Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We and our affiliated dental practices have been named as a defendant in lawsuits from time to time in the normal course of business, primarily for employment liability, alleged negligence in care or general liability and contractual business disputes. We do not believe any pending lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on our operating results, cash flows, liquidity or financial position.
In 2024, multiple claims were filed against us in state and federal courts in Minnesota based on a data breach event. Subsequently, certain of the claims were dismissed; however, the putative class action suit in Minnesota District Court entitled, In re Park Dental Data Breach Litigation , Case No. 27-CV-24-12335, Fourth Judicial District, County of Hennepin, State of Minnesota continues. We anticipate the settlement of this matter is now probable. We expect the settlement, net of insurance recoveries, will have an immaterial impact to our financial statements as we anticipate the costs to settle will be fully recovered under our insurance policy coverage.
