Indemnification Obligations

The Company enters into agreements with customers, partners, lenders, consultants, lessors, contractors, sales representatives and parties to certain transactions in the ordinary course of the Company’s business. These agreements may require the Company to indemnify the other party against third party claims alleging that its product infringes a patent or copyright. Certain of these agreements require the Company to indemnify the other party against losses arising from: a breach of representations or covenants, claims relating to property damage, personal injury or acts or omissions of the Company, its employees, agents or representatives. The Company has also agreed to indemnify the directors and certain of the officers and employees in accordance with the by-laws of the Company. These indemnification provisions will vary based upon the nature and terms of the agreements. In many cases, these indemnification provisions do not contain limits on the Company’s liability, and the occurrence of contingent events that will trigger payment under these indemnities is difficult to predict. As a result, the Company cannot estimate its potential liability under these indemnities. The Company believes that the likelihood of conditions arising that would trigger these indemnities is remote and, historically, the Company had not made any significant payment under such indemnification provisions. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any liabilities relating to these agreements. In certain cases, the Company has recourse against third parties with respect to the aforesaid indemnities, and the Company believes it maintains adequate levels of insurance coverage to protect the Company with respect to potential claims arising from such agreements.

Other

The Company is subject to various state sales and use tax audits and believes its current exposure could result in an estimated liability of up to $500. The Company did not record such estimated liability as of December 31, 2024, as it was not determined to be probable.

Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. The Company is not currently a party to any litigation the outcome of which, if determined adversely to it, would individually or in the aggregate be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on its business, operating results, cash flows or financial condition.

In July 2017, the Company received an initial civil investigative demand (“CID”) from the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) pursuant to the federal False Claims Act investigating whether the Company and others may have violated the False Claims Act by marketing tests on devices that use photoplethysmography technology as reimbursable by Medicare in alleged contravention of applicable laws and regulations. The Company cooperated with the investigation, along with subsequent CIDs received in February 2019, December 2021, April 2022 and April 2023 addressed to the Company or individual current or former employees related to the same investigation. In September

2024, DOJ shared certain information to which the Company responded in January and February 2025. On February 6, 2025, DOJ asked if the Company wished to engage in settlement discussions to resolve any potential claims by February 11, 2025 and if so that the Company make a settlement offer by such deadline. Prior to February 6, 2025, DOJ had not stated an intention to pursue a claim of wrongdoing against the Company. On February 11, 2025, the Company began initial settlement discussions with DOJ, but ceased initial discussions on that date. Accordingly, there is a risk that DOJ will file a complaint or complaint in intervention in a civil False Claims Act lawsuit seeking damages. The Company does not believe the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in any such action.
