YARC settles lawsuit
CAMARILLO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-August 7, 2000--YARC Systems Corporation
(OTC:YARC) announced today that it had reached settlement of a lawsuit filed in
March 1999 by Mr Joseph P. LaBruna.
Joe LaBruna had filed a Civil suit in the Superior Court of New Jersey against
YARC, its Chairman and CEO, Dr Trevor Marshall; and Does 1 through 20.
The dispute arose as a result of Mr LaBruna's employment as President of YARC
during 1998. In the suit, Mr LaBruna was seeking redress for the alleged
non-issuance of up to 2,000,000 options to buy YARC common stock, payroll in
excess of $200,000, and punitive damages.
YARC and LaBruna have settled this dispute. YARC will pay Mr LaBruna a cash
settlement of $50,000. YARC has not indemnified Mr LaBruna from future legal
actions that may be brought by shareholders or other third parties. The full
text of the settlement and lawsuit have been filed with the S.E.C. on Form 8K
as of today's date.
About YARC ( http://www.yarc.com/ )
YARC has developed proprietary LINUX software that integrates Printing
technologies with the Internet. YARC's servers can receive images over the
Internet and can be configured and upgraded from any standard Internet
browser. YARC's proprietary implementation of Adobe Systems' Postscript
Printer Description Language (PDL) is used to process computer images so they
can be transferred to a printing engine, across the Internet, without any
loss of detail or color quality. YARC's Internet technology enables a direct
link between the graphic artist and the printed output.This workflow ensures
optimal color quality and greater productivity than typical competitive
Internet workflows, where a broker is used to interface between the graphic
artist and the printing press operators.
