Litigation Matters
On July 24, 2025, a federal securities law complaint was filed by the City of Hollywood Police Officers’ Retirement System against the Company and Messrs. Bisignano, Lyons, Hau, and Best in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint is brought on behalf of a putative class of purchasers of Company securities from July 22, 2024 to July 24, 2025 and alleges violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The complaint alleges, among other things, that certain statements made by the Company about Clover’s growth were false and/or misleading and led to a decline in the Company’s stock price over the purported class period. The defendants have not yet answered or otherwise responded to the complaint in this action. We intend to vigorously defend this case. We cannot predict with any degree of certainty the outcome of the suit or determine the extent of any potential liability or damages. The Company has also received demands on the board of directors from purported Company shareholders that the Company pursue certain litigation against certain of its current and former directors and officers alleging, among other things, supposed breaches of duty based on the factual allegations made in the securities class action complaint. Such demands may precede derivative actions which name the Company as a nominal defendant. To date, no such litigation has been filed and the Company cannot predict with any degree of certainty whether derivative actions will be filed in the future.
In the normal course of business, the Company or its subsidiaries are named as defendants in lawsuits in which claims are asserted against the Company. The Company maintained an accrual of $38 million and $43 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, related to its various legal proceedings. The Company’s estimate of the possible range of exposure for various legal proceedings in excess of amounts accrued is $0 million to approximately $120 million. In the opinion of management, the liabilities, if any, which may ultimately result from such legal proceedings are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Electronic Payments Transactions
In connection with the Company’s processing of electronic payments transactions, which are separate and distinct from the settlement payment transactions described in Note 1, funds received from subscribers are invested from the time the Company collects the funds until payments are made to the applicable recipients. These subscriber funds are invested in short-term, highly liquid investments. Subscriber funds, which are not included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, can fluctuate significantly based on consumer bill payment and debit card activity and totaled $1.4 billion and $1.3 billion at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Indemnifications and Warranties
The Company may indemnify its clients from certain costs resulting from claims of patent, copyright or trademark infringement associated with its clients’ use of the Company’s products or services. The Company may also warrant to clients that its products and services will operate in accordance with identified specifications. From time to time, in connection with sales of businesses, the Company agrees to indemnify the buyers of such businesses for liabilities associated with the businesses that are sold. Payments, net of recoveries, under such indemnification or warranty provisions were not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
