Commitments and Contingencies

(a) Operating Leases

The Company leases office space and equipment under non-cancelable operating leases with various expiration dates through 2028. Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases, excluding the contractual sublease income of $8.3 million which is expected to be received through February 2023, are as follows (in thousands):



	As of December 31, 2018
2019	$	9,479
2020	9,685
2021	9,661
2022	6,536
2023	2,308
Thereafter	5,663
Total future minimum lease payments	$	43,332

Rent expense was $7.7 million, $7.6 million, and $7.1 million for 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Sublease income was $1.9 million, $1.7 million, and $0.7 million for 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. As of December 31, 2018, the Company has $0.4 million in future minimum lease payments under capital leases.

(b) Legal Matters

The Company is pursuing affirmative claims against the OPM to obtain payment for services provided by the Company between March 1, 2016 and August 31, 2016 pursuant to our contract with OPM for the Government’s Federal Flexible Account Program (“FSAFEDS”). The Company initially issued its invoice for these services in February 2017. On December 22, 2017, the Company received the Contracting Officer’s “final decision” refusing payment of the invoiced amount and otherwise denying the Company’s Certified Claim. As a result of this decision, and a related Certified Claim that OPM subsequently denied, on February 8, 2018, we filed an appeal to the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals (“CBCA”) against OPM for services provided by the Company between March 1, 2016 and August 31, 2016. On August 3, 2018, we also filed an appeal to the CBCA of OPM’s June 21, 2018 denial of a Request for Equitable Adjustment for extra work associated with a contract modification imposing new security and other requirements not part of the original scope of FSAFED’s contract work. In connection with the Company’s claims against OPM, OPM has also claimed that an erroneous statement in a certificate signed by a former executive officer constituted a violation of the False Claims Act and moved to dismiss part of our claim against OPM as a result. In March 2019, the Company filed a Motion for Summary Judgement with CBCA on the December 22nd denial by the OPM. OPM has moved to defer consideration of the Summary Judgment Motion to permit it further discovery. That Motion has been briefed and the case is on hold pending a ruling by the CBCA which could be handed down any day. In order to accelerate resolution of all matters before the CBCA, the Company’s appeal of the June 21st denial by the OPM was withdrawn on April 9, 2019. The remaining claim related to the OPM’s December 22nd denial, valued at approximately $6.2 million, is scheduled to go to trial in July 2019 if the pending Summary Judgment is denied by the CBCA. As with all legal proceedings, no assurance can be provided as to the outcome of these matters or if we will be successful in recovering the full claimed amount.

On March 9, 2018, a putative class action was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California (the “Securities Class Action”). On May 16, 2019, a consolidated amended complaint was filed by the lead plaintiffs asserting claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, against the Company, our former Chief Executive Officer and our former Chief Financial Officer on behalf of purchasers of WageWorks common stock between May 6, 2016 and March 1, 2018. The complaint also alleges claims under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, arising from our June 19, 2017 common stock offering against those same defendants, as well as the members of our Board of Directors at the time of that offering and the underwriters of the offering.

On June 22, 2018 and September 6, 2018, two derivative lawsuits were filed against certain of our officers and directors and the Company (as nominal defendant) in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Mateo. The actions were consolidated. On July 23, 2018, a similar derivative lawsuit was filed against certain of our officers and directors and the Company (as nominal defendant) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California (together, the “Derivative Suits”). The Derivative Suits purport to allege claims related to breaches of fiduciary duties, waste of corporate assets, and unjust enrichment. In addition, the complaint in District Court includes a claim for abuse of control, and the complaint in Superior Court includes a claim to require the Company to hold an annual shareholder meeting. The allegations in the Derivative Suits relate to substantially the same facts as those underlying the Securities Class Action described above. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages and fees and costs. In addition, the complaint in the Superior Court seeks for us to provide past operational reports and financial statements, to publish timely and accurate operational reports and financial statements going forward, to hold an annual shareholder meeting, and to take steps to improve its corporate governance and internal procedures.

Plaintiffs in the Superior Court action filed a Consolidated Complaint on May 2, 2019. As stipulated by the parties, and approved by the District Court, the District Court action is stayed. The parties in the District Court action are to notify the District Court within 15 days of (1) the dismissal of the Securities Class Action, (2) the denial of defendants’ motion(s) to dismiss, or (3) a party giving notice that they no longer consent to the voluntary stay.

The Company voluntarily contacted the San Francisco office of the SEC Division of Enforcement regarding the restatement and independent investigation. The Company is providing information and documents to the SEC and will continue to cooperate with the SEC’s investigation into these matters. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of California also opened an investigation. The Company has provided documents and information to the U.S. Attorney’s Office and will continue to cooperate with any inquiries by the U.S. Attorney’s Office regarding the matter.

The Company records a provision for contingent losses when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Based on currently available information, the Company does not believe that any additional liabilities relating to other unresolved matters are probable or that the amount of any resulting loss is estimable. In addition, in accordance with the relevant authoritative guidance, for matters which the likelihood of material loss is at least reasonably possible, the Company provides disclosure of the possible loss or range of loss. If a reasonable estimate cannot be made, the Company will provide disclosure to that effect. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and the Company’s view of these matters may change in the future. Were an unfavorable outcome to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the period in which the unfavorable outcome occurs, and potentially in future periods.

The Company is involved in various other litigation, governmental proceedings and claims, not described above, that arise in the normal course of business. While it is not possible to determine the ultimate outcome or the duration of such litigation, governmental proceedings or claims, the Company believes, based on current knowledge and the advice of counsel, that such litigation, proceedings and claims will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
