Commitments and Contingencies [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	Note 11 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company is a party to various vendor and license agreements and sponsored research arrangements in the normal course of business that create commitments and contractual obligations. As more fully discussed in Note 6, effective January 12, 2024, the Company entered into the KR8 Agreement. The Company’s Interim CEO and Interim CFO each are equity owners of KR8. Legal Proceedings The Company accrues for costs associated with certain contingencies, including, but not limited to, settlement of legal proceedings, regulatory compliance matters and self-insurance exposures when such costs are probable and reasonably estimable. In addition, the Company records legal fees in defense of asserted litigation and regulatory matters as such legal fees are incurred. To the extent it is probable that the Company is able to recover losses and legal fees related to contingencies, it records such recoveries concurrently with the accrual of the related loss or legal fees. Significant management judgment is required to estimate the amounts of such contingent liabilities. In the Company’s determination of the probability and ability to estimate contingent liabilities, it considers the following: litigation exposure based on currently available information, consultations with external legal counsel and other pertinent facts and circumstances regarding the contingency. Liabilities established to provide for contingencies are adjusted as further information develops, circumstances change, or contingencies are resolved; and such changes are recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations during the period of the change and appropriately reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. At both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $2,260 accrued for settlement of legal proceedings. Smithline Family Trust II vs. FOXO Technologies Inc. and Jon Sabes On November 18, 2022, Smithline Family Trust II (“Smithline”) filed a complaint against the Company and Jon Sabes, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and a former member of the Company’s board of directors, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, Index 0654430/2022. The complaint asserted claims for breach of contract, unjust enrichment and fraud, alleging that (i) the Company breached its obligations to Smithline pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated January 25, 2021, between Legacy FOXO and Smithline, the 2021 Bridge Debentures, due February 23, 2022, and Assumed Warrant to purchase shares of FOXO common stock until February 23, 2024 (collectively, including any amendment or other document entered into in connection therewith, the “Financing Documents”), (ii) the Company and Mr. Sabes were unjustly enriched as a result of their alleged actions and omissions in connection with the Financing Documents, and (iii) the Company and Mr. Sabes made materially false statements or omitted material information in connection with the Financing Documents. The complaint claims damages in excess of a minimum of $6,207 on each of the three causes of action, plus attorneys’ fees and costs. On December 23, 2022, the Company removed this action from the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Case 1:22-cv-10858-VEC. The action was assigned to Judge Valerie E. Caproni. On February 1, 2023, Defendant Jon Sabes moved to dismiss the Complaint as to Defendant Sabes pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(2) and 12(b)(6). On February 22, 2023, Smithline filed an Amended Complaint. The Company filed its Answer to the Amended Complaint on March 8, 2023. On March 15, 2023, Defendant Jon Sabes moved to dismiss the Amended Complaint as to Defendant Sabes pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1), (2) & (6). On April 17, 2023, Smithline filed its opposition to Defendant Sabes’ motion. On November 7, 2023, Smithline and the Company and its subsidiaries entered into the Settlement Agreement, pursuant to which the parties agreed to resolve and settle all disputes and potential claims which exist or may exist among them, including without limitation those claims asserted in the Action, as more specifically set forth in, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the Settlement Agreement. Upon the execution of the Settlement Agreement, the parties agreed to jointly dismiss the action without prejudice. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Smithline the “Cash Settlement Payment,” payable in full no later than the date that is the 12-month anniversary of the effective date of the Settlement Agreement (such date, the “Settlement Deadline” and, such period, the “Settlement Period”). During the Settlement Period, the Company agreed to pay Smithline out of any Equity Financing a minimum of 25% of the gross proceeds of each Equity Financing within two business days of the Company’s receipt of the proceeds from such Equity Financing, and which payment to Smithline would be applied toward the Cash Settlement Payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company has received proceeds from the Strata Purchase Agreement prior to the effective date of the Settlement Agreement, Smithline will be entitled to a minimum of 25% of the gross proceeds thereof, payment of which to Smithline would be applied toward the Cash Settlement Payment. In addition, the Company agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to pay $300 in cash to Smithline by December 31, 2023 toward the Cash Settlement Payment. In the event that the Company has not paid in full the Cash Settlement Payment prior to the Settlement Deadline, Smithline will be entitled to retain all proceeds received pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Mutual Release (as defined below) will be returned to their respective parties, and Smithline may pursue any claims against, among others, the Company. In addition, the parties agreed that prior to Smithline receiving $300 in cash from the Company toward the Cash Settlement Payment, the Company may not file any resale registration statements and any amendments or supplements thereto without Smithline’s written consent, except for those that cover the resale of shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock currently issued or issuable under the Strata Purchase Agreement dated October 13, 2023. In addition, the parties agreed that after Smithline has received $300 in cash from the Company, in the event the Company registers for resale shares of its Class A Common Stock, which are not issued or issuable as of the effective date of the Settlement Agreement, for a selling stockholder other than under the Strata Purchase Agreement, during the Settlement Period, then the Company will be required to issue Smithline Settlement Shares at the closing price of the Class A Common Stock immediately prior to their issuance, subject to the authorization of NYSE American if the Class A Common Stock is then traded on such exchange, which Settlement Shares will be included for resale in such registration statement, provided, however, that the amount of Settlement Shares, if any, when aggregated with other Settlement Shares, if any, will be reduced to ensure that such aggregate amount will not exceed 19.9% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock as of the date of issuance (subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, and other similar transactions that occur after the date of the Settlement Agreement). Any net proceeds (after taking into account all brokerage, transfer agent, legal and other expenses incurred in connection with the sale of the Settlement Shares, if any) received by Smithline on the sale of the Settlement Shares, if any, will be credited against the Cash Settlement Payment. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to use its best efforts to obtain an amendment to its Senior PIK Notes such that their maturity date and amortization dates are extended to December 31, 2024. Whether such amendment is obtained or not, the Company agreed to not make any payments in cash or stock on such Senior PIK Notes or permit such Senior PIK Notes to convert into stock prior to the satisfaction in full of the Cash Settlement Payment. Simultaneous with the execution of the Settlement Agreement, Smithline and Puritan Partners LLC and the Company entered into a mutual release (the “Mutual Release”), which will be held in escrow pending notification from counsel for Smithline that 90 calendar days have elapsed since Smithline has received the Cash Settlement Payment in full. The Mutual Release includes the release of, in addition to the Company, Jon Sabes, Bespoke Growth Partners, Inc. and Mark Peikin, subject to their satisfaction of the conditions of the Mutual Release, including delivery of an executed release to counsel for Smithline releasing the Claiming Parties (as defined in the Mutual Release). Pursuant to the Mutual Release, in the event that the Company files for bankruptcy and the Claiming Parties are not permitted to retain the Cash Settlement Payment or the net proceeds received on the sale of Settlement Shares, if any, the Mutual Release will be null and void and void ab initio. Further, in the event that Jon Sabes, Bespoke Growth Partners, Inc., or Mark Peikin commences a lawsuit or arbitration or otherwise asserts a claim or cause of action against any of the Responding Parties (as defined in the Mutual Release) or any of the Claiming Parties, or takes any action against or otherwise hinders in any manner the Company’s ability to repay the Claiming Parties the Cash Settlement Payment or deliver and register the Settlement Shares, if any, the release of such person or entity will be null and void and void ab initio. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, without the prior written consent of Smithline, the Company may not (x) pay KR8, including its affiliates, in cash more than the sum of (A) (i) $100 a month for the first three months after the effective date of the Settlement Agreement and (ii) more than $50 a month for months 4 to 12 after the effective date of the Settlement Agreement and (B) a royalty for 15% of product subscriber revenues received by the Company, or (y) make any payment in cash or stock to Jon Sabes until the Cash Settlement Payment is paid in full. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the parties agreed that Smithline may retain the Smithline Assumed Warrant issued to Smithline pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated February 24, 2022, as amended on April 26, 2022, July 6, 2022 and August 12, 2022, by and among the Company (DWIN Merger Sub Inc., DIAC Sponsor LLC, and Legacy FOXO; provided, however, that the Smithline Assumed Warrant will be automatically cancelled immediately upon Smithline’s receipt of the Cash Settlement Payment in full. Further, due to the fact that the Company did not pay the Cash Settlement Payment in full prior to the warrant’s expiration on February 23, 2024, the Smithline Assumed Warrant was automatically extended for a year until February 23, 2025, subject to cancellation upon Smithline’s receipt of the Cash Settlement Payment. From the effective date of the Settlement Agreement until the Settlement Deadline, Smithline may not exercise any of its rights under the Smithline Assumed Warrant so long as the Company continues to comply with the Settlement Agreement. In the event the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject to a Bankruptcy Event (as defined in the Debenture) then immediately prior to the occurrence of such Bankruptcy Event, the Smithline Assumed Warrant will be converted into an unsecured debt obligation of the Company and its subsidiaries in the amount of $3,500 less the cash proceeds paid by the Company to Smithline under the Settlement Agreement or the Net Proceeds received by Smithline on the sale of any Settlement Shares, if any, in satisfaction of the Cash Settlement Payment. On May 28, 2024, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with Smithline pursuant to which Smithline exchanged the Smithline Assumed Warrant to purchase up to 312,500 shares, as adjusted, for the right to receive shares of the Company’s Common Stock, subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation and issued without any restrictive legends. The Exchange Agreement is more fully discussed in Note 12. The Company is currently in default of the Settlement Agreement and is currently in negotiations with Smithline on a resolution. Former CEO Severance As of March 31, 2024, the Board has yet to complete its review into whether the former CEO was terminated with or without cause. Accordingly, the Company has yet to make a determination on its obligations under the former CEO’s employment agreement. The Company has accrued for his severance and has recognized expenses related to his equity-based compensation per the terms of his contract while the matter remains under review. Should the review conclude that the former CEO was terminated without cause then the former CEO will receive thirty-six months of severance based on his base salary, his options granted immediately vest, and his Management Contingent Share Plan related to performance-based conditions that have been met become fully vested. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $1,575 of severance and related expense was recorded within accrued severance on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The corresponding expense was recognized within selling, general and administrative expense during the year ended December 31, 2022. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized $8,695 of expense related to the Management Contingent Share Plan. Should the review conclude the former CEO was terminated with cause then no severance or continued benefits are due and the Company will account for the forfeiture of his Management Contingent Share Plan and reverse the accrual and corresponding expense related to his severance. Additionally, the Company cancelled the Management Contingent Share Plan related to performance-based conditions that have not been met. Disputed Severance Policy A severance policy was drafted in early 2023 with an effective date of January 9, 2023. The policy applied to all exempt level vice presidents and above employees across various departments. It provided for a six-month salary pay out if the employee, while in good standing, was involuntarily separated from the Company. However, neither the Company’s board of directors nor its remuneration committee approved the policy. If the policy were valid, five former employees would have met the guidelines to receive the severance aggregating approximately $462 in severance payments. Three former employees have sent letters, through their attorneys, requesting the payment of the severance. The Company has responded to the letters stating that the policy was not valid and that all of the Company’s obligations related to their separation from the Company have been paid and/or fully satisfied. The Company is also party to various other legal proceedings, claims, and regulatory, tax or government inquiries and investigations that arise in the ordinary course of business, and the Company may in the future be subject to additional legal proceedings and disputes.

On April 17, 2023, Smithline filed its opposition to Defendant Sabes’ motion.

On November 7, 2023, Smithline and the Company and its subsidiaries entered into the Settlement Agreement, pursuant to which the parties agreed to resolve and settle all disputes and potential claims which exist or may exist among them, including without limitation those claims asserted in the Action, as more specifically set forth in, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the Settlement Agreement. Upon the execution of the Settlement Agreement, the parties agreed to jointly dismiss the action without prejudice.

Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Smithline the “Cash Settlement Payment,” payable in full no later than the date that is the 12-month anniversary of the effective date of the Settlement Agreement (such date, the “Settlement Deadline” and, such period, the “Settlement Period”). During the Settlement Period, the Company agreed to pay Smithline out of any Equity Financing a minimum of 25% of the gross proceeds of each Equity Financing within two business days of the Company’s receipt of the proceeds from such Equity Financing, and which payment to Smithline would be applied toward the Cash Settlement Payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company has received proceeds from the Strata Purchase Agreement prior to the effective date of the Settlement Agreement, Smithline will be entitled to a minimum of 25% of the gross proceeds thereof, payment of which to Smithline would be applied toward the Cash Settlement Payment.

In addition, the Company agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to pay $300 in cash to Smithline by December 31, 2023 toward the Cash Settlement Payment. In the event that the Company has not paid in full the Cash Settlement Payment prior to the Settlement Deadline, Smithline will be entitled to retain all proceeds received pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Mutual Release (as defined below) will be returned to their respective parties, and Smithline may pursue any claims against, among others, the Company.

In addition, the parties agreed that prior to Smithline receiving $300 in cash from the Company toward the Cash Settlement Payment, the Company may not file any resale registration statements and any amendments or supplements thereto without Smithline’s written consent, except for those that cover the resale of shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock currently issued or issuable under the Strata Purchase Agreement dated October 13, 2023.

In addition, the parties agreed that after Smithline has received $300 in cash from the Company, in the event the Company registers for resale shares of its Class A Common Stock, which are not issued or issuable as of the effective date of the Settlement Agreement, for a selling stockholder other than under the Strata Purchase Agreement, during the Settlement Period, then the Company will be required to issue Smithline Settlement Shares at the closing price of the Class A Common Stock immediately prior to their issuance, subject to the authorization of NYSE American if the Class A Common Stock is then traded on such exchange, which Settlement Shares will be included for resale in such registration statement, provided, however, that the amount of Settlement Shares, if any, when aggregated with other Settlement Shares, if any, will be reduced to ensure that such aggregate amount will not exceed 19.9% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock as of the date of issuance (subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, and other similar transactions that occur after the date of the Settlement Agreement). Any net proceeds (after taking into account all brokerage, transfer agent, legal and other expenses incurred in connection with the sale of the Settlement Shares, if any) received by Smithline on the sale of the Settlement Shares, if any, will be credited against the Cash Settlement Payment.

Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to use its best efforts to obtain an amendment to its Senior PIK Notes such that their maturity date and amortization dates are extended to December 31, 2024. Whether such amendment is obtained or not, the Company agreed to not make any payments in cash or stock on such Senior PIK Notes or permit such Senior PIK Notes to convert into stock prior to the satisfaction in full of the Cash Settlement Payment.

Simultaneous with the execution of the Settlement Agreement, Smithline and Puritan Partners LLC and the Company entered into a mutual release (the “Mutual Release”), which will be held in escrow pending notification from counsel for Smithline that 90 calendar days have elapsed since Smithline has received the Cash Settlement Payment in full. The Mutual Release includes the release of, in addition to the Company, Jon Sabes, Bespoke Growth Partners, Inc. and Mark Peikin, subject to their satisfaction of the conditions of the Mutual Release, including delivery of an executed release to counsel for Smithline releasing the Claiming Parties (as defined in the Mutual Release). Pursuant to the Mutual Release, in the event that the Company files for bankruptcy and the Claiming Parties are not permitted to retain the Cash Settlement Payment or the net proceeds received on the sale of Settlement Shares, if any, the Mutual Release will be null and void and void ab initio. Further, in the event that Jon Sabes, Bespoke Growth Partners, Inc., or Mark Peikin commences a lawsuit or arbitration or otherwise asserts a claim or cause of action against any of the Responding Parties (as defined in the Mutual Release) or any of the Claiming Parties, or takes any action against or otherwise hinders in any manner the Company’s ability to repay the Claiming Parties the Cash Settlement Payment or deliver and register the Settlement Shares, if any, the release of such person or entity will be null and void and void ab initio.

Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, without the prior written consent of Smithline, the Company may not (x) pay KR8, including its affiliates, in cash more than the sum of (A) (i) $100 a month for the first three months after the effective date of the Settlement Agreement and (ii) more than $50 a month for months 4 to 12 after the effective date of the Settlement Agreement and (B) a royalty for 15% of product subscriber revenues received by the Company, or (y) make any payment in cash or stock to Jon Sabes until the Cash Settlement Payment is paid in full.

Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the parties agreed that Smithline may retain the Smithline Assumed Warrant issued to Smithline pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated February 24, 2022, as amended on April 26, 2022, July 6, 2022 and August 12, 2022, by and among the Company (DWIN Merger Sub Inc., DIAC Sponsor LLC, and Legacy FOXO; provided, however, that the Smithline Assumed Warrant will be automatically cancelled immediately upon Smithline’s receipt of the Cash Settlement Payment in full. Further, due to the fact that the Company did not pay the Cash Settlement Payment in full prior to the warrant’s expiration on February 23, 2024, the Smithline Assumed Warrant was automatically extended for a year until February 23, 2025, subject to cancellation upon Smithline’s receipt of the Cash Settlement Payment. From the effective date of the Settlement Agreement until the Settlement Deadline, Smithline may not exercise any of its rights under the Smithline Assumed Warrant so long as the Company continues to comply with the Settlement Agreement. In the event the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject to a Bankruptcy Event (as defined in the Debenture) then immediately prior to the occurrence of such Bankruptcy Event, the Smithline Assumed Warrant will be converted into an unsecured debt obligation of the Company and its subsidiaries in the amount of $3,500 less the cash proceeds paid by the Company to Smithline under the Settlement Agreement or the Net Proceeds received by Smithline on the sale of any Settlement Shares, if any, in satisfaction of the Cash Settlement Payment.

On May 28, 2024, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with Smithline pursuant to which Smithline exchanged the Smithline Assumed Warrant to purchase up to 312,500 shares, as adjusted, for the right to receive shares of the Company’s Common Stock, subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation and issued without any restrictive legends. The Exchange Agreement is more fully discussed in Note 12.

The Company is currently in default of the Settlement Agreement and is currently in negotiations with Smithline on a resolution.

Former CEO Severance

As of March 31, 2024, the Board has yet to complete its review into whether the former CEO was terminated with or without cause. Accordingly, the Company has yet to make a determination on its obligations under the former CEO’s employment agreement. The Company has accrued for his severance and has recognized expenses related to his equity-based compensation per the terms of his contract while the matter remains under review.

Should the review conclude that the former CEO was terminated without cause then the former CEO will receive thirty-six months of severance based on his base salary, his options granted immediately vest, and his Management Contingent Share Plan related to performance-based conditions that have been met become fully vested. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $1,575 of severance and related expense was recorded within accrued severance on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The corresponding expense was recognized within selling, general and administrative expense during the year ended December 31, 2022. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized $8,695 of expense related to the Management Contingent Share Plan.

Should the review conclude the former CEO was terminated with cause then no severance or continued benefits are due and the Company will account for the forfeiture of his Management Contingent Share Plan and reverse the accrual and corresponding expense related to his severance.

Additionally, the Company cancelled the Management Contingent Share Plan related to performance-based conditions that have not been met.

Disputed Severance Policy

A severance policy was drafted in early 2023 with an effective date of January 9, 2023. The policy applied to all exempt level vice presidents and above employees across various departments. It provided for a six-month salary pay out if the employee, while in good standing, was involuntarily separated from the Company. However, neither the Company’s board of directors nor its remuneration committee approved the policy. If the policy were valid, five former employees would have met the guidelines to receive the severance aggregating approximately $462 in severance payments.

Three former employees have sent letters, through their attorneys, requesting the payment of the severance. The Company has responded to the letters stating that the policy was not valid and that all of the Company’s obligations related to their separation from the Company have been paid and/or fully satisfied.

The Company is also party to various other legal proceedings, claims, and regulatory, tax or government inquiries and investigations that arise in the ordinary course of business, and the Company may in the future be subject to additional legal proceedings and disputes.
