8.       LITIGATION

 

a. The following is a complete list of pending and threatened litigation or claims involving amounts claimed against the Company in an indefinite amount or in excess of $50,000 in each case:

 

1. On April 18, 2019, an Application For The Approval of a Class Action Lawsuit (“Application”) was filed against, inter alia, Outbrain Inc. and Outbrain Israel Ltd., with the District Court of Tel Aviv – Jaffa in Israel, alleging violations of Israel's Consumer Protection Law. The claim is on account of advertising on publishers sites, which the plaintiffs allege is not sufficiently labeled to allow the reader to distinguish between articles (editorial) and promotional content. As of the date of this report, the litigation is in preliminary stages and we are therefore unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any.

 

2. On April 29, 2021, we were notified that the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) is conducting a criminal investigation into the hiring activities in our industry that includes us. Though the subpoena indicated a May 27, 2021 production date, Outbrain’s attorneys Wilson Sonsini have had several meetings with the DOJ and are mutually agreeing on the timing and priority of document production to facilitate the DOJ’s investigation. The Company is unable at this time to express any opinion as to the outcome of this matter or as to the possible range of loss, if any.

 

b. The following are the only claims which the Company has against others (other than claims on accounts receivable), which the Company is asserting or intends to assert, and in which the potential recovery exceeds $50,000:
