In 2003, the Brazilian tax authority filed a claim against the Company's inactive subsidiary in Brazil, SPC International Ltda, for the payment of taxes allegedly due from the subsidiary. After numerous hearings and appeals at various appellate levels in Brazil, the Supreme Court ruled against the subsidiary in final non-appealable decisions published in June 2017. As of June 30, 2021, the total amount of this claim, including interest, penalties and legal fees is approximately $ 6,836, of which approximately $ 776 is the principal. The Brazilian tax authorities initiated foreclosure proceedings against the subsidiary and certain of its former managers. The foreclosure proceedings against the former manager were cancelled by court in a final and not appealable decision issued in July 2017. While foreclosure and other collection proceedings are pending against the subsidiary, based on Brazilian external counsel’s opinion, the Company believes that the subsidiary has solid arguments to sustain its position that further collection proceedings and inclusion of any additional co-obligors in the tax foreclosure proceedings are barred due to the statute of limitations and that the foreclosure procedures cannot legally be redirected to other group entities and managers who were not initially cited in the foreclosure proceedings due to the passage of the statute of limitations. Accordingly, the Company believes that the chances that such redirection will lead to a loss recognition are remote.

In 2018, the Company’s subsidiary in Peru, won a government bid for two additional regional projects in the Amazonas and Ica regions in Peru for PRONATEL with a value of approximately $154,000. GMC Engineering Solutions and SATEL Comunicaciones y Datos, two of the three entities comprising the losing bidder consortium, applied to the superior court in Lima to cancel the bid and obtained a preliminary injunction against the award. The subsidiary was served as an interested third party in the proceeding and filed its objection and defenses. Following PRONATEL’s request, the Company's subsidiary continues to perform on these projects. Based on the advice of its legal counsel, the Company believes that the chances of success of plaintiffs in the proceeding seeking to cancel the bid are remote.

In addition, the Company is in the midst of different stages of audits and disputes with various tax authorities in different parts of the world. Further, the Company is the defendant in various other lawsuits, including employment-related litigation claims and may be subject to other legal proceedings in the normal course of its business. While the Company intends to defend the aforementioned matters vigorously, it believes that a loss in excess of its accrued liability with respect to these claims is not probable.
