CONTINGENCIES

The Company is periodically involved in legal proceedings, legal actions and claims arising in the normal course of business, including proceedings relating to product liability, intellectual property, safety and health, employment and other matters. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes are not predictable. The Company does not believe, however, that at the current time there are matters that constitute material pending legal proceedings that will have a material adverse effect on the financial position, future results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.

On February 7, 2023, the SEC announced that it has accepted an Offer of Settlement submitted by the Company and its current Chief Financial Officer Kevin Nash. Under the settlement, without admitting or denying the SEC’s findings in this matter, the Company and Nash have consented to the entry of an administrative civil cease-and-desist order by the SEC (the “Order”) with respect to certain violations of the federal securities laws in the third quarter of 2015 through the second quarter of 2018 (the “Relevant Period”). The Company agreed to pay a civil monetary penalty of $4.0 million, which was fully accrued by the Company in the second and third quarters of 2022. Nash agreed to pay a civil monetary penalty of $75,000.

The Company had $4.0 million of restricted cash as of December 31, 2022 in escrow, pending the finalization of the settlement agreement with the SEC, which occurred on February 7, 2023.
