CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER MATTERS CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER MATTERS
We are a party to various claims, complaints and proceedings incident to the operation of our business including, but not limited to, those relating to commercial and employment claims, securities class actions, derivative claims, environmental matters, risk management matters (e.g., vehicle liability, workers’ compensation, etc.) and administrative assessments primarily associated with operating taxes. Other than as described below, we believe that all current proceedings are routine in nature and incidental to the conduct of our business and that the ultimate resolution of these claims, complaints and proceedings will not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

We will establish loss provisions for matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Our estimates regarding potential losses and materiality are based on our judgment and assessment of the claims utilizing currently available information. Although we will continue to reassess our reserves and estimates based on future developments, our objective assessment of the legal merits of such claims may not always be predictive of the outcome and actual results may vary from our current estimates.
Securities Litigation Relating to Residual Value Estimates
On May 20, 2020, a putative class action on behalf of purchasers of our securities who purchased or otherwise acquired their securities between July 23, 2015 and February 13, 2020, inclusive (the “Class Period”), was commenced against us and certain of our current and former officers in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the defendants misrepresented the Company’s depreciation policy and residual value estimates for its vehicles during the Class Period in violation of Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and seeks to recover, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages and attorneys' fees and costs.
In addition, on June 26, 2020, a shareholder derivative complaint purportedly on behalf of the Company was filed in the Circuit Court of the 11th Judicial Circuit in and for Miami-Dade County, Florida, against us as nominal defendant and certain of our current and former officers and our current directors, relating to the allegations set forth in the securities class action complaint and alleging breaches of fiduciary duties and unjust enrichment. The plaintiff, on our behalf, is seeking an award of monetary damages and restitution to us, improvements in our corporate governance and internal procedures, and legal fees.
We believe the claims asserted in the complaints are without merit and intend to defend against them vigorously.
