Item 8.01 Other Events
Notice of Dismissal of SilverSun Technologies, Inc. Litigation
and Agreement Upon Attorneys’ Fees
On September 29, 2023, SilverSun Technologies,
Inc. (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Rhodium Enterprises Acquisition Corp., a Delaware
corporation and direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub I”), Rhodium Enterprises Acquisition LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company and direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub II”), and Rhodium Enterprises, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation (“Rhodium”). On October 19, 2022, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the
“Registration Statement”) with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection
with the business combination contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Merger”). On February 21, 2023, plaintiff Christopher
Scott, a stockholder of the Company (“Plaintiff”), filed a putative class action lawsuit in the Delaware Court of Chancery
(the “Court”) captioned Scott v. SilverSun Technologies, Inc., et al., Case No. 2023-0219-MTZ (the “Action”)
and named as Defendants the Company and each director then serving on the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”).
The complaint alleged, among other things, that the Board violated its fiduciary duties under Delaware law by failing to disclose purportedly
material information regarding the proposed Merger. As relief, the complaint in the Action sought, among other things, an injunction
against the Merger, damages and an award of attorneys’ and experts’ fees.
Also on March 17, 2023, Plaintiff filed a motion
for expedited proceedings and a motion for a preliminary injunction.
Defendants have denied that they committed any
violation of law or engaged in any of the wrongful acts that were or could have been alleged in the Action, and expressly maintain that
they diligently and scrupulously complied with their fiduciary and other legal duties.
After the complaint was filed and without
admitting that the allegations in the complaint had any merit, the Company determined to amend the Registration Statement on April
4, 2023 and April 28, 2023, by adding disclosures regarding, among other things, unlevered free cash flow projections for Rhodium
prepared in connection with the Merger (the “Supplemental Disclosures”).
Following the issuance of the Supplemental Disclosures,
on October 16, 2023, the Company announced that it had terminated the Merger Agreement, as amended, on October 13, 2023, rendering Plaintiff’s
claims moot. Following that announcement, the parties to the Action engaged in discussions to resolve Plaintiff’s counsel’s
anticipated application for an award of attorney’s fees and expenses in connection with the now moot dispute regarding the issuance
of the Supplemental Disclosures.
Following those negotiations, the Company, while
denying any and all liability, and maintaining that the Registration Statement already contained all material information required for
stockholders to cast an informed vote regarding the Merger prior to the Supplemental Disclosures, decided it was in its and the stockholders’
best interests to resolve the Plaintiff’s counsel’s anticipated application for an award of attorneys’ fees and reimbursement
of expenses in connection with the Action (the “Fee and Expense Application”) and avoid further uncertain and costly litigation
of the issue by agreeing to pay $99,000 to Plaintiff’s counsel for attorneys’ fees and expenses in full satisfaction of the
anticipated Fee and Expense Application. The Court has not been asked to review, and will pass no judgment on, the payment of attorneys’
fees and expenses or their reasonableness.
Counsel for the Plaintiff is Richard A. Acocelli,
and he may be contacted at 631-204-6187. Counsel for Defendants is Jonathan C. Uretsky, and he may be contacted at 212-571-1255.
The information in this Item 8.01 of Form
8-K shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise
subject to the liabilities under that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto
