Max Sound Accruing Damages as VSL's CEO Continues to Disobey Court's Order

SANTA MONICA, CA--(Marketwired - February 01, 2016) -  Max Sound Corporation (OTCQB: MAXD) provides a brief litigation update to its Shareholders.

On January 28, 2016, MAXD, by its counsel, appeared ex parte in San Diego Superior Court, requesting that the Court expedite the March 24, 2016 Order to Show Cause (OSC) hearing to determine whether VSL should be found to be in contempt of Court.

This latest Court appearance was due to VSL's continued violations of the Emergency Arbitration Award, and the Superior Court's Order confirming the Award. At the hearing, the Court asked MAXD to demonstrate what additional damages it has incurred by virtue of VSL's ongoing, allegedly violative, conduct. MAXD, through its counsel, and retained economic experts, are in the process of preparing that information for the Court.

"After last week's hearing, I believe that the Court once again witnessed VSL's chronic disrespect for the Arbitral and Judicial processes, particularly the Superior Court's Authority," says John Blaisure, MAXD's CEO. "We look forward to providing the requested evidence to the Court substantiating the additional damages VSL has caused to our Shareholders and stock as a result of its ongoing and chronic wrongful conduct." 

In the interest of providing greater clarity to our valued Shareholders about this litigation, the following is a roadmap and timeline documenting VSL's wrongful conduct since VSL's secret attempt to dissolve VSL Communications Ltd UK, and the AAA's August 25, 2015 entry of the Award against VSL.

January 21, 2016 - The Superior Court determines that MAXD had presented evidence sufficient to warrant the issuance of an Order to Show Cause (OSC), and scheduled a contempt hearing to occur on March 24, 2016 at 9:00 a.m.

March 24, 2016 - Unless expedited by the Court as discussed above, the Contempt Hearing will proceed on this date.

MAXD has been aggressively seeking, and will continue to aggressively seek, to obtain the rights and benefits accorded to it under its contract with VSL. We are confident that once the truth emerges, justice will prevail.
