Legal Proceedings

On March 4, 2020, Vytacera Bio, LLC (“Vytacera”) filed a patent infringement lawsuit against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. The lawsuit alleged that the Company's use, offers to sell, and/or sales of the PROBODY® technology platform for basic research applications constituted infringement. The complaint sought unspecified monetary damages. In September 2022, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the case. On October 17, 2024, the Court dismissed the case and on October 28, 2024, the Court ordered the case to be closed.

Indemnifications

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into agreements that may include indemnification provisions. Pursuant to such agreements, the Company may indemnify, hold harmless and defend an indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party. Some of the provisions will limit losses to those arising from third party actions. In some cases, the indemnification will continue after the termination of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these provisions is not determinable. The Company has never incurred material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification provisions. The Company has also entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and officers that may require the Company to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware corporate law. The Company currently has directors’ and officers’ insurance.
