Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement |
As previously disclosed, on December 1, 2020, Pioneer Bank (the “Bank”), the wholly owned subsidiary of Pioneer Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York (the “Action”) against Teal, Becker & Chiaramonte, CPAs, P.C. (“TBC”), Mr. Pasquale M. Scisci and Mr. Vincent Commisso (collectively, with TBC, the “TBC Parties”), alleging professional malpractice by the TBC Parties in auditing the annual consolidated financial statements of Valuewise Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Valuewise Entities”) for the fiscal years 2010 to 2018.
The Bank asserted that the TBC Parties were aware that the primary, if not the exclusive, reason the Valuewise Entities engaged TBC to audit their financial statements was to provide the Bank with accurate financial information that the Bank would rely on in evaluating whether to provide loans to the Valuewise Entities. The Bank contends that, among other matters, Mr. Michael Mann used the Valuewise Entities to defraud the Bank. This was because the Bank relied on the unqualified “clean” opinions on the financial statements of the Valuewise Entities for fiscal years 2010 to 2018 issued by the TBC Parties in continuing to loan money to the Valuewise Entities. The TBC Parties filed their answer to the Bank’s complaint on February 12, 2021. On February 28, 2022, the TBC Parties filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. On October 4, 2022, the Court entered a decision and order denying the motion in its entirety.
On November 15, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), the Bank, on the one hand, and the TBC Parties, on the other hand, entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”), pursuant to which the parties agreed to resolve and settle all disputes and potential claims which exist or may exist among them, including without limitation those claims asserted in the Action, as more specifically set forth in, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the Settlement Agreement. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the TBC Parties have agreed to make a payment of $5,950,000 to the Bank within 30 days of the Effective Date. Upon receipt of the proceeds of such payment, the Bank has agreed to cause the Action to be dismissed with prejudice. The description of the Settlement Agreement contained herein does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Settlement Agreement, which the Company intends to file as an exhibit to its next Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
