On August 3, 2010, LML Payment Systems Inc. (the “Corporation”) (Nasdaq: LMLP) was informed that the complaint for patent infringement brought against LML Payment Systems Corp. (an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation,) by CitiBank, N.A. in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division (the “Citibank Suit”) has been dismissed with prejudice. Citibank N.A. is an affiliate of one of the defendants in the patent infringement lawsuit filed by LML Patent Corp. (another subsidiary of the Corporation) on November 19, 2008 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against multiple financial institutions operating in the United States alleging that such defendants are infringing LML Patent Corp.’s U.S. Patent No. RE40,220 (the “LML Suit”). In the Citibank Suit, Citibank, N.A. alleged that the Corporation’s subsidiary infringed U.S. Patent No. 7,020,639 and was seeking damages and injunctive and other relief.
The dismissal of the Citibank Suit was reached without the Corporation or its subsidiaries incurring any liability to the other parties to the suit, and all parties will bear their own costs of litigation arising out of such suit. In addition, the dismissal of the Citibank Suit does not affect the Corporation’s ongoing prosecution of the LML Suit.
