Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | Note N – Commitments and Contingencies Contingencies in the Normal Course of Business Under certain contracts with the U.S. government and certain governmental entities, contract costs, including indirect costs, are subject to audit by and adjustment through negotiation with governmental representatives. Revenue is recorded in amounts expected to be realized on final settlement of any such audits. Legal Proceedings The Company is subject to litigation, claims, investigations and audits arising from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Although legal proceedings are inherently unpredictable, the Company believes that it has valid defenses with respect to any matters currently pending against it and intends to defend itself vigorously. Excluding pending matters disclosed below, the outcome of these matters, individually and in the aggregate, is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company recognizes legal expenses when incurred as selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). On November 5, 2021, the Company was notified of potential accounting issues with a business unit by an employee in connection with his resignation. After completing an investigation, the Audit Committee concluded that the potential issues raised by the former employee did not require a restatement or adjustment of the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements relating to any prior periods. The Company self-reported this matter to the SEC on November 8, 2021 and on August 1, 2023, the SEC notified the Company’s counsel that this matter is closed. On December 17, 2021, the Company, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Peter Cannito, and then current, but now former Chief Financial Officer, William Read, were named as defendants in a putative class action complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. That litigation is captioned Lemen v. Redwire Corp. et al., Case No. 3:21-cv-01254-TJC-PDB (M.D. Fla.). On March 7, 2022, the Court appointed a lead plaintiff. On June 17, 2022, the lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint. In the amended complaint, the lead plaintiff alleges that the Company and certain of its directors and officers made misleading statements and/or failed to disclose material facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects, allegedly in violation of Section 10(b) (and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder) and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. As relief, the plaintiffs are seeking, among other things, compensatory damages. The defendants believe the allegations are without merit and intend to defend the suit vigorously. On August 16, 2022, the defendants moved to dismiss the complaint in its entirety, and such motion was denied by the Court on March 22, 2023. A reasonable estimate of the amount of any possible loss or range of loss cannot be made at this time. On May 25, 2022, a plaintiff commenced derivative litigation in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware on behalf of the Company against Peter Cannito, Les Daniels, Reggie Brothers, Joanne Isham, Kirk Konert, Jonathan Baliff, and John S. Bolton. That litigation is captioned Yingling v. Cannito, et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-00684-MN (D. Del.). The complaint’s allegations are similar to those of the class action lawsuit filed in December 2021, namely, that statements about Redwire’s business and operations were misleading due to alleged material weaknesses in the Company’s financial reporting internal controls. The plaintiff alleges the defendants violated Section 10(b) (and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder) and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, breached their fiduciary duty by allowing misleading disclosures to be made, and caused the Company to overpay compensation and bonuses tied to the Company’s financial performance. As relief, the plaintiffs are seeking, among other things, compensatory and punitive damages. This litigation has been stayed until the earlier of: (i) fifteen (15) days following the issuance of a decision resolving a motion for summary judgment in or public disclosure of a potential settlement of the class action lawsuit filed on December 17, 2021, or (ii) twenty (20) days following notice by either party of another pending derivative action and where the continuance of such stay may or will prejudice the noticing party’s rights. The defendants believe the allegations are without merit and intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously. However, a reasonable estimate of the amount of any possible loss or range of loss cannot be made at this time. On January 23, 2023, the Company received a Civil Investigative Demand from the antitrust division of the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) regarding potential violations of Section 1 of the Sherman Act and Section 8 of the Clayton Act. On September 29, 2023, the DOJ notified the Company’s counsel that this matter is closed. Business Combinations The Company has acquired and plans to continue to acquire businesses with prior operating histories. These acquisitions may have unknown or contingent liabilities, which the Company may become responsible for and could have a material impact on the Company’s future operating results and cash flows. In addition, the Company may incur acquisition costs, regardless of whether or not the acquisition is ultimately completed, which may be material to future periods. Commitments During the year-ended December 31, 2023, the Company entered into an economic development agreement to serve as the anchor tenant at the Novaparke Innovation & Technology Campus in Floyd County, Indiana. In accordance with the agreement, the Company has committed to enter into a lease for a 30,000 square foot property upon completion of construction. Construction is not anticipated to be complete until fiscal year 2025, at which time the Company will enter into the associated lease agreement.
