Employee Retention
In connection with the Company’s turnaround efforts, and to retain and encourage employees to assist the Company with its efforts, during 2014 the Company’s compensation committee approved an all-employee retention bonus plan based on the achievement of certain financial and cash targets. The financial metrics had to be met for two consecutive quarter periods during the three quarter periods ending March 31, 2015. At June 30, 2015, the Company accrued $10.7 million, based on the Company's financial results for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, which is included in “Accrued expenses” in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The bonus expense was recognized over the requisite service period, $5.2 million of which was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2015. In July 2015, the Company paid U.S. employees their bonuses with 2,155,193 net shares of the Company’s common stock. Non-U.S. employees will receive cash bonus payments.
Legal
The Company is, from time to time, party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. For example, the Company is currently named as a defendant or co-defendant in some patent infringement lawsuits in the U.S. and is indirectly participating in other U.S. patent infringement actions pursuant to its contractual indemnification obligations to certain customers. Based on an evaluation of these matters and discussions with the Company’s intellectual property litigation counsel, the Company currently believes that liabilities arising from or sums paid in settlement of these existing matters, if any, would not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
Indemnification
In the normal course of business, the Company periodically enters into agreements that require the Company to indemnify and defend its customers for, among other things, claims alleging that the Company’s products infringe third-party patents or other intellectual property rights. The Company’s maximum exposure under these indemnification provisions cannot be estimated but the Company does not believe that there are any matters individually or collectively that would have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operation or cash flows.
