Note 18 – Commitments and Contingencies

 

Insurance

 

The Company’s insurance coverage is carried with third-party insurers and includes: (i) general liability insurance covering third-party exposures; (ii) statutory workers’ compensation insurance; (iv) excess liability insurance above the established primary limits for general liability and automobile liability insurance; (v) property insurance, which covers the replacement value of real and personal property and includes business interruption; and (vi) insurance covering our directors and officers for acts related to our business activities. All coverage is subject to certain limits and deductibles, the terms and conditions of which are common for companies with similar types of operations.

 

Legal Matters

 

The Company is not currently subject to any material legal proceedings other than as described below; however, it could be subject to legal proceedings and claims from time to time in the ordinary course of its business, or legal proceedings it considered immaterial may in the future become material. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can, among other things, be time consuming and expensive to resolve, and can divert management resources.

 

WFI Settlement

 

In June 2024, Wood Violet, pursuant to its rights under the WFI acquisition transaction documents (the “WFI Documents”), transferred ownership of Wisconsin Fertility and Reproductive Surgery Associates, S.C. (“WFRSA”) from Dr. Elizabeth Pritts MD (“Dr. Pritts”) to a new medical doctor. Upon completion of such transfer, WFRSA terminated Dr. Pritts’ employment. Since then, various disputes among the parties have arisen under the WFI Documents, including, without limitation, Wood Violet’s non-payment of the second installment of the purchase consideration of $2.5 million. The parties entered into negotiations to resolve these disputes and restructure the terms of the WFI acquisition and engaged an independent mediator to facilitate these negotiations.

 

On May 7, 2025, Dr. Pritts and the Pritts Trust filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of the State of Wisconsin, Dane County, against the Company and its subsidiaries INVO CTR, WFRSA, and Wood Violet. Dr. Pritts and the Pritts Trust have asserted causes of action arising out of the WFI Documents for breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, tortious interference with contract (or, in the alternative, veil piercing), and unjust enrichment.

 

On May 14, 2025, the Company, Dr. Pritts, the Pritts Trust, and certain of their respective affiliates entered into a binding term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) to settle all disputes between the parties pursuant to the terms set forth in the Term Sheet (the “Terms”). The parties agreed to cooperate in good faith to prepare and enter into a final settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) based on the terms set forth in the Term Sheet; provided, however, that unless and until the Settlement Agreement is executed, the Terms are binding on the parties. Under the Terms, Wood Violet agreed to pay Dr. Pritts $6,000,000 in full and final settlement and satisfaction of all obligations to Dr. Pritts and her affiliates under the WFI Documents, of which $525,000 was paid concurrently with the execution of the Term Sheet, and the remainder of which is payable as follows: $475,000 due June 30, 2025, $750,000 due September 30, 2025, $750,000 due December 31, 2025, $1,000,000 due March 31, 2026, $2,000,000 due June 30, 2026, and $500,000 due December 31, 2026. The Company shall provide Wood Violet with use of 25% of all gross funding proceeds above $2,000,000 raised within any six-month period to accelerate the payment of scheduled settlement payments in chronological order. The parties will enter into a consent judgment to resolve the complaint that would come into effect upon any breach of the Settlement Agreement. The parties agreed to settle all disputes, including those related to employment, acquisition, tax, and related matters, the termination of all employment, consulting, and similar agreements with Dr. Pritts, and other customary terms, including, without limitation, indemnification and release of claims. On September 30, 2025 the Company executed the Settlement Agreement.

 

The Company recognized a gain on settlement of $929,500 related to the Settlement Agreement and an impairment loss of $1,397,353 after agreeing to release Dr. Pritts from her non-compete agreement as part of the Settlement Agreement.
