Commitments and Contingencies	Note 20 – Commitments and Contingencies Legal Matters From time to time the Company is subject to or otherwise involved in various lawsuits, claims, investigations and legal proceedings that arise out of or are incidental to the conduct of our business (collectively, “Legal Matters”), including those relating to employment matters, patent rights, regulatory compliance matters, stockholder claims, and contractual and other commercial disputes. Such Legal Matters, even if not meritorious, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. Additionally, an unfavorable outcome in a legal matter, including in a patent dispute, could require the Company to pay damages, entitle claimants to other relief, such as royalties, or could prevent the Company from selling some of its products in certain jurisdictions. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of or estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any, associated with such legal matters. Adtran Networks Legal Matter On May 8, 2023, Adtran Networks SE and its subsidiary, ADVA Optical Networking North America, Inc. (together, “Adtran Networks”), filed a lawsuit in the U.S District Court for the Eastern District of Texas (“EDTX”) against Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd (“Huawei”) seeking a declaration from the court that Huawei violated its commitments to negotiate in good faith and to license standard essential patents (“SEPs”), to the extent any SEPs are practiced by Adtran Networks, on Fair, Reasonable and Non-Discriminatory (“FRAND”) terms and conditions. The case also sought to obtain a ruling by the EDTX that Adtran Networks has complied with its own commitments and requested that the Court establish FRAND terms and conditions for obtaining a FRAND license on any SEPs to the extent they are practiced by Adtran Networks. The lawsuit further sought to enjoin Huawei from enforcing certain Huawei patents that Adtran Networks considers invalid and/or not practiced, and Adtran Networks alleged that Huawei had infringed upon an Adtran Networks patent. On July 20, 2023, Adtran Networks SE was served with a complaint filed by Huawei against Adtran Networks SE in the District Court München I, Germany, alleging that certain of its products infringe upon one of Huawei’s patents. On August 22, 2023, Adtran Networks entered into a settlement agreement with Huawei pursuant to which the parties agreed to, among other things, dismiss the lawsuits described above. DPLTA Exit and Recurring Compensation Costs Pursuant to the terms of the DPLTA, each Adtran Networks shareholder (other than the Company) has received an offer to elect either (1) to remain an Adtran Networks shareholder and receive from us an Annual Recurring Compensation payment, or (2) to receive Exit Compensation plus guaranteed interest. The guaranteed interest under the Exit Compensation is calculated from the effective date of the DPLTA to the date the shares are tendered, less any Annual Recurring Compensation paid. The guaranteed interest rate is 5.0% plus a variable component (according to the German Civil Code) that was 3.12% as of December 31, 2023. Assuming all the minority holders of currently outstanding Adtran Networks shares were to elect the second option, we would be obligated to make aggregate Exit Compensation payments, including guaranteed interest, of approximately €310.3 million or approximately $342.5 million, based on an exchange rate as of December 31, 2023 and reflecting interest accrued through December 31, 2023 during the pendency of the appraisal proceedings discussed below. Shareholders electing the first option of Annual Recurring Compensation may later elect the second option. The opportunity for outside Adtran Networks shareholders to tender Adtran Networks shares in exchange for Exit Compensation had been scheduled to expire on March 16, 2023. However, due to the appraisal proceedings that have been initiated in accordance with applicable German law, this time period for tendering shares has been extended pursuant to the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) and will end two months after the date on which a final decision in such appraisal proceedings has been published in the Federal Gazette (Bundesanzeiger). Our obligation to pay Annual Recurring Compensation under the DPLTA is a continuing payment obligation, which will amount to approximately €10.6 million or $11.7 million (based on the current exchange rate) per year assuming none of the minority Adtran Networks shareholders were to elect Exit Compensation. The foregoing amounts do not reflect any potential increase in payment obligations that we may have depending on the outcome of ongoing appraisal proceedings in Germany. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we accrued $11.5 million in Annual Recurring Compensation, which was reflected as an increase to retained (deficit) earnings. On October 18, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the Company to purchase additional shares of Adtran Networks through open market purchases not to exceed 15,346,544 shares. For the year ended December 31, 2023, 67 thousand shares, respectively, of Adtran Networks stock was tendered to the Company and Exit Compensation payments of approximately €1.2 million, respectively, or approximately $1.3 million based on an exchange rate as of December 31, 2023, were paid to Adtran Networks shareholders. Performance Bonds Certain contracts, customers and jurisdictions in which the Company do business require us to provide various guarantees of performance such as bid bonds, performance bonds and customs bonds. As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had commitments related to these bonds totaling $10.8 million and $22.0 million, respectively, which expire at various dates through April 2031. In general the Company would only be liable for the amount of these guarantees in the event of default under each contract, the probability of which the Company believes is remote. Purchase Obligations The Company purchases components from a variety of suppliers and use contract manufacturers to provide manufacturing services for our products. Our inventory purchase obligations are for short-term product manufacturing requirements, as well as for obligations to suppliers to secure manufacturing capacity. Certain of our inventory purchase obligations with contract manufacturers and suppliers relate to arrangements to secure supply and pricing for certain product components for multi-year periods. As of December 31, 2023, purchase obligations totaled $252.5 million.
