Reith v. Lichtenstein, et al.
As previously reported, on August 13, 2021, Steel Connect, Inc. (the “Company”), together with certain of its current and former directors of the board of directors of the Company, including Messrs. Warren Lichtenstein, Glen Kassan, Jack Howard, Jeffery Fenton and Jeffery Wald, and Steel Partners Holdings, L.P. and certain of its affiliates (“Steel Holdings” and, together with the individuals named above, “Defendants”) entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) in connection with settlement of the Reith v. Lichtenstein, et al., C.A. No. 2018-0277-MTZ (Del. Ch. 2018) class and derivative action. Pursuant to the MOU, the Defendants agreed to pay to the Company $2.75 million in cash, funded by directors and officers liability insurance, which payment was completed in April 2022 (with the Company’s insurer paying $1.65 million and the insurer of Steel Holdings, another party to the litigation, paying $1.1 million). Additionally, pursuant to the MOU, as well as separate letter agreements between the Company and such individuals, Messrs. Lichtenstein and Howard agreed to surrender to the Company an aggregate 3.2 million shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), and a third defendant agreed to surrender 100,000 shares of Common Stock, which are all part of the December 2017 awards in consideration for services to the Company.
The settlement payments are currently in an account jointly controlled by counsel for plaintiff and the Company, where the funds are to remain until final court approval of the settlement. The settlement also provides that the Company shall pay the legal fees and costs of plaintiff’s counsel that might be awarded by the Court, subject to a cap of $2.05 million. A hearing was held on August 12, 2022 on the motion to approve the settlement and the plaintiff’s application for an award of attorney fees. One stockholder of the Company objected to the settlement and award of attorneys’ fees. At the conclusion of the August 12 hearing, the Court took the matter under advisement. Thereafter, the Court conferred with the parties’ counsel on August 18, 2022, raised questions about various matters with respect to the proposed settlement and award of attorneys’ fees, and directed the parties to make supplemental submissions, which the plaintiff, the Defendants and the objector subsequently filed.
On September 21, 2022, the parties submitted an amendment to the stipulation and agreement of compromise, settlement and release (the “Amendment”). The Court is scheduled to consider the Amendment at a hearing on September 23, 2022. Pursuant to the Amendment:
- The Defendants will pay the Company an additional $250,000, funded by directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.
- If the previously announced proposed merger between the Company and Steel Partners Holdings, L.P. (the “Merger”) is approved and consummated, and the settlement is approved by the Court, the aggregate settlement payment of $3.0 million will be distributed to the Company’s stockholders (other than Steel Holdings and the other Defendants) after the settlement payment is reduced by the aggregate amount of fees and expenses awarded to the plaintiff’s counsel, the plaintiff and the objector or objector’s counsel, and by the costs and expenses incurred by the Company to make the distribution (which costs and expenses shall not exceed $125,000).
- The distribution shall be made to each holder of eligible shares of Common Stock (as defined in the merger agreement governing the Merger), other than the Defendants; provided, however, that no distribution is required to be made to any holder whose proportionate share of the distribution would be less than $1.00.
- The distribution will be made no later than the latest of (a) the date of payment of the cash consideration in the Merger, (b) five business days after the Court has rendered a final unappealable decision on all applications of an award of fees and expenses or (c) five business days after the settlement payment has been released from escrow to the Company.
- Counsel for the plaintiff also agreed to reduce its request for attorneys’ fees to $1.4 million.
The stipulation of settlement and the Amendment are available on the Company’s website at https://ir.steelconnectinc.com/investor-information. Information on our website is not incorporated by reference in this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Independent Proxy Advisory Firms ISS and Glass Lewis Recommend Steel Connect Stockholders Vote “FOR” All Proposals Regarding Merger with Steel Partners (9/19/22)
Steel Connect Reminds Stockholders to Vote “FOR” All Merger-Related Proposals
Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on September 30, 2022
SMYRNA, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Steel Connect, Inc. (NASDAQ: STCN) (the “Company” or “Steel Connect”) announced today that leading independent proxy advisory firms Institutional Shareholder Services, Inc. (“ISS”) and Glass Lewis & Co. (“Glass Lewis”) recommended that the Company’s stockholders vote “FOR” all proposals to be considered and voted on at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) in connection with the previously announced merger with Steel Partners Holdings L.P. (NYSE: SPLP) (“Steel Partners”). The Annual Meeting is scheduled to be held on September 30, 2022 at 12:00 p.m. ET.
In their reports dated September 16, 2022, ISS and Glass Lewis noted1:
“Investors reacted positively to the initial proposal from SPLP on March 28, driving the STCN share price up by 11.2 percent, compared to a 3.3 percent increase in the S&P 600 Data Processors & Outsourcing Services Index on the same day.” (ISS)
“Although shareholders may have some concerns over process and value, the offer represents a 16.4 percent premium to the unaffected price, the cash consideration provides liquidity and certainty of value, the CVR provides some potential for additional value, and there appears to be downside risk of non-approval.” (ISS)2
“Notwithstanding concerns regarding the process and value, the board negotiated for a go-shop period and a commitment from the controlling shareholder to support a superior proposal if one was made; no actionable alternative proposals were delivered during the go-shop period.” (ISS)
“In our opinion, the disclosed process was fairly thorough for purposes of securing the best terms possible for unaffiliated shareholders, and the Company took reasonable steps to evaluate potential strategic alternatives prior to entering into the Merger Agreement. Moreover, taking into account the extensive outreach conducted by the financial advisors, we see no reason to doubt that the proposed merger likely represents the most favorable offer available to SC shareholders at this time.” (Glass Lewis)
“[T]he all-cash purchase price of $1.35 per share represents what we consider to be a favorable premium of 91.5% over the Company's unaffected trading price on November 19, 2020… we believe there is a strong procedural and financial case in favor of the proposed transaction.” (Glass Lewis)
Steel Connect’s stockholders are reminded that their vote is important, no matter how many or how few shares of stock they own. The Company’s Board of Directors recommends that the Company’s stockholders vote “FOR” each of the proposals at the Company’s September 30, 2022 Annual Meeting by completing and returning their proxy card, or by submitting their proxy by telephone or over the Internet.

Year end fin reporting 2019>>> seen growth
https://www.otcmarkets.com/filing/html?id=13687346&guid=jn96UecW9v6xqbh
vs 2018/2017 https://www.otcmarkets.com/filing/html?id=13091487&guid=jn96UecW9v6xqbh
Net revenue increased by approximately $174.6 million during the year ended July 31, 2019, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The change in net revenue was driven by the increase in revenue associated with the acquisition of IWCO in December 2017 and an increase in Supply Chain revenues associated with a client in the computing market, offset primarily by decreased revenues from a client in the consumer electronics industry, which did not have a significant negative affect on income from operations. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates had an insignificant impact on net revenues for the year ended July 31, 2019, as compared to the prior year. During the year ended July 31, 2019, net revenue in the Supply Chain segment decreased by approximately $(13.0) million, primarily due to a client loss in the consumer electronics industry. This decrease was offset partially by higher revenues from programs in the computing and consumer electronics markets. During the year ended July 31, 2019, net revenue in the Direct Marketing increased by approximately $187.5 million primarily because IWCO's revenue in fiscal year 2019 represents revenue for a full fiscal year while its revenue in fiscal year 2018 represents revenue from its acquisition date of December 15, 2017.
