[24]7 Litigation

The Company filed an intellectual property suit (the “Company IP Suit”) against [24]7 Customer, Inc. (“[24]7”) on March 6, 2014. On June 22, 2015, and December 7, 2015, [24]7 filed separate countersuits (together, the “Countersuits”) against the Company. The trial with respect to the Company IP Suit occurred on May 24, 2021 and a trial verdict was issued in favor of the Company. In August 2022, 24[7] appealed the verdict. In addition, a trial to adjudicate [24]7’s Countersuits against the Company began in 2023, and a trial with respect to a second set of intellectual property claims brought by the Company against [24]7 had been set for trial in early 2024. During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, all litigation matters between the parties were dismissed with prejudice pursuant to a binding settlement previously entered by the parties.

COVID-Related Matters

As has been widely reported, there is heightened scrutiny by the federal government across many programs related to COVID-19 that were introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary WildHealth were each previously engaged in the delivery of products and services related to COVID-19 testing and have been subsequently subject to governmental inquiries with respect to those COVID-19 related products and services, including inquiries by Medicare, the Department of Justice and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“governmental agencies”). As previously disclosed, in November 2022, a professional corporation managed by WildHealth received notice that Medicare reimbursements for its services rendered under a Medicare demonstration program related to COVID-19 testing (the “Program”) were suspended pending further review. Subsequently, WildHealth received and successfully responded to inquiries from additional governmental agencies with respect to its participation in the Program. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has provided notice that the Medicare payment suspension will be terminated. The reimbursements for services rendered under the Program are expected to be released in November 2023.

The Company also previously provided other products and services related to COVID-19 testing and accompanying software. Those COVID-19 related products and services have also been the subject of inquiry and pending review by governmental agencies. The Company and WildHealth have discontinued all products and services related to COVID-19, and have responded to and intend to continue to cooperate with governmental inquiries related to their previous engagement in COVID-19 related product and service offerings.

Other Legal, Administrative, Governmental and Regulatory Matters

From time to time, the Company is or may be subject to or involved in legal, administrative, governmental and/or regulatory proceedings, inquiries and investigations as well as actual or threatened litigation, claims and/or demands (each an “Action” and collectively “Actions”). These have included and may include (without limitation) Actions brought by or against the Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries, directors and/or officers with respect to intellectual property, contracts, financial, commercial, employment, legal, compliance, privacy, data security, regulatory and/or other matters related to our business, as well as Actions brought against the Company’s customers for which the Company has a contractual indemnification obligation.

Regardless of the outcome, Actions can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense and/or settlement costs, diversion of management resources, reputational risks and other factors.

Contingencies

The Company accrues for a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required in both the determination of probability and the determination as to whether a loss is reasonably estimable. In addition, in the event the Company determines that a loss is not probable, but is reasonably possible, and it becomes possible to develop what the Company believes to be a reasonable range of possible loss, then the Company will include disclosure related to such matter as appropriate and in compliance with ASC 450. The accruals or estimates, if any, resulting from the foregoing analysis, are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter. To the extent there is a reasonable possibility that the losses could exceed the amounts already accrued, the Company will, as
applicable, adjust the accrual in the period the determination is made, disclose an estimate of the additional loss or range of loss, indicate that the estimate is immaterial with respect to its financial statements as a whole or, if the amount of such adjustment cannot be reasonably estimated, disclose that an estimate cannot be made.
