Contingencies [Abstract] |
Contingencies | Note 15—Contingencies The Company is involved in various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. The Company previously reported charges incurred in 2014 for the write-down of inventory and provisions to accounts receivable associated with the October 6, 2014 bankruptcy filing of GT Advanced T echnologies (GTAT). The Company noted then that its actual loss could differ from th e amounts originally recorded. I n October 2016, the Company learned that the trustee in the GTAT bankruptcy proceedings fil ed adversary actions against three of the Company’s subsidiaries (for which service of process was only recently completed) to recover payment s aggregating approximately $4.4 million, which were received by the subsidiaries during the 90 days preceding GTAT’s bankruptcy filing, on the premise that such p ayments were made during the preference period and therefore may be avoidable as preferential or constructively fraudulent, among other theories. These adversary actions are subject to mandatory mediation procedures by order of the bankruptcy court. The Co mpany believes that the payments were made in the ordinary course of business, and, although the outcome cannot be predicted at this time, the Company intends to vigorously defend against the claims.
