Commitments and Contingencies	18. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Legal Matters From time to time, the Company is subject to or otherwise involved in various lawsuits, claims, investigations and legal proceedings that arise out of or are incidental to the conduct of our business (collectively, “Legal Matters”), including those relating to employment matters, patent rights, regulatory compliance matters, stockholder claims, and contractual and other commercial disputes. Such Legal Matters, even if not meritorious, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. Additionally, an unfavorable outcome in a legal matter, including in a patent dispute, could require the Company to pay damages, entitle claimants to other relief, such as royalties, or could prevent the Company from selling some of its products in certain jurisdictions. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of or estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any, associated with such legal matters. DPLTA Exit and Recurring Compensation Costs Pursuant to the terms of the DPLTA, each Adtran Networks shareholder (other than the Company) has received an offer to elect either (1) to remain an Adtran Networks shareholder and receive from us an Annual Recurring Compensation payment, or (2) to receive Exit Compensation plus guaranteed interest. The guaranteed interest under the Exit Compensation is calculated from the effective date of the DPLTA to the date the shares are tendered, less any Annual Recurring Compensation paid. The guaranteed interest rate is 5.0% plus a variable component (according to the German Civil Code) that was 3.62% as of March 31, 2024. Assuming all the minority holders of currently outstanding Adtran Networks shares were to elect the second option, we would be obligated to make aggregate Exit Compensation payments, including guaranteed interest, of approximately €338.9 million or approximately $365.7 million, based on an exchange rate as of March 31, 2024 and reflecting interest accrued through March 31, 2024 during the pendency of the appraisal proceedings discussed below. Shareholders electing the first option of Annual Recurring Compensation may later elect the second option. The opportunity for outside Adtran Networks shareholders to tender Adtran Networks shares in exchange for Exit Compensation had been scheduled to expire on March 16, 2023. However, due to the appraisal proceedings that have been initiated in accordance with applicable German law, this time period for tendering shares has been extended pursuant to the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) and will end two months after the date on which a final decision in such appraisal proceedings has been published in the Federal Gazette (Bundesanzeiger). Our obligation to pay Annual Recurring Compensation under the DPLTA is a continuing payment obligation, which will amount to approximately €10.6 million or $11.5 million (based on the current exchange rate) per year assuming none of the minority Adtran Networks shareholders were to elect Exit Compensation. The foregoing amounts do not reflect any potential increase in payment obligations that we may have depending on the outcome of ongoing appraisal proceedings in Germany. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we accrued $2.9 million and $2.8 million, respectively, in Annual Recurring Compensation, which was reflected as an increase to retained deficit. With respect to the year ended December 31, 2023, we are obligated to pay $11.5 million in Annual Recurring Compensation on the third banking day following the 2024 ordinary general shareholders’ meeting of Adtran Networks, which is expected to occur on June 28, 2024 (but in any event within eight months following December 31, 2023). For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, less than one thousand and 62 thousand shares, respectively, of Adtran Networks stock was tendered to the Company and Exit Compensation payments of approximately €4 thousand and €1.1 million, respectively, or approximately $5 thousand and $1.2 million based on an exchange rate as of March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, were paid to Adtran Networks shareholders. Performance Bonds Certain contracts, customers and jurisdictions in which we do business require us to provide various guarantees of performance such as bid bonds, performance bonds and customs bonds. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had commitments related to these bonds totaling $10.6 million and $10.8 million, respectively, which expire at various dates through April 2031. In general, we would only be liable for the amount of these guarantees in the event of default under each contract, the probability of which we believe is remote. Purchase Obligations The Company purchases components from a variety of suppliers and use contract manufacturers to provide manufacturing services for our products. Our inventory purchase obligations are for short-term product manufacturing requirements, as well as for commitments to suppliers to secure manufacturing capacity. Certain of our inventory purchase obligations with contract manufacturers and suppliers relate to arrangements to secure supply and pricing for certain product components for multi-year periods. As of March 31, 2024, purchase obligations totaled $238.0 million.
