Item 8.01Other Events.
As previously disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2021, on July 29, 2021, NextGen Healthcare, Inc. (the “Company”) received a verdict in favor of the Company and the individual defendants on all counts following trial for resolution of claims made against the Company by Ahmed D. Hussein (“Hussein”), a former director and significant shareholder of our Company, with no financial liability for the Company. As also previously disclosed, Hussein issued an arbitration demand seeking indemnification for the fees he incurred defending against our cross-complaint. Following briefing and a hearing at the liability phase of the arbitration, the arbitrator held that Hussein was entitled to indemnification for “expenses” (as that term is defined in Hussein’s indemnification agreement with the Company) incurred in defense of the Company’s cross-complaint against him. The arbitrator reserved all other claims related to costs and damages for a second phase of the arbitration. On June 10, 2021, the arbitrator heard argument on the quantum of indemnifiable expenses. On September 2, 2021, the arbitrator awarded Hussein indemnification for fees and costs incurred defending the cross-complaint. After trebling the fees incurred pursuant to Hussein’s supplemental agreement with his attorneys, and adding in interest and costs, the arbitrator calculated that the Company owes Mr. Hussein $11,369,923.42 in indemnification, of which a portion was previously reserved by the Company. The amount is not material to the Company’s business.
