Other Events

 
On June 7, 2010, Mace Security International, Inc. (“Mace” or the “Company”) received a copy of a motion filed by Mr. Louis D. Paolino, Jr. (“Paolino”) with the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania to Confirm an Arbitration Award entered against the Company and for the Entry of a Judgment in Favor of Paolino and Against the Company (“Motion to Confirm”). The arbitration award (“Arbitration Award”) had awarded Paolino, the former Chairman and CEO of the Company, $4,148,912 plus attorney fees and reinstated 1,769,682 stock options held by Paolino through July 15, 2010. The Company received the Arbitration Award on May 4, 2010.
 
As previously reported in the Company’s Form 8-K dated June 3, 2010, the Company filed a motion in the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Pennsylvania, to vacate the Arbitration Award (“Motion to Vacate”). As previously disclosed, motions to vacate arbitration awards are difficult to achieve, but the Company does intend to prosecute the Motion to Vacate and oppose the Motion to Confirm vigorously. The Company cannot predict the success of the Motion to Vacate or the Motion to Confirm.
