Item 8.01 Other Events .

Louis D. Paolino, Jr., the former Chairman and CEO of Mace Security International, Inc.(“Mace” or the “Company”) filed an action in Delaware Superior Court, New Castle County, against three members of the Board of Directors of the Company, John C. Mallon, Dennis Raefield and Gerald LaFlamme. The action alleges that the three defendants engaged in fraudulent and conspiratorial conduct in wrongfully terminating Mr. Paolino in 2008, and seeks damages of $3,815,000 allegedly due under Mr. Paolino’s employment agreement.  On July 1, 2010, counsel for the three directors agreed to accept service of the complaint, which was filed on June 16, 2010.  The three individual directors intend to vigorously defend this action.

As previously reported on Forms 8-K filed on June 7, 2010 and June 9, 2010, respectively, the Company filed a motion in the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Pennsylvania on June 3, 2010 to vacate an arbitration award entered against the Company, which awarded Mr. Paolino $4,148,912 plus attorneys’ fees and reinstated 1,769,682 stock options held by Mr. Paolino through July 15, 2010, and Mr. Paolino filed a motion in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia Country, Pennsylvania to confirm the arbitration award.
