Loss Contingency [Abstract] |
Contingencies |
9. | Contingencies
We are subject to various claims and contingencies related to legal proceedings. Due to their nature, such legal proceedings involve inherent uncertainties including, but not limited to, court rulings, negotiations between affected parties and governmental actions. Management assesses the probability of loss for such contingencies and accrues a liability and/or discloses the relevant circumstances, as appropriate. On July 25, 2019, Tap Advisors LLC (“Tap”) filed suit against the Company in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, alleging the Company breached an agreement made in 2017, whereby Tap would provide certain financial advisory services to the Company. Tap seeks to recover fees of approximately $3.7 million (plus attorneys’ fees) that allegedly have not been paid by the Company related to the sale of its cell therapy business in April 2019. The Company believes the complaint is without merit and plans to vigorously defend itself in this matter. At June 30, 2019, the probable outcome of this litigation cannot be determined.
