Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company is subject to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of the Company’s business, including claims for damages for personal injuries. In the Company’s opinion, after discussion with legal counsel, the ultimate resolution of any of these pending ordinary course claims and legal proceedings will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

The Company is in the process of complying with a civil subpoena from the United States Department of Justice received in January of 2016 related to two locations acquired along with SunCrest in late 2013. SunCrest had previously acquired the locations in its merger with Omni Home Health in 2011. The subpoena seeks the production of various pre-acquisition business records limited to certain Omni operations in Sarasota and Tampa, Florida for the years 2007-2011. The Company is cooperating fully with this investigation. The subject operations generated less than 1% of the Company’s consolidated revenues in 2015.
