12. LITIGATION

On October 15, 2018, Varex Imaging Corporation (“Varex”) filed its original Complaint (Case No. 1:18-cv-06911) against Richardson Electronics Ltd. (“Richardson”) in the Northern District of Illinois, which was subsequently amended on November 27, 2018. Varex alleged counts of infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,456,692 and 6,519,317. Subsequently, on October 24, 2018, Varex filed a motion for preliminary injunction to stop the sale of Richardson’s ALTA750 ^TM product. Richardson moved to dismiss this case and filed an opposition to the preliminary injunction. In January 2019, the Court took evidence on the preliminary injunction issue as well as heard oral arguments on the motion to dismiss. The parties are presently waiting for rulings from the Court. Richardson believes the lawsuit to be without merit and a loss is not probable or estimable based on the information at the time the financialstatements were issued.
