5. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

In the normal course of business, the Company is from time to time named as a party to legal claims and actions. The Company records a loss contingency reserve for a legal proceeding when the potential loss is considered probable and can be reasonably estimated. The Company has not recorded any amounts for loss contingencies as of June 30, 2025.

On June 17, 2024, Steven M. Fruchtman informed the Board of his intent to resign from his positions as President and Chief Scientific Officer, Oncology and indicated to the Company that Dr. Fruchtman believes his resignation to be for "good reason" under the terms of his employment agreement and his expectation of compensation commensurate therewith and in connection with a change in control. The Board accepted Dr. Fruchtman’s resignation effective immediately but disagrees with the characterization of the events set forth in the letter. The Company believes that no severance payments are due to Dr. Fruchtman under the terms of his employment agreement as it pertains to termination for good reason events. The claims have been submitted to arbitration for resolution. At June 30, 2025, the Company determined a range of possible losses associated with Dr. Fruchtman’s claim to be zero to $1,500,000. While the Company intends to defend itself against these claims, and believes it has strong arguments to prevail in the litigation, there can be no assurance that the Company will prevail on its claims.
