Preliminary Court Approval of Derivative Class Action Litigation

Background

As previously disclosed, on June 15, August 21, and September 30, 2020, a series of shareholder derivative cases were filed against us (as nominal defendant) and certain of our directors (Marc S. Schessel, Charles K. Miller, Steven Wallitt and Robert Christie (the “Director Defendants”)) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, New York State Supreme Court and the Chancery Court in Delaware. Each of the lawsuits alleged that the Director Defendants named therein breached their fiduciary duties to the Company, including by misleading investors in connection with our April 13, 2020 press release with respect to the sale of COVID-19 rapid test kits, failing to correct false and misleading statements and failing to implement proper disclosure and internal controls.

Settlement Agreement

On December 24, 2021, the Company and the Director Defendants entered into a binding agreement with the shareholder derivative plaintiffs to settle the derivative litigation (the “Settlement”). Under the terms of this agreement, (i) the insurers for the Director Defendants will make a cash payment to legal counsel for the shareholder derivative Plaintiffs to cover their legal fees and (ii) the Company will adopt certain corporate governance reforms within 60 days of court approval of the settlement, in exchange for which all parties will be released from all claims related to the derivative class action litigation. This agreement provides that the parties will negotiate in good faith to enter into a definitive settlement agreement within thirty days, which agreement will be subject to court approval. On February 15, 2022, the Company and the Director Defendants entered into a stipulation of settlement (subject to Court approval) with the shareholder derivative plaintiffs to settle the Consolidated Derivative Action as well as another derivative action,

Preliminary Court Approval

On March 25, 2022, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Court”) preliminarily approved the Settlement resolving three shareholder derivative lawsuits involving the Company. In accordance with the Court’s Order Preliminarily Approving Settlement, the Company is issuing this Form 8-K and making disclosure of the Settlement and related documents to its shareholders. The terms of the Settlement are described in the Settlement documents which are filed as Exhibits to this Current Report on form 8-K.
