Item 8.01 Other Events

On July 28th, the Seoul Central District Court (62nd Civil Division) issued a ruling against Franklin Technology Inc. (“FTI”), a South Korea-based subsidiary of Franklin Wireless Corp. (the “Company”), in a legal proceeding brought by Partron Co., Ltd. (“Partron”).

The court ordered FTI to pay damages to Partron in the amount of approximately $3,673,336 USD, plus accrued interest at a rate of 5% per annum from November 4, 2022 through July 16, 2026, and ongoing post-judgment interest at a rate of 12% per annum from July 17, 2026 until full payment is made. The dispute relates to a commercial contract for the development and production of devices.

The Company, through FTI, is currently reviewing the court’s written decision with its legal counsel to evaluate all available legal options, including filing an appeal to a higher court. The Company intends to vigorously defend its position.
