COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Lease Commitments

In October 2018, we signed a thirteen-year lease agreement with minimum lease obligations of $14.8 million with Colfin Midwest NNN Investor, LLC for 59,497 square feet of office space. This is now our new headquarters location in Hopkins, Minnesota, which is approximately three miles from our previous headquarters.

Contingencies

In November 2018, DimOnOff Inc., a company headquartered in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada which sells control systems in the building automation and street lighting markets sued us and a former distributor from whom DimOnOff purchased certain of our products.  The suit was brought in the Superior Court of the Province of Quebec in the District of Quebec (Canada) and alleges certain Digi products it purchased and incorporated into street lighting systems in a Canadian city were defective causing some of the street lights to malfunction.  It alleges damages in of just over C$1.0 million.  We intend to defend ourselves against DimOnOff’s claims.  At this time we cannot assess the likelihood or amount of any potential loss.

In addition to the matter discussed above, in the normal course of business, we are subject to various claims and litigation. There can be no assurance that any claims by third parties, if proven to have merit, will not materially adversely affect our business, liquidity or financial condition.
