NEXTGEN HEALTHCARE, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands, except shares and per share data)

(Unaudited)

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NextGen Healthcare, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). Each of the terms “we,” “us,” or “our” as used herein refers collectively to the Company, unless otherwise stated. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Basis of Presentation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2022 and for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022 have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of the Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X and therefore do not include all information and notes which would be presented were such condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results of operations to be expected for the full year.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. References to amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statement sections are in thousands, except shares and per share data, unless otherwise specified.

Use of Estimates. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and recording revenue and expenses during the period. Our estimates and assumptions consider the potential economic implications of COVID-19 and other events on our critical and significant accounting estimates.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements. Recently adopted accounting pronouncements are discussed below or in the notes, where applicable.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope (“ASU 2021-01”), which clarifies the application of certain optional expedients and exceptions. Topic 848 may be applied prospectively through December 31, 2022. The adoption of Topic 848 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements as our amended and restated revolving credit agreement contains provisions to accommodate the replacement of the existing LIBOR-based rate with a successor Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) based rate upon a triggering event.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity ("ASU 2020-06"), which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. We have applied the amendments in ASU 2020-06 for the accounting of the convertible senior notes issued on November 1, 2022 (see Note 10).

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2021-08”). Under current GAAP, an acquirer generally recognizes assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, including contract assets and contract liabilities arising from revenue contracts with customers and other similar contracts that are accounted for in accordance with ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), at fair value on the acquisition date. ASU 2021-08 requires acquiring entities to apply Topic 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination. ASU 2021-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in ASU 2021-08 should be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. We have elected to early adopt this guidance as of July 1, 2022 and have applied the amendments in ASU 2021-08 prospectively for the accounting of our acquisition of TSI Healthcare, LLC (see Note 6).

Recent Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted. We do not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting standards, if adopted, would have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

2. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Revenue Recognition and Performance Obligations

We generate revenue from sales of licensing rights and subscriptions to our software solutions, hardware and third-party software products, support and maintenance, managed services, transactional and data services, and other non-recurring services, including implementation, training, and consulting services. Our contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations that consist of various combinations of our software solutions and related services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations.

The total transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation within a contract based on estimated standalone selling prices. We generally determine standalone selling prices based on the prices charged to customers, except for certain software licenses that are based on the residual approach because their standalone selling prices are highly variable and certain maintenance customers that are based on substantive renewal rates. In instances where standalone selling price is not sufficiently observable, such as RCM services and software licenses included in our RCM arrangements, we estimate standalone selling price utilizing an expected cost plus a margin approach. When standalone selling prices are not observable, significant judgment is required in estimating the standalone selling price for each performance obligation.

Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

We exclude sales tax from the measurement of the transaction price and record revenue net of taxes collected from customers and subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

Recurring revenues consists of subscription services, support and maintenance, managed services, and transactional and data services. Software, hardware, and other non-recurring revenues consists of revenue from sales of software license and hardware and certain non-recurring services, such as implementation, training, and consulting performed for clients who use our products.

We generally recognize revenue for our most significant performance obligations as follows:

Subscription services. Performance obligations involving subscription services, which include annual libraries, are satisfied over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services throughout the contract period. Our subscription services primarily include our software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) based offerings, such as our electronic health records and practice management, mobile, patient portal, and population health management solutions. Our SaaS-based offerings may include multiple goods and services, such as providing access to our technology-based solutions together with our managed cloud hosting services. These offerings are concurrently delivered with the same pattern of transfer to our customers and are accounted for as a single performance obligation because the technology-based solutions and other goods and services included within our overall SaaS-based offerings are each individually not capable of being distinct as the customer receives benefits based on the combined offering. Our annual libraries primarily consist of providing stand-ready access to certain content, knowledgebase, databases, and SaaS-based educational tools, which are frequently updated to meet the most current standards and requirements, to be utilized in conjunction with our core solutions. We recognize revenue related to these subscription services, including annual libraries, ratably over the respective noncancelable contract term.

Support and maintenance. Performance obligations involving support and maintenance are satisfied over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the maintenance services provided. Our support and maintenance services may consist of separate performance obligations, such as unspecified upgrades or enhancements and technical support, which are considered stand-ready in nature and can be offered at various points during the service period. Since the efforts associated with

10


 

the combined support and maintenance services are rendered concurrently and provided evenly throughout the service period, we consider the series of support and maintenance services to be a single performance obligation. Therefore, we recognize revenue related to these services ratably over the respective noncancelable contract term.

Managed services. Managed services consist primarily of RCM and related services, but also includes our hosting services, which we refer to as managed cloud services, transcription services, and certain other recurring services. Performance obligations associated with RCM services are satisfied over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services executed throughout the contract period. The majority of service fees under our RCM arrangements are variable consideration contingent upon collections by our clients. We estimate the variable consideration which we expect to be entitled to over the noncancelable contract term associated with our RCM service arrangements. The estimate of variable consideration included in the transaction price typically involves estimating the amounts we will ultimately collect on behalf of our clients and the relative fee we charge that is generally calculated as a percentage of those collections. Inputs to these estimates include, but are not limited to, historical service fees and collections amounts, timing of historical collections relative to the timing of when claims are submitted by our clients to their respective payers, macroeconomic trends, and anticipated changes in the number of providers. Significant judgment is required when estimating the total transaction price based on the variable consideration. We may apply certain constraints when appropriate whereby we include in the transaction price estimated variable consideration only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Such estimates are assessed at the contract level. RCM and related services may not be rendered evenly over the contract period as the timing of services are based on customer collections, which may vary throughout the service period. We recognize revenue for RCM based on the amount of collections received throughout the contract term as it most closely depicts our efforts to transfer our service obligations to the customer. Our managed cloud services represent a single performance obligation to provide cloud hosting services to our customers and related revenue is recognized ratably over the respective noncancelable contract term. Performance obligations related to the transcription services and other recurring services are satisfied as the corresponding services are provided and revenue is recognized as such services are rendered.

Transactional and data services. Performance obligations related to transactional and data services, including Electronic Data Interchange (“EDI”), patient pay, and other transaction processing services are satisfied at the point in time the services are rendered or delivered. The transfer of control occurs when the transactional and data services are delivered and the customer receives the benefits from the services provided. Revenue is recognized as such services are rendered.

Beginning in fiscal year 2023, to align the presentation of disaggregated revenue with the manner in which management reviews such information, the presentation of disaggregated revenues by major revenue categories was revised to reclassify revenues related to patient pay services and certain other services from the managed services category into the transactional and data services category, which replaced the prior EDI and data services category. The prior period presentation of revenues disaggregated by major revenue categories and by occurrence above has been reclassified to conform with current period presentation.

Software license and hardware. Software license and hardware are considered point-in-time performance obligations as control is transferred to customers upon the delivery of the software license and hardware. Our software licenses are considered functional licenses, and revenue recognition generally occurs on the date of contract execution as the customer is provided with immediate access to the license. We generally determine the amount of consideration allocated to the software license performance obligation using the residual approach, except for certain RCM arrangements where the amount allocated to the software license performance obligation is determined based on estimated relative standalone selling prices. For hardware, we recognize revenue upon transfer of such hardware or devices to the customer.

Other non-recurring services. Performance obligations related to other non-recurring services, including implementation, training, and consulting services, are generally satisfied as the corresponding services are provided. Once the services have been provided to the customer, the transfer of control has occurred. Therefore, we recognize revenue as such services are rendered.

Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations

As of December 31, 2022, the aggregate amount of transaction price related to remaining unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations over the respective noncancelable contract term was approximately $577,300, of which we expect to recognize approximately 9% as services are rendered or goods are delivered, 52% over the next 12 months, and the remainder thereafter.

As of December 31, 2021, the aggregate amount of transaction price related to remaining unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations over the respective noncancelable contract term was approximately $563,000, of which we expect to recognize approximately 10% as services are rendered or goods are delivered, 51% over the next 12 months, and the remainder thereafter.

Contract Balances

Contract balances result from the timing differences between our revenue recognition, invoicing, and cash collections. Such contract balances include accounts receivables, contract assets and liabilities, and other customer deposits and liabilities balances. Accounts receivables include invoiced amounts where the right to receive payment is unconditional and only subject to the passage

11


 

of time. Contract assets, consisting of unbilled receivables, include amounts where revenue recognized exceeds the amount invoiced to the customer and the right to payment is not solely subject to the passage of time. Contract assets are generally associated with our sales of software licenses, but may also be associated with other performance obligations such as subscription services, support and maintenance, annual libraries, and professional services, where control has been transferred to our customers but the associated payments are based on future customer collections (in the case of our RCM service arrangements) or based on future milestone payment due dates. In such instances, the revenue recognized may exceed the amount invoiced to the customer and such balances are included in contract assets since our right to receive payment is not unconditional, but rather is conditional upon customer collections or the continued functionality of the software and our ongoing support and maintenance obligations. Contract liabilities consist mainly of fees invoiced or paid by our clients for which the associated services have not been performed and revenues have not been recognized. Contract assets and contract liabilities are reported in a net position on an individual contract basis at the end of each reporting period. Contract assets are classified as current or long-term on our condensed consolidated balance sheets based on the timing of when we expect to complete the related performance obligations and invoice the customer. Contract liabilities are classified as current on our condensed consolidated balance sheets since the revenue recognition associated with the related customer payments and invoicing is expected to occur within the next twelve months.

During the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized $17,510 and $17,672, respectively, of revenues that were included in the contract liability balance or invoiced to customers since the beginning of the corresponding periods. During the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized $52,755 and $53,060, respectively, of revenues that were included in the contract liability balance or invoiced to customers since the beginning of the corresponding periods.

Our contracts with customers do not include any major financing components.

Costs to Obtain or Fulfill a Contract

We capitalize all incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer to the extent that such costs are directly related to a contract and expected to be recoverable. Our sales commissions and related sales incentives are considered incremental costs requiring capitalization. Capitalized contract costs are amortized to expense utilizing a method that is consistent with the transfer of the related goods or services to the customer. The amortization period ranges from less than one year up to five years, based on the period over which the related goods and services are transferred, including consideration of the expected customer renewals and the related useful lives of the products.

Capitalized commissions costs were $35,546 as of December 31, 2022, of which $12,536 is classified as current and included as prepaid expenses and other current assets and $23,010 is classified as long-term and included within other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, based on the expected timing of expense recognition. During the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized $3,718 and $3,134, respectively, of commissions expense. During the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized $10,839 and $8,694, respectively, of commissions expense. Commissions expense primarily relates to the amortization of capitalized commissions costs, which is included as a selling, general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of net income and comprehensive income.

3. Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable includes invoiced amounts where the right to receive payment is unconditional and only subject to the passage of time. Allowance for credit losses are reported as a component of accounts receivable as summarized below:

(3,600

)

As of December 31, 2022, the contingent consideration liability balance related to the acquisition of TSI Healthcare, LLC (See Note 6) was $3,600, which reflects a $100 fair value adjustment that was recorded subsequent to the acquisition of TSI Healthcare, LLC on November 30, 2022. The categorization of the framework used to measure fair value of the contingent consideration liability are within the Level 3 valuation hierarchy due to the subjective nature of the unobservable inputs used. We assess the fair value of the contingent consideration liability on a recurring basis and any adjustments to fair value subsequent to the measurement period are reflected in the consolidated statements of net income and comprehensive income. Key assumptions included probability-adjusted achievement estimates of applicable revenue targets that were not observable in the market. The fair value adjustments to

contingent consideration liabilities are included as a component of selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of net income and comprehensive income.

There are no other assets or liabilities accounted for utilizing unobservable inputs (Level 3) or measured at fair value using significant other observable inputs (Level 2), as of December 31, 2022.

We believe that the fair value of our other financial assets and liabilities, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, and line of credit, approximate their respective carrying values due to their nominal credit risk.

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements

We have certain assets, including goodwill and other intangible assets, which are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and are adjusted to fair value only if an impairment charge is recognized. The categorization of the framework used to measure fair value of the assets is considered to be within the Level 3 valuation hierarchy due to the subjective nature of the unobservable inputs used.

5. Leases

Our leasing arrangements are reflected on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and liabilities pertaining to the rights and obligations created by the leased assets.

Right-of-use lease assets and corresponding lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. Since the interest rate implicit in our lease arrangements is not readily determinable, we determine an incremental borrowing rate for each lease based on the approximate interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar remaining terms and payments as of the lease commencement date to determine the present value of future lease payments. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. Currently, it is not reasonably certain that we will exercise those options and therefore, we utilize the initial, noncancelable, lease term to calculate the lease assets and corresponding liabilities for all our leases. We have certain insignificant short-term leases with an initial term of twelve months or less that are not recorded in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Operating right-of-use lease assets are classified as operating lease assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We determine whether an arrangement is a lease at inception and classify it as finance or operating. All of our existing material leases are classified as operating leases. Our leases do not contain any residual value guarantees.

Our lease agreements generally contain lease and non-lease components. Non-lease components primarily include payments for maintenance and utilities. We have applied the practical expedient to combine fixed payments for non-lease components with our lease payments for all of our leases and account for them together as a single lease component, which increases the amount of our lease assets and corresponding liabilities. Payments under our lease arrangements are primarily fixed, however, certain lease agreements contain variable payments, which are expensed as incurred and not included in the operating lease assets and liabilities.

Operating lease costs are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and included as a selling, general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of net income and comprehensive income. Total operating lease costs were $483 and $1,590 for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Total operating lease costs were $2,133 and $5,139 for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

We have operating lease agreements for our offices in the United States and India with lease periods expiring between 2022 and 2025. As of December 31, 2022, our operating leases had a weighted average remaining lease term of 2.2 years and a weighted average discount rate of 4.3%.

In the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022 we vacated portions of certain leased locations and recorded impairments of $247 and $1,576, respectively, to our right-of-use assets and certain related fixed assets associated with the vacated locations, or portions thereof, in St. Louis, Atlanta, Horsham, Hunt Valley, Chapel Hill and Bangalore based on projected sublease rental income and estimated sublease commencement dates and the remeasurement of our operating lease liability associated with the modification of our St. Louis lease and the early termination of our Horsham lease.

In the nine months ended December 31, 2021, we vacated portions of certain leased locations and recorded impairments of $1,577 to our right-of-use assets and certain related fixed assets associated with the vacated locations, or portions thereof, in Irvine and Fairport based on projected sublease rental income and estimated sublease commencement dates.

The impairment analyses were performed at the asset group level and the impairment charges were estimated by comparing the fair value of each asset group based on the expected cash flows to its respective book value. We determined the discount rate for each asset group based on the approximate interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar remaining terms and payments as of the impairment date. Significant judgment was required to estimate the fair value of each asset group and actual results could vary from the estimates, resulting in potential future adjustments to amounts previously recorded.

6. Business Combinations and Disposals

Acquisition of TSI Healthcare, LLC

On November 30, 2022, we completed the acquisition of TSI Healthcare, LLC ("TSI") pursuant to a securities purchase agreement dated November 30, 2022. TSI is based in Chapel Hill, NC and is a value-added reseller of NextGen Practice Management and Electronic Health Record software and solutions.

The preliminary purchase price was $50,449, subject to customary working capital and other adjustments. Additionally, under the provisions of the securities purchase agreement, we may pay up to an additional $22,000 of cash contingent consideration in the form of an earnout, subject to TSI achieving certain revenue targets through December 2024. The initial fair value of the contingent consideration was $3,700, which was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation in a risk-neutral framework. The preliminary purchase price of TSI is summarized in the table below. The acquisition of TSI was funded by cash flows from operations and cash proceeds from our convertible senior notes (see Note 10).

We accounted for the acquisition as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. The purchase price allocation of TSI is deemed to be preliminary. The preliminary purchase price was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The preliminary fair values of acquired assets and liabilities assumed represent management’s estimate of fair value and are subject to change as we finalize the valuation or if additional information about the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date become available. We expect to finalize the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable within the measurement period, but not later than one year following the acquisition date.

Identifiable intangible assets acquired from TSI include re-acquired rights, customer relationships, and data health database. The fair values of the acquired intangible assets were determined using the distributor method of the income approach for customer relationships and the multi-period excess earnings method of the income approach for re-acquired rights and the data health

database. The valuation model inputs required the application of significant judgment by management. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill primarily represents, among other factors, the value of synergies expected to be realized and the assemblage of all assets that enable us to create new client relationships, neither of which qualify as separate amortizable intangible assets. Goodwill arising from the acquisition of TSI is considered deductible for tax purposes.

The re-acquired rights intangible asset will be amortized over 4 years, the acquired customer relationships intangible assets will be amortized over 11 years, and the acquired data health database intangible asset will be amortized over 3 years. The weighted average amortization period for the acquired TSI intangible assets is 6.8 years.

We incurred $1,288 of acquisition related costs during the three months ended December 31, 2022, which are included as a component of selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of net income and comprehensive income. The results of operations of TSI have been included in our consolidated results of operations since the date of acquisition. The results of operations of TSI were not material to our consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022.

Disposition of Commercial Dental Assets

On July 26, 2022, we executed an Asset Purchase Agreement for the sale of certain non-strategic dental related (“Commercial Dental”) assets for $12,000, subject to certain holdback and other adjustments. Total consideration consisted of $11,253 in cash received and $600 additional cash expected to be received approximately twelve months from the close date. We recognized a preliminary gain on disposition of $10,296 in our condensed consolidated statement of net income and comprehensive income as a component of other income (expense). The gain was measured as the total consideration received and expected to be received, less net assets and liabilities included in the transaction, consisting primarily of previously capitalized dental related software development costs, and contract liabilities, less direct incremental transaction costs. The impact of the disposition was not significant and does not qualify for reporting as a discontinued operation because it did not represent a strategic shift that would have a major effect on our operations and financial results.

7. Goodwill

We test goodwill for impairment annually during our first fiscal quarter, referred to as the annual test date. We will also test for impairment between annual test dates if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate the carrying amount may be impaired. Impairment testing for goodwill is performed at a reporting-unit level, which is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment (referred to as a component). We operate as one segment and have a single reporting unit. The measures evaluated by our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), consisting of the Chief Executive Officer, to assess company performance and make decisions about the allocation of resources include consolidated revenue and consolidated operating results.

We have not identified any events or circumstances as of December 31, 2022 that would require an interim goodwill impairment test.

We do not amortize goodwill as it has been determined to have an indefinite useful life. The carrying amount of goodwill as of December 31, 2022 was $321,284 and as of March 31, 2022 was 267,212.

10. Debt

Convertible Senior Notes

On November 1, 2022, we issued $275,000 in aggregate principal amount of 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (“Notes”). The Notes were issued pursuant to, and are governed by, an indenture, dated as of November 1, 2022 (“Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee. Net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes were approximately $266,517, after deducting issuance costs totaling $8,483.

The Notes will accrue interest at a rate of 3.75% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on May 15, 2023. The Notes will mature on November 15, 2027, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted.

Noteholders may convert their notes at their option only in the following circumstances:

during any calendar quarter (and only during such calendar quarter) commencing after the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2022, if the last reported sale price per share of our common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter;
during the five consecutive business days immediately after any 10 consecutive trading day period (such 10 consecutive trading day period, the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1 principal amount of notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of our common stock on such trading day and the conversion rate on such trading day;
upon the occurrence of certain corporate events or distributions on our common stock, as described in the Indenture;
if we call such notes for redemption; and
at any time from, and including, August 16, 2027 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date.

 

We will settle conversions by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash and, if applicable, shares of common stock, at our election, based on the applicable conversion rate(s). However, upon conversion of any Notes, the conversion value, which will be determined over an observation period consisting of 60 trading days, will be paid in cash up to at least the principal amount of the Notes being

18


 

converted. The initial conversion rate is 38.9454 shares of common stock per $1 principal amount of Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $25.68 per share of common stock. The conversion rate and conversion price will be subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events. In addition, if certain corporate events that constitute a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Indenture) occur, then the conversion rate will, in certain circumstances, be increased for a specified period of time. The customary make-whole adjustments were generally designed in a manner such that the additional number of shares is consistent with the lost time value of the conversion option. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event will the conversion rate be increased to a number that exceeds 52.5762 shares of our common stock per $1 principal amount of Notes.

 

The Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations described below), at our option at any time, and from time to time, on or after November 20, 2025, and before the 61st scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, but only if the last reported sale price per share of our common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (i) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date we send the related redemption notice; and (ii) the trading day immediately before the date we send such notice. However, we may not redeem less than all of the outstanding Notes unless at least $100,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes are outstanding and not called for redemption as of the time we send the related redemption notice. The redemption price will be a cash amount equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. In addition, calling any Note for redemption will constitute a Make-Whole Fundamental Change with respect to that Note, in which case the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of that Note will be increased in certain circumstances if it is converted with a conversion date that is on or after the date we send the related redemption notice and on or before the second business day immediately before the related redemption date. If we elect to redeem less than all of the outstanding Notes, then the redemption will not constitute a make-whole fundamental change with respect to the Notes not called for redemption, and holders of the Notes not called for redemption will not be entitled to an increased conversion rate for such Notes on account of the redemption.

 

If certain corporate events that constitute a “Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Indenture) occur, then, subject to certain exceptions, noteholders may require us to repurchase their Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. The definition of Fundamental Change includes certain business combination transactions involving the Company and certain de-listing events with respect to our common stock.

 

The Notes will be our senior, unsecured obligations and will be (i) equal in right of payment with our existing and future senior, unsecured indebtedness; (ii) senior in right of payment to our existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated to the Notes; (iii) effectively subordinated to our existing and future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that indebtedness; and (iv) structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables.

The Notes are recorded net of issuance costs as noncurrent liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The net carrying value of the Notes as of December 31, 2022 is as follows:

The debt issuance costs of the Notes are being amortized using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate of the Notes is 4.48%. Interest expense related to the Notes was $1,604 for the three months ended December 31, 2022. Amortization of debt issuance costs related to the Notes was $73 for the three months ended December 31, 2022.

Line of Credit

On March 12, 2021, we entered into a $300,000 second amended and restated revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), U.S. Bank National Association and Bank of the West, as co-syndication agents, and certain other agents and lenders. The Credit Agreement replaces our prior $300,000 amended and restated revolving credit agreement, originally entered into on January 4, 2016 and amended on March 29, 2018. The Credit Agreement provides a subfacility of up to $10,000 for letters of credit and a subfacility of up to $10,000 for swing-line loans. The Credit Agreement also provides us with the ability to obtain up to $150,000 in the aggregate of additional revolving credit commitments and/or term loans thereunder (i.e., in excess of $300,000) upon satisfaction of certain conditions, including receipt of commitments from new or existing lenders to provide such additional revolving credit commitments and/or term loans. The Credit Agreement contains provisions to accommodate the replacement of the existing LIBOR-based rate with a SOFR based rate upon a triggering event.

On May 17, 2022, we entered into that certain Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”) with the Administrative Agent and the lenders party thereto to amend the existing Credit Agreement. The First Amendment modifies the Credit Agreement to increase our net leverage ratio maintenance covenant from 3.75x to 4.00x and increase the related adjusted

19


 

covenant period option (available upon the consummation of certain acquisitions) from 4.25x to 4.75x, in each case, commencing with the reporting period ending June 30, 2022. The First Amendment also makes certain updates to the conditions restricting the making of certain dividends, distributions, and other restricted payments by the Company so that such conditions are based on the our net leverage ratio (as set forth in the Credit Agreement) rather than our total leverage ratio, to increase the dollar cap for such restricted payments that can be made without satisfying leverage conditions from $11,500 to $25,000, and to increase flexibility in cash netting calculations in connection with the making of restricted payments.

 

On October 27, 2022, the Company entered into that certain Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) with the Administrative Agent and the lenders party thereto. The Second Amendment modifies the Credit Agreement to make certain updates to the conditions restricting the making of certain dividends, distributions, and other restricted payments by the Company so that the Company’s compliance with the net leverage ratio governor contained in such conditions is calculated net of the net cash proceeds of the Notes issued pursuant to the Indenture.

The Credit Agreement matures on March 12, 2026 and the full balance of the revolving loans and all other obligations under the Credit Agreement must be paid at that time. In addition, we are required to prepay the revolving loan balance if at any time the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement exceeds the aggregate commitments thereunder. The Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of our existing and future property and our material domestic subsidiaries. The revolving loans under the Credit Agreement will be available for letters of credit, permitted acquisitions, working capital and general corporate purposes. We were in compliance with all financial and non-financial covenants under the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2022.

As of December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, we had no outstanding loans and $300,000 of unused credit under the Credit Agreement.

Interest expense related to the Credit Agreement was $435 and $194 for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Amortization of deferred debt issuance costs was $127 and $127 for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Interest expense related to the Credit Agreement was $836 and $577 for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Amortization of deferred debt issuance costs was $381 and $381 for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

12. Income Taxes

The provision of income taxes was $1,019 in the three months ended December 31, 2022, reflecting an effective tax rate of 11.5%. The provision of income taxes was $2,535 in the three months ended December 31, 2021, reflecting an effective tax rate of 32.8%.

The provision of income taxes in the nine months ended December 31, 2022 was $6,479, reflecting an effective tax rate of 22.3%. The provision for income taxes in the nine months ended December 31, 2021 was $1,653, reflecting an effective tax rate of 56.6%.

The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022 compared to the corresponding prior periods was primarily due to the net benefit of discrete items including an increase to research and development credits and stock based compensation.

The deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented net in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as noncurrent. We expect to receive the full benefit of the deferred tax assets recorded, with the exception of certain state credits and state net operating loss carryforwards, for which we have recorded a valuation allowance.

We had unrecognized tax benefits of $6,827 and $6,112 related to various federal, state, and local income tax matters as of December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively. If recognized, this amount would reduce our effective tax rate.

21


 

We are subject to taxation in federal, various state, India, and United Kingdom jurisdictions. We are no longer subject to United States federal income tax examinations for tax years before fiscal year ended 2018. With a few exceptions, we are no longer subject to state or local income tax examinations for tax years before fiscal year ended 2017. We do not anticipate the total unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change due to the settlement of audits or the expiration of statute of limitations within the next twelve months.

Inflation Reduction Act of 2022

Changes in tax law and rates may affect recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities and our effective tax rate in the future. On August 16, 2022, the United States government enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 that includes changes to the United States corporate income tax system, including a fifteen percent minimum tax based on “adjusted financial statement income,” which is effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022, and a one percent excise tax on repurchases of stock after December 31, 2022. We are continuing to evaluate the Inflation Reduction Act and its requirements, as well as its application to our business.

The computation of diluted net income per share does not include 26 and 410 options to acquire shares of common stock for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, because their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect on net income per share.

The computation of diluted net income per share does not include 22 and 428 options to acquire shares of common stock for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, because their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect on net income per share.

The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive common shares is reflected in diluted net income per share by application of the if-converted method for the Notes. The shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes, subject to adjustment in some events, are not considered in the calculation of diluted net income per share because their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect on net income per share for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022.

 

14. Stockholders’ Equity

Equity Incentive Plans

In October 2005, our shareholders approved a stock option and incentive plan (the “2005 Plan”) under which 4,800,000 shares of common stock were reserved for the issuance of awards, including incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, unrestricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units (including performance options) and other share-based awards. The 2005 Plan provides that our employees and directors may, at the discretion of the Board of Directors (“Board”) or a duly designated compensation committee, be granted certain share-based awards. In the case of option awards granted under the 2005 Plan, the exercise price of each option is determined based on the date of grant and expire no later than 10 years from the date of grant. Awards granted pursuant to the 2005 Plan are subject to the vesting schedule or performance metrics set forth in the agreements pursuant to which they are granted. Upon a change of control of our Company, as such term is defined in the 2005 Plan, awards under the 2005 Plan will fully vest under certain circumstances. The 2005 Plan expired on May 25, 2015. As of December 31, 2022, there were 31,200 outstanding options under the 2005 Plan.

22


 

In August 2015, our shareholders approved a stock option and incentive plan (the “2015 Plan”) under which 11,500,000 shares of common stock were reserved for the issuance of awards, including incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards and restricted stock unit awards, performance stock awards and other share-based awards. In August 2017, our shareholders approved an amendment to the 2015 Plan, to, among other items, increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance thereunder by 6,000,000 shares, which was further amended in August 2019 as approved by our shareholders, to, among other items, increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance thereunder by an additional 3,575,000 shares. In October 2021, our shareholders approved an amendment and restatement of the Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Amended 2015 Plan”), to, among other items, increase the number of common stock reserved for issuance thereunder by an additional 1,850,000 shares. The Amended 2015 Plan provides that our employees and directors may, at the discretion of the Board or a duly designated compensation committee, be granted certain share-based awards. In the case of option awards granted under the Amended 2015 Plan, the exercise price of each option is determined based on the date of grant and expire no later than 10 years from the date of grant. Awards granted pursuant to the Amended 2015 Plan are subject to the vesting schedule or performance metrics set forth in the agreements pursuant to which they are granted. Upon a change of control of our Company, as such term is defined in the Amended 2015 Plan, awards under the Amended 2015 Plan will fully vest under certain circumstances. As of December 31, 2022, there were 1,168,863 outstanding options, 2,758,094 outstanding shares of restricted stock awards, certain outstanding performance stock unit awards as described further below, and 653,952 shares available for future grant under the Amended 2015 Plan.

In September 2021, the Board adopted the 2021 Employment Inducement Equity Incentive Plan (the “Inducement Plan”) and initially reserved 1,500,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the Inducement Plan. The Inducement Plan was adopted by the Board without stockholder approval pursuant to Rule 5635(c)(4) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules. In accordance with Rule 5635(c)(4) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules, awards under the Inducement Plan may only be made to an employee who has not previously been an employee or member of the Board or the Board of Directors or any parent or subsidiary, or following a bona fide period of non-employment by the Company or a parent or subsidiary, if he or she is granted such award in connection with his or her commencement of employment with the Company or a subsidiary and such grant is an inducement material to his or her entering into employment with the Company or such subsidiary. The terms of the Inducement Plan are substantially similar to the terms of our Amended 2015 Plan, with the exception that incentive stock options may not be granted under the Inducement Plan. As of December 31, 2022, there were 724,835 outstanding shares of restricted stock awards, 425,666 outstanding performance stock unit awards, and 141,699 shares available for future grant under the Inducement Plan.

Share-based compensation expense related to restricted stock awards was $6,404 and $5,070 for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Share-based compensation expense related to restricted stock awards was $19,055 and $15,417 for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The weighted-average grant date fair value for the restricted stock awards was estimated using the market price of the common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of the restricted stock awards is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, which is generally between one to three years.

24


 

As of December 31, 2022, $46,232 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to restricted stock awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years. This amount does not include the cost of new restricted stock awards that may be granted in future periods.

The total fair value of restricted stock awards vested as of the vesting dates were $6,325 and $2,736 for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The total fair value of restricted stock awards vested as of the vesting dates were $24,530 and $16,946 for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Net Share Settlements

Restricted stock awards and performance stock units are generally net share-settled upon vesting to cover the required withholding taxes, and the remaining share amount is transferred to the employee. The majority of restricted stock awards and performance stock units that vested during the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were net-share settled such that we withheld shares with value equivalent to the employees’ applicable income tax obligations for the applicable income and other employment taxes and remitted the equivalent amount of cash to the appropriate taxing authorities. Total payments for the employees’ applicable income tax obligations are reflected as a financing activity within the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows. The total shares withheld during the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were 200,012 and 56,054, respectively, and were based on the value of the restricted stock awards and performance stock units on their vesting date as determined by our closing stock price. The total shares withheld during the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were 545,275 and 333,598, respectively. These net-share settlements had the effect of share repurchases by us as they reduced the number of shares that would have otherwise been issued at the vesting date.

Performance Stock Units and Awards

On October 23, 2018, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved 248,140 performance stock unit awards to be granted to certain executives and non-executive members of the executive leadership team, of which no shares are currently outstanding and no shares were ultimately earned or issued during the performance period. Approximately 34% of the performance stock units were tied to our cumulative 3-year total shareholder return, 33% were tied to our fiscal year 2021 revenue, and 33% were tied to our fiscal year 2021 adjusted earnings per share goals, each as specifically defined in the equity award agreements. The number of shares to be issued was to vary between 50% and 200% of the number of performance stock units depending on performance, and no such shares were to be issued if threshold performance was not achieved. The weighted-average grant date fair value of the awards was $17.84 per share, which was estimated using a Monte Carlo-based valuation model for the awards based on total shareholder return and using a probability-adjusted achievement rate combined with the market price of the common stock on the date of grant for the awards based on revenue and earnings per share targets.

On December 26, 2019 and January 27, 2020, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved a total of 279,587 performance stock unit awards to be granted to certain executives and non-executive members of the executive leadership team, which vest only in the event certain performance goals are achieved and with continuous service through the date the goals are certified. Approximately 80% of the performance stock units are tied to the Company’s fiscal year 2021 revenue goal and 20% are tied to the Company’s fiscal year 2022 revenue goal. Performance stock unit awards funded for fiscal year 2021 and fiscal year 2022 revenue performance will be modified for cumulative 3-year total shareholder return (“TSR”) on the three-year grant anniversary, which is also the cliff vest date. The number of shares to be issued may vary between 42.5% and 172.5% of the number of performance stock units depending on performance, and no such shares will be issued if threshold performance is not achieved. The weighted-average grant date fair value of the awards was $16.02 per share, which was estimated using a Monte Carlo-based valuation model for the awards based on total shareholder return and using a probability adjusted achievement rate combined with the market price of the common stock on the date of grant for the awards based on revenue targets. The performance period for these awards ended December 27, 2022 and 157,735 units were earned and issued as shares during the three months ended December 31, 2022. No further shares will be issued under this grant.

On October 26, 2020, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved 408,861 performance stock unit awards to be granted to certain executives and non-executive members of the executive leadership team, which vest only in the event certain performance goals are achieved and with continuous service through the date the goals are certified. Approximately 80% of the performance stock units are tied to the Company’s fiscal year 2022 revenue goal and 20% are tied to the Company’s fiscal year 2023 revenue goal. Performance stock unit awards funded for fiscal year 2022 and fiscal year 2023 revenue performance will be modified for cumulative 3-year TSR on the three-year grant date anniversary, which is also the cliff vest date. The number of shares to be issued may vary between 8.5% and 199.5% of the number of target performance stock units depending on performance, and no such shares will be issued if threshold performance is not achieved. The weighted-average grant date fair value of the awards was $16.25 per share, which was estimated using a Monte Carlo-based valuation model for the awards based on total shareholder return and using a probability adjusted achievement rate combined with the market price of the common stock on the date of grant for the awards based on revenue targets.

On September 20, 2021, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved an award of 450,000 performance stock units to be granted to our Chief Executive Officer under the Inducement Plan. The award has a grant date of September 22, 2021 and portions of the award vest upon both the attainment of five separate pre-determined stock price milestones during a five-year performance period and continued service over a period of three years following the grant date. The fair value and derived service period for each share-price milestone tranche was estimated separately using a Monte-Carlo based valuation model. The expense for each

share-price milestone tranche is amortized over the longer of the derived service period or the explicit service period. The weighted-average grant date fair value of the award was $10.52 per share. During the nine months ended December 31, 2022, 24,334 units were earned and issued as shares.

On October 26, 2021, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved 476,713 performance stock units to be granted to certain members of the executive leadership team. The awards have a grant date of November 2, 2021 and portions of the award vest upon both the attainment of four separate pre-determined stock price milestones through September 22, 2026 and continued service over a period of three years following the grant date. The fair value and derived service period for each share-price milestone tranche was estimated separately using a Monte-Carlo based valuation model. The expense for each share-price milestone tranche is amortized over the longer of the derived service period or the explicit service period. The weighted-average grant date fair value of the award was $13.02 per share. During the nine months December 31, 2022, 33,998 units were earned and issued as shares.

On October 25, 2022, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved 475,337 target performance stock unit awards to be granted to certain executives and non-executive members of the executive leadership team. The awards have a grant date of October 28, 2022 and vest only in the event certain performance goals are achieved and with continuous service through the date the goals are certified. Approximately 50% of the performance stock units are tied to the Company’s fiscal year 2025 revenue goal and 50% are tied to the Company’s fiscal year 2025 EBITDA goal. Performance stock unit awards funded will be modified for cumulative 3-year TSR on the three-year grant date anniversary, which is also the cliff vest date. The number of shares to be issued may vary between 0% and 210% of the number of target performance stock units depending on performance, and no such shares will be issued if threshold performance is not achieved. The weighted-average grant date fair value of the awards was $22.81 per share, which was estimated using a Monte Carlo-based valuation model for the awards based on total shareholder return and using a probability adjusted achievement rate combined with the market price of the common stock on the date of grant.

Share-based compensation expense related to the performance stock units and awards was $2,532 and $6,906 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022, respectively. Share-based compensation expense related to the performance stock units and awards was $1,720 and $1,678 for three and nine months ended December 31, 2021, respectively. The expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 includes a benefit recognized primarily due to the cancellation of awards associated with the resignation of our former Chief Executive Officer.

As of December 31, 2022, $16,240 of total estimated unrecognized compensation costs related to performance stock units and awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years. This amount does not include the cost of new performance stock units and awards that may be granted in future periods.

Employee Share Purchase Plan

On August 11, 2014, our shareholders approved an Employee Share Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”) under which 4,000,000 shares of common stock were reserved for future grant. The Purchase Plan allows eligible employees to purchase shares through payroll deductions of up to 15% of total base salary at a price equal to 90% of the lower of the fair market values of the shares as of the beginning or the end of the corresponding offering period. Any shares purchased under the Purchase Plan are subject to a six-month holding period. Employees are limited to purchasing no more than 1,500 shares on any single purchase date and no more than $25 in total fair market value of shares during any one calendar year. As of December 31, 2022, we have issued 1,010,113 shares under the Purchase Plan and 2,989,887 shares are available for future issuance.

Share-based compensation expense recorded for the employee share purchase plan was $124 and $95 for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Share-based compensation expense recorded for the employee share purchase plan was $473 and $425 for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Share Repurchase Program

In October 2021, the Board of Directors ("Board") authorized a share repurchase program under which we may repurchase up to $60,000 of our outstanding shares of common stock through March 2023. On October 25, 2022, the Board authorized a new share repurchase program under which we may repurchase up to an additional $100,000 of outstanding shares of our common stock through March 2025.

The timing and amount of any share repurchases under the share repurchase program will be determined by our management at its discretion based on ongoing assessments of the capital needs of the business, the market price of our common stock and general market conditions. Share repurchases under the program may be made through a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, in block trades, accelerated share repurchase transactions, exchange transactions, or any combination of such methods. Repurchases may also be made under Rule 10b5-1 plans, which permit shares of common stock to be repurchased through pre-determined criteria. The program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of our common stock, and the share repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at our discretion.

During the three months ended December 31, 2022, we repurchased 2,103,049 shares of common stock for a total of $40,000 at a weighted-average share repurchase price of approximately $19.02. As of December 31, 2022, $74,303 remained available for share repurchases pursuant to our share repurchase programs.

15. Concentration of Credit Risk

We had cash deposits at United States banks and financial institutions which exceeded federally insured limits at December 31, 2022. We are exposed to credit loss for amounts in excess of insured limits in the event of non-performance by the institutions; however, we do not anticipate non-performance by these institutions.

 

16. Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies

Commitments and Guarantees

Our software license agreements include a performance guarantee that our software products will substantially operate as described in the applicable program documentation for a period of 365 days after delivery. To date, we have not incurred any significant costs associated with our performance guarantee or other related warranties and do not expect to incur significant warranty costs in the future. Therefore, no accrual has been made for potential costs associated with these warranties. Certain arrangements also include performance guarantees related to response time, availability for operational use, and other performance-related guarantees. Certain arrangements also include penalties in the form of maintenance credits should the performance of the software fail to meet the performance guarantees. To date, we have not incurred any significant costs associated with these warranties and do not expect to incur significant warranty costs in the future. Therefore, no accrual has been made for potential costs associated with these warranties.

We historically have accepted sales returns under limited circumstances. We estimate expected sales returns and other forms of variable consideration considering our customary business practice and contract-specific facts and circumstances, and we consider such estimated potential returns as variable consideration when allocating the transaction price to the extent it is probable that there will not be a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized.

Our standard sales agreements contain an indemnification provision pursuant to which we shall indemnify, hold harmless, and reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party in connection with any United States patent, any copyright or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third-party with respect to our software. As we have not incurred any significant costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements, we believe that our estimated exposure on these agreements is currently minimal. Accordingly, we have no liabilities recorded for these indemnification obligations.

We have experienced legal claims by clients regarding product and contract disputes, by other third parties asserting that we have infringed their intellectual property rights, by current and former employees regarding certain employment matters and by certain shareholders. We believe that these claims are without merit and intend to defend against them vigorously; however, we could incur substantial costs and diversion of management resources defending any such claim, even if we are ultimately successful in the defense of such matter. Litigation is inherently uncertain and always difficult to predict.

Additionally, we are subject to the regulation and oversight of various federal and state governmental agencies that enforce fraud and abuse programs related to the submission of fraudulent claims for reimbursement from governmental payers. We have received, and from time to time may receive, inquiries or subpoenas from federal and state agencies. Under the False Claims Act (“FCA”), private parties have the right to bring qui tam, or “whistleblower,” suits against entities that submit, or cause to be submitted, fraudulent claims for reimbursement. Qui tam or whistleblower actions initiated under the FCA may be pending but placed under seal by the court to comply with the FCA’s requirements for filing such suits. As a result, they could lead to proceedings without our knowledge. We refer you to the discussion of regulatory and litigation risks within “Item 1A. Risk Factors” appearing in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 (“Annual Report”).

Hussein Litigation

On October 7, 2013, a complaint was filed against our Company and certain of our officers and directors in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Orange, captioned Ahmed D. Hussein v. Sheldon Razin, Steven Plochocki, Quality Systems, Inc. and Does 1-10, inclusive, No. 30-2013-00679600-CU-NP-CJC, by Ahmed Hussein, a former director and significant shareholder of our Company. After the court sustained our demurrer to the initial complaint, Hussein filed an amended complaint on April 25, 2014. The amended complaint generally alleges fraud and deceit, constructive fraud, negligent misrepresentation and breach of fiduciary duty in connection with statements made to our shareholders regarding our financial condition and projected future performance. The amended complaint seeks actual damages, exemplary and punitive damages and costs. Hussein’s breach of fiduciary duty claims were dismissed on demurrer, and we filed an answer and cross-complaint against Hussein, alleging that he breached fiduciary duties owed to the Company. On September 16, 2015, the Court granted summary judgment with respect to Hussein’s remaining claims, dismissing all claims against us. The cross-complaint against Hussein went to trial, but the Court granted judgment in favor of Hussein on our cross-complaint. Final judgment over Hussein’s claims and our cross-claims was entered on January 9, 2018. Hussein appealed the order granting summary judgment over his claims, and we appealed the court’s decision granting Hussein’s motion for judgment on our cross-complaint. On October 8, 2019, the California State Court of Appeal for the Fourth Appellate District, Division Three, reversed the Superior Court’s grant of summary judgment on Hussein’s affirmative claims and affirmed the trial court’s judgment on the Company’s breach of fiduciary duty claims against Hussein. As a result, the case has returned to the trial court for resolution of Hussein’s claims against us. On July 29, 2021, the jury rendered a verdict in favor of the Company and the individual defendants on all counts. Hussein filed a Motion for New Trial, which the Court denied.

Hussein has appealed the jury verdict in favor of the Company and the individual defendants. Hussein, the Company, and the individual defendants have appealed the trial court’s denial of requests for recovery of costs arising from the litigation. The parties are currently briefing the various appeals. We expect the California State Court of Appeal for the Fourth Appellate District, Division Three, to hear arguments and issue its ruling on the various appeals in 2023.

Other Regulatory and Litigation Matters

Commencing in April 2017, we have received requests for documents and information from the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Vermont and other government agencies in connection with an investigation concerning the certification we obtained for our software under the United States Department of Health and Human Services' Electronic Health Record (EHR) Incentive Program. The requests for information relate to, among other things: (a) data used to determine objectives and measures under the Meaningful Use (MU) and the Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) programs, (b) our EHR product and its performance, including defects that relate to patient safety or meaningful use certifications, (c) the software code used in certifying our EHR software and information, and (d) marketing programs and payments provided for the referral of EHR business. We continue to respond to the government’s requests and are engaged in discussions on the status and potential resolution of their ongoing investigation. Recently, the United States Attorney’s Office informed NextGen of the existence of a sealed qui tam lawsuit concerning the issues NextGen has been discussing with their Office. NextGen does not have a copy of the lawsuit because it remains under seal.

This investigation and the sealed qui tam lawsuit may lead to future requests for information and ultimately litigation of the existing and potentially additional claims by or on behalf of the United States against NextGen, which themselves may lead to material damages, penalties, fines, judgments, or other liabilities. In addition, our responses to these and any future requests and the defense of any litigation will require time and effort, which will result in additional cost to us. At this time, we are unable to estimate the probability of the outcome of this matter or the range of reasonably possible loss, if any. However, the unfavorable resolution of this matter could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Given the highly-regulated nature of our industry, we may, from time to time, be subject to subpoenas, requests for information, or investigations from various government agencies. It is our practice to respond to such matters in a cooperative, thorough and timely manner.

17. Restructuring Costs

During the nine months ended December 31, 2022, we recorded restructuring costs of $321, consisting of payroll-related costs, such as severance, outplacement costs, and continuing healthcare coverage, associated with the involuntary separation of employees pursuant to a one-time benefit arrangement, within operating expenses in our consolidated statements of net income and comprehensive income. The payroll-related costs were substantially paid as of December 31, 2022.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2021, we recorded restructuring costs of $539 within operating expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of net income and comprehensive income. The payroll-related costs were substantially paid as of December 31, 2021.

Company Overview

NextGen Healthcare is a leading provider of innovative, cloud-based, healthcare technology solutions that empower healthcare practices to manage the risk and complexity of delivering care in the United States healthcare system. Our combination of technological breadth, depth, and domain expertise makes us a preferred solution provider and trusted advisor for our clients. In addition to highly configurable core clinical and financial capabilities, our portfolio includes tightly integrated solutions that deliver on ambulatory healthcare imperatives, including consumerism, digitization, risk allocation, regulatory influence, and integrated care and health equity.

We serve clients across all 50 states. Over 100,000 providers use NextGen Healthcare solutions to deliver care in nearly every medical specialty in a wide variety of practice models including accountable care organizations (“ACOs”), independent physician associations (“IPAs”), managed service organizations (“MSOs”), Veterans service organizations (“VSOs”), and dental service organizations (“DSOs”). Our clients range from some of the largest and most progressive multi-specialty groups in the country to sole practitioners with a wide variety of business models. With the addition of behavioral health to our medical and oral health capabilities, we continue to extend our share not only in federally qualified health centers (“FQHCs”) but also in the growing integrated care market.

Our company was incorporated in California in 1974. Previously named Quality Systems, Inc., we changed our corporate name to NextGen Healthcare, Inc. in September 2018, and in 2021, we changed our state of incorporation to Delaware. As a remote-first company, we no longer maintain a principal executive office. Our principal website is www.nextgen.com. We operate on a fiscal year ending on March 31.

Our Vision, Mission and Strategy

NextGen Healthcare’s vision is better healthcare outcomes for all. We strive to achieve this vision by delivering innovative solutions and insights aimed at creating healthier communities. We focus on improving care delivered in ambulatory settings but do so recognizing that the entire healthcare ecosystem needs to work in concert to achieve the quadruple aim… “to improved patient experience, improved provider experience, improve the health of a population, and reduce per capita health care costs.”

29


 

Our long-term strategy is to position NextGen Healthcare as both the essential, integrated, delivery platform and the most trusted advisor for the ambulatory practices of the future. To that end, we primarily serve organizations that provide or orchestrate care in ambulatory settings and do so across diverse practice sizes, specialties, care modalities, and business models. These customers include conventional practices as well as new market entrants.

We plan to continue investing in our current capabilities as well as building and/or acquiring new capabilities. In October 2019, we acquired Topaz Information Systems, LLC for its behavioral health solutions. In December 2019, we acquired Medfusion, Inc. for its Patient Experience Platform capabilities (i.e., patient portal, self-scheduling, and patient pay) and OTTO Health, LLC for its virtual care solutions, notably telemedicine. In November 2022, we acquired TSI Healthcare, LLC ("TSI") for its purpose-built clinical content and differentiated service offerings, which expands the addressable market served by our Enterprise domain, including new specialties, such as rheumatology, pulmonology and cardiology. The integration of these acquired technologies has made NextGen Healthcare’s solutions among the most comprehensive in the market. Further, we are also actively innovating our business models and exploring new high-growth market domains as we extend our position as the essential, integrated, delivery platform and trusted impact partner for the ambulatory practices of the future.

Market Opportunity, and Trends

The scale and scope of the healthcare industry continues to expand. Annual United States healthcare spend today represents nearly $4.1 trillion and ~20% of GDP. A significant portion of this spend is directed towards the treatment of chronic conditions and administering an increasingly complex system with diverse stakeholders. While there are several convergent market forces reshaping the healthcare industry landscape, we are focused on six trends we believe will materially impact the markets we participate in and our customer value proposition:

1.
Regulatory Influence – Medicare and Medicaid continue to expand and represent approximately a third of covered lives. Further, the 21st Century Cures Act (“Cures Act”) certification requirements and impending changes by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) to Medicare reimbursement and shared savings programs parameters (i.e., MIPS, MSSP and telehealth programs) represent continued and escalating regulatory requirements in the healthcare industry broadly and the shape of primary healthcare. Considering these regulatory and market-based changes, many ambulatory practices have come to place a very high value on partnering with vendors that stay ahead of these regulatory and industry changes
2.
Risk Reallocation – As healthcare shifts away from defined benefit models towards defined contribution, employers, payors, providers and consumers are increasingly evaluating models to share and reallocate risk. In 2020, nearly 40% of all healthcare payments representing over 75% of all covered lives flowed through an alternative payment model. While Medicare Advantage related payments led the charge with over 55% of payments tied to alternative models, a plurality of commercial payors are also leveraging value-based provider arrangements to incent care quality standards and reduce health disparities. For providers, effective participation in these models requires a full view of the patient population’s clinical and cost data and robust financial management solutions and services to navigate multiple contract types.
3.
Consumerism – Consumers are increasingly directing their own healthcare and are expecting greater levels of access, convenience, and experience personalization. Beyond tailoring healthcare interactions to their needs and preferences, they also expect much greater transparency about the costs for visits, medications, and procedures. Accompanied by a significant shift of care from inpatient to lower cost outpatient settings and virtual modes, healthcare is poised to becomes increasingly ‘retail-like’ and will place unique demands on practices and care providers who need comprehensive engagement platforms to attract, retain and engage patients through their complete health journey
4.
New Modalities and Coordinated Team Based Care – Untethered from physical clinics and desktops, care is now being delivered in “boundless” venues by multiple, coordinated care providers.
5.
Meaningful Interoperability & Digitization – Greater levels of data exchange, automation, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and speech enabled workflows.
6.
Integrated Care and Health Equity – Integrated, whole-person health continues to trend strongly as evidenced by FQHCs/CHCs receiving Health Resources and Services Administration (“HRSA”) funding to drive integrated medical, behavioral, and oral health. Public sector and private investment in understanding and addressing social determinants of health and improving community health are growing.

NextGen Healthcare is well positioned to play a key role in guiding our clients through short-term and long-term changes that impact healthcare in the United States and is committed to helping them deliver better outcomes.

Our Value Proposition

NextGen Healthcare’s value proposition to our clients can be summarized by the four “I’s” as follows:

Integration – Delivering a broad and highly integrated set of solutions and end-user experiences. NextGen Healthcare, a top KLAS-ranked platform solution provider, is driving greater levels of efficiency and experience for practices. Our clients

30


 

value the full breadth of our solution offering and seamless integration into their clinical workflows. This integration is an important determinant of our success.
Interoperability – Building seamlessly connected data and human networks across ambulatory healthcare. NextGen Healthcare’s Interoperability solutions help create a frictionless environment where those that need important healthcare data can rapidly find and utilize it. For example, NextGen Healthcare powers over a third of all United States Health Information Exchanges (“HIE’s”), with over 170 million patient records passing over our network of almost 2.8 million directory addresses.
Insights – Providing intelligence at the point of care to enable better health and financial decision-making. We are helping our clients move from being data rich to insight rich. By providing intelligence, through innovative solutions that take data out of electronic health records (“EHR”), normalize, cleanse, and present it back as usable data pipelines, NextGen Healthcare can help optimize prescription guidance, care gap reviews, billing quality, practice variance, etc. and insert it directly into clinician’s workflows in order to facilitate sound clinical and financial decisions when serving patients.
Impact – Delivering and shaping outcomes in all aspects of our solutions and service. NextGen Healthcare is pivoting towards becoming a true performance partner for our clients and is evidenced by proactively helping manage performance and outcomes for our clients.

NextGen Healthcare delivers value to our clients in several ways. Our solutions enable our clients to address current needs while preparing for the needs of the future including expanding access to health services, enhancing the coordination and management of care, and optimizing patient outcomes while also ensuring the sustainability of their practices. Specifically, we offer a range of solutions to allow clinicians to practice anywhere and in new and innovative collaboration models.

NextGen Healthcare provides integrated cloud-based solutions and services that align with our client’s strategic imperatives. Ultimately, this value is reflected in the overall insights and impact delivered to the client. The foundation for our integrated ambulatory care platform is a core of our industry-leading EHR and practice management (“PM”) systems that support clinical, financial and patient engagement activities.

We optimize the core with an automation and workflow layer that gives our clients control over how platform capabilities are implemented to drive their desired outcomes. The workflow layer includes mobile and voice-enabled capabilities proven to reduce physician burden. Recognizing that engaged patients are key to positive outcomes, our patient experience platform enables our clients to create personalized care experiences that enhance trust and drive patient loyalty. Further, we support the advances in integrated care that focuses on the whole person with solutions supporting behavioral and oral health. Our cloud-based population health and analytics engine allows our clients to improve results in both fee-for-service and fee-for-value environments.

In support of extensibility, we surround the core with open, web-based application programming interfaces (“APIs”) to drive the secure exchange of health and patient data with connected health solutions. Our commitment to interoperability, defragmenting care and our experience powering many of the nation’s HIE’s places us in a unique position to enable our clients to leverage this technology to lower the cost of care and improve the patient and provider experience by providing an integrated community patient record.

Finally, to ensure our clients get maximum value from our solutions, we have augmented our technology with key services aligned with their needs, helping to ensure they reach their organizational goals. We partner with our clients to optimize their information technology (“IT”) operations, enhance revenue cycle processes across fee-for-service and fee-for-value models, service line expansion and operations, as well as advise on long-term strategy.

Positioning NextGen Healthcare for Growth. As NextGen Healthcare applies this value proposition framework across the ambulatory care market, we incorporate some or all our current solution offerings within three broad domains illustrated in Figure 1 below:

Enterprise – The Enterprise domain is both the largest and incorporates our broadest portfolio of solutions (e.g., clinical, financial, and patient engagement solution portfolios) provided to ambulatory care practices that incorporate 10 or more healthcare providers. One of these solutions, our practice management offering, NextGen® Enterprise PM, was recognized as the #1 Practice Management Solution (11-75 Physicians) for four consecutive years – 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 Best in KLAS Report.
Office – The Office domain reflects almost all solutions (software solutions and adjacent services) provided to an ambulatory care practice that incorporates fewer than 10 healthcare providers.

We generate revenue from sales of licensing rights and subscriptions to our software solutions, hardware and third-party software products, support and maintenance, managed services, transactional and data services, and other non-recurring services, including implementation, training, and consulting services performed for clients who use our products.

Beginning in fiscal year 2023, in order to align the presentation of disaggregated revenue with the manner in which management reviews such information, we revised our presentation of disaggregated revenues by major revenue categories to reclassify revenues related to patient pay services and certain other services from the managed services category into the transactional and data services category, which replaced the prior Electronic Data Interchange (“EDI”) and data services category. The prior period presentation of revenues disaggregated by our major revenue categories and by occurrence above have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Consolidated revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2022 increased $12.2 million compared to the prior year period due to a $14.2 million increase in recurring revenues, offset by a $2.0 million decrease in software, hardware and other non-recurring revenues. The increase in recurring revenues was driven by a $5.4 million increase in managed services, $5.0 million increase in transactional and data services, and a $4.7 million increase in subscription services, partially offset by a $0.9 million decrease in support and maintenance. The increase in managed services revenue was primarily due to higher patient volumes and billings compared to the prior year, as well as an increase in hosting services associated with higher recent bookings. The increase in transactional and data services revenue was primarily driven by higher transaction volumes associated with our patient pay and EDI services. The increase in subscription services reflect the incremental revenues associated with the acquisition of TSI and higher connected health subscriptions from higher recent bookings. Support and maintenance decreased primarily due to net client attrition, our continued shift to subscription-based solutions, and the negative impact to revenues associated with the acquisition of TSI, which was one of our value-added resellers, and the disposition of our Commercial Dental assets, as described in Note 6, "Business Combinations and Disposals" of our notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report. The decrease in software, hardware, and other non-recurring revenues was primarily due to a decrease in software license revenue due to lower bookings, partially offset by higher professional services revenue from more hours incurred and projects completed in the current year period.

Consolidated revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 increased $29.5 million compared to the prior year period due to an increase in recurring revenues. Software, hardware and other non-recurring revenues was flat compared to the prior year period. The increase in recurring revenues was driven by a $11.4 million increase in subscription services, $11.0 million increase in managed services, $8.1 million in transactional and data services, offset by a $1.0 million decrease in support and maintenance. The increase in subscription services reflect the incremental revenues associated with the acquisition of TSI and higher subscriptions of our NextGen Office and Insights solutions, including interoperability, virtual visits, mobile, financial analytics, and NextGen Enterprise solutions, due to higher recent bookings. The increase in managed services revenue was primarily due to an increase in hosting services and RCM services revenues associated with higher recent bookings. The increase in transactional and data services revenue was primarily driven by higher transaction volumes associated with our patient pay and EDI services. Support and maintenance decreased primarily due to net client attrition, our continued shift to subscription-based solutions, and the negative impact to revenues associated with the acquisition of TSI and the disposition of our Commercial Dental assets. Software, hardware, and other non-recurring revenues were flat at $42.6 million as the increased professional services revenue from more hours

incurred and projects completed in the current year period were offset by a decrease in software license revenue from lower bookings.

Bookings reflect the estimated annual value of our executed contracts, adjusted to include the effect of pre-acquisition bookings if applicable, and are believed to provide a broad indicator of the general direction and progress of the business. Total bookings were $44.8 million and $37.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase is primarily due to higher bookings of population health subscriptions and patient pay services, partially offset by lower software and maintenance bookings.

Total bookings were $121.5 million and $111.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase is due to higher bookings of patient pay services and EDI and data services, partially offset by lower bookings of software and maintenance and subscriptions of mobile, virtual visits, and NextGen Office.

We continue to see overall practice volumes at healthy, pre-pandemic levels. This reflects in our volume- and transaction-based solutions, as noted above, and reflects an ongoing industry trend of procedure volumes migrating out of higher cost settings, like hospitals, favoring lower cost care settings and independent healthcare providers. We also continue to see healthy activity levels in our current pipeline. Sales development activities, such as lead generation and demos, indicate a positive demand environment. We have not been significantly impacted by the current economic concerns and general market conditions, and we continue to constructively engage prospects and our clients to find ways to achieve better outcomes for all.

Cost of revenue consists primarily of compensation expense, including share-based compensation, for personnel that deliver our products and services. Cost of revenue also includes amortization of capitalized software costs and acquired technology, third party consultant and outsourcing costs, costs associated with our EDI business partners and clearinghouses, hosting service costs, third party software costs and royalties, and other costs directly associated with delivering our products and services. Refer to Note 8, "Intangible Assets" and Note 9, "Capitalized Software Costs" of our notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information on current period amortization of capitalized software costs and acquired technology and an estimate of future expected amortization.

Share-based compensation expense included in cost of revenue was $0.7 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Share-based compensation expense included in cost of revenue was $2.3 million and $1.6 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2022 was $76.5 million compared to $75.5 million in the prior year due to a $12.2 million increase in revenues as discussed above, offset by a $11.1 million increase in cost of revenue as discussed further below. Our gross margin decreased to 47.3% for the three months ended December 31, 2022 compared 50.4% in the prior year period.

Gross profit for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 was $226.6 million compared to $225.4 million in the prior year period due to a $29.5 million increase in revenues as discussed above, offset by a $28.3 million increase in cost of revenue as discussed further below. Our gross margin decreased to 47.8% for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 compared to 50.7% in the prior year period.

The increase in cost of revenue for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022 compared to the prior year period was primarily due to higher costs of patient pay services directly associated with higher recent revenues and bookings. Other recurring cost of revenue, including subscription services, managed services, and EDI and data services costs, also increased driven by higher revenues and bookings, resulting in higher hosting costs and higher salaries and benefits from increased employee headcount associated with delivering our software solutions and services. Software, hardware, and other non-recurring services

revenue costs increased compared to the prior periods primarily due to higher salaries and benefits from increased employee headcount and an increase in consulting costs associated with the delivery of our professional services as we accelerate Spring’21 migration. These increases in cost of revenue were partially offset by lower amortization of capitalized software costs and acquired intangible assets, as noted above.

Our gross margin for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022 compared to the prior year period decreased primarily due to increased investments in professional services as we accelerate Spring’21 migration and a shift in product mix to lower margin transactional and data services, including patient pay services, and higher managed services, as noted above.

Selling, general and administrative expense consists of compensation expense, including share-based compensation, for management and administrative personnel, selling and marketing expense, facilities costs, depreciation, professional service fees, including legal and accounting services, legal settlements, acquisition and transaction-related costs, and other general corporate and administrative expenses.

Share-based compensation expense included in selling, general and administrative expenses was $6.7 million and $5.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Share-based compensation expense included in selling, general and administrative expenses was $19.4 million and $13.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Refer to Note 14, "Stockholders’ Equity" of our notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information of our share-based awards and related incentive plans.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $1.1 million in the three months ended December 31, 2022 compared to the prior year. The decrease in expense from the prior year period was primarily driven by lower incentive bonus expense and lower facilities and infrastructure costs, partially offset by increased share-based compensation expense, as noted above, higher travel, conferences, and conventions costs, and incremental acquisition costs associated with the acquisition of TSI.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $19.5 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2022 compared to the prior year. The decrease in expense from the prior year period was primarily driven by higher legal and related costs for our shareholder litigation matter incurred in the prior year period, including a $11.4 million payment related to the indemnification of certain expenses related to the Hussein matter and approximately $9.3 million of incremental proxy contest expenses associated with our prior year annual shareholders’ meeting. Incentive bonus expense and facilities and infrastructure costs also decreased compared to the prior year period, which was partially offset by increased share-based compensation expense, as noted above, higher travel, conferences, and conventions costs as these activities resume, higher legal fees associated with our regulatory matter, and incremental acquisition costs associated with the acquisition of TSI.

The healthcare information systems and services industry is characterized by rapid technological change, requiring us to engage in continuing investments in our research and development to update, enhance and improve our systems. This includes expansion of our software and service offerings that support pay-for-performance initiatives around accountable care organizations, bringing greater ease of use and intuitiveness to our software products, enhancing our managed cloud and hosting services to lower our clients' total cost of ownership, expanding our interoperability and enterprise analytics capabilities, and furthering development and enhancements of our portfolio of specialty-focused templates within our electronic health records software.

The capitalization of software development costs results in a reduction to our reported net research and development costs. Our software capitalization rate, or capitalized software costs as a percentage of gross expenditures, has varied historically and may continue to vary based on the nature and status of specific projects and initiatives in progress. Although changes in software capitalization rates have no impact on our overall cash flows, it results in fluctuations in the amount of software development costs that may be capitalized or expensed up front and the amount of net research and development costs reported in our condensed consolidated statements of net income and comprehensive income, and ultimately also affects the future amortization of our previously capitalized software development costs. Refer to Note 9, "Capitalized Software Costs" of our notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information on current period amortization of capitalized software costs and an estimate of future expected amortization.

Share-based compensation expense included in research and development costs was $1.7 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Share-based compensation expense included in research and development costs was $4.9 million and $3.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Net research and development costs for the three months ended December 31, 2022 increased $0.2 million compared to the prior year period due to $2.6 million higher gross expenditures, offset by $2.4 million higher capitalization of software costs.

Net research and development costs for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 increased $5.0 million compared to the prior year period due to $14.1 million higher gross expenditures, offset by $9.1 million higher capitalization of software costs.

The increase in gross expenditures in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022 compared to the prior year was primarily driven by an increase in consulting costs and higher personnel costs due to our annual merit increases and increased headcount, partially offset by lower incentive bonus expense. Our software capitalization rate fluctuates due to differences in the nature and status of our projects and initiatives during a given year, which affects the amount of development costs that may be capitalized.

Amortization of acquired intangible assets included in operating expense consists of the amortization related to our customer relationships, trade names, and re-acquired rights intangible assets acquired as part of our business combinations. Refer to Note 8, "Intangible Assets" of our notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for an estimate of future expected amortization.

Amortization of acquired intangible assets was flat for the three ended December 31, 2022 compared to the prior year period and decreased $0.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 compared to the prior year period because the declining amortization of the customer relationships intangible assets associated with Medfusion and HealthFusion that are amortized under an accelerated method of amortization were partially offset by the amortization of customer relationships and re-acquired rights assets associated with our acquisition of TSI.

Restructuring Costs and Impairment of Assets

During the nine months ended December 31, 2022, we recorded restructuring costs of $0.3 million, consisting of payroll-related costs, such as severance, outplacement costs, and continuing healthcare coverage, associated with the involuntary separation of employees pursuant to a one-time benefit arrangement, within operating expenses in our consolidated statements of net income and comprehensive income. The payroll-related costs were substantially paid as of December 31, 2022.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2021, we recorded restructuring costs of $0.5 million within operating expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of net income and comprehensive income. The payroll-related costs were substantially paid as of December 31, 2021.

In the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022 we vacated portions of certain leased locations and recorded impairments of $0.2 million and $1.6 million, respectively, to our right-of-use assets and certain related fixed assets associated with the vacated locations, or portions thereof, in St. Louis, Atlanta, Horsham, Hunt Valley, Chapel Hill and Bangalore based on projected sublease rental income and estimated sublease commencement dates and the remeasurement of our operating lease liability associated with the modification of our St. Louis lease and the early termination of our Horsham lease.

In the nine months ended December 31, 2021, we vacated portions of certain leased locations and recorded impairments of $1.6 million, to our right-of-use assets and certain related fixed assets associated with the vacated locations, or portions thereof, in Irvine and Fairport based on projected sublease rental income and estimated sublease commencement dates.

The impairment analyses were performed at the asset group level and the impairment charges were estimated by comparing the fair value of each asset group based on the expected cash flows to its respective book value. We determined the discount rate for each asset group based on the approximate interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar remaining terms and payments as of the impairment date. Significant judgment was required to estimate the fair value of each asset group and actual results could vary from the estimates, resulting in potential future adjustments to amounts previously recorded.

Interest expense relates to our convertible senior notes and revolving credit agreement, as well as the related amortization of deferred debt issuance costs. Refer to Note 10, “Debt” of our notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information.

The increase in interest expense for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022 compared to the prior year period is primarily related to the $275.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 that we issued on November 1, 2022, as described in more detail in Note 10, “Debt” of our notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report. Interest expense changes are also caused by fluctuations in outstanding balances under our revolving credit agreement and the related amortization of debt issuance costs. As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had no outstanding balances under the revolving credit agreement.

Interest income is earned from funds in our money market accounts. The fluctuation of other income and expense compared to the prior year period are primarily due to changes to the India foreign exchange rates.

The change in other income (expense), net for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 is due to the $10.3 million gain from our disposition of our Commercial Dental assets. Refer to Note 6, "Business Combinations and Disposals" of our notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information.

As of December 31, 2022, we had no outstanding loans under our $300.0 million revolving credit agreement.

We had no outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit agreement as of December 31, 2022, March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021. Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash generated from operations, driven mostly by our net income and working capital management, our cash and cash equivalents, as well as our revolving credit agreement and convertible senior notes.

We believe that our cash and cash equivalents balance as of December 31, 2022, together with our cash flows from operating activities and liquidity provided by our debt agreements, will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve months.

The extent to which COVID-19 and other macroeconomic factors may impact our business, financial results, cash flows, and liquidity requirements depend on numerous evolving factors including, but not limited to, the magnitude and duration of COVID-19; the impact on our employees; worldwide macroeconomic conditions, including interest rates, employment rates, and health insurance coverage; and governmental and business reactions to the pandemic and other macroeconomic factors. We continue to monitor the broader implications of the global COVID-19 pandemic and other macroeconomic factors and may take further actions that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners, suppliers, and shareholders.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of December 31, 2022, our cash and cash equivalents balance of $241.6 million compares to $59.8 million as of March 31, 2022 and $49.4 million as of December 31, 2021. As described in more detail below, the increase in cash and cash equivalents is primarily due to net proceeds from our convertible senior notes.

We may continue to use a portion of our funds as well as available financing from our revolving credit agreement and convertible senior notes, to the extent permissible, for share repurchases, future acquisitions, or other similar business activities, although the specific timing and amount of funds to be used is not currently determinable. We intend to expend some of our available funds for the development of products complementary to our existing product line as well as new versions of certain of our products. These developments are intended to take advantage of more powerful technologies and to increase the integration of our products.

Our investment policy is determined by our Board of Directors. Excess cash, if any, may be invested in very liquid short term assets including tax exempt and taxable money market funds, certificates of deposit and short term municipal bonds with average maturities of 365 days or less at the time of purchase. Our Board of Directors continues to review alternate uses for our cash including an expansion of our investment policy and other items. Any or all of these programs could significantly impact our investment income in future periods.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2022, cash provided by operating activities decreased $0.7 million compared to the prior year period, primarily due to a $8.9 million decrease in cash from changes in accounts receivable and a $6.6 million decrease in cash from changes in other assets and liabilities, partially offset by $9.9 million higher cash from net income, as adjusted for a $11.4 million decrease in non-cash expenses, and an increase in cash of $5.0 million from net changes in contract assets and liabilities. The decrease in cash from changes in accounts receivable is primarily related to growth in subscriptions and milestone invoicing from higher bookings, partially offset by continued efforts to resolve aged balances and improve collections. The decrease in cash from changes in other assets and liabilities is primarily due to a decrease in cash from higher payments of cash incentive bonuses compared to the prior year due to a higher rate of bonus achievement for the prior fiscal year, partially offset by changes in our income tax assets and liabilities, including our uncertain tax positions tax liability, and a decrease in rent payments compared to the prior year period as we have early terminated a number of our leases in the current year period. Net income increased $21.3 million compared to the prior year period, as described in the sections above. Non-cash expenses decreased primarily due to a $10.3 million gain from the disposition of our Commercial Dental assets reflected in the current year period. The increase in cash from changes in net contract assets and liabilities was primarily due to lower software bookings and the termination of a number of RCM contracts in the current year period, partially offset by the timing of invoicing and recognition of annual licenses that are billed at the beginning of each year.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 was $65.2 million compared with $19.9 million in the prior year period. The increase in net cash used in investing activities is primarily due to $47.5 million of cash paid (net of cash acquired) for the acquisition of TSI and a $9.1 million increase in additions to capitalized software in the current period, partially offset by $11.3 million in cash proceeds from the disposition of our Commercial Dental assets.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 was $212.1 million compared with $41.0 million cash used in financing activities in the prior year period. The increase in cash provided by financing activities is primarily due to $275.0 million in proceeds from our convertible senior notes, net of $8.5 million in debt issuance costs, partially offset by a $14.0 million increase in share repurchases in the current year period.

Contractual Obligations

Convertible Senior Notes

On November 1, 2022, we issued $275.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (“Notes”). The Notes were issued pursuant to, and are governed by, an indenture, dated as of November 1, 2022, between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee. Net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes were approximately $266.5 million, after deducting issuance costs totaling $8.5 million.

The Notes will accrue interest at a rate of 3.75% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on May 15, 2023. The Notes will mature on November 15, 2027, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted.

Approximately $10.7 million in interest payments are due within the next 12 months for our Notes. There are no required principal payments on the Notes prior to their maturity.

Refer to Note 10, “Debt” of our notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information.

Line of Credit

On March 12, 2021, we entered into a $300 million second amended and restated revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement matures on March 12, 2026 and the full balance of the revolving loans and all other obligations under the Credit Agreement must be paid at that time. In addition, we are required to prepay the revolving loan balance if at any time the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement exceeds the aggregate commitments thereunder.

On May 17, 2022, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement, which, among other changes, provides more favorable terms and flexibility with regards to our ability to obtain additional revolving credit commitments and/or term loans thereunder, including amendments to the net leverage ratio and definition of restricted payments.

 

On October 27, 2022, the Company entered into that certain Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) with the Administrative Agent and the lenders party thereto. The Second Amendment modifies the Credit Agreement to make certain updates to the conditions restricting the making of certain dividends, distributions, and other restricted payments by the Company so that the Company’s compliance with the net leverage ratio governor contained in such conditions is calculated net of the net cash proceeds of the Notes issued pursuant to the Indenture.

39


 

As of December 31, 2022, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement.

Refer to Note 10, “Debt” of our notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information.

Non-cancelable Operating Leases

As of December 31, 2022, the total amount of future lease payments under operating leases was $9.8 million, of which $4.6 million is short-term. Our operating leases have a weighted average remaining lease term of 2.2 years. Included in our total future lease payments are $7.3 million of remaining lease obligations for vacated properties, of which $3.5 million is short-term. Remaining lease obligations for vacated properties relates to certain locations, including Cary, Brentwood, North Canton, Fairport, St. Louis and portions of Atlanta, Horsham, Hunt Valley, Irvine, Chapel Hill and Bangalore that we have vacated as part of our reorganization efforts and are actively marketing for sublease. Refer to Note 5, “Leases” of our notes to consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information. The remaining obligations have not been reduced by projected sublease rentals or by minimum sublease rentals of $2.3 million due in future periods under non-cancelable subleases.

Purchase Obligations

As of December 31, 2022, we had minimum purchase commitments of $160.5 million related to payments due under certain non-cancelable agreements to purchase goods and services, of which $32.6 million is due within the next 12 months.

Share Repurchase Program

In October 2021, the Board authorized a share repurchase program under which we may repurchase up to $60.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock through March 2023. The timing and amount of any share repurchases under the share repurchase program will be determined by our management at its discretion based on ongoing assessments of the capital needs of the business, the market price of our common stock and general market conditions. The program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of our common stock, and the share repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at our discretion.

On October 25, 2022, our Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program under which we may repurchase up to an additional $100.0 million of outstanding shares of our common stock through March 2025.

During the three months ended December 31, 2022, we repurchased 2,103,049 shares of common stock for a total of $40.0 million at a weighted-average share repurchase price of approximately $19.02. As of December 31, 2022, $74.3 million remained available for share repurchases pursuant to the Company’s share repurchase programs.

Deferred Compensation

Deferred compensation liability was $7.6 million, for which timing of future benefit payments to employees is not determinable. To offset this liability, we have purchased life insurance policies on some of the participants. The Company is the owner and beneficiary of the policies and the cash values are intended to produce cash needed to help make the benefit payments to employees when they retire or otherwise leave the Company. The cash surrender value of the life insurance policies for deferred compensation was $7.4 million.

Income Taxes

We have an uncertain tax position liability of $4.7 million as of December 31, 2022, for which timing of expected payments is not determinable.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

During the nine months ended, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated organizations, financial partnerships, or special purpose entities that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other limited purposes.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of our notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for a discussion of new accounting standards.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our condensed consolidated financial statements and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires

40


 

us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends, and other factors we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. On a regular basis, we review the accounting policies and update our assumptions, estimates, and judgments, as needed, to ensure that our condensed consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. Actual results could differ materially from our estimates under different assumptions or conditions. To the extent that there are material differences between our estimates and actual results, our financial condition or results of operations will be affected.

We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of our notes to consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report. We discuss our critical accounting policies and estimates in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” of our Annual Report.

 

There have been no other material changes in our significant accounting policies or critical accounting policies and estimates since the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

As of December 31, 2022, we were subject to minimal market risk on our cash and cash equivalents as we maintained our balances in very liquid funds with maturities of 90 days or less at the time of purchase.

As of December 31, 2022, we had no outstanding loans under our revolving credit agreement. The revolving loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest at either, at our option of either, (a) for base rate loans, a base rate based on the highest of (i) 1%, (ii) the “prime rate” quoted in the Wall Street Journal for the United States of America, (iii) the overnight bank funding rate (not to be less than zero) as determined by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York plus 0.50% or (iv) the LIBOR-based rate for one month Eurodollar deposits plus 1%, and (b) for Eurodollar loans, the LIBOR-based rate for one, two, three or six months (as selected by the Company) Eurodollar deposits plus, in each case, an applicable margin based on our net leverage ratio from time to time, ranging from 0.50% to 1.75% for base rate loans, and from 1.50% to 2.75% for Eurodollar loans. Accordingly, we are exposed to interest rate risk, primarily changes in LIBOR (including the transition away from LIBOR), due to our loans under the revolving credit agreement. Refer to Note 10, “Debt” of our notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information.

As of December 31, 2022, we had international operations that exposed us to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates against the United States dollar. However, the impact of foreign currency fluctuations has not been material to our financial position or operating results.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively) have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Security Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the "Exchange Act") as of December 31, 2022, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Evaluation Date”). They have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, these disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that material information relating to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries would be made known to them by others within those entities and would be disclosed on a timely basis. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed, and are effective, to give reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. They have also concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended December 31, 2022, there were no changes in our “internal control over financial reporting” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

1.1 Purchase and Sale. On the Closing Date and upon the terms set forth herein and in consideration of the Purchase Price, the Securityholder shall sell, assign, convey, transfer and deliver the Units to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase from the Securityholder the Units, free and clear of all Liens (other than restrictions pursuant to applicable securities Laws).

1.2 Closing. The consummation (the “Closing”) of the purchase and sale of the Units and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Agreements (collectively, the “Transactions”) shall take place at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the date of this Agreement, remotely via the exchange of documents and signatures in PDF format. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date.”

1.3 Purchase Price; Escrow.

The portion of the Purchase Price to be paid to the Securityholder at the Closing, pursuant to and as may be adjusted by this Agreement, shall be an amount equal to the Base Purchase Price minus (without duplication) (i) the sum of (A) the Closing Debt Amount, (B) the amount of any Company Expenses not otherwise paid prior to the Closing Date and not included in the calculation of Net Working Capital, (C) the Phantom Share Amount, and (D) the Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount (if Net Working Capital is less than the Net

1

 

4862-8185-4004 v.19


 

Working Capital Target), plus (ii) the sum of (X) the Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount (if Net Working Capital is greater than the Net Working Capital Target), and (Y) the amount of Company Cash (the “Closing Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 1.5, and Article VIII.

(b) Escrow. At the Closing, Buyer shall deposit with Wilmington Trust (the “Escrow Agent”), on behalf of the Securityholder, a portion of the Purchase Price in cash equal to the Escrow Amount. The Escrow Amount shall be held in trust by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of an escrow agreement entered into by the Escrow Agent, Buyer and the Securityholder on the date hereof (the “Escrow Agreement”) and shall be released in accordance with the terms thereof.

1.4 Payment of Purchase Price; Transfer of Units.

(a) Payment; Transfer of Units. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, Buyer shall deliver (i) the Closing Purchase Price, less the Escrow Amount, to the Securityholder, by wire transfer to accounts designated by the Securityholder at least two (2) Business Days prior to Closing, (ii) the Escrow Amount to the Escrow Agent by wire transfer to an account designated by the Escrow Agent, (iii) the Phantom Share Amount to the Company, to be paid by the Company thereafter to the Phantom Share Recipients, in each case subject to such Phantom Share Recipient’s delivery to Buyer prior to the Closing of a Phantom Share Release Agreement, in substantially the forms attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Phantom Share Release Agreements”), with each Phantom Share Recipient receiving his or her respective portion of the Phantom Share Amount as set forth on Schedule I hereto, in each case pursuant to the terms of the Phantom Share Plan and subject to all applicable tax withholding and deductions, and (iv) such items included in the Closing Debt Amount and Company Expenses that are listed on the Estimated Closing Statement as payable at the Closing, in each case in accordance with wire instructions delivered by the Securityholder to Buyer at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing. At the Closing, the Securityholder shall deliver to Buyer either (x) the original certificate(s) representing the Securityholder’s Units duly and properly endorsed for transfer or (y) a duly executed lost stock certificate affidavit.

1.5 Working Capital Adjustment.

(a) Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and Estimated Closing Statement. The Company has delivered to Buyer, no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, an estimated balance sheet of the Company as of 11:59 p.m. on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (as the same may have been adjusted in response to any reasonable comments of Buyer and its Representatives provided prior to the Closing, the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”), together with a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail its good faith estimates of the Phantom Share Amount, Closing Debt Amount, the Net Working Capital as derived from the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet, and the Company Expenses, and the Company Cash, each calculated in accordance with the Accounting Principles (the “Estimated Closing Statement”).

(b) Estimated Purchase Price. The portion of the Purchase Price payable at Closing under Section 1.4(a) (the “Estimated Purchase Price”) shall be calculated using the estimated Phantom Share Amount, estimated Closing Debt Amount, estimated Company

2

 

4862-8185-4004 v.19


 

Expenses, estimated Net Working Capital, and estimated Company Cash, each as set forth on the Estimated Closing Statement.

(c) Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet. As promptly as possible and in any event within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare or cause to be prepared, and will deliver to the Securityholder, a balance sheet of the Company as of 11:59 p.m. on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet”), together with a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail its proposed final determination of the Phantom Share Amount, Closing Debt Amount, Company Expenses, Net Working Capital, and Company Cash (the “Proposed Final Closing Statement”). The Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet and the determination of the Phantom Share Amount, Closing Debt Amount, the Company Expenses, Net Working Capital, and Company Cash reflected on the Proposed Final Closing Statement will be prepared in good faith in accordance with the Accounting Principles. The Securityholder and its Representatives shall have reasonable access to the work papers and other books and records of the Company and personnel of the Company, during working hours and upon reasonable notice, for purposes of assisting the Securityholder and its Representatives in their review of the Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet and the Proposed Final Closing Statement. The parties agree that the purpose of preparing the Proposed Final Closing Statement and determining the Phantom Share Amount, Closing Debt Amount, the Company Expenses, Net Working Capital, and Company Cash, and the related purchase price adjustment contemplated by this Section 1.5 is to measure changes in the amount of Phantom Share Amount, Closing Debt Amount, the Company Expenses, Net Working Capital, and Company Cash, if any, and such processes are not intended to permit the introduction of different judgments, accounting methods, policies, principles, practices, procedures, classifications or estimation methodologies for the purpose of determining the amount of Phantom Share Amount, Closing Debt Amount, the Company Expenses, Net Working Capital, and Company Cash.

(d) Working Capital Dispute Notice. The Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet and the Proposed Final Closing Statement (and the proposed final determinations of the Phantom Share Amount, Closing Debt Amount, the Company Expenses, Net Working Capital, and Company Cash reflected thereon) will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties hereto unless the Securityholder provides a written notice (a “Working Capital Dispute Notice”) to Buyer no later than the thirtieth (30th) day after the delivery to the Securityholder of the Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet and the Proposed Final Closing Statement. The Securityholder shall not be entitled to issue a Working Capital Dispute Notice or otherwise dispute any item set forth in the Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet or Proposed Final Closing Statement except on the grounds that such matter (i) was not prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles, (ii) contains mathematical errors or (iii) contains an error, miscalculation, inaccuracy, omission or oversight that, if corrected, would be consistent with the parameters, process and procedures set forth in paragraph (c) above, and which dispute is bona fide and objected to in good faith. Any Working Capital Dispute Notice must set forth in reasonable detail (x) any item on the Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet or the Proposed Final Closing Statement which the Securityholder believes has not been prepared in accordance with this Agreement and (y) the Securityholder’s alternative calculation of such items, each as prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles. Any item or amount to which no dispute is raised in the Working Capital Dispute Notice will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties on such thirtieth (30th) day following delivery to the

3

 

4862-8185-4004 v.19


 

Securityholder of the Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet and the Proposed Final Closing Statement.

(e) Working Capital Resolution of Disputes. Buyer and the Securityholder will attempt to promptly resolve the matters raised in any Working Capital Dispute Notice in good faith. Beginning thirty (30) days after delivery of any Working Capital Dispute Notice pursuant to Section 1.5(d), either Buyer or the Securityholder may provide written notice to the other that it elects to submit the disputed items to an independent regionally recognized accounting firm, mutually agreeable to Buyer and the Securityholder. If Buyer and the Securityholder are unable to agree on the choice of an accounting firm within ten (10) days following the thirtieth (30th) day after delivery by the Securityholder of the Working Capital Dispute Notice, then the Accounting Firm will be selected jointly by a public accounting firm of recognized national or regional standing designated by Buyer and a public accounting firm of a recognized national or regional standing designated by the Securityholder. The accounting firm so selected by the parties or their designated accounting firms is referred to herein as the “Accounting Firm”. The Accounting Firm will promptly review only those unresolved items and amounts specifically set forth and objected to in the Working Capital Dispute Notice and resolve the dispute with respect to each such specific unresolved item and amount in accordance with this Agreement. The Accounting Firm shall be instructed in writing by Buyer and the Securityholder that the Accounting Firm must accept the Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet and Proposed Final Closing Statement except to the extent that it (i) was not prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles, (ii) contains mathematical errors, or (iii) contains an error, miscalculation, inaccuracy, omission or oversight that, if corrected, would be consistent with the parameters, process and procedures set forth in paragraph (c) above. In any such case, a single partner of the Accounting Firm selected by such Accounting Firm in accordance with its normal procedures and having expertise with respect to settlement of such disputes shall act for the Accounting Firm in the determination proceeding, and the Accounting Firm shall render a written decision as to each disputed matter, including a statement in reasonable detail of the basis for its decision. In no event shall the decision of the Accounting Firm (x) provide for a calculation of Net Working Capital that is less than the calculation thereof shown in the Proposed Final Closing Statement or greater than the Securityholder’s alternative calculation thereof shown in the Working Capital Dispute Notice, or (y) provide for a determination of any item of Indebtedness reflected in the Closing Debt Amount or any Company Expense that is greater in amount than the amount thereof shown in the Proposed Final Closing Statement or less in amount than the Securityholder’s alternative calculation thereof shown in the Working Capital Dispute Notice. The fees, costs, and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be apportioned between the Securityholder, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, by the Accounting Firm based upon the inverse proportion of the disputed amounts submitted to the Accounting Firm that are resolved in favor of such party (i.e., so that the prevailing party bears a lesser amount of such fees, costs, and expenses). Any fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm to be paid by the Securityholder, may, at the option of Buyer, be paid from the Escrow Amount. The decision of the Accounting Firm with respect to the disputed items of the Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet and the Proposed Final Closing Statement submitted to it will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties, absent manifest error. As used herein, the Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet and the Proposed Final Closing Statement, if there shall be no Working Capital Dispute Notice delivered pursuant to paragraph (d) above, or as adjusted to reflect any changes agreed to by the parties and the decision of the Accounting Firm, in each case, pursuant to this Section 1.5, are referred to herein as the “Final Closing Balance Sheet” and the

4

 

4862-8185-4004 v.19


 

Final Closing Statement”, respectively. Each of Buyer and the Securityholder agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Accounting Firm (including by executing a customary engagement letter reasonably acceptable to it) and to cause the Accounting Firm to resolve any such dispute as soon as practicable (but in no event later than sixty (60) Business Days) after the commencement of the Accounting Firm’s engagement.

(f) Purchase Price Adjustment. If any of the Phantom Share Amount, Net Working Capital, Closing Debt Amount, Company Cash, or Company Expenses (each as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.5 and as set forth in the Final Closing Balance Sheet and the Final Closing Statement) differs from the estimated amounts thereof set forth in the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and the Estimated Closing Statement, the Purchase Price shall be recalculated using such final figures in lieu of such estimated figures, and (i) the amount, if any, by which such Estimated Purchase Price paid at Closing in accordance with Sections 1.4 and 1.5(b) is less than such re-calculated Purchase Price shall be paid by Buyer to the Securityholder and the Company (for distribution to the Phantom Share Recipients), in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and (ii) the amount, if any, by which such Estimated Purchase Price paid at Closing in accordance with Sections 1.4 and 1.5(b) exceeds such re-calculated final Purchase Price shall be paid to Buyer by the Securityholder.

(g) Payments. Any payment due pursuant to Section 1.5(f) shall be made within five (5) Business Days after the final amount thereof has been determined in accordance with this Section 1.5.

1.6 Earnout.

(a) Total Revenue Earnout Payment. If earned as set forth in this Section 1.6(a), Buyer shall be obligated to make a one-time cash payment of up to the maximum aggregate amount of $17,000,000 (a “Total Revenue Earnout Payment”) to the Securityholder and to the Company (for distribution to the Participating Phantom Share Recipients), in accordance with the their Percentage Share of Earnout Payment set forth on Schedule I and based on the following calculation methodology:

(i) In the event that the Revenue of the Company is less than the Lower Limit Total Revenue Target during the Earnout Period, the Total Revenue Earnout Payment shall be an amount equal to $0;

(ii) In the event that the Revenue of the Company is equal to or greater than the Lower Limit Total Revenue Target but less than Upper Limit Total Revenue Target during the Earnout Period, the Total Revenue Earnout Payment shall be an amount based on the formula below:

Total Revenue Earnout Payment = ((Revenue of the Company during the Earnout Period less Lower Limit Total Revenue Target)/(Upper Limit Total Revenue Target minus Lower Limit Total Revenue Target)) multiplied by $17,000,000

5

 

4862-8185-4004 v.19


 

For illustrative purposes: (i) if the Base Revenue is $40,000,000; (ii) Revenue of the Company during the Earnout Period was $57,000,000, the Total Revenue Earnout Payment would be $4,009,879.59.

(iii) In the event that the Revenue of the Company is equal to or greater than the Upper Limit Total Revenue Target during the Earnout Period, the Total Revenue Earnout Payment shall be an amount equal to $17,000,000.

(iv) For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances will the Total Revenue Earnout Payment be greater than $17,000,000 and no Total Revenue Earnout Payment may be earned based on Revenue of the Company other than Revenue of the Company earned during the Earnout Period.

(b) Data Health Earnout Payment. If earned as set forth in this Section 1.6(b), Buyer shall be obligated to make a one-time cash payment of up to the maximum aggregate amount of $5,000,000 (a “Data Health Revenue Earnout Payment”) to the Securityholder and to the Company (for distributions to the Participating Phantom Share Recipients) in accordance with the their Percentage Share of Earnout Payment set forth on Schedule I based on the following calculation methodology:

(i) In the event that Data Health Operations Revenue is less than $4,000,000 during the Earnout Period, the Data Health Revenue Earnout Payment shall be an amount equal to $0.

(ii) In the event that Data Health Operations Revenue is equal to or greater than $4,000,000 but less than $6,000,000 during the Earnout Period, the Data Health Revenue Earnout Payment shall be an amount based on the formula below:

Data Health Revenue Earnout Payment = ((Data Health Operations Revenue during the Earnout Period less $4,000,000)/($2,000,000)) multiplied by $5,000,000.

For illustrative purposes, if the Data Health Operations Revenue during the Earnout Period was $5,900,000, the Data Health Revenue Earnout Payment would be $4,750,000.

(iii) In the event that Data Health Operations Revenue is equal to or greater than $6,000,000 during the Earnout Period, the Data Health Revenue Earnout Payment shall be an amount equal to $5,000,000.

(iv) For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances will the Data Health Revenue Earnout Payment be greater than $5,000,000 and no Data Health Revenue Earnout Payment may be earned based on Data Health Operations Revenue other than Revenue earned during the Earnout Period.

(c) Delivery of Earnout Calculations. Buyer shall deliver to the Securityholder, on or prior to March 15, 2025: (i) unaudited financial statements of Buyer or the Company, as applicable for determining the Revenue of the Company and the Data Health Operations Revenue, during the Earnout Period, and (ii) Buyer’s good faith calculations of Revenue of the Company

6

 

4862-8185-4004 v.19


 

and the Data Health Operations Revenue during the Earnout Period and the Total Revenue Earnout Payment and Data Health Revenue Payment calculated therefrom (the “Earnout Calculations”).

(d) Earnout Dispute Notice. The Earnout Calculations (and the proposed final determinations of the Total Revenue Earnout Payment and Data Health Revenue Earnout Payment) will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties hereto unless the Securityholder provide a written notice (an “Earnout Dispute Notice”) to Buyer no later than the thirtieth (30th) day after the delivery to the Securityholder of the Earnout Calculations. The Securityholder shall not be entitled to issue an Earnout Dispute Notice or otherwise dispute any item set forth in the Earnout Calculations except on the grounds that such matter (i) was not prepared in accordance with the New Accounting Policies, (ii) contains mathematical errors or (iii) contains an error, miscalculation, inaccuracy, omission or oversight that, if corrected, would be consistent with the parameters, process and procedures set forth in paragraph (c) above, and which dispute is bona fide and objected to in good faith. Any Earnout Calculation must set forth in reasonable detail (x) any item on the Earnout Calculation which the Securityholder believes has not been prepared in accordance with this Agreement and the correct amount of such item and (y) the Securityholder’s alternative calculation of the Total Revenue Earnout Payment and Data Health Revenue Earnout Payment, as the case may be, each as prepared in accordance with the New Accounting Policies. Any item or amount to which no dispute is raised in the Earnout Dispute Notice will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties on such thirtieth (30th) day.

(e) Earnout Resolution of Disputes. Buyer and the Securityholder will attempt to promptly resolve the matters raised in any Earnout Dispute Notice in good faith. Beginning ten (10) Business Days after delivery of any Earnout Dispute Notice pursuant to Section 1.6(d), either Buyer or the Securityholder may provide written notice to the other that it elects to submit the disputed items to the Accounting Firm. The Accounting Firm will promptly review only those unresolved items and amounts specifically set forth and objected to in the Earnout Dispute Notice and resolve the dispute with respect to each such specific unresolved item and amount in accordance with this Agreement. The Accounting Firm shall be instructed in writing by Buyer and the Securityholder that the Accounting Firm must accept the Earnout Calculations except to the extent that it (i) was not prepared in accordance with the New Accounting Policies, (ii) contains mathematical errors, or (iii) contains an error, miscalculation, inaccuracy, omission or oversight that, if corrected, would be consistent with the parameters, process and procedures set forth in paragraph (c) above. In any such case, a single partner of the Accounting Firm selected by such Accounting Firm in accordance with its normal procedures and having expertise with respect to settlement of such disputes shall act for the Accounting Firm in the determination proceeding, and the Accounting Firm shall render a written decision as to each disputed matter, including a statement in reasonable detail of the basis for its decision. In no event shall the decision of the Accounting Firm (x) provide for a calculation of Total Revenue Earnout Payment or the Data Health Revenue Earnout Payment that is less than the calculation thereof shown in the Earnout Calculation or greater than the Securityholder’s alternative calculation thereof shown in the Earnout Dispute Notice. The fees, costs, and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be apportioned between the Securityholder, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, by the Accounting Firm based upon the inverse proportion of the disputed amounts submitted to the Accounting Firm that are resolved in favor of such party (i.e., so that the prevailing party bears a lesser amount of such fees, costs, and expenses). Any fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm to be paid by the Securityholder, may, at the option of Buyer, be paid from the Escrow Amount. The decision of

7

 

4862-8185-4004 v.19


 

the Accounting Firm with respect to the disputed items of the Earnout Calculations submitted to it will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties. As used herein, the Earnout Calculation, if there shall be no Earnout Dispute Notice delivered pursuant to paragraph (d) above, or as adjusted to reflect any changes agreed to by the parties and the decision of the Accounting Firm, in each case, pursuant to this Section 1.6, are referred to herein as the “Final Earnout Calculation”. Each of Buyer and the Securityholder agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Accounting Firm (including by executing a customary engagement letter reasonably acceptable to it) and to cause the Accounting Firm to resolve any such dispute as soon as practicable (but in no event later than sixty (60) Business Days) after the commencement of the Accounting Firm’s engagement.

(f) Payments. Any payment due pursuant to Section 1.6(a) or Section 1.6(b) shall be made within five (5) Business Days after the Final Earnout Calculation thereof has been determined in accordance with this Section 1.6(f), and, if any such payment is not made within sixty (60) days after the Final Earnout Calculation thereof, interest shall accrue on such payment at the rate of 10% per annum from the date such payment was due until the date on which such payment is made.

(g) Off-Set. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer shall have the right to offset, against the Total Revenue Earnout Payment and the Data Health Revenue Earnout Payment earned by the Securityholder and payable (but not yet paid) by Buyer to the Securityholder, the aggregate amount of Losses, if any, finally determined pursuant to Section 8.5 as owed by the Securityholder to Buyer pursuant to Section 8.2; provided, that this Section 1.6(g) in no way extends the time periods set forth in Sections 1.6(a) through 1.6(f).

(h) Buyer Obligation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Selling Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) in no event shall anything in this Section 1.6 or any other provisions of this Agreement create or confer on Buyer or its Affiliates any, and Buyer and its Affiliates shall have absolutely no, obligation or duty, under contract, Law or otherwise, to the Selling Parties with respect to this Section 1.6 or otherwise, to operate itself or the Company after the Closing in any manner other than as Buyer (acting in its sole discretion) may determine, and (ii), Buyer shall have absolute sole discretion with respect to all matters related to itself and the operation of the Company (including the right to own, operate, use, license, develop, price or commercialize the products and services of the Company and its business), including matters that may affect or in any other way relate, directly or indirectly, to Revenue of the Company and Data Health Operations Revenue. The Selling Parties and Buyer intend the express provisions of this Agreement to govern their contractual relationship and to supersede any standard of efforts or implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing that might otherwise be imposed by any court or other Governmental Entity or Law or otherwise. The Selling Parties acknowledge that Buyer is not making, will not make and has not made any promise, projection or representation or warranty as to the amount or likelihood of any payments pursuant to this Section 1.6 being achieved or made and that such Person has not relied on any such promise, projection or representation or warranty, and each Selling Party understands that he may not receive any payments pursuant to this Section 1.6 if such payments are not earned pursuant to this Section 1.6. Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 1.6, Buyer will not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, take any action or make any decision whereby the sole purpose of such action or

8

 

4862-8185-4004 v.19


 

decision is to frustrate the achievement, reduce the amount, or reduce the likelihood of a Total Revenue Earnout Payment or a Data Health Revenue Earnout Payment.

(i) Tax Treatment. Any payments under this Section 1.6 shall be treated by all parties hereto as adjustments to the purchase price for applicable Tax purposes.

 

1.7 Withholding. Buyer, the Company (or its payroll provider), and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable hereunder any amounts that Buyer and the Company determine, pursuant to applicable Tax Law and in good faith after consulting with the Company’s advisors, are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of payments pursuant to this Agreement as required by the Code, or under any provision of state, local or foreign Law relating to Taxes; provided, that at least five (5) Business Days prior to making any deduction or withholding from any amounts not treated as compensation to any Employee, Buyer, the Company, or the Escrow Agent, as applicable, shall give the Securityholder notice of the intention to make such deduction or withholding and shall cooperate with the Securityholder to obtain reduction of or relief from such deduction or withholding. To the extent amounts are lawfully withheld and properly paid over to the taxing authority, the withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

1.8 Purchase Price Allocation. The Purchase Price will be allocated among the assets of the Company in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code (the “Allocation Methodology”). Within ninety (90) days after the determination of the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 1.5 (or such other time as Buyer and the Securityholder agree in writing), Buyer will deliver a draft allocation schedule using the Allocation Methodology (the “Allocation Schedule”) to the Securityholder. Within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such draft Allocation Schedule, the Securityholder will propose to Buyer in writing any objections or proposed changes to such draft Allocation Schedule (and in the event no such changes are proposed in writing to Buyer within such time period, the Securityholder will be deemed to have agreed to, and accepted, the Allocation Schedule). In the event of objections or proposed changes, the Securityholder and Buyer will attempt in good faith to resolve any differences between them with respect to the Allocation Schedule within ten (10) days (or such longer period as they may mutually agree) after Buyer’s receipt of a timely written notice of objection or proposed changes from the Securityholder. If the Securityholder and Buyer fail to reach an agreement despite their good-faith efforts within such time period, then those matters and amounts remaining in dispute (the “Disputed Allocation Amounts”) will be submitted to the Accounting Firm which, acting as experts and not arbitrators, will resolve the Disputed Allocation Amounts only, applying the Allocation Methodology, and make any necessary adjustments to the Allocation Schedule. The Accounting Firm will make a determination as soon as practicable within thirty (30) days (or such other time as Buyer and the Securityholder agree in writing) following their engagement, and their resolution of the Disputed Allocation Amounts and any resulting adjustments to the Allocation Schedule will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties. Fees and costs of the Accounting Firm shall be borne equally by Buyer and the Securityholder. Neither the Company nor any other party to this Agreement, nor their Affiliates will take any position, including filing IRS Form 8594, inconsistent with the Allocation Schedule, as finally determined.

Article V

TAX MATTERS

5.1 Certain Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the Transactions (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne and paid 50% by Buyer and 50% by the Securityholder when due. The Person required by Law to file the Tax Return with respect to any such Transfer Taxes, whether Buyer, the Company, or the Selling Parties (each, a “Transfer Party”), will timely file each necessary Tax Return and other documentation with respect to such Transfer Taxes, and if required by applicable Law, each other Transfer Party will join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation. Within fifteen (15) days after a Transfer Party’s filing of a Tax Return for the Transfer Taxes, such Transfer Party will provide the other Transfer Parties with copies of all such Tax Returns and evidence that all such Transfer Taxes have been paid.

5.2 Tax Returns.

(a) Securityholder-Prepared Returns. From and after the Closing Date, the Securityholder will prepare, or cause to be prepared, all required income Tax Returns of the Company for each Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date that have not been filed as of the Closing Date and are required to be filed after the Closing Date, including for those jurisdictions and taxing authorities that permit or require a short-period Tax Return for the Tax period ending on the Closing Date or the day before the Closing Date. Except as otherwise may be approved by Buyer, all such Tax Returns described in this Section 5.2(a) must be prepared (i) in accordance with applicable Law, and (ii) consistent with the past practices of the Company except as otherwise required by applicable Law. Buyer will be given a reasonable opportunity, and in no event less than twenty (20) days, for review, comment and approval (which may not be unreasonably withheld) on any such Tax Returns described in this Section 5.2(a). Thereafter, Buyer shall cause the Company to execute and timely file any such Tax Returns described in this Section 5.2(a) in the form as provided above in this subsection. The Securityholder will be responsible for paying all Taxes as shown due on such Tax Returns (to the extent such Taxes were not included in the Closing Debt Amount or Net Working Capital).

(b) Buyer-Prepared Returns. Buyer will prepare and timely file (or cause to be prepared and timely filed) all Tax Returns of the Company, other than those described in Section 5.2(a), that are due with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period that are due after the Closing. Except as otherwise may be approved by the Securityholder, all such Tax Returns described in this Section 5.2(b) must be prepared (i) in accordance with applicable Law, and (ii) consistent with the past practices of the Company except as otherwise required by appliable Tax Law. Buyer will provide any such income Tax Return and any other Tax Return that is a material Tax Return to the Securityholder at least twenty (20) days before the due date for filing of any such Tax Returns for review, comment, and approval (which may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Buyer shall cause the Company to execute and timely file any such income Tax Return and any other material Tax Returns described in this Section 5.2(b) in the form agreed to by the Securityholder and Buyer. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall not be required to provide any portion of Buyer’s Tax Return to the Securityholder under this Agreement.

46

 

4862-8185-4004 v.19


 

(c) Amendments. Without giving the Securityholder an opportunity to review and comment on and then obtaining the prior written consent of the Securityholder, none of Buyer or any of its Affiliates will, and after the Closing neither Buyer or any of its Affiliates will cause or permit the Company to, (i) amend, refile, make a refund claim for, or otherwise modify (or grant an extension of any statute of limitations with respect to) any Tax Return relating in whole or in part to the Company that relates to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or to any Straddle Period, (ii) make, revoke or change any Tax election with respect to the Company that has effect on or with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period of the Company, (iii) agree to the waiver or any extension of the statute of limitations relating to any Tax Return for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (including any Straddle Period) relating in whole or in part to the Company, or (iv) take any action on the Closing Date (other than as expressly contemplated by this Agreement) that is outside the Ordinary Course of Business that would be reasonably expected to result in a material increase in the Tax liability of the Securityholder (including under the indemnification provisions of Section 8.2); in each case, except as otherwise required by applicable Tax Law, provided, however, that the consent of the Securityholder shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed if the positions taken in, or actions taken with respect to, such Tax Returns or other filings will not affect the Tax liability of the Selling Parties (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any indemnification obligation with respect to Taxes pursuant to Section 8.2). Further, if such amended Tax Return or refund claim is reasonably expected to materially increase the Tax liability of a Selling Party (including any indemnification obligation with respect to Taxes pursuant to Section 8.2), the Securityholder, in all events, may withhold consent from any such amendment or claim proposed by or on behalf of Buyer, to the extent that the Tax Return filings of the Company, in the absence of filing such Tax Return or refund claim, would be in accordance with applicable Law.

5.3 Tax Contests. Notwithstanding Section 8.4, the interests of the Company before the relevant Governmental Entity with respect to any inquiry, assessment, Action, or other similar event relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period of the Company (a “Tax Matter”) shall be addressed in and governed by this Section 5.3. The Person or Persons that control (as set forth below) a Tax Matter will have the right, subject to the provisions below in this Section 5.3, to control the defense, compromise, or other resolution of any such Tax Matter, including responding to inquiries, filing Tax Returns, and contesting, defending against, and resolving any assessment for additional Taxes or notice of Tax deficiency or other adjustment of Taxes of, or relating to, such Tax Matter.

(a) So long as taxable periods of the Company ending on or before, or including, the Closing Date remain open for an assessment of Tax, Buyer (on behalf of itself and the Company) and the Securityholder will notify the other in writing within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt by either of them, or the receipt by their Affiliates (and for this purpose the Company shall be deemed to be an Affiliate of Buyer from and after the Closing ), of written notice of (i) any pending or threatened Tax Matter, and (ii) any other pending or threatened audit or assessment with respect to Taxes of Buyer, the Company, or any other Affiliate of Buyer that could reasonably be expected to affect the Tax liability of the Selling Parties (including any indemnification obligation with respect to Taxes pursuant to Section 8.2).

(b) Within fifteen (15) Business Days after the Securityholder’s receipt of a notice in respect of a Tax Matter to the extent that it relates to a taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date, the Securityholder may elect, so long as the Securityholder could reasonably be

47

 

4862-8185-4004 v.19


 

expected to be required to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Party hereunder with respect to any Taxes that are the subject of such Tax Matter, by written notice to Buyer, to contest the Tax Matter in the name of the Company. If the Securityholder so elects, the Securityholder (at the expense of the Securityholder) will control and be responsible for the defense of the item or items at issue, except that Buyer agrees to fully cooperate, and Buyer will cause the Company to fully cooperate, in the contest of such Tax Matter by making relevant documents and employees available to the Securityholder, and to execute, or cause the execution of, such documents (including powers of attorney) as may be reasonably necessary to allow the Securityholder to conduct the defense. If the Securityholder elects to conduct such a defense, then all decisions with respect to the negotiation or litigation of the item or items at issue in a Tax Matter described in this Section 5.3(b) will be made by the Securityholder and will be binding upon Buyer, provided that the Securityholder shall keep Buyer reasonably apprised of the status of the defense, allow Buyer the right to participate in such Tax Matter and shall not agree to any settlement of the Tax Matter without Buyer’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

(c) Buyer has the right to control the defense, compromise, or other resolution of any Tax Matter that relates to a Straddle Period or for any Tax Matter subject to Section 5.3(b) that the Securityholder declines to defend. If the Securityholder would be required to indemnify a Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 8.2 with respect to such Tax Matter, then: (i) the Securityholder has the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense of such Tax Matter and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from counsel employed by Buyer, and (ii) Buyer will not enter into any settlement of or otherwise compromise any such Tax Matter to the extent that it adversely affects the Tax liability of the Securityholder without the prior written consent of the Securityholder, which consent will not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld, or delayed.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this agreement to the contrary, Buyer agrees that it will not, and it will cause the Company not to, without the prior written consent of the Securityholder initiate or engage in ‎any voluntary disclosure proceedings or similar proceedings, agreements, or contractual obligations with any Governmental Entity relating to any and all Taxes of the ‎Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period (“Voluntary ‎Disclosure Proceedings”). The Securityholder will not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition such consent with respect to any matters of the Company that, in the absence of such Voluntary Disclosure Proceedings, are manifestly incorrect. In the event that Buyer initiates or engages in any Voluntary Disclosure Proceedings in breach of this Section 5.3(d), Buyer agrees that any Taxes resulting from such Voluntary Disclosure Proceedings will not be indemnifiable by the Selling Parties pursuant to Section 8.2(d).

5.4 Straddle Period. For all purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Taxes for any Straddle Period, the amount of Taxes allocable to the Pre-Closing Straddle Period shall be deemed to be (a) in the case of any sales or use Taxes, value-added Taxes, employment Taxes, withholding Taxes, and any Tax based upon or measured by income, receipts or profits earned during a taxable period, based upon occupancy during a taxable period, or imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible), the amount of any such Taxes determined as if such taxable period ended as of the end of the Pre-Closing Straddle Period; and (b) in the case of any other Taxes not described in clause (a) above and imposed on a periodic basis (such as real or personal property Taxes), the amount of Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of

48

 

4862-8185-4004 v.19


 

calendar days in the Pre-Closing Straddle Period and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire relevant Straddle Period. For purposes of these determinations, (i) any carryforward of charitable contribution deductions, Tax credits, or other Tax attributes from a Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date to a Straddle Period will be deemed to be used fully in the Pre-Closing Straddle Period before being used in the Post-Closing Straddle Period, (ii) the Phantom Share Amount and all Company Expenses that are allowed under applicable Tax Law in a Straddle Period shall be allocated to the Pre-Closing Straddle Period, and (iii) exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis will be allocated to the Pre-Closing Straddle Period in the same proportion as the number of calendar days during the Pre-Closing Straddle Period bears to the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period. The portion of Tax attributable to a Post-Closing Straddle Period will be calculated in a corresponding manner. For purposes of applying the foregoing determinations, any deductions attributable to the Phantom Share Amount, Company Expenses, repayment of Indebtedness, any employee bonuses, severance payments, debt prepayment fees, capitalized debt costs, or any other liabilities to the extent taken into account in the determination of Net Working Capital or otherwise for adjustments to the purchase price pursuant to Sections 1.3 or 1.5 shall be allocated to the Pre-Closing Straddle Period.

5.5 Refunds.

(a) Payment of Refunds and Credits. Any refunds (or credits against Tax in lieu of a refund) of Pre-Closing Taxes of the Company, including any such refund or credit of Pre-Closing Taxes in respect of the portion of any Pre-Closing Straddle Period, will be for the benefit of the Securityholder net of any applicable, actual, and reasonable, expenses directly incurred to a third party, except to the extent any such refund or credit is reflected as a current asset in the final Net Working Capital or Closing Debt Amount. Buyer shall cause such refunds or credit amounts to which the Securityholder is entitled under this Section 5.5 (including any interest received thereon) to be remitted, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to the Securityholder as if they were an additional amount of Purchase Price in a timely manner after the refund is received from the Tax authority or the due date of the Tax Return for the Company (or other Affiliate thereof) applying the credit in lieu of a refund or otherwise reflecting such reduction in liability for Taxes. For purposes of clarification, the Company has applied for refunds or credits of employee retention Tax credits under provisions of the CARES Act (as such provisions have been amended from time to time) and/or Code Section 3134 with respect to wages paid or incurred by the Company before the Closing (“ERCs”). Any such ERCs, whether refunded by the IRS or applied as a credit by or on behalf of the Company (or its successor(s) in interest), shall be for the benefit of the Securityholder, and the amount of all such ERCs (including any interest), whenever received or utilized, shall be processed and treated as amounts to which the Securityholder is entitled under this Section 5.5 except, and only to the extent, they were reflected in the final Net Working Capital or Closing Debt Amount. Other than with respect to Tax refunds of the ERCs, refunds shall only be payable by Buyer if received, utilized, or applied for within three (3) years of the Closing Date.

(b) Requests for Refunds or Amendments. The Securityholder may reasonably request the filing or making of any amended Tax Return or refund claim, at the Securityholder’s expense, and Buyer will make such revisions to such amended, refiled, or modified ‎Tax Return or refund claim as are reasonably requested by the Securityholder that (i) could ‎reasonably be expected to materially affect the Tax liability of the Securityholder (including pursuant to Section

49

 

4862-8185-4004 v.19


 

8.2), (ii) are not inconsistent with the past practices of the Company, and ‎‎(iii) are in accordance with applicable Tax Laws; provided, however, that Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Company after the Closing) ‎shall not be required to cooperate with the Securityholder in amending such Tax Returns or filing such a refund claim if it can reasonably be expected to materially increase the Taxes of Buyer or any of its Affiliates for any Tax period beginning after the Closing Date.

5.6 Conflicts. In the event of a conflict between this Article V and Article VIII, the provisions of this Article V will control.

4862-8185-4004 v.19


 

7.1 Confidentiality. From and after the Closing Date for a period of four (4) years, each Selling party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, hold, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its or their respective Representatives to hold, in confidence any and all proprietary information, whether written or oral, concerning the Company, except to the extent that such information (a) is generally available to and known by the public through no fault of such Selling Party, any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives; or (b) is lawfully acquired by such Selling Party, any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives from and after the Closing from sources which are not prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation. If a Selling Party or any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives are compelled to disclose any information by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Law, such Selling Party shall, to the extent reasonably possible and legally permissible, promptly notify Buyer in writing so that such Buyer may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. If such protective order or other appropriate remedy is not obtained, then such Selling Party will disclose only that portion of the information that is required to be disclosed and will use commercially reasonable efforts (at Buyer’s expense) to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such information.

7.2 Public Disclosure. Except as contemplated by this Agreement or as otherwise required by Law (including applicable securities Laws) or, as to Buyer and its Affiliates, by regulatory authority, listing agreement or court order, no disclosure (whether or not in response to an inquiry) of the existence or subject matter of this Agreement shall be made by any party hereto (including any third party representatives of Buyer, the Company, or the Selling Party) (other than any filing by Buyer with any Governmental Entity). The foregoing notwithstanding, the parties agree that Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer may issue a press release on or after the Closing Date in respect of the existence or subject matter of this Agreement.

7.3 Further Action. If, at any time after the Closing Date, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to preserve the benefits under any of the Disclosable Contracts for the Company and each Selling Party, if and as applicable, will, to the extent reasonably requested, cooperate with and assist Buyer and the Company in taking such action.

7.4 No Competition; No Solicitation.

(a) The Selling Parties shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, for a period commencing on the Closing Date and ending four (4) years after the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”): (i) engage in or assist others in engaging in the Restricted Business in the Territory; (ii) have an interest in any Person that engages directly or indirectly in the Restricted Business in the Territory in any capacity, including as a partner, shareholder, member, employee, principal, agent, trustee or consultant; or (iii) cause, induce or encourage any Person that is a material actual or prospective client, customer, supplier or licensor of the Company as of the Closing Date, or any other Person who has a material business relationship with the Company as of the Closing Date, to terminate or modify any such actual or prospective relationship. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Selling Party may own, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of any Person traded on any national securities exchange if the applicable Selling Party is not a controlling Person of, or a member of a group

52

 

4862-8185-4004 v.19


 

which controls, such Person and does not, directly or indirectly, own five percent (5%) or more of any class of securities of such Person.

(c) Each Selling Party acknowledges that a breach of this Section 7.4 would give rise to irreparable harm to Buyer, for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, and hereby agrees that in the event of a breach by such Selling Party or its Affiliates of any such obligations, Buyer shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to it in respect of such breach, be entitled to seek equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction (without any requirement to post bond).

(d) Each Selling Party acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 7.4 are fair and reasonable as to the subject matter, geographical scope and duration and necessary to protect the Company Intellectual Property and also to protect the value of the business of the Company and associated goodwill and the legitimate interests of Buyer and constitute a material inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that any covenant contained in this Section 7.4 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, product or service or other limitations permitted by applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then any court is expressly empowered to reform such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed reformed, in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, product or service or other limitations permitted by applicable Law. The covenants contained in this Section 7.4 and each provision hereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision as written shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction.

(e) With respect to the plans providing health coverage of Buyer or the Company, Buyer will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any eligibility waiting period or other limitations or exclusions otherwise applicable under such plans to new employees not to apply to a continuing employee or their covered dependents who were covered under a similar Company Benefit Plan on the Closing Date.

Following completion of all necessary actions by the Selling Parties to correct any compliance errors under ERISA or the Code with respect to the Company 401(k) Plan, as determined by Buyer, in its sole discretion, Buyer agrees to cause Buyer’s 401(k) Plan to allow each Continuing Employee to make a “direct rollover” to Buyer’s 401(k) Plan of the account balances of such Continuing Employee under the Company’s 401(k) Plan. Buyer further agrees to cooperate in good faith with the Selling Parties to take all actions as are reasonably requested by the Selling Parties to correct any compliance errors in the Company 401(k) Plan, including, without limitation, by causing an authorized representative of Buyer to execute any documents or correction applications that may be required to complete the necessary corrective action.

55

 

4862-8185-4004 v.19

Any review or access permitted to the Securityholder and its agents and representatives under this Section 7.11 will be conducted by the Securityholder and its agents and representatives in good faith, with a reasonable purpose and in a manner so as not to interfere unreasonably with the operations of Buyer or the Company following the Closing.

7.15 Current Litigation. In the event that the Company receives any payment (in settlement, as a judgment, or otherwise) in connection with the litigation matter set forth on Schedule 2.21, Buyer agrees to receive such payment for the account of the Securityholder and hold in trust and promptly pay to the Securityholder any such amount.

61

 

4862-8185-4004 v.19


 

(b) Objection. If the Indemnifying Party objects to the indemnification of an Indemnified Party in respect of any claim or claims specified in any Claim Certificate, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver a written notice to such effect to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such Claim Certificate. Thereafter, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties for a period of not less than sixty (60) days after receipt by the Indemnified Party of such written objection with respect to each of such claims to which the Indemnifying Party has objected. If the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party agree with respect to any of such claims, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall promptly prepare and sign a memorandum setting forth such agreement and, if applicable, an instruction to the Escrow Agent. Should the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party fail to agree as to any particular item or items or amount or amounts within such sixty (60) day period, then either party shall be entitled to pursue its available remedies for resolving its claim for indemnification.

(c) Third Party Claim Defense; Settlement. The Indemnifying Party will have thirty (30) days from the date on which the Indemnifying Party received a Claim Certificate in respect of a Third Party Claim to notify the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party desires to assume the defense or prosecution of such Third Party Claim and any litigation resulting therefrom with counsel of its choice and at its sole cost and expense (a “Third Party Defense”). If the Indemnifying Party assumes the Third Party Defense in accordance herewith, (i) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim but the Indemnifying Party shall control the investigation, defense and settlement thereof, (ii) the Indemnified Party will not file any papers or consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party and (iii) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim to the extent such judgment or settlement provides for equitable relief without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party. The parties will act in good faith in responding to, defending against, settling or otherwise dealing with such claims. The parties will also cooperate in any such defense and give each other reasonable access to all information relevant thereto to the extent permitted by applicable Law or applicable contractual restrictions, subject to entering into appropriate confidentiality agreements. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party has assumed the Third Party Defense, such Indemnifying Party will not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder for any settlement entered into or any judgment that was consented to without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(d) Defense; Settlement. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the Third Party Defense on which the Indemnifying Party received a Claim Certificate, the Indemnified Party will be entitled to assume the Third Party Defense, upon delivery of notice to such effect to the Indemnifying Party; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in the Third Party Defense at its sole cost and expense, but the Indemnified Party shall control the investigation, defense and settlement thereof, and the Indemnifying Party will not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder for any settlement entered into or any judgment that was consented to without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(e) Agreed Claims. Claims for Losses specified in any Claim Certificate to which the Indemnifying Party did not object in writing within thirty (30) days of receipt of such Claim Certificate, claims for Losses covered by a memorandum of agreement of the nature described in Section 8.5(b) and claims for Losses the validity and amount of which have been the subject of resolution by arbitration or of a final non-appealable judicial determination are hereinafter referred to, collectively, as “Agreed Claims.” Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to payment for any Agreed Claim within ten (10) Business Days of the determination of the amount of any such Agreed Claims.

(f) Transactions Consideration Adjustment. Buyer and the Securityholder agree to treat each indemnification payment pursuant to this Article VIII as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes and shall take no position contrary thereto unless required to do so by applicable Tax Law pursuant to a determination as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code.

(g) Escrow Amount.

(i) For purposes of securing the Selling Parties’ indemnification obligations under this Agreement, on the Closing Date Buyer is depositing the Escrow Amount with the Escrow Agent to be held in accordance with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. Upon Buyer’s determination that any Buyer Indemnified Party has suffered any Loss that is subject to indemnification by the Selling Parties hereunder after giving effect to all limitations set forth herein, Buyer will promptly deliver a copy of the Claim Notice to the Escrow Agent.

(c) If the Selling Parties so desire, and without the need for any consent or waiver by Buyer or any of its Affiliates, WRYP will be permitted to represent the Selling Parties after the

83
