OSI SYSTEMS INC 10-K

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In December 2017, a short seller released a report regarding our compliance with the FCPA. Following that report, we and certain of our executive officers have been named as defendants in several lawsuits in the United States District Court for the Central District of California (the "District Court") that were filed in December 2017 and February 2018. Each of the complaints closely tracks the allegations set forth in the short seller’s report. All of the actions, which were consolidated by the District Court in March 2018 in an action captioned Arkansas Teacher Retirement System et al. v. OSI Systems, Inc. et al. , No. 17 cv 08841, allege violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, relating to certain of our public statements and filings with the SEC, and seek damages and other relief based upon the allegations in the complaints. In April 2018 and March 2019, two shareholder derivative complaints were filed purportedly on behalf of the Company against certain members of our Board of Directors (as individual defendants), a former member of our Board of Directors, and a member of management. The derivative actions, which were consolidated by the District Court in November 2019 in an action captioned Kocen and Riley v. Chopra, et al. No. 18 CV 03371, allege, among other things, breach of fiduciary duties relating to the allegations contained in the above-mentioned short seller report and seek damages, restitution, injunctive relief, attorneys’ and experts’ fees, costs, expenses, and other unspecified relief. We believe that the actions are without merit and intend to defend them vigorously, and we expect to incur costs associated with defending against these actions. At this early stage of the litigations, the ultimate outcomes are uncertain and we cannot reasonably predict the timing or outcomes, or estimate the amount of loss, if any, or their effect, if any, on our financial statements. The SEC and the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) are conducting an investigation of trading in our securities and have each subpoenaed information regarding trading by executives, directors, and employees, as well as our operations and disclosures in and around the time of certain trades. With respect to these trading related matters, in fiscal year 2018, we took action with respect to a senior level employee. At this time, we are unable to predict what, if any, action may be taken by the DOJ or SEC as a result of these trading related investigations, or any penalties or remedial measures these agencies may seek. We place a high priority on compliance with our anticorruption and securities trading policies and are cooperating with each of the government investigations. We are involved in various other claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion after consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of such proceedings is not likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. We have not accrued for loss contingencies relating to any such matters because we believe that, although unfavorable outcomes in the proceedings are possible, they are not considered by management to be probable and reasonably estimable. If one or more of these matters are resolved in a manner adverse to our company, the impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be material. ​ ITEM 4.
