Contingencies
In March 2012, Trans Ova was named as a defendant in a licensing and patent infringement suit brought by XY, LLC alleging that certain of Trans Ova's activities breach a licensing agreement and infringe on patents that XY, LLC allegedly owns. Trans Ova filed a number of counterclaims in the case. The matter proceeded to a jury trial in January 2016, and in February 2016, the jury determined that XY, LLC and Trans Ova had each breached the licensing agreement and that Trans Ova had infringed the intellectual property of XY, LLC. In April 2016, the court issued its order, entering a jury award of damages to Trans Ova in the amount of $528 and a jury award of damages to XY, LLC in the amount of $6,066, each with prejudgment interest. The order provides for the continuation of Trans Ova's license to XY, LLC's technology, subject to an ongoing royalty for Trans Ova which is subject to a post-judgment motion and potential appeals therefrom. Since the inception of the license, Trans Ova has remitted payments to XY, LLC pursuant to the terms of the original license agreement and has recorded these payments in cost of services in the consolidated statements of operations for the respective periods. For the period from inception of the agreement through the court's order, aggregate royalty and license payments were $3,170, of which $2,759 had not yet been deposited by XY, LLC. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded litigation settlement expense of $4,228, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and represents the excess of the net damages awarded to XY, LLC, including prejudgment interest, over the liability previously recorded by Trans Ova for uncashed checks previously remitted to XY, LLC. The Company and Trans Ova believe they have compelling grounds to overturn the adverse rulings of the order through appellate actions and that, as a result, the amount of damages could be reduced or eliminated. No assurances can be given, however, that such matters will ultimately be ruled in Trans Ova's favor, and XY, LLC may also elect to appeal aspects of the ruling that were in Trans Ova's favor. Moreover, Trans Ova and the Company could elect to enter into a settlement agreement in order to avoid the further costs and uncertainties of litigation, to modify the license to XY, LLC's technologies, or to recover monetary damages related to Trans Ova's antitrust counterclaims.
In May 2016, two purported shareholder class action lawsuits, captioned Hoffman v. Intrexon Corporation et al. and Gibrall v. Intrexon Corporation et al., were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of purchasers of Intrexon's common stock between May 12, 2015 and April 20, 2016 (the "Class Period"). The complaints name as defendants Intrexon and certain of its current officers (the "Defendants"). The complaints allege, among other things, that, in violation of the federal securities laws, the Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements in the Company's periodic reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q filed during the Class Period with respect to the Company's business, operations and prospects. The basis for the plaintiffs' claims derived from a report published in April 2016 on the Seeking Alpha financial blog. The plaintiffs seek compensatory damages, interest and an award of reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. In July 2016, the court hearing the matters entered an order consolidating the lawsuits and appointing a lead plaintiff. The Company intends to defend the lawsuit vigorously; however, there can be no assurance regarding the ultimate outcome of these lawsuits.
The Company may become subject to other claims and assessments from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. The Company accrues liabilities for such matters when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company does not believe that any such matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
