Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies (a) Legal Proceedings and Other Matters Settled Litigation Related to the Convertible Preferred Stock Issuance In October 2021, Anthony Franchi (the “Plaintiff”) brought a putative class action in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against the Company's current directors, the Company, White Hat Capital Partners LP (“White Hat”) and Magnetar Capital LLC (“Magnetar”), which was fully resolved by the parties and the case dismissed by court order on May 3, 2022. The ultimate resolution of this matters did not result in a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition. Other Matters In the ordinary course of business, we include indemnification provisions in certain of our customer contracts to indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse such customers for certain losses, including but not limited to losses related to third-party claims of intellectual property infringement arising from the customer’s use of our products or services. We may also, from time to time, receive indemnification requests from customers related to third-party claims that 911 calls were improperly routed during an emergency. We evaluate such claims as and when they arise. We do not always agree with customers that they are entitled to indemnification and in such cases reject their claims. Despite maintaining that we have properly carried out our duties, we may seek coverage under our various insurance policies; however, we cannot be sure that we will be able to maintain or obtain insurance coverage at acceptable costs or in sufficient amounts or that our insurer will not disclaim coverage as to such claims. Accordingly, pending or future claims asserted against us by a party that we agree to indemnify could result in legal costs and damages that could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition. There are certain other pending and threatened legal actions which arise in the normal course of business. Although the ultimate outcome of litigation is difficult to accurately predict, we believe that the outcome of these other pending and threatened actions will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations. (b) Employment Change of Control and Indemnification Agreements As of July 31, 2022, we had an employment agreement with Michael Porcelain, our former President and CEO. The employment agreement generally provided for an annual salary and bonus award. On August 10, 2022, we announced the mutually agreed separation between the Company and Mr. Porcelain as President and CEO and member of the Board of Directors. The Company entered into a separation agreement with Mr. Porcelain. On August 9, 2022, our Board of Directors appointed our Chairman of the Board, Ken Peterman, as President and CEO, and the Company entered an employment agreement with Mr. Peterman generally providing for an annual salary, bonus award, sign-on bonus, equity incentive awards and, under certain termination of employment, severance payment. Transition costs related to Mr. Porcelain, pursuant to his separation agreement with the Company, were approximately $7,424,000, of which $3,764,000 related to the acceleration of unamortized stock-based compensation, with the remaining $3,660,000 related to his severance payments and benefits upon termination of employment. The cash portion of the transition costs of $3,660,000 was paid to Mr. Porcelain in October 2022. Also, in connection with Mr. Peterman entering into an employment agreement with the Company, effective as of August 9, 2022, we incurred a $1,000,000 expense related to a cash sign-on bonus. CEO transition costs related to Mr. Porcelain and Mr. Peterman were expensed in our Unallocated segment during fiscal 2023. We have also entered into change of control agreements with certain of our executive officers and certain key employees. All of these agreements may require payments by us, in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, a change in control of our Company or termination of the employee.
