Legal Proceedings

The Company is currently involved in various legal proceedings.

A class action lawsuit was filed against the Company, on June 5, 2019, in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Chancery Division, captioned Corey Heard, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, v. Omnicell, Inc., Case No. 2019-CH-06817 (the “Heard Action”). The complaint seeks class certification, monetary damages in the form of statutory damages for willful and/or reckless or, in the alternative, negligent violation of the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (“BIPA”), and certain declaratory, injunctive, and other relief based on causes of action directed to allegations of violation of BIPA by the Company. The complaint was served on the Company on June 13, 2019. On July 31, 2019, the Company filed a motion to stay or consolidate the case with the action Yana Mazya, et al. v. Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital, et al., Case No. 2018-CH-07161, pending in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Chancery Division (the “Mazya Action”). The Court subsequently, on October 10, 2019, denied the motion, without prejudice, as being moot in view of the dismissal of the claims against the Company in the Mazya Action. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint in the Heard Action on October 31, 2019. The hearing on the Company’s motion to dismiss was held on September 2, 2020. The Court ruled from the bench and dismissed the complaint without prejudice giving plaintiff leave to file an amended complaint by September 30, 2020. Plaintiff filed an amended complaint on September 30, 2020 and the Company subsequently filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on October 28, 2020. The Company's motion to dismiss is now fully briefed and the Court has scheduled oral argument on the motion for June 4, 2021. The Company intends to defend the lawsuit vigorously.

On December 21, 2020, Becton, Dickinson and Company (“BD”) filed a complaint against the Company in the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, asserting claims of misappropriation under the Defend Trade Secrets Act, misappropriation under the North Carolina Trade Secrets Protection Act, unfair competition, and unfair/deceptive trade practices in violation of North Carolina law (the “Omnicell Complaint”). This action (the “Omnicell Action”) was commenced in relation to another action brought by BD, in the same Court (the “Related Matter”) against a former BD employee who is also a former Company employee (the “Former Employee”) alleging that the Former Employee had violated the Former Employee’s legal obligations to BD regarding BD’s confidential and trade secret information when the Former Employee allegedly downloaded certain documents from BD’s information technology system following the end of the Former Employee’s employment with BD. In connection with the Related Matter, BD, the Former Employee, and the Company entered into a protocol with the purpose of facilitating the return to BD of any BD documents that may have been resident, as a result of the Former Employee’s actions, on any devices belonging to the Former Employee or the Company. The Omnicell Complaint seeks injunctive relief and monetary damages in the form of compensatory, punitive, and exemplary damages, attorneys’ fees

and costs, and pre-judgment and post-judgment interest. On March 17, 2021, the parties filed a joint motion to stay the Omnicell Action, which motion remains pending with the Court. On April 30, 2021, pending the decision from the Court regarding the joint motion to stay the Omnicell Action, the Company filed a consent motion for extension of time supported by BD to file the Company’s answer to the Omnicell Complaint. The consent motion was granted by the Court on April 30, 2021, and the Company’s answer to the Omnicell Complaint is now due June 3, 2021. The Company intends to defend the lawsuit vigorously.

As required under ASC 450, Contingencies, the Company accrues for contingencies when it believes that a loss is probable and that it can reasonably estimate the amount of any such loss. The Company has not recorded any material accrual for contingent liabilities associated with the legal proceedings described above based on its belief that any potential loss, while reasonably possible, is not probable. Further, any possible range of loss in these matters cannot be reasonably estimated at this time or is not deemed material. The Company believes that it has valid defenses with respect to these legal proceedings pending against it. However, litigation is inherently unpredictable, and it is possible that cash flows or results of operations could be materially affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of any of these legal proceedings or because of the diversion of management’s attention and the creation of significant expenses.
