Legal Matters
The Company is a party to certain claims, suits, and proceedings which arise in the ordinary course and conduct of our business and has certain unresolved claims pending, the outcomes of which are not determinable at this time. The Company records a liability when it believes that it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the Company determines that a loss is reasonably possible and the loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company discloses the possible loss or range of loss. In the Company’s opinion, resolution of pending matters is not expected to have a material adverse impact on the results of operations, cash flows, or the Company’s financial position, as of September 30, 2021. Given the unpredictable nature of legal proceedings, there is a reasonable possibility that an unfavorable resolution of one or more such proceedings could in the future materially affect the results of operations, cash flows, or financial position in a particular period. However, based on the information known by the Company, except as set forth herein, any such amount is either immaterial or it is not possible to provide an estimated range of any such possible loss.

On May 15, 2019, a former employee of the Company filed a suit against the Company in California for claims including breach of contract, retaliation and wrongful termination. The case was tried in September 2021 and the jury ruled in favor of the former employee and rendered a verdict against the Company for $11.6 million in compensatory damages. Accordingly, the Company has recorded a loss contingency accrual and corresponding general and administrative expense for this amount. The Company believes that the jury verdict is the result of significant trial error and seeks to overturn the verdict in post-trial motions before the court and, if necessary, appeal the matter.
