Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On January 6, 2020, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, Scott Crane, filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas alleging various claims in connection with
the Company’s termination of his employment in July 2019. In general, the suit asserted that the Company terminated Mr. Crane for the purpose of depriving him of certain equity compensation that would otherwise have become due to him on October
15, 2019. The case proceeded to a jury trial, which resulted in a verdict in favor of Crane on his breach of contract claim. On November 1, 2021, the Court entered judgment against the Company in the amount of $924,000 plus pre- and
post-judgment interest and court costs. The Company intends to appeal the judgment to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.
The Company is subject to other claims and legal actions in the ordinary course of its business. The Company believes that all such claims and actions currently pending against it are either
adequately covered by insurance or would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s annual results of operations, cash flows or financial condition if decided in a manner that is unfavorable to the Company.
