10. Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Leases

There have been no material changes to the Company’s leases during the three months ended March 31, 2025. For additional information, please read Note 12 Leases, to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

401(k) Savings Plan

The Company has a defined-contribution savings plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. This plan covers substantially all employees who meet minimum age and service requirements and allows participants to defer a portion of their compensation on a pre-tax basis. Company contributions to the plan may be made at the discretion of the board of directors. Effective January 1, 2023, the Company instituted an employer matching program for the plan pursuant to which the Company will match 100% of the first 3% of each participating employee’s eligible compensation contributed to the plan and 50% of up to an additional 2% each participating employee’s eligible compensation contributed to the plan. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded expense of $1.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively, related to these matching contributions.

Indemnification Agreements

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may provide indemnification of varying scope and terms to customers, 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, negligence or willful misconduct, or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with members of its board of directors that will require the Company, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or services as directors or officers.

The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is, in many cases, unlimited. To date, the Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnifications. The Company is not currently aware of any indemnification claims and had not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in its condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Unconditional Purchase Commitment

In January 2021, the Company entered into an unconditional $9.5 million purchase commitment, in the ordinary course of business, for goods with specified annual minimum quantities to be purchased through December 2029. The contract is not cancellable without penalty. The remaining purchase commitment as of March 31, 2025 was $5.0 million.

Legal Proceedings

On February 14, 2025, a class action captioned Jewik v. TransMedics Group, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:25-cv-10385, was filed against the Company and certain of its current and former officers in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The complaint purports to assert claims pursuant to Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, on behalf of a putative class of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s shares between February 28, 2023 and January 10, 2025 (the “Class Period”). Plaintiff seeks to recover unspecified damages allegedly caused by purported misstatements and omissions contained in certain risk disclosures set forth in the Company’s 2022 and 2023 Annual Reports. The complaint alleges the disclosures at issue were false or misleading, because they failed to describe what plaintiff alleges were coercive business and marketing tactics, anticompetitive conduct and fraudulent billing activities on the part of the Company. The complaint claims these alleged statements and omissions operated to artificially inflate the price paid for the Company’s common stock during the Class Period. On April 2, 2025, another purported stockholder filed a putative class action lawsuit against the Company and certain of its current and former officers, also in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts (Collins v. TransMedics Group, Inc., et al., No. Case 1:25-cv-10778). The complaint alleges claims substantially similar to those alleged in the Jewik action and also seeks unspecified damages. On April 15, 2025, several purported stockholders filed motions seeking to consolidate the Jewik and Collins actions and seeking appointment as lead plaintiff in the consolidated action. Those motions remain pending.

At each reporting date, the Company evaluates whether or not a potential loss amount or a potential range of loss is probable and reasonably estimable under the provisions of the authoritative guidance that addresses accounting for contingencies. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of the class action litigation or reasonably estimate a range of possible losses. The Company expenses as incurred the costs related to such legal proceedings.
