Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Service and Licensing Obligations We have entered into service and licensing agreements with third party vendors to provide various services, including network access, equipment maintenance, and software licensing. As the benefits of these agreements are experienced uniformly over the applicable contractual periods, we record the related service and licensing expenses on a straight-line basis, although actual cash payment obligations under certain of these agreements fluctuate over the terms of the agreements. Our future minimum payments under non-cancellable contractual service and licensing obligations as of March 31, 2022 (in thousands): For the Years Ending December 31, Remainder of 2022 $ 8,258 2023 8,370 2024 2,470 2025 229 2026 — Thereafter — Total $ 19,327 Operating Leases Refer to Note 10 – Leases for commitments related to our operating leases. Contingencies From time to time, we receive inquiries from governmental bodies and also may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. We assess contingencies to determine the degree of probability and range of possible loss for potential accrual in our condensed consolidated financial statements. An estimated loss contingency is accrued in the condensed consolidated financial statements if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. There was no material litigation-related accrual during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Legal proceedings or other contingencies could result in material costs, even if we ultimately prevail. Legal Proceedings Securities Class Action – On April 8, 2020 and April 30, 2020, two purported class action lawsuits were filed against the Company, its then-chief executive officer, Scott N. Flanders, its then-chief financial officer, Derek N. Yung, and its then-chief operating officer, David K. Francis in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The cases are captioned Patel v. eHealth, Inc., et al ., Case No. 5:20-cv-02395 (N.D. Cal.) and Bertrand v. eHealth, Inc. et al. , Case No. 4:20-cv-02967 (N.D. Cal.). The complaints allege, among other things, that the Company and Messrs. Flanders, Yung and Francis made materially false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose material information regarding the Company's accounting and modeling assumptions, rate of member churn and the Company's profitability during the alleged class period of March 19, 2018 to April 7, 2020. The complaints allege that we and Messrs. Flanders, Yung and Francis violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The complaints seek compensatory and (in the Patel lawsuit) punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and costs, and such other relief as the court deems proper. On June 24, 2020, the Court consolidated the above-referenced matters under the caption In re eHealth Securities Litig. , Master File No. 4:20-cv-02395-JST (N.D. Cal.). The Court also appointed a lead plaintiff and lead counsel for the consolidated matter. An Amended Complaint was filed on August 25, 2020, which Defendants moved to dismiss on October 23, 2020. Defendants’ motion, which Plaintiff opposed, was granted in part and denied in part on August 12, 2021. The Court dismissed Plaintiff's claims to the extent premised upon alleged misrepresentations or omissions relating to churn, but denied Defendants' motion with respect to alleged misstatements regarding purported operating costs. On October 1, 2021, the Company filed an Answer denying in part and admitting in part the remaining allegations, and denying any wrongdoing. On November 11, 2021, Plaintiff’s counsel filed a suggestion of death with respect to the lead plaintiff Billy White. The parties stipulated to a schedule for the lead plaintiff process to be re-opened, which was so-ordered by the Court on January 10, 2022. Plaintiff’s counsel published notice regarding the appointment of a new lead plaintiff on January 17, 2022. On March 18, 2022, several motions were filed by class members seeking appointment as lead plaintiff. The lead plaintiff motions are presently set to be heard on May 12, 2022. Derivative Actions – On July 7, 2020 and October 13, 2020, two derivative lawsuits were filed against the Company's then-chief executive officer, Mr. Flanders, its then-chief financial officer, Mr. Yung, its then-chief operating officer, Mr. Francis, and the then-current members of the Board (collectively, the “Individual Defendants”), in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California and the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara. The cases are captioned Chernet v. Flanders et al ., Case No. 3:20-cv-04477-SK (N.D. Cal.), and Lincolnshire Police Pension Fund v. Flanders et al. , Case No. 20CV371555 (Cal. Super. Ct.), and also name the Company as a nominal defendant. A third derivative lawsuit was filed against the same defendants on October 5, 2021 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, captioned Badwal v. Flanders et al ., Case No. 4:21-cv-07795 (N.D. Cal.). The complaints allege, among other things, that the Individual Defendants made or caused the Company to make materially false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose material information regarding our accounting and modeling assumptions, rate of member churn, profitability, and internal controls for the period of March 2018 through the present. The Chernet and Lincolnshire complaints purport to assert claims for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment and waste of corporate assets. The Chernet lawsuit also alleges that the Individual Defendants violated Sections 14(a), 10(b), and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and asserts claims for abuse of control and gross mismanagement. The Badwal complaint purports to assert a claim for breach of fiduciary duty, an insider trading claim, and violations of Section 14(a), 10(b) and 21D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Chernet and Lincolnshire complaints seek damages, restitution, attorneys’ fees and costs, and certain measures with respect to the Company's corporate governance and internal procedures, and (in the Lincolnshire lawsuit) equitable and/or injunctive relief. The Badwal complaint seeks damages, declaratory relief, corporate governance measures, equitable and injunctive relief, restitution and disgorgement, and attorneys' fees and costs. On August 10, 2020, the parties filed a Stipulation and Proposed Order in the Chernet matter to stay the action until and through the resolution of the Defendants' anticipated motion to dismiss the consolidated securities class action, and filed a similar stipulation in the Lincolnshire matter on December 11, 2020. The Chernet stipulation was granted by the Court on August 12, 2020 and the Lincolnshire stipulation on December 11, 2020. In December 2021, the parties entered into a stipulation to further stay the Badwal and Chernet actions pending the appointment of a lead plaintiff in the consolidated action, which was so ordered by the Court on December 14, 2021. |
