Item 8.01 Other Events
On January 18, 2006, OMNI Energy Services Corp. (“OMNI”) issued a press release announcing that Advantage Capital, et. al. (collectively “ACP”) has filed with the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana (the “Federal Court”) a notice to dismiss their lawsuit against OMNI and certain of OMNI’s key executive officers. ACP had previously filed suit against OMNI and these key executive officers alleging they fraudulently deprived ACP of their right to convert shares of OMNI’s Series A and Series B 8% Convertible Preferred Stock. On December 19, 2005, the Federal Court granted OMNI’s Motion to Dismiss the ACP lawsuit but permitted ACP a period of 20 business days to re-plead its case in the Federal Court.
A copy of the press release announcing the dismissal of the federal lawsuit is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
