NOTE 9. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company is a party to, or has a significant relationship to, legal proceedings, lawsuits, and other claims that arise in the ordinary course of the Company's business. Except as described below, the Company is not aware of any other legal proceedings or claims that it believes may have, individually or taken together, a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company’s policy is to expense legal costs as they are incurred.
In February and March 2024, three putative securities class action lawsuits were filed and subsequently consolidated as In re agilon health, inc. Securities Litigation, No. 1:24-cv-00297 (W.D. Tex.) (the “Consolidated Securities Matter”). The Consolidated Securities Matter names the Company and certain current and former executive officers and directors of the Company, among others as defendants and asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) based on alleged misstatements between April 2021 and February 2024 in the Company’s annual and quarterly reports, investor presentations and earnings releases concerning, among other things, financial guidance, medical margin, Adjusted EBITDA, growth strategy, and data management. The Consolidated Securities Matter seeks compensatory damages, judgment interest, attorney’s fees and costs, and other unspecified equitable and/or injunctive relief. In August 2025, the court dismissed certain claims, including all Securities Act claims and portions of the Exchange Act claims, and allowed others to proceed. In April 2026, the court denied defendants’ motion for clarification and granted, in part, defendants’ motion for reconsideration. Discovery is ongoing. 
In May and October 2024, two putative stockholder derivative actions were filed and subsequently consolidated as In re agilon health, inc. Shareholder Derivative Litigation, No. 1:24-cv-00531 (W.D. Tex.) (the “Consolidated Derivative Matter”). These actions name the Company and certain current and former executive officers and directors of the Company as defendants. The Consolidated Derivative Matter generally assert claims under Sections 14(a), 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, as well as common law claims including breach of fiduciary duty, among others, based on allegations similar to those in the Consolidated Securities Matter. The Consolidated Derivative Matter seeks compensatory and
punitive damages, corporate governance reforms, restitution, contribution under Section 11(f) of the Securities Act and Section 21D of the Exchange Act, attorney’s fees and costs, and other relief. The proceedings were stayed during the motion to dismiss phase for the Consolidated Securities Matter and resumed in March 2026. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint in April 2026.
In September 2025, a putative stockholder derivative class action lawsuit was filed in federal court in Ohio, titled Bushansky v. Steven J. Sell et al., 2:25-cv-01068 (S.D. Ohio) naming the Company and certain current and former executive officers and directors of the Company. The allegations in this lawsuit are substantially the same as those asserted in the Consolidated Derivative Matter, alongside new allegations including that the Company’s 2024 Proxy Statement contained misrepresentations. On January 14, 2026, the Court granted the defendants’ motion to transfer the Ohio lawsuit to the Western District of Texas, where it would likely be consolidated with the Consolidated Derivative Matters. On January 22, 2026, the plaintiff filed a Notice of Voluntary Dismissal of his Complaint pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a) and 23.1(c). The court dismissed the Bushansky case without prejudice on January 23, 2026.
On December 31, 2025, a putative securities class action, Vandersluis v. agilon health, Inc., No. 1:25-cv-07167 (E.D.N.Y.), was filed, naming the Company and certain current and former executive officers and directors of the Company as defendants. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act based on alleged misstatements between February and August 2025 in the Company’s quarterly reports and earnings releases related to, among other things, the Company’s financial guidance, medical margin and Adjusted EBITDA results and seeks damages on behalf of a purported class of stockholders. On April 28, 2026, the court formally appointed Lead Plaintiff and Lead Counsel and will be entering a scheduling order with a deadline for filing an amended complaint.
On February 12, 2026, a putative stockholder derivative action lawsuit, Sinha v. Sell et al., No. 1:26-cv-00846 (E.D.N.Y.) (“Sinha”), was filed, naming the Company and certain current and former executive officers and directors of the Company as defendants. Sinha asserts claims under Sections 14(a) and 10(b) of the Exchange Act, as well as common law claims including breach of fiduciary duty, among others, in connection with statements made between February 2025 and August 2025 in the Company’s quarterly reports and earnings releases related to, among other things, the Company’s financial guidance, medical margin, and Adjusted EBITDA results. Sinha seeks corporate governance reforms, restitution, attorney’s fees and costs, and other relief. The parties have entered into a stipulation to stay this lawsuit until the earlier of dismissal of the related securities class action (Vandersluis) or the close of discovery in that action.
The Company intends to vigorously defend the foregoing matters; however, at this time, the Company is unable to predict the outcome or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss.
