Tesla gains as Musk buys $1 billion in stock; closes well-off highs
Skillz Inc. (NYSE:SKLZ) reported that on Friday it received notice from Tether Studios, LLC and Tether Games, Inc. regarding the termination of all agreements between the two companies, with the termination intended to take effect on Monday. Skillz stated in a press release that it believes the termination notice is invalid and constitutes a breach of Tether’s contractual obligations.
Under the agreements, Tether licensed Skillz’s software development kit to provide monetization services for Tether-developed games, with both companies sharing revenue generated from user entry fees. The agreements allow either party to terminate with written notice for convenience or for cause. Tether’s notice stated the termination was for convenience, but also asserted grounds for termination for cause effective September 28, 2025, if the convenience termination is not upheld by a competent tribunal.
Certain agreements restrict the removal of two Tether games, Solitaire Cube and 21 Blitz, from the Skillz platform for at least 18 months following termination. During this period, Skillz may, but is not required to, continue hosting paid competitions for these titles.
Following receipt of the notice, Skillz filed a lawsuit on Monday in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware seeking injunctive and declaratory relief related to Tether’s actions. The company is also disputing Tether’s stated grounds for termination for cause.
Skillz indicated it intends to defend its position in court, but stated it cannot provide assurances regarding the outcome of the claim or its potential impact on the business.
