Commitments and Contingencies
7. Commitments and Contingencies
 
The nature of The Company’s business results in a certain amount of claims, litigation, investigations, and other legal and administrative cases and proceedings, all of which are considered incidental to the normal conduct of business. When the Company determines it has meritorious defenses to the claims asserted, it vigorously defends itself. The Company will consider settlement of cases when, in Management’s judgment, it is in the best interests of both the Company and its shareholders to do so.
 
The Company periodically assesses its liabilities and contingencies in connection with outstanding legal proceedings utilizing the latest information available. The Company would accrue a loss on legal contingencies in the event the loss is deemed probable and reasonably estimable. The accrual is adjusted as appropriate to reflect any relevant developments regarding the legal contingency. In the event of a legal contingency where a loss is not probable or the amount of the loss cannot be estimated, no accrual is established.
 
In certain cases, exposure to loss may exist in excess of the accrual to the extent such loss is reasonably possible, but not probable. Management believes an estimate of the aggregate of reasonably possible losses, in excess of amounts accrued, for current legal proceedings not covered by insurance is not greater than $0.4 million at January 31, 2014 and may be substantially lower than this amount. Any estimate involves significant judgment, given the varying stages of the proceedings (including cases in preliminary stages), as well as numerous unresolved issues that may impact the outcome of a proceeding. Accordingly, Management’s estimate will change from time-to-time, and actual losses may be more or less than the current estimate. The current loss estimate excludes legal and professional fees associated with defending such proceedings. These fees are expensed as incurred and may be material to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements in a particular period.
 
While the final outcome of legal proceedings is inherently uncertain, based on information currently available, advice of counsel, and available insurance coverage, Management believes that there is no accrual for legal contingencies required at this time. However, in the event of unexpected future developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters, if unfavorable, may be greater than the current range of estimates discussed above and may be material to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements in a particular period.
 
In accordance with the provisions of the Restated Credit Agreement, the Company issued $0.001 per share warrants issued for up to 30% (on a post-exercise basis) of the outstanding common stock of the Company in the form of non-voting Class B common stock and associated Investor Rights Agreement for the benefit of the Previous Secured Lenders under the Restated Credit Agreement. The warrants expire after October 19, 2017.
                            
The Warrants entitle the Holders thereof to purchase that number of shares of Company Class B Common Stock equal to thirty percent (30%) of the then issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company, on a fully diluted, post-exercise basis. Based on the 11,299,528 shares of Company Common Stock currently issued and outstanding, exercise in full of the Warrants would result in the Company’s issuance of an additional 4,842,654 shares to the Warrant Holders. In the event a greater number of issued and outstanding common shares exist at the time of option exercise, a greater number of options of shares of Class B Common Stock would be issuable. The Previous Secured Lenders assigned the warrants to Marshall T. Reynolds in consideration for his personal guaranty and stock pledge and security agreement to assist in facilitating the consummation of the October 2013 Credit Agreement. The Previous Secured Lenders, as Warrant Holders were subject to the ownership limitations of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended and regulations promulgated thereunder (the "Bank Holding Company Act") which placed limitations on their ability to control other companies. The Previous Secured Lenders/Warrant Holders requested, and the Company agreed to create a non-voting class of Common Stock, to be designated as "Class B Common Stock". The Warrants constitute the right to purchase Class B Common Stock. The warrants are exercisable solely for shares of Class B Common Stock. However, because any Class B Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Warrants may be sold by the Warrant Holders to entities not subject to the Bank Holding Company Act, or because one or more Warrant Holders may be permitted to own a limited number of voting shares of Company Class A Common Stock, the articles of amendment provide that those shares of Class B Common Stock are convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock, and vice versa, without charge. Marshall T. Reynolds, as the current Warrant Holder is entitled to convert Class B Common Shares into shares of Class A Common Stock.
