New York, NY, June 06, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SCWorx Corp (Nasdaq: WORX) today announced that the Company has received final court approval for a settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), to resolve the SEC matter arising out of the Company’s April 13, 2020 press release and the events thereafter (first disclosed in the Company’s March 31, 2020 10-Q).

Without admitting or denying the allegations, SCWorx has agreed to a settlement, which has received final court approval, that includes permanent injunctions, the payment of a $125,000 penalty, and disgorgement of $471,000 with prejudgment interest of $32,761.56.
