We are party to various legal claims that are ordinary and incidental to our business, including ones related to commercial disputes, employment, workers’ compensation, product liability, regulatory and other matters. We maintain insurance coverage for employment, product liability, workers’ compensation and other personal injury litigation matters, subject to policy limits, applicable deductibles and insurer solvency. We establish reserves from time to time based upon periodic assessment of the potential outcomes of pending matters.
Based on current knowledge and the advice of counsel, we believe that the accrual as of June 30, 2024 for currently pending matters considered probable of loss, which is not material, is sufficient. In addition, we believe that other currently pending matters are not reasonably possible to result in a material loss, as payment of the amounts claimed is remote, the claims are immaterial, individually and in the aggregate, or the claims are expected to be adequately covered by insurance, subject to policy limits, applicable deductibles, exclusions and insurer solvency.
Note 14—Subsequent Events
On July 22, 2024, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger to acquire Rotech Healthcare Holdings Inc., (Rotech) for $1.36 billion in cash. Given anticipated tax benefits of approximately $40 million from the transaction, the net purchase price is approximately $1.32 billion. Rotech is a national leader in providing home medical equipment in the US. The definitive agreement contains certain termination rights for the Company and Rotech. In the event that we terminate the contract, we will be required to pay Rotech a termination fee of $70.0 million. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart Scott Rodino Act, and is expected to close by the end of 2024. We have fully committed financing in place and expect to use a combination of cash and incremental borrowings to fund the purchase price.
