NOTE 12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

We are involved in various lawsuits, claims, inquiries, and other regulatory and compliance matters, most of which are routine to the nature of our business. When it is probable that a loss will be incurred and where a range of the loss can be reasonably‌ estimated, the best estimate within the range is accrued. When the best estimate within the range cannot be determined, the low end of the range is accrued. The ultimate resolution of these claims could affect future results of operations should our exposure be materially different from our estimates or should liabilities be incurred that were not previously accrued. Potential insurance reimbursements are not offset against potential liabilities.

On November 28, 2022, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Stryker Corp. to settle two complaints filed against the Company and any Company counter claims for a total amount of $26,000 paid by the Company to Stryker Corp (the “Settlement Amount”). The Settlement Amount was scheduled to be paid by the Company in three separate installments consisting of: (i) $5,000 on or by December 16, 2022, (ii) $8,000 at any time between January 1, 2023 and January 16, 2023, and (iii) $13,000 at any time between April 1, 2023 and April 17, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, the Company remitted payment on the first and second installments of $5,000 and $8,000, respectively, and subsequent to quarter end, the Company remitted the third and final payment of $13,000 on April 14, 2023. For additional information refer to Note 14 of our Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
