Note 10— Commitments and Contingencies

Guarantees and Indemnification

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may provide indemnifications of varying scope and terms to clients, vendors, lessors, business partners, and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of breach of such agreements, services to be provided by the Company or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with directors and certain officers and employees that will require the Company, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors, officers or employees. No demands have been made upon the Company to provide indemnification under such agreements, and thus, there are no claims that the Company is aware of that could have a material effect on its balance sheet, statement of income or statement of cash flows. Accordingly, no amounts for any obligation have been recorded at September 30, 2021.

Litigation

From time to time, the Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of the various legal proceedings and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that any of these proceedings or other claims will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

On June 28, 2021, a class action lawsuit was filed against the Company, the members of the Company’s board of directors, and one of the Company’s executive officers (collectively, the “Defendants”) in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. The complaint alleges generally that the Defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders in connection with the negotiation and approval of the amendments to the Company’s certificate of incorporation and related matters voted on at the Special Meeting of Stockholders held on December 22, 2020 (the “Amendments”). Plaintiff seeks a court order rescinding the Amendments, as well as monetary damages. On August 27, 2021, the Defendants moved to dismiss the complaint. On October 8, 2021, the plaintiff filed an opposition to Defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint. The Company believes that all of the claims asserted in the complaint are without merit and intends to defend against them vigorously. However, litigation is inherently uncertain and there can be no assurance regarding the likelihood that the Defendants’ defense of the action will be successful.

Employment Contracts

The Company has entered into agreements with severance terms with certain employees and officers, all of whom are employed on an at-will basis, subject to certain severance obligations in the event of certain involuntary terminations. The Company may be required to accelerate the vesting of certain stock-based awards in the event of changes in control, as defined, and involuntary terminations.
