issue the following statement.

FWL licensed the trademark LAMBRETTA based on a license agreement with SIL to LSL and SAL.

1. LSL was the sub-licensee of the trademark LAMBRETTA for the European market.

On 31 March 2010 LSL granted a further sub-license to MOTOM ELECTRONICS GROUP SPA (here after Motom ), in order to exploit the exclusive rights on the Trademark LAMBRETTA in Italy with a conditional possibility to extend the territory. This agreement was terminated on 15 November 2011 because MOTOM failed to pay the Minimum Royalty due and committed other contractual breaches.
