Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | 12. Commitments and Contingencies Legal Proceedings On September 23, 2015, a jury verdict was returned against ACI Worldwide Corp. (“ACI Corp.”), a subsidiary of the Company, for $43.8 million in connection with counterclaims brought by Baldwin Hackett & Meeks, Inc. (“BHMI”) in the District Court of Douglas County, Nebraska. On September 21, 2012, ACI Corp. had sued BHMI for misappropriation of ACI Corp.’s trade secrets. The jury found that ACI Corp. had not met its burden of proof regarding these claims. On March 6, 2013, BHMI asserted counterclaims for breach of a non-disclosure agreement, tortious interference and violation of the Nebraska anti-monopoly statute, all of which were alleged to arise out of ACI Corp.’s filing of its lawsuit. On September 23, 2015, the jury found for BHMI on its counterclaims and awarded $43.8 million in damages. On January 5, 2016, the court entered a judgment against ACI Corp. for $43.8 million for damages and $2.7 million for attorney fees and costs. ACI Corp. disagreed with the verdicts and judgment, and after the trial court denied ACI Corp.’s post-judgment motions, on March 31, 2016, ACI Corp. perfected an appeal of the dismissal of its claims against BHMI and the judgment in favor of BHMI on its counterclaims, and oral arguments were held before the Nebraska Supreme Court on March 3, 2017. On June 9, 2017, the Nebraska Supreme Court affirmed the District Court judgment. The Company recorded expense of $48.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, of which $46.7 million is included in general and administrative expense and $1.4 million in interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company paid the judgment, including interest, during the three months ended September 30, 2017. Indemnities Under certain customer contracts, the Company indemnifies customers for certain matters including third party claims of intellectual property infringement relating to the use of our products. Our maximum potential exposure under indemnification arrangements can range from a specified dollar amount to an unlimited amount, depending on the nature of the transactions and the agreements. The Company has recorded an accrual for estimated losses for demands for indemnification that have been tendered by certain customers. The Company does not have any reason to believe that we will be required to make any material payments under these indemnity provisions in excess of the balance accrued at September 30, 2017.
