Item 8.01 Other Events.

As previously disclosed, on December 6, 2020, CounterPath Corporation, which we refer to herein as "CounterPath," the "Company," "we," "us," or "our," entered into an agreement and plan of merger, which, as it may be amended from time to time, we refer to as the "Merger Agreement," with Alianza, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which we refer to as "Alianza," and CounterPath Merger Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Alianza, which we refer to as "Merger Sub." Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into CounterPath, which we refer to as the "Merger," with CounterPath continuing as the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Alianza. On December 29, 2020, CounterPath filed a Preliminary Proxy Statement (the "Preliminary Proxy") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") in anticipation of a forthcoming special meeting of CounterPath's stockholders to determine whether the Merger should be approved. 

Litigation Related to the Merger

On January 7, 2021, a putative class action complaint was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, captioned Chakra Chamala v. CounterPath Corporation, et al., NYCSC Index No. 650111/2021, against CounterPath and its directors.  The complaint alleges that CounterPath's directors breached their fiduciary duties by purportedly failing to engage in a sufficiently robust sales process prior to the Merger, allegedly failing to obtain sufficient consideration for CounterPath's stockholders in connection with the Merger, and purportedly failing to make adequate disclosures in the Preliminary Proxy regarding the Merger.  The Company cannot predict the outcome of or estimate the possible loss or range of loss from this matter.  It is possible that additional, similar complaints may be filed, or that the complaint described above may be amended. If this occurs, the Company does not intend to announce the filing of each additional, similar complaint or any amended complaint unless it contains materially new or different allegations.

SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
