Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Lease Commitments The Company has entered into various non-cancelable operating lease agreements for certain of its office space. See “Note 8 — Leases” for further discussion. Legal Matters From time to time, the Company may be subject to potential liability relating to the ownership and operations of the Company’s properties. Accruals are recorded when the outcome is probable and can be reasonably estimated. There are various claims and lawsuits arising in the normal course of business pending against the Company, some of which seek damages and other relief which, if granted, may require future cash expenditures. In addition, from time to time the Company receives inquiries and audit requests from various government agencies and fully cooperates with these requests. The Company does not believe that it is reasonably possible that the resolution of these matters would result in any liability that would materially affect the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition except as noted below. On October 7, 2022 and November 22, 2022, purported securities class action lawsuits were filed in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona, captioned Alich v. Opendoor Technologies Inc., et al. (Case No. 2:22-cv-01717-JFM) (“Alich”) and Oakland County Voluntary Employee’s Beneficiary Association, et al. v. Opendoor Technologies Inc., et al. (Case No. 2:22-cv-01987-GMS) (“Oakland County”), respectively. The lawsuits were consolidated into a single action, captioned In re Opendoor Technologies Inc. Securities Litigation (Case No. 2:22-CV-01717-MTL). The consolidated amended complaint names as defendants the Company, Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings Corp. II (SCH"), certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors and the underwriters of a securities offering the Company made in February 2021. The complaint alleges that the Company and certain officers violated Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and SEC Rule 10b-5, and that the Company, SCH, certain officers and directors and the underwriters violated Section 11 of the Securities Act, in each case by making materially false or misleading statements related to the effectiveness of the Company’s pricing algorithm. The plaintiffs also allege that certain defendants violated Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Section 15 of the Securities Act, respectively, which provide for control person liability. The complaint asserts claims on behalf of all persons and entities that purchased, or otherwise acquired, Company common stock between December 21, 2020 and November 3, 2022 or pursuant to offering documents issued in connection with our business combination with SCH and the secondary public offering conducted by the Company in February 2021. The plaintiffs seek class certification, an award of unspecified compensatory damages, an award of interest and reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and expert fees, and other and further relief as the court may deem just and proper. The defendants filed motions to dismiss on June 30, 2023, which are pending before the court. We believe that the allegations in the complaint are without merit and we intend to vigorously defend ourselves in the matter. On March 1, 2023 and March 15, 2023, shareholder derivative lawsuits were filed in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona, captioned Carlson v. Rice, et al. (Case No. 2:23-cv-00367-GMS) and Van Dorn v. Wu, et al. (Case No. 2:23-cv-00455-DMF), respectively, which were subsequently consolidated into a single action, captioned Carlson v. Rice (Case No. 2:23-CV-00367-GMS). Plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed the matter on June 22, 2023, and thereafter re-filed complaints in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, captioned Carlson v. Rice, et al. (Case No. 2023-0642) and Van Dorn v. Rice, et al. (Case No. 2023-0643). The cases have been consolidated into a single action, captioned Opendoor Technologies Inc. Stockholder Derivative Litigation (Case No. 2023-0642). On June 29, 2023, a shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, captioned Juul v. Wu, et al. (Case No. 1:23-cv-00705-UNA). The complaints in each matter are based on the same facts and circumstances as In re Opendoor Technologies Inc. Securities Litigation and name certain officers and directors of the Company as defendants. The defendants are alleged to have violated Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and SEC Rule 10b-5 and breached fiduciary duties. The plaintiffs seek to maintain the derivative actions on behalf of the Company, an award of unspecified compensatory damages, an order directing the Company to reform its corporate governance and internal procedures, restitutionary relief, an award of interest and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and expert fees, and other and further relief as the court may deem just and proper. These derivative actions have been stayed pending further developments in In re Opendoor Technologies Inc. Securities Litigation. On October 13, 2023, a shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, captioned Woods, et al. v. Bain, et al. (Case No. 1:23-cv-01158-UNA). The complaint is based on facts and circumstances related to In re Opendoor Technologies Inc. Securities Litigation. The plaintiffs have brought claims against certain current and former directors and officers of the Company for breach of fiduciary duty, contribution under Sections 10(b) and 21D of the Exchange Act, SEC Rule 10b-5, violations of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, and SEC Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder. The plaintiffs seek to maintain the derivative action on behalf of the Company, an award of unspecified compensatory damages, an order directing one of the defendants to disgorge monies allegedly obtained from certain Company stock sale, equitable relief, an award of interest and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and expert fees, and other and further relief as the court may deem just and proper. This derivative action has been stayed pending further developments in In re Opendoor Technologies Inc. Securities Litigation. On October 18, 2023, a shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona, captioned Gera v. Palihapitiya, et al. (Case No. 2:23-cv-02164-SMB). The complaint is based on facts and circumstances related to In re Opendoor Technologies Inc. Securities Litigation, and names as defendants certain current and former officers and directors of the Company and SCH Sponsor II LLC. The complaint alleges that the defendants violated Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, and SEC Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder. The plaintiff seeks to maintain the derivative action on behalf of the Company, an award of unspecified compensatory damages, an order directing the Company to reform certain corporate governance and internal procedures, restitution, an award of cost and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and expert fees, and other and further relief as the court may deem just and proper.
