17. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

From time to time, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Management does not believe the final disposition any of these matters is likely to have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, except as follows.

On May 22, 2020, Michael Powell, a former employee of a subsidiary of the Company, filed suit against the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company, including DragonWave-X, LLC, DragonWave-X, Inc., Transform-X, Inc., and COMSovereign Corp, in the Pima County Arizona Superior Court, Case No. C20202216. On December 7, 2020, Mr. Powell filed his first amended complaint against the Company, DragonWave Corp., and Transform-X, Inc. Mr. Powell alleged that he entered into an employment agreement with DragonWave-X, Inc. in July 2018, was terminated without cause in May 2019, and claimed he was owed approximately $182 thousand in wages and $50 thousand in bonuses. Mr. Powell sought approximately $697 thousand in treble damages, punitive damages, consequential damages, interest and attorneys’ fees and costs. In July, 2021, the Company reached and paid a final settlement on this matter totaling $100 thousand.
