ITEM 9. OTHER EVENTS

Triton Network Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) has settled a lawsuit with a shareholder, Frank Musolino, resulting in a cash payment to the shareholder of $3.65 million. The lawsuit claimed the Company interfered with the shareholder’s alienability of Company common stock following the Company’s initial public offering in July 2000. The shareholder filed the action seeking damages in the Circuit Court of the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit of the State of Florida, Hillsborough County Civil Division in December 2000. Following the court's decision to grant summary judgment in favor of the shareholder with respect to certain of his claims, and after commencing a jury trial, the Company agreed to the settlement. The case was dismissed with prejudice. The Company is actively seeking reimbursement for the settlement payment from third parties, including the Company’s insurance carrier. Although there can be no assurance, it is the Company's belief that it should be able to recover a portion of these settlement costs from these third parties.
