Note 7– Commitments and Contingencies

 

Escrow Receivable

 

Pursuant to the terms of the asset purchase agreement we entered into with Mylan Consumer Healthcare Inc. (formerly known as Meda Consumer Healthcare Inc.) (“MCH”) and Mylan Inc. (together with MCH, “Mylan”), we, Mylan, and an escrow agent entered into an Escrow Agreement at the closing of the Cold-EEZE® business sale, pursuant to which Mylan deposited $5 million of the aggregate purchase price for the Cold-EEZE® business into an escrow account established with the Escrow Agent in order to satisfy, in whole or in part, certain of our indemnification obligations under the asset purchase agreement. Other than certain fundamental representations which survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, our representations and warranties under the agreement expired 24 months after the closing date, which was March 29, 2017.

 

On May 4, 2020, the final pending claim against our escrow account with Mylan was resolved and, as a result, the Escrow Agent released all funds from the escrow account to us on May 7, 2020, in the amount of $4.8 million.

 

Manufacturing Agreement

 

In connection with the asset purchase agreement, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, PMI, entered into a manufacturing agreement (the “Manufacturing Agreement”) with Mylan. Pursuant to the terms of the Manufacturing Agreement, Mylan (or an affiliate or designee) purchased the inventory of the Company’s Cold-EEZE® brand and product line, and PMI agreed to manufacture certain products for Mylan, as described in the Manufacturing Agreement, at prices that reflect current market conditions for such products and include an agreed upon mark-up on our costs. Unless terminated sooner by the parties, the Manufacturing Agreement will remain in effect until March 29, 2022. Thereafter, the Manufacturing Agreement may be renewed by Mylan for up to five successive one-year periods by providing notice of its intent to renew not less than 90 days prior to the expiration of the then-current term.

Litigation

 

On November 12, 2019, an action was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against TK Supplements, Inc., one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries (“TK Sub”), asserting two class action claims and alleging that, by sending plaintiff text messages to his cellular telephone number without his prior express consent and notwithstanding its listing on the Do No Call Registry, TK Sub violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C. § 227(b)(3)(B) and 47 U.S.C. § 227(c)(5). Plaintiff seeks to represent a class of (i) all residents within the United States to whom TK Sub or its agents sent text messages to the person’s cellular telephone number in the past four years and (ii) all residents within the United States to whom TK Sub or its agents placed two or more telemarketing phone calls to the person’s residential telephone number that was listed on the Do Not Call Registry in the past four years. On January 8, 2020, TK Sub filed its Answer and Defenses to the Complaint. On August 26, 2020, we settled this matter with the plaintiff and agreed to pay $5,000 in exchange for a customary release.

 

In the normal course of our business, we may be named as a defendant in legal proceedings. It is our policy to vigorously defend litigation or to enter into a reasonable settlements where management deems it appropriate.
