In December 2012, a former service provider of InspireMD GmbH filed a claim with the Labor Court in Buenos Aires, Argentina in the amount of $193,378 plus interest (6% in dollars or 18.5% in pesos), social benefits, legal expenses and fees (25% of the award) against InspireMD Ltd. and InspireMD GmbH. The Company settled with the plaintiff in the amount of $80,000 plus $20,000 for legal fees, which was approved by the Labor Court and paid by the Company in March 2016.

In November 2015, The Company received written communication from a distributor to provide unspecified compensation for pre-paid goods subject to the voluntary field action. After considering the views of its legal counsel as well as other factors, the Company’s management believes that a loss from any related future proceedings would range from a minimal amount up to 1,075,000 Euros and is reasonably possible.

The Company’s management, after considering the views of its legal counsel as well as other factors, is of the opinion that a loss to the Company is neither probable nor in an amount or range of loss that is estimable.

In July 2016, a service provider filed a suit seeking damages from the Company’s subsidiary amounting to $1,965,000. The Company’s management, after considering the views of its legal counsel as well as other factors, is of the opinion that a loss to the Company is neither probable nor in an amount or range of loss that is estimable.
