Item 3. Legal Proceedings
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
On February 14, 2025, a class action captioned Jewik v. TransMedics Group, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:25-cv-10385, was filed against the Company and certain of its current and former officers in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The complaint purported to assert claims pursuant to Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and SEC Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, seeking unspecified damages on behalf of a putative class of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s shares between the Class Period, February 28, 2023 and January 10, 2025.
On April 2, 2025, another purported stockholder filed a putative class action lawsuit against the Company and certain of its current and former officers, also in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts (Collins v. TransMedics Group, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:25-cv-10778). The Collins complaint alleged claims substantially similar to those alleged in the Jewik action and also sought unspecified damages. On May 22, 2025, the court consolidated the Jewik and Collins actions and appointed the Peace Officers’ Annuity and Benefit Fund of Georgia and Oguzhan Altun as lead plaintiffs, or the Lead Plaintiffs.

On August 8, 2025, Lead Plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint. Like the earlier-filed complaints, the amended complaint purports to assert claims pursuant to Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5, on behalf of a putative class of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s shares during the Class Period. Lead Plaintiffs seek unspecified damages allegedly caused by purported misstatements and omissions contained in our 2022 Annual Report, certain earnings calls, and other public statements. The amended complaint claims these alleged statements and omissions operated to artificially inflate the price paid for our common stock during the Class Period. On October 7, 2025, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint for failure to state a claim. Lead Plaintiffs’ filed their response to the motion on November 21, 2025, and defendants’ filed a reply in further support of their motion on December 22, 2025. We cannot anticipate when the court will rule on that motion.
From time to time, we may be involved in other legal proceedings or investigations, which could have an adverse impact on our reputation, business and financial condition and divert the attention of our management from the operation of our business.
