Legal Proceedings
In June 2020, Roche Diabetes Care, Inc. (“Roche”) filed a patent infringement lawsuit against the Company in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware alleging that the Company’s manufacture and sale of its Omnipod Insulin Management System, including Pods, PDMs, and other components of the system, and kits in the United States infringed Roche’s now-expired U.S. Patent 7,931,613. Roche was seeking monetary damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. In July 2022, the Company entered into a Settlement and License Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Roche to settle the pending litigation. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, in exchange for a release of claims, mutual covenant not to sue for five years, and license to the patent in suit from Roche, the Company made a one-time payment of $20.0 million to Roche. On July 12, 2022, following the filing by the parties of a Stipulation of Dismissal, the Court ordered the case dismissed with prejudice. The $20.0 million charge is included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022.
The Company is, from time to time, involved in the normal course of business in various legal proceedings, including intellectual property, contract, employment, and product liability suits. The Company does not expect the outcome of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on its results of operations.
Contract Dispute
Throughout 2022, the Company was engaged in negotiations over a contractual dispute involving in-licensed intellectual property. In December 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with Automated Glucose Control LLC (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company made a one-time payment of $25.0 million for the acquisition of developed technology and patents and the release of future obligations, including any future royalty obligations. This amount, together with transaction costs, was allocated between the assets acquired and the settlement of the contractual dispute. A value of $12.0 million was allocated to acquired developed technology and a value of $9.5 million was allocated to acquired patents. The acquired developed technology and patents are being amortized over their useful lives of 13 years. The remaining $3.6 million was allocated to the settlement and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Letters of Credit
In 2022, the Company entered into a $20 million uncommitted letter of credit facility, and concurrently with the execution of the Malaysia Purchase Agreement discussed in Note 15, a $16.5 million letter of credit was issued under the facility to backstop a bank guarantee for the same amount. The bank guarantee, to which the Company is not a party, serves as security for the building until the Company purchases the property. In 2023, additional letters of credit totaling $3.5 million were issued under this facility. The Company pays interest on outstanding borrowings and commitment fees on the maximum amount available to be drawn under the letter of credit at a rate of between 1.65% and 2.25%, depending on the Company’s credit rating. The letter of credit includes customary covenants, none of which are considered restrictive to the Company’s operations. In aggregate, the Company had letters of credit totaling $20.9 million and $18.6 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
