Commitments and Contingencies COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Cooperation Agreement. The Company holds an exclusive licensing agreement (Cooperation Agreement) to co-develop and commercialize equipment incorporating pulsed field ablation (PFA) technology. The Cooperation Agreement requires the Company to pay contingent consideration, settled in cash, with a maximum total payout of $28,000 if all milestones are achieved successfully through the agreement term ending in 2034. The contingent consideration will be expensed when each milestone is paid or becomes payable as a result of achievement. Payments made under this agreement were $5,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and included as a component of research and development expense. During October 2025, the next milestone was achieved. The impact of the $1,000 payment and expense will be included in the fourth quarter of 2025. The agreement also contains provisions requiring future royalty payments on devices incorporating co-developed technology upon commercialization.
Purchase Agreements. The Company enters into standard purchase agreements with suppliers in the ordinary course of business, generally with terms that allow cancellation. In 2022, the Company entered into a clinical trial management agreement for the LeAAPS clinical trial. The terms of the agreement require payments upon achievement of various enrollment and project milestones over the estimated ten-year term, however, the agreement may be terminated early for any reason. Furthermore, the Company incurs additional variable costs, including pass through costs from clinical trial sites. Payments
made under this agreement were $5,144 and $312 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $12,631 and $6,461 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. In August 2025, the Company entered into a non-cancellable cloud computing arrangement with a term of seven years requiring total payments of $3,616. Payments under this agreement will begin March 2026.
Legal. The Company may, from time to time, become a party to legal proceedings which are subject to many uncertainties. Litigation and administrative proceedings over patent and other intellectual property rights are common in our industry, as are requests for information related to interactions with medical professionals. Accordingly, the financial impact of ultimate resolutions from legal proceedings may not be known for extended periods of time and are not predictable with assurance. A liability is established once management determines a loss is probable and an amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company recognizes income from a favorable resolution of legal proceedings when the associated cash or assets are received.
On February 7, 2025, the representative for former securityholders of SentreHEART, Inc. filed a complaint in the Delaware Court of Chancery naming the Company as a defendant, and on May 23, 2025 filed a first amended complaint. The Company acquired SentreHEART, Inc. pursuant to a merger agreement dated August 11, 2019. The merger agreement provides for contingent consideration to be paid upon achievement of specified PMA and CPT reimbursement milestones by specified dates. The amended complaint alleges breach of contract and a related claim for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing resulting from the Company's alleged failure to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain premarket approval from FDA for the LARIAT System. The amended complaint seeks damages in the amount of the original PMA and CPT reimbursement milestones of up to $260,000 plus interest. The Company intends to vigorously defend this claim. A liability has not been recognized related to this matter because any potential loss is not currently probable or reasonably estimable.
