Commitments and Contingencies COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Commitments
Our long-term contractual obligations include commitments and estimated purchase obligations entered into in the normal course of business. These include commitments related to our facility and vehicle leases, purchases of inventory, debt obligations, and other purchase obligations.
Operating Lease Obligations
As of March 31, 2020, we had operating lease liabilities of $23.5 million and related right-of-use assets of $22.8 million related to operating leases for real estate, including our corporate headquarters, vehicles and office equipment. As of March 31, 2020, our leases have remaining terms of one to eight years. The weighted average remaining lease term and discount rate for our operating leases was 7.7 years and 5.1% at March 31, 2020, respectively.
Lease costs for our operating leases were $1.3 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Operating cash outflows for operating leases were $1.2 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Future minimum payments under our non-cancelable operating leases as of March 31, 2020 are as follows (in thousands):

Contingent Regulatory and Commercial Milestone Payments
We are required to make payments contingent on the achievement of certain regulatory and/or commercial milestones under the terms of our collaboration, license and other strategic agreements. Please refer to Note P, “Acquisitions, Collaboration, License and Other Strategic Agreements” for additional details regarding these contingent payments.

Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
We accrue a liability for legal contingencies when we believe that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and that we can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss. We review these accruals and adjust them to reflect ongoing negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other relevant information. To the extent new information is obtained and our views on the probable outcomes of claims, suits, assessments, investigations or legal proceedings change,
changes in our accrued liabilities would be recorded in the period in which such determination is made. For certain matters referenced below, the liability is not probable or the amount cannot be reasonably estimated and, therefore, accruals have not been made. In addition, in accordance with the relevant authoritative guidance, for any matters in which the likelihood of material loss is at least reasonably possible, we will provide disclosure of the possible loss or range of loss. If a reasonable estimate cannot be made, however, we will provide disclosure to that effect. We expense legal costs as they are incurred.
On November 6, 2019, we were served with a summons in a case filed in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of Ohio, captioned Civil Case in Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe v. Purdue Pharma et al (Case No. 1-19-op-45841). The complaint names K-V Pharmaceutical Company (“KV”) (Lumara Health’s predecessor company), certain of its successor entities, subsidiaries and affiliate entities as defendants, along with over forty other pharmaceutical companies. We acquired Lumara Health in November 2014, a year after KV emerged from bankruptcy protection, at which time it and its then-existing subsidiaries became our wholly-owned subsidiaries. The plaintiff in this action alleges that KV’s subsidiary, Ethex Corporation (as well as the other pharmaceutical companies named in the complaint), manufactured, promoted, sold, and distributed opioids, including a generic version of morphine. Defendants KV and Ethex Corporation were dismissed without prejudice from this Chippewa case pursuant to an order dated March 26, 2020. KV and Ethex were also named but not served in several other similar cases and were dismissed without prejudice from these other cases by orders dated March 26, 2020.

On November 1, 2019, we were named as a defendant in a class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri, captioned Barnes v. AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Case No. 3:19-cv-05088-RK (W.D. Mo.). Subsequently, other plaintiffs represented by the same law firm filed similar class action lawsuits in other jurisdictions, and the lawsuits have been consolidated in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, Zamfirova et al. v. AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Case No. 20-00152-JMV-SCM (April 2, 2020). The plaintiffs in this action, on behalf of themselves and purported state-wide classes of similarly situated consumers in California, Kansas, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, and Wisconsin, assert claims for violation of state consumer protection laws and unjust enrichment based on allegations that we and/or our predecessor companies made misrepresentations and omissions regarding the effectiveness of Makena in connection with the sale and marketing of that product from 2011 through the present. Because this case is at the earliest stage, we are currently unable to predict the outcome or reasonably estimate the range of potential loss associated with this matter, if any.

On August 29, 2019, Lunar Representative, LLC (“Plaintiff”), on behalf of the former equity holders of Lumara Health Inc. (“Lumara”), filed a complaint against us in the Delaware Court of Chancery, captioned Lunar Representative, LLC v. AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (No. 2019-0688-JTL). On September 25, 2019, we filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. On January 9, 2020, Plaintiff filed an amended complaint. Plaintiff alleges that we did not exercise commercially reasonable efforts to market and sell the drug product Makena, and failed to achieve sales milestones for Makena, in breach of certain provisions of the September 28, 2014 Agreement and Plan of Merger between, among other parties, us and Lumara. Plaintiff filed an amended complaint on January 9, 2020. On January 24, 2020, we filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint and filed our opening brief in support of such motion to dismiss the amended complaint on April 14, 2020. Plaintiff is seeking damages of $50.0 million, together with pre- and post-judgment interest, as well as attorneys’ fees and costs. At this time, based on available information, we are unable to reasonably assess the ultimate outcome of this case or determine an estimate, or a range of estimates, of potential losses. We believe this lawsuit is without merit and intend to vigorously defend against the allegations.

On or about April 6, 2016, we received Notice of a Lawsuit and Request to Waive Service of a Summons in a case entitled Plumbers’ Local Union No. 690 Health Plan v. Actavis Group et. al. (“Plumbers’ Union”), which was filed in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, First Judicial District of Pennsylvania and, after removal to federal court, is now pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (Civ. Action No. 16-65-AB). Thereafter, we were also made aware of a related complaint entitled Delaware Valley Health Care Coalition v. Actavis Group et. al. (“Delaware Valley”), which was filed with the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, First Judicial District of Pennsylvania District Court of Pennsylvania (Case ID: 160200806). The complaints name K-V Pharmaceutical Company (“KV”) (Lumara Health’s predecessor company), certain of its successor entities, subsidiaries and affiliate entities (the “Subsidiaries”), along with a number of other pharmaceutical companies. We acquired Lumara Health in November 2014, a year after KV emerged from bankruptcy protection, at which time it, along with its then existing subsidiaries, became our wholly-owned subsidiary. We have not been served with process or waived service of summons in either case. The actions are being brought alleging unfair and deceptive trade practices with regard to certain pricing practices that allegedly resulted in certain payers overpaying for certain of KV’s generic products. On July 21, 2016, the Plaintiff in the Plumbers’ Union case dismissed KV with prejudice to refiling and on October 6, 2016, all claims against the Subsidiaries were dismissed without prejudice. We are in discussions with Plaintiff’s counsel to similarly dismiss all claims in the Delaware Valley case. Because we have not been served with process in the Delaware Valley case, we are currently unable to predict the outcome or reasonably estimate the range of potential loss associated with this matter, if any.

On July 20, 2015, the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) notified us that it is conducting an investigation into whether Lumara Health or its predecessor engaged in unfair methods of competition with respect to Makena or any
hydroxyprogesterone caproate product. As previously disclosed, we provided the FTC with a response in August 2015. We believe we have fully cooperated with the FTC and we have had no further interactions with the FTC on this matter since we provided our response to the FTC in August 2015. For further information on this matter, see Note P, “Commitments and Contingencies” to our Annual Report.
We may periodically become subject to other legal proceedings and claims arising in connection with ongoing business activities, including claims or disputes related to patents that have been issued or that are pending in the field of research on which we are focused. Other than the above actions, we are not aware of any material claims against us as of March 31, 2020.
