”) and the Company as a nominal defendant. Previously, on March 18, 2014, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri granted the Company’s motion to dismiss the purported securities class action filed on October 7, 2011, against the Company and two of the Company’s past executive officers by Kevin Pound, and the Court entered judgment in favor of the defendants and against the plaintiff in that case. The plaintiffs did not file a notice of appeal prior to the deadline of April 17, 2014. With the dismissal of these lawsuits, the Company is no longer a party to any shareholder litigation.
More information about these lawsuits is set forth in the disclosures in the Company’s periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
