These accruals are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter. In September 2018, the Company’s German subsidiary, SolarEdge Technologies GmbH received a complaint filed by competitor SMA Solar Technology AG (“SMA”). The complaint, filed in the District Court Düsseldorf, Germany, alleges that SolarEdge's 12.5kW - 27.6kW inverters infringe two of the plaintiff’s patents. In its complaint, SMA requests inter alia an injunction and a determination for a claim for damages for sales in Germany. Plaintiff also asserted a value in dispute of EUR 5.5 million (approximately $6,450) for both patents. The Company challenged the validity of both patents. With respect to one of the claims, in October 2020, the German Patent Court rendered the SMA patent invalid. With respect to the other claim, in November 2019, the first instance court stayed the infringement proceedings since it considered it to be highly likely that the second SMA patent would also be rendered invalid. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the claims asserted and intends to vigorously defend against the remaining lawsuit. F - 23 SOLAREDGE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
