NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
Business
NortonLifeLock, Inc. is a leading provider of consumer Cyber Safety solutions globally. We help customers protect their devices, online privacy, identity and home networks.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States of America for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, except as otherwise noted, necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 3, 2020. The results of operations for the nine months ended January 1, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the entire fiscal year.
We have a 52/53-week fiscal year ending on the Friday closest to March 31. Unless otherwise stated, references to three and nine-month periods in this report relate to fiscal periods ended January 1, 2021 and January 3, 2020. The three and nine months ended January 1, 2021 consisted of 13 and 39 weeks, respectively, whereas the three and nine months ended January 3, 2020 consisted of 13 and 40 weeks, respectively. Our 2021 fiscal year consists of 52 weeks and ends on April 2, 2021.
Use of estimates
The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, valuation of business combinations including acquired intangible assets and goodwill, loss contingencies, the recognition and measurement of current and deferred income taxes, including the measurement of uncertain tax positions, and valuation of assets and liabilities and results of operations of our discontinued operations. Management determines these estimates and assumptions based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable. Actual results could differ from such estimates and assumptions due to risks and uncertainties, including uncertainty in the current economic environment due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and such differences may be material to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Significant accounting policies
There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies as of and for the nine months ended January 1, 2021, except for those noted in Note 2, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 3, 2020.
Note 2. Recent Accounting Standards
Recently adopted authoritative guidance
Credit Losses. In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new authoritative guidance on credit losses which changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. On April 4, 2020, the first day of our fiscal 2021, we adopted the new guidance using the modified retrospective transition method. Upon adoption, we utilized a new forward-looking “expected loss” model to replace the incurred loss impairment model for our accounts receivable and other financial assets. Additionally, for available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, we discontinued using the concept of “other than temporary” impairment and recognized the estimated credit loss as allowances. The cumulative effect from the adoption of this guidance was immaterial to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Internal-Use Software. In August 2018, the FASB issued new guidance that clarifies the accounting for implementation costs in a cloud computing arrangement. The new guidance aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. On April 4, 2020, we adopted the new guidance prospectively. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Recently issued authoritative guidance not yet adopted
Income taxes . In December 2019, the FASB issued new guidance that simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The guidance also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. The standard will be effective for us in our first quarter of fiscal 2022, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the adoption date and the impact of the adoption of this guidance on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures.
9
Table of Contents
Debt with Conversion and Other options . In August 2020, the FASB issued new guidance that simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments. The new guidance removes from GAAP the separation models for convertible debt with embedded conversion features. As a result, after adopting the guidance, entities will no longer separately present embedded conversion features in equity. Instead, they will account for the convertible debt wholly as debt. The new guidance also requires use of the if-converted method when calculating the dilutive impact of convertible debt on earnings per share. The standard will be effective for us in our first quarter of fiscal 2023, with early adoption permitted beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. It may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with cumulative effect recognized in retained earnings as of the date of adoption. We are currently evaluating the adoption date and the impact of the adoption of this guidance on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures.
Although there are several other new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB that we have adopted or will adopt, as applicable, we do not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had, or will have, a material impact on our consolidated financial position, operating results or disclosures.
Note 3. Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale
Discontinued operations
On November 4, 2019, we completed the sale of certain of our Enterprise Security assets and certain liabilities to Broadcom Inc. (the Broadcom sale). As a result, the majority of the results of our Enterprise Security business were classified as discontinued operations in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and thus excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented.
In connection with the Broadcom sale, we entered into a transition services agreement under which we provided assistance to Broadcom including, but not limited to, business support services and information technology services. During the nine months ended January 1, 2021, the transition services were completed. Dedicated direct costs, net of charges to Broadcom, for these transition services were $ 0 million and $ 9 million during the three and nine months ended January 1, 2021, respectively, and $ 5 million during the three and nine months ended January 3, 2020. These direct costs were presented as part of Other income, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
On October 1, 2020, we entered into multiple agreements with Broadcom for an aggregate amount of $ 200 million. We licensed Broadcom’s enterprise software, multiple security engines and related telemetry for 5.6 years, which will be amortized to continuing operations over the term of the license. In addition, we resolved all outstanding payments and certain claims related to the asset purchase and transition services agreements, which is included in discontinued operations.
The following table presents information regarding certain components of incom e (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes:

Assets held for sale
During the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2020, we reclassified certain land and buildings previously reported as property and equipment to assets held for sale when the properties were approved for immediate sale in their present condition and the sale was expected to be completed within one year.
We continue to actively market the properties for sale; however, in fiscal 2021, the real estate market has been adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has delayed the expected timing of sale. We have taken into consideration the current real estate values and demand, and continue to execute plans to sell these properties. As of January 1, 2021, these assets are classified as assets held for sale. During the nine months ended January 1, 2021, there were no impairments because the fair value of the properties less costs to sell either equals or exceeds their carrying value.

Table of Contents
On July 27, 2020, we completed the sale of certain properties, including land, buildings, furniture and fixtures, and leasehold improvements, for cash consideration of $ 118 million, net of selling costs. We recognized a gain of $ 35 million on the sale.
Note 4. Revenues
Contract liabilities
During the three and nine months ended January 1, 2021, we recognized $ 450 million and $ 971 million from the contract liabilities balance at October 2, 2020 and April 3, 2020, respectively. During the three and nine months ended January 3, 2020, we recognized $ 430 million and $ 951 million from the contract liabilities balance at October 4, 2019 and March 29, 2019, respectively.
Remaining performance obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent contracted revenue that has not been recognized, which include contract liabilities and amounts that will be billed and recognized as revenue in future periods. As of January 1, 2021, we had $ 738 million of remaining performance obligations (excluding customer deposit liabilities of $ 397 million), of which we expect to recognize approximately 94 % as revenue over the next twelve months .

Note 7. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
For financial instruments measured at fair value, fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact, and we consider assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.
The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are:
• Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
• Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in less active markets or model-derived valuations. All significant inputs used in our valuations, such as discounted cash flows, are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated with observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
• Level 3: Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of assets or liabilities. We monitor and review the inputs and results of these valuation models to help ensure the fair value measurements are reasonable and consistent with market experience in similar asset classes.

Repayments of Convertible Senior Notes
In February 2020, we exchanged $ 250 million of our 2.5 % Convertible Notes and $ 625 million of our 2.0 % Convertible Notes for new convertible notes of the same principal amounts and certain cash consideration. In May 2020, we settled the $ 625 million principal and conversion rights of the 2.0 % Convertible Senior Notes in cash. The aggregate settlement amount of $ 1,179 million was based on $ 19.25 per underlying share into which the 2.0 % Convertible Notes were convertible. In addition, we paid

Delayed draw term loan
On September 14, 2020, we drew a term loan of $ 750 million (the Delayed Draw Term Loan) under an existing credit facility agreement. The Delayed Draw Term Loan bears i nterest at LIBOR, as adjusted for statutory reserves, plus a margin ranging from 1.125 % to 1.75 %. The pr incipal amount of the Delayed Draw Term Loan is repayable in quarterly installments on the last business day of each calendar quarter, commencing with the quarter ended March 31, 2021 in an amount equal to 1.25 % of the aggregate principal amount that was outstanding immediately after the borrowings of the Delayed Draw Term Loan and in the outstanding principal amount upon the November 2024 maturity date. We may voluntarily repay outstanding principal balances without penalty.
Repayments of Senior Notes
On September 15, 2020, we fully repaid the principal and accrued interest under the 4.2 % Senior Notes due September 2020, which had an aggregate principal amount outstanding of $ 750 million.
Revolving credit facility
We have a revolving line of credit of $ 1,000 million through November 2024. Borrowings under the revolving line of credit bear interest at a floating rate based on our debt ratings and our consolidated leverage ratios. The unused revolving line of credit is subject to a commitment fee ranging from 0.125 % to 0.30 % per annum. As of January 1, 2021 and April 3, 2020, there were no borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facilities.
Debt covenant compliance
Our term loan and revolving credit facility agreement contains customary representations and warranties, non-financial covenants for financial reporting, affirmative and negative covenants, including a covenant that we maintain a consolidated leverage ratio of not more than 5.25 to 1.0, or 5.75 to 1.0 if we acquire assets or business in an aggregate amount greater than $ 250 million, and restrictions on indebtedness, liens, investments, stock repurchases, and dividends (with exceptions permitting our regular quarterly dividend and other specific capital returns). As of January 1, 2021 , we were in compliance with all debt covenants.
Note 10. Derivatives
We conduct business in numerous currencies throughout our worldwide operations, and our entities hold monetary assets or liabilities, earn revenues, or incur costs in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency. As a result, we are exposed to foreign exchange gains or losses which impacts our operating results. As part of our foreign currency risk mitigation strategy, we have entered into foreign exchange forward contracts with up to twelve months in duration. We do not use derivative financial
16
Table of Contents
instruments for speculative trading purposes, nor do we hedge our foreign currency exposure in a manner that entirely offsets the effects of the changes in foreign exchange rates.
We enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge foreign currency balance sheet exposure. These forward contracts are not designated as hedging instruments. As of January 1, 2021 and April 3, 2020, the fair value of these contracts was insignificant. The related gain (loss) recognized in Other income, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations was as follows:

The fair value of our foreign exchange forward contracts is presented on a gross basis in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. To mitigate losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties, we have entered into master netting arrangements with our counterparties that allow us to settle payments on a net basis. The effect of netting on our derivative assets and liabilities was not material as of January 1, 2021 and April 3, 2020.
The notional amount of our outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts in U.S. dollar equivalent was as follows:
(In millions) January 1, 2021 April 3, 2020
Foreign exchange forward contracts purchased $ 307 $ 362
Foreign exchange forward contracts sold $ 133 $ 57
Note 11. Restructuring and Other Costs
Our restructuring and other costs consist primarily of severance, contract cancellations, separation, and other related costs. Severance costs generally include severance payments, outplacement services, health insurance coverage, and legal costs. Included in other exit and disposal costs are advisory fees incurred in connection with restructuring events. Separation costs primarily consist of consulting costs incurred in connection with our divestitures.
November 2019 Plan
In November 2019, our Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan (the November 2019 Plan) in connection with the strategic decision to divest our Enterprise Security business. Actions under this plan included the reduction of our workforce as well as asset write-offs and impairments, contract terminations, facilities closures, and the sale of underutilized facilities. These actions were substantially completed in the second quarter of fiscal 2021. As of January 1, 2021, we have incurred total costs of $ 503 million under the November 2019 Plan.
In connection with the Broadcom sale, our Board of Directors also approved an equity-based severance program under which certain equity awards held by certain terminated employees were accelerated. As of January 1, 2021, we have incurred $ 126 million of stock-based compensation related to our equity-based severance program. See Note 14 for more information on the impact of this program.

Note 12. Income Taxes

Income tax expense $ 80 $ 57 $ 95 $ 133
Effective tax rate 32 % 14 % 16 % 24 %
Our effective tax rate for income from continuing operations for the three months ended January 1, 2021 differs from the federal statutory income tax rate primarily due to taxes in foreign jurisdictions in excess of the federal statutory rate, and state taxes, partially offset by the benefits of lower-tax international earnings and stock-based compensation. Our effective tax rate for income from continuing operations for the nine months ended January 1, 2021 differs from the federal statutory income tax rate primarily due to the gain on selling a building, taxes in foreign jurisdictions in excess of the federal statutory rate, and state taxes, partially offset by the benefits of lower-tax international earnings, a favorable withholding tax ruling in Japan, and stock-based compensation.
Our effective tax rate for income from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended January 3, 2020 differs from the federal statutory income tax rate, primarily due to tax expense related to the Ninth Circuit's holding in Altera Corp. v. Commissioner (which the Supreme Court declined to review in June 2020), a discrete tax charge recorded to account for the sale of the equity investment in DigiCert Parent Inc. (DigiCert), various permanent differences, and state taxes, partially offset by the benefits of lower-tax international earnings and the research and development tax credit.
The aggregate changes in the balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits for the nine months ended January 1, 2021 were as follows:
(In millions)
Balance as of April 3, 2020 $ 724

Table of Contents
The timing of the resolution of income tax examinations is highly uncertain, and the amounts ultimately paid, if any, upon resolution of the issues raised by the taxing authorities may differ materially from the amounts accrued for each year. Given the potential resolution of uncertain tax positions involves multiple tax periods and jurisdictions, we are unable to accurately estimate when these unrecognized tax benefits will be realized or released. However, it is reasonably possible that there could be significant changes to our unrecognized tax benefits in the next 12 months.
We continue to monitor the progress of ongoing income tax controversies and the impact, if any, of the expected expiration of the statute of limitations in various taxing jurisdictions.
Note 13. Stockholders' Equity
Preferred stock
On May 22, 2020, we filed a Certificate of Elimination of Series A Junior Preferred Stock (the “Junior Preferred Stock”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, to remove the Certificate of Designations of the Junior Preferred Stock from our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. The Certificate of Elimination became effective upon filing. No shares of the Junior Preferred Stock were issued or outstanding upon filing of the Certificate of Elimination.
Dividends
On February 4, 2021, we announced that our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $ 0.125 per share of common stock to be paid in March 2021. All shares of common stock issued and outstanding and all restricted stock units (RSUs) and performance-based restricted stock units (PRUs) as of the record date will be entitled to the dividend and dividend equivalent rights (DERs), respectively, which will be paid out if and when the underlying shares are released. Any future dividends and DERs will be subject to the approval of our Board of Directors.
Stock repurchase program
Under our stock repurchase program, we may purchase shares of our outstanding common stock through open market and through accelerated stock repurchase transactions. As of January 1, 2021, we had $ 420 million remaining under the authorization to be completed in future periods with no expiration date.

The amount of DERs equals the amount of cumulated dividends on the issued number of common stock that would have been payable since the date the associated award was granted. As of January 1, 2021 and April 3, 2020, current dividends payable related to DER was $ 12 million and $ 62 million, respectively, recorded as part of Other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and long-term dividends payable related to DER was $ 10 million and $ 31 million, respectively, recorded as part of Other long-term liabilities.
Stock-based award modifications
In connection with the Broadcom sale, during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, we entered into severance and retention arrangements with certain executives. Pursuant to these agreements, these executives are entitled to receive vesting of 50 % of their unvested equity, subject to a service condition, and the remaining unvested equity may be earned at levels of 0 % to 150 %, subject to market and service conditio ns. In addition, during the nine months ended January 1, 2021 and fiscal 2020, we entered into severance and retention arrangements with certain other employees in connection with restructuring activities and the Broadcom sale, which accelerated either a portion or all of the vesting of their stock-based awards.

Note 15. Net Income Per Share
Basic income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share also includes the incremental effect of dilutive potentially issuable common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potentially issuable common shares include the dilutive effect of the shares underlying convertible debt and employee equity awards.

Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies
Purchase obligations
As of January 1, 2021, we had purchase obligations of $ 343 million associated with agreements for purchases of goods or services. The amount of purchase obligations reflects estimated future payments as of January 1, 2021 according to the contract terms.
Deemed repatriation taxes
As of January 1, 2021, we are required to pay a one-time transition tax of $ 585 million on untaxed foreign earnings of our foreign subsidiaries due in installments through July 2025 as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
Indemnifications
In the ordinary course of business, we may provide indemnifications of varying scope and terms to customers, vendors, lessors, business partners, subsidiaries, and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of our breach of agreements or representations and warranties made by us. In addition, our bylaws contain indemnification obligations to our directors, officers, employees, and agents, and we have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and certain of our officers to give such directors and officers additional contractual assurances regarding the scope of the indemnification set forth in our bylaws and to provide additional procedural protections. We maintain director and officer insurance, which may cover certain liabilities arising from our obligation to indemnify our directors and officers. It is not possible to determine the aggregate maximum potential loss under these indemnification agreements due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Such indemnification agreements might not be subject to maximum loss clauses. Historically, we have not incurred material costs as a result of obligations under these agreements, and we have not accrued any material liabilities related to such indemnification obligations in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In connection with the sale of Veritas and the sale of our Enterprise Security business to Broadcom, we assigned several leases to Veritas Technologies LLC or Broadcom and/or their related subsidiaries. As a condition to consenting to the assignments, certain lessors required us to agree to indemnify the lessor under the applicable lease with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of Veritas Technologies LLC, Broadcom, or their related subsidiaries’ breach of payment obligations under the terms of the lease. As with our other indemnification obligations discussed above and in general, it is not possible to determine the aggregate maximum potential loss under these indemnification agreements due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. As with our other indemnification obligations, such indemnification agreements might not be subject to maximum loss clauses, and to date, generally under our real estate obligations, we have not incurred material costs as a result of such obligations under our leases and have not accrued any liabilities related to such indemnification obligations in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
We provide limited product warranties, and the majority of our software license agreements contain provisions that indemnify licensees of our software from damages and costs resulting from claims alleging that our software infringes on the intellectual property rights of a third party. Historically, payments made under these provisions have been immaterial. We monitor the conditions that are subject to indemnification to identify if a loss has occurred.
Litigation contingencies
SEC Investigation
As previously disclosed in our public filings, the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors (the Audit Committee) completed its internal investigation (the Audit Committee Investigation) in September 2018. In connection with the Audit Committee Investigation, we voluntarily contacted the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in April 2018. The SEC commenced a formal investigation, and we continue to cooperate with that investigation. The outcome of such an investigation is difficult to predict. We have incurred, and will continue to incur, significant expenses related to legal and other professional services in connection with the SEC investigation. At this stage, we are unable to assess whether any material loss or adverse effect is reasonably possible as a result of the SEC’s investigation or estimate the range of any potential loss.
Securities Class Action and Derivative Litigation
Securities class action lawsuits, which have since been consolidated, were filed in May 2018 against us and certain of our former officers, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The lead plaintiff’s consolidated amended complaint alleged that, during a purported class period of May 11, 2017 to August 2, 2018, defendants made false and misleading statements in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a), and that certain individuals violated Section 20A, of the Securities Exchange Act. Defendants filed motions to dismiss, which the Court granted in an order dated June 14, 2019. Pursuant to that order, plaintiff filed a motion seeking leave to amend and a proposed first amended complaint on July 11, 2019. The Court granted the motion in part on October 2, 2019 and the first amended complaint was filed on October 11, 2019. The Court’s order dismissed certain claims against certain of our former officers. Defendants filed answers on November 7, 2019. A trial date has been set for June 14, 2021.
Purported shareholder derivative lawsuits have been filed against us and certain of our former officers and current and former directors in the U.S. District Courts for the District of Delaware and the Northern District of California, Delaware Chancery Court, and Delaware Superior Court, arising generally out of the same facts and circumstances as alleged in the securities class action and alleging claims for breach of fiduciary duty and related claims; these lawsuits include an action brought derivatively on behalf

of our 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The derivative actions are currently voluntarily stayed in light of the securities class action. No specific amount of damages has been alleged in these lawsuits. We have also received demands from purported stockholders to inspect corporate books and records under Delaware law.
We will continue to incur legal fees in connection with these pending cases and demands, including expenses for the reimbursement of legal fees of present and former officers and directors under indemnification obligations. The expense of continuing to defend such litigation may be significant. We intend to defend these lawsuits vigorously, but there can be no assurance that we will be successful in any defense. If any of the lawsuits are decided adversely, we may be liable for significant damages directly or under our indemnification obligations, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and cash flows.
At this stage, we are unable to assess whether any material loss or adverse effect is reasonably possible as a result of these lawsuits or estimate the range of any potential loss.
GSA
During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, we were advised by the Commercial Litigation Branch of the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Civil Division and the Civil Division of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia that the government is investigating our compliance with certain provisions of our U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Multiple Award Schedule Contract No. GS-35F-0240T effective January 24, 2007, including provisions relating to pricing, country of origin, accessibility, and the disclosure of commercial sales practices.
As reported on the GSA’s publicly-available database, our total sales under the GSA Schedule contract were approximately $ 222 million from the period beginning January 2007 and ending September 2012. We fully cooperated with the government throughout its investigation, and in January 2014, representatives of the government indicated that their initial analysis of our actual damages exposure from direct governme nt sales under the GSA Schedule contract was approximately $ 145 million; since the initial meeting, the government’s analysis of our potential damages exposure relating to direct sales has increased. The government also indicated they are going to pursue claims for certain sales to California, Florida, and New York as well as sales to the federal government through reseller GSA Schedule co ntracts, which could significantly increase our potential damages exposure.
In 2012, a sealed civil lawsuit was filed against us related to compliance with the GSA Schedule contract and contracts with California, Florida, and New York. On July 18, 2014, the Court-imposed seal expired, and the government intervened in the lawsuit. On September 16, 2014, the states of California and Florida intervened in the lawsuit, and the state of New York notified the Court that it would not intervene. On October 3, 2014, the DOJ filed an amended complaint, which did not state a specific damages amount. On October 17, 2014, California and Florida combined their claims with those of the DOJ and the relator on behalf of New York in an Omnibus Complaint, and a First Amended Omnibus Complaint was filed on October 8, 2015; the state claims also do not state specific damages amounts. On June 6, 2019, we filed a motion seeking summary judgment on all claims asserted by all plaintiffs, and the plaintiffs filed a motion for partial summary judgment on elements of liability on their claims. On October 21, 2019, the DOJ moved for a Prejudgment Writ of Sequestration for the Company to set aside $ 1,090 million to pay a judgment, should the United States prevail in this litigation, under the Federal Debt Collection Procedures Act. The Writ was sought in response to the Company’s announcement of its plans to distribute the after-tax proceeds of the sale of the Symantec enterprise business to Broadcom to its shareholders via a special dividend. The Court denied the Writ on December 12, 2019, on the basis of the Government’s failure to establish the “probable validity” of the debt, the amount sought to be sequestered, and the Company’s available cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. The Court permitted the DOJ limited discovery of facts relevant to the Company’s financial state and financial projections and the option to renew its motion if appropriate and supported by the analysis of its own financial expert. That discovery period has now closed. On March 30, 2020, the Court issued an Order granting in part and denying in part our motion for summary judgment and granting in part and denying in part the United States’ motion for partial summary judgment. On May 5, 2020, the Court ordered the parties to mediation, which concluded on September 4, 2020 without resolving the matter. On August 6, 2020, the Court set a trial date of August 2, 2021. On September 15, 2020, the Court ordered the parties to a further mediation, which is expected to occur in or about February 2021. On September 30, 2020, the Company filed a Motion for Reconsideration of certain rulings in the Court’s March 30 Summary Judgment Order. At this time, our current estimate of the low end of the range of probable estimated losses from this matter is $ 50 million, which we have accrued. It is possible that the litigation could lead to claims or findings of violations of the False Claims Act and could be material to our results of operations and cash flows for any period. Resolution of False Claims Act investigations can ultimately result in the payment of somewhere between one and three times the actual damages proven by the government, plus civil penalties. There is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred in excess of our accrual for this matter.
Avila v. LifeLock et al
On August 29, 2019, the Ninth Circuit issued a mandate remanding a securities class action lawsuit, originally filed on July 22, 2015, against our subsidiary, LifeLock, as well as certain of LifeLock’s former officers (the “LifeLock Defendants”) for further proceedings in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona. The Ninth Circuit had affirmed in part and reversed in part the August 21, 2017 decision of the District Court, which had dismissed the case with prejudice. The complaint in the remanded action alleges that, during a purported class period of July 30, 2014 to July 21, 2015, a period that predates our acquisition of LifeLock, the LifeLock Defendants made false and misleading statements in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act. In fiscal 2020, we settled this lawsuit and recorded a charge of $ 20 million in General and administrative expenses. The United States District Court for the District of Arizona approved the settlement on July 21, 2020.

Other
We are involved in a number of other judicial and administrative proceedings that are incidental to our business. Although adverse decisions (or settlements) may occur in one or more of the cases, it is not possible to estimate the possible loss or losses from each of these cases. The final resolution of these lawsuits, individually or in the aggregate, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
Note 18. Subsequent Event
On December 7, 2020, we entered into an agreement to acquire Avira for approximately $ 360 million in cash. Avira provides a consumer-focused portfolio of cybersecurity and privacy solutions primarily in Europe and key emerging markets. We believe this acquisition will help us accelerate our international growth. The transaction closed on January 8, 2021. Although the purchase price allocation for this acquisition is not yet available, we expect a substantial majority of the purchase price will be allocated to goodwill and intangible assets. We estimate that we will incur total costs up to $ 20 million to realize cost savings and operational synergies in connection with this acquisition.
