On June 8, 1999 Rentrak filed its second amended
complaint in its suit against Hollywood Entertainment
Corporation. The amended complaint adds as individual defendants
Hollywood Senior Vice President Bruce Giesbrecht and former
Hollywood Senior Vice President Douglas Gordon. Rentrak also
added claims of conspiracy, intentional interference with
business relations, breach of fiduciary duty, negligent
misrepresentation, tortious breach of contract, fraud, breach of
implied duty of good faith and fair dealing, defamation,
disparagement, spoliation, negligent supervision, negligent
delegation, failure to pay all amounts due, unjust enrichment,
and conversion. Rentrak is now seeking damages of not less than
$220 million, plus attorney fees and costs. Trial is set for
January 10, 2000 in Portland, Oregon.
As previously reported, on April 28, 1999 Hollywood
filed an amended answer to Rentrak's complaint that included a
number of affirmative defenses and counterclaims against Rentrak.
Hollywood is seeking to recover attorney fees and costs and
damages in excess of $10 million, with the actual amount to be
proven at trial, injunctive relief and treble damages. Rentrak
has denied the allegations contained in Hollywood's amended
answer and counterclaims and intends to vigorously defend against
the counterclaims.
