Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
          On June 18, 2008, clickNsettle.com, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Merger Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) with Cardo Medical, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Cardo Medical”), and Cardo Acquisition, LLC, a California limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”). The Agreement provides for the acquisition of Cardo Medical by the Company through a merger of Cardo Medical with Merger Sub, with Cardo Medical continuing as the surviving entity in the merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to the Agreement, all of the issued and outstanding units of Cardo Medical’s membership interests will be converted into the right to receive shares of the common stock of the Company.
          Simultaneously with the signing of the Agreement, Dr. Phillip Frost, chairman and chief executive officer of Opko Health, Inc., and other investors (the “Frost Investors”) invested $9.5 million in Cardo Medical in exchange for units of Cardo Medical’s membership interests. Certain other investors (the “Additional Investors,” and together with the Frost Investors, the “New Investors”) will invest up to an additional $4.0 million in Cardo Medical before the consummation of the merger. Proceeds from these investments are expected to be used to close on the acquisition of the outstanding equity interests of three partially owned subsidiaries of Cardo Medical (the “Acquisitions”), and to enable Cardo Medical to accelerate its research and product development. Following the Acquisitions, Cardo Medical will directly and indirectly own 100% of the equity interests of Accelerated Innovation, LLC, Cervical Xpand, LLC and Uni-Knee, LLC.
          Under the terms of the Agreement, at the closing of the merger, each Cardo Medical unit issued and outstanding shall be converted into and exchanged for the right to receive 655,337.128 shares of common stock of the Company, subject to adjustment. As a result of the merger, it is expected that the Company’s stockholders will own approximately 5.56% of the combined company on a fully diluted basis. Additionally, after the closing of the merger, the current members of Cardo Medical, i.e., the members of Cardo Medical prior to the admission of the New Investors, will own between 64.44% and 66.67% of the capital stock of the Company and the New Investors will own between 27.78% and 30.0% of the capital stock of the Company, in each case, depending on the total amount of the investment in Cardo Medical by the Additional Investors prior to the merger.
          The merger is subject to customary closing conditions, as well as a condition that Cardo Medical shall have closed on the Acquisitions and shall have received a minimum $3.0 million investment by the Additional Investors. Subject to these and other conditions, the Company expects the merger to close during the third quarter of 2008.
          Following completion of the merger, the Company will submit to its stockholders for approval an amendment to its certificate of incorporation to change its name to Cardo Medical, Inc. The Company intends to apply to have its shares listed on the American Stock Exchange (AMEX). In addition, following completion of the merger, the board of directors of Cardo Medical will consist of five directors to be appointed by Dr. Andrew Brooks and two directors to be appointed by Dr. Frost. Dr. Brooks, an orthopedic surgeon and the president and chief executive officer of Cardo Medical, will be the Chief Executive Officer of the combined company. The Company will be headquartered in Los Angeles.
          The summary discussion of material terms of the Agreement set forth above is qualified by reference to the Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
          On June 19, 2008, the Company issued a press release announcing the execution of the Agreement and the related transactions described herein, which press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
