Legal Proceedings
The Company is involved in legal proceedings from time to time in the ordinary course of its business, including employment claims and claims related to other business transactions. The Company cannot predict with certainty the outcome of such proceedings, but it believes that adequate reserves have been recorded and losses already recognized with respect to such proceedings, which were immaterial as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. There is a reasonable possibility that a loss exceeding amounts already recognized may be incurred related to these actions; however, the Company believes that such potential losses were immaterial as of June 30, 2026.
On April 6, 2026, Jan Durbin filed a class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio (Case No. 1:26-cv-00346) against Medpace Holdings, Inc., August J. Troendle, Jesse J. Geiger, and Kevin M. Brady alleging violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 promulgated under Section 10(b). Plaintiff alleges that defendants made materially false and misleading statements related to the Company’s book-to-bill ratio to deceive the market in violation of the Exchange Act. Plaintiff seeks unspecified damages, interest, attorneys’ fees, expert fees and other costs. A liability has not been recognized related to this matter because any potential loss is not currently probable or reasonably estimable.
On June 22, 2026, Stephen Bushansky filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio (Case No. 1:26-cv-617) purporting to bring a stockholder derivative action on behalf of the Company against the Company and certain of its current and past officers and directors, namely August J. Troendle, Jesse J. Geiger, Kevin M. Brady, Susan E. Burwig, Stephen P. Ewald, Brian T. Carley, Fred B. Davenport, Jr., Femida H. Gwadry-Sridhar, Robert O. Kraft, Cornelius P. “Neal” McCarthy III, and Dani Zander in connection with the Company’s statements related to its book-to-bill ratio. Plaintiff alleges that the director defendants violated Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-9 thereunder and are also liable under Section 21D of the Exchange Act which governs the application of any private right of action for contribution asserted pursuant to the federal securities laws. Plaintiff also alleges claims under state law, asserting that defendants breached fiduciary duties, aided and abetted breaches of fiduciary duties and were unjustly enriched. Plaintiff seeks unspecified damages, restitution, disgorgement of profits and other relief. A liability has not been recognized related to this matter because any potential loss is not currently probable or reasonably estimable.

The Company has several minimum purchase commitments for project related supplies and support services totaling $29.4 million as of June 30, 2026. In return for the commitment, Medpace receives preferential pricing. The commitments expire at various times through 2030.
