<br />18-028093; in the 17th Judicial Circuit Court, Broward County, FL; filed 12/05/2018; difference of

<br />Twelve related cases filed against Corradino and others, all relate to claims filed by
<br />representatives of six deceased and at least 11 injured people resulting from Florida International
<br />University’s (FIU) Pedestrian Bridge collapse (03/15/18), against numerous defendants (25)
<br />involved on the job which were consolidated for the purpose of global mediation into Case #2018-
<br />008144-CA-03, filed 03/19/18 in the 11th Judicial Circuit Court, Miami-Dade County, FL.
<br />Corradino’s role on the FIU pedestrian bridge project was very limited, to one person of hundreds
<br />on the job. Despite the lack of liability and strong defenses to the lawsuits, Corradino, on advice
<br />of counsel and with backing/financial support of its insurers, made a decision to participate in
<br />global settlement discussions between the Plaintiffs and Defendants, which resulted in a
<br />confidential settlement and dismissal of all claims on 01/24/20.

<br />installation of concrete pipes near a Pet Supermarket property in the area of an overhead
<br />powerline; Corradino challenged the claim because it was not the contractor on the job and
<br />performed NO installation or other construction work; no monetary amounts stated in complaint;
<br />Corradino filed Answer (03/19/ 18), affirmative defenses and Crossclaim; seeking statutory
<br />sovereign immunity; see also 2018 case below. Plaintiff voluntarily dismissed this action as to
