Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Legal Matters From time to time, the Company is involved in various claims and legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, as of December 31, 2024 the Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of any legal actions, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, liquidity, and capital resources. Future litigation may be necessary to defend the Company by determining the scope, enforceability and validity of third-party proprietary rights or to establish its own proprietary rights. The results of any current or future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors. SEC Investigation On June 28, 2024, the Company received a subpoena from the SEC requesting documents created during or relating to the period from January 1, 2021 through the date of the subpoena. The subpoena covers documents relating to, among other matters, the Company’s previously disclosed internal investigation into the use of Company resources by the Company’s former Chairman and CEO Marshall Chesrown; the Company’s review, consideration and approval, and the underlying terms of, related party transactions; employment, compensation, reimbursement and severance arrangements; and disclosures and communications to customers and investors regarding the company’s RideNow Cash Offer tool and certain of its technology. The Company is in the process of gathering and has commenced production of the requested documents. The Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome or timing of the SEC investigation, what, if any, actions may be taken by the SEC or the effect that such actions may have on the business, prospects, operating results and financial condition of the Company. Delaware Litigation As previously disclosed, the Company began an investigation of certain allegations surrounding Marshall Chesrown’s use of Company resources in 2023. On June 11, 2023, Mr. Chesrown delivered a resignation letter to the Board in his capacity as CEO (the “CEO Resignation Letter”) and on July 7, 2023, Mr. Chesrown delivered a resignation letter to the Board in his capacity as a member of the Board of Directors (the “Board Resignation Letter” and together with the CEO Resignation Letter, the “Resignation Letters”). In the CEO Resignation Letter, Mr. Chesrown indicated that he was resigning for “good reason” under his employment agreement and described his disagreement with several recent corporate governance, disclosure and other actions taken by the Company, the Board and certain of its members. In the Board Resignation Letter, Mr. Chesrown further detailed his disagreement with actions taken by the Company, the Board and certain of its members and indicated his intent to pursue legal claims. The Company disagrees with the characterization of the allegations and assertions described in the Resignation Letters. The Company and Mr. Chesrown conducted a pre-suit mediation in October 2023, as required in his employment agreement, but did not resolve the matter. On March 13, 2024, Mr. Chesrown filed suit against the Company in Delaware Superior Court for the claims asserted in his Resignation Letters. Mr. Chesrown is seeking a declaratory judgment that he resigned with good reason, termination compensation damages in the amount of $7.5 million, general and reputational damages in the amount of $50.0 million, punitive damages, attorney's fees and litigation costs. The parties are now engaged in the initial stages of discovery. The subject matter of the litigation overlaps with the investigation begun by the Company in 2023. As of the date of this filing, the Company has not decided what further actions, if any, may be taken with regard to the investigation allegations. We intend to defend the litigation claims vigorously; however, we can provide no assurance regarding the outcome of this matter. Letters of Credit We issue letters of credit to secure the Company’s various financial obligations, including floor plan financing arrangements and insurance policy deductibles and other claims. The total amount of outstanding letters of credit was $7.4 million. We do not believe that it is probable that any outstanding letters of credit will be drawn upon.
