Note 15 — Litigation, Commitments and Contingencies

 

Indemnification Obligations

 

In the normal course of business, we periodically enter into agreements that incorporate general indemnification language. Performance under these indemnities would generally be triggered by a breach of terms of the contract or by a supportable third-party claim. There have historically been no material losses related to such indemnifications. As of December 31, 2020, and 2019, estimated liability amounts associated with such indemnifications were not material.

 

Environmental Matters

 

Our Legacy Business operations and indemnification obligations resulting from our spinoff from 3M subject us liabilities arising from a wide range of federal, state and local environmental laws. For example, from time to time we have received correspondence from 3M notifying us that we may have a duty to defend and indemnify 3M with respect to certain environmental claims such as remediation costs. Environmental remediation costs are accrued when a probable liability has been determined and the amount of such liability has been reasonably estimated. These accruals are reviewed periodically as remediation and investigatory activities proceed and are adjusted accordingly. We did not have any environmental accruals as of December 31, 2020. Compliance with environmental regulations has not had a material adverse effect on our financial results.

 

Operating Leases

 

The Company does not have any long-term lease obligations as of December 31, 2020.
