Contingencies

From time to time, the Company is subject to various claims, charges and litigation matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company records a provision for a liability when it is both probable that the loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. If the Company determines that a loss is reasonably possible and the loss or range of loss can be estimated, it discloses the reasonably possible loss. Any potential gains associated with legal matters are not recorded until the period in which all contingencies are resolved and the gain is realized or realizable. Depending on the nature and timing of any such proceedings that may arise, an unfavorable resolution of a matter could materially affect the Company’s future consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position in a particular period. Except if otherwise indicated, it is not reasonably possible to determine the probability of loss or estimate damages for any of the matters discussed below, and therefore, the Company has not established reserves for any of these matters.

The Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office, in conjunction with other representatives from other California district and city attorneys’ offices, is currently investigating the Company’s compliance with California’s Automatic Renewal Law (“ARL”), California’s Unfair Competition Law, and False Advertising Law (the "CA ARL Matter”). The Company has met with this task force of multiple California district attorneys (“CART”) and has provided documents and information upon request and discussed proposed remediation. Based on recent discussions with CART, it is probable that the Company will incur a loss with regard to this matter. However, based on the current information, the Company does not have enough information to make a reasonable estimate of the loss or range of loss at this time.
The Federal Trade Commission is currently investigating the Company’s billing and automatic renewal practices (the “FTC Matter”). The FTC Matter specifically relates to an investigation of the Company’s compliance with Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Restore Online Shoppers’ Confidence Act, the CAN-SPAM Rule, the Unordered Merchandise Statute, and other matters related to our subscription offerings. The Company certified compliance with the initial FTC Civil Investigative Demand on June 16, 2023 and continues to work closely with investigators toward resolution on this matter. To date, no legal proceeding has commenced regarding this matter. As the outcome and materiality is uncertain at this time, the Company cannot estimate the probability of loss or make an estimate of the loss or range of loss in this matter.
