Litigation
The Company is subject to routine litigation and other claims that arise in the normal course of business. Except as disclosed below, management is not aware of any pending or threatened lawsuits or proceedings that are expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
On May 23, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with John Chisholm (a former CEO of the Company) to resolve a claim made by Mr. Chisholm in arbitration for payment of outstanding severance and claims made by the Company against Mr. Chisholm. The settlement resulted in the reversal of $2.3 million of accrued severance costs during the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 and is included as a reduction to severance costs in our consolidated statements of operations. In connection with the matter related to Mr. Chisholm, the Company commenced arbitration and other legal proceedings against Casey Doherty/ Doherty & Doherty LLP (Flotek’s former outside general counsel) and Moss Adams LLP and its predecessor, Hein & Associates LLP (Flotek’s former independent public audit firm) to recover damages. During June 2023, the Company entered into a settlement with Moss Adams LLP and its predecessor, Hein & Associates LLP. During October 2023, the Company entered into a settlement with Mr. Casey Doherty and Doherty & Doherty LLP. As a result of the various settlements during 2023, the Company considers this matter closed.
Other Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is subject to concentrations of credit risk within trade accounts receivable, and related party accounts receivable, as the Company does not generally require collateral as support for trade receivables. In addition, the majority of the Company’s cash is invested in major U.S. financial institutions and balances often exceed insurable amounts.
