Second Circuit Affirms Dismissal of Complaint Against Vystar In the Case Of EMA Financial LLC v. Vystar Corp.

Second Circuit Affirms Dismissal of Complaint Against Vystar In the Case Of EMA Financial LLC v. Vystar Corp.

Boston, MA, July 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Vystar ® Corporation (OTCQB: VYST)
On November 27, 2024, the New York federal district court in the case EMA Financial LLC v. Vystar Corp ., 19-cv-1545 (GWG) issued a first of its kind court victory for a micro-cap issuer, Vystar, denying EMA Financial's $4,226,187 claim for damages as it related to a toxic convertible note issue. While the district court did not grant Vystar's counterclaim for damages, in addition to dismissing EMA Financial's complaint the district court awarded Vystar legal fees.
Both parties appealed the decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. EMA Financial sought to have the appellate court reverse the district court's dismissal of the complaint. Vystar opposed the appeal and further cross-appealed seeking to have the appellate court reverse that portion of the decision denying Vystar's counterclaims for damages associated with EMA Financial's breach of the terms of the convertible note You can click on this link to see Vystar's appeal..
On July 17, 2025, the Second Circuit issued its decision, affirming the district court's decision. You can click on the link to read the brief. While Vystar was disappointed that the Second Circuit did not reverse that portion of the district court's decision denying Vystar's counterclaim, the result of this decision sends the case back to the district court for a determination of legal fees to be awarded to Vystar. Vystar has accrued on its books approximately one million dollars from 2018 to date.
Vystar wishes to take a moment to thank all of those involved in the work associated with this litigation. No issuer had previously succeeded in fighting back against EMA Financial's breach of contract claims on these convertible notes. Leading this charge for Vystar was its litigation counsel, Barry Bordetsky of The Law Offices of Barry M. Bordetsky. Barry's work was strategic and methodical, nothing short of a full-fledged fight for Vystar in this David versus Goliath battle. It's rare to find a litigator so dedicated and talented that is willing to work with a small company, going above and beyond what was required in the fight for Vystar. Without such counsel protecting Vystar, the company very well may have fallen into similar circumstances of the other the micro-cap issuers sued by EMA Financial – – having judgments issued against them.
