18. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

From time to time, we are party to pending or threatened lawsuits arising out of or incident to the ordinary course of business. We carry professional and general liability insurance coverage and other insurance coverages. In the

opinion of management and upon consultation with legal counsel, none of the pending or threatened lawsuits will have a material effect upon the consolidated financial position, operations, or cash flows of the Company.

Class Action Litigation

On February 14, 2023, a plaintiff filed a purported class action lawsuit in the Stanislaus County Superior Court, California, on behalf of all non-exempt employees employed by Defendants Prime Shine LLC in California any time between February 14, 2019, and the present, against Prime Shine, LLC and Does 1 – 20 inclusive. Plaintiff alleges eight claims for violations of the California Labor Code and one claim for violation of the California Business & Professions Code. On June 13, 2023, Plaintiff filed a First Amended Complaint to add a claim for penalties pursuant to the Private Attorneys General Act. Plaintiff seeks, among other things, an unspecified amount for unpaid wages, actual, consequential, and incidental losses, penalties, and attorneys’ fees and costs. The parties agreed to an informal exchange of information in lieu of formal discovery prior to mediation with an experienced wage-and-hour mediator. In October 2023, following mediation, both parties agreed to settle the lawsuit. A financial amount was accrued that was not material to our consolidated financial statements. This agreement is contingent upon the formalization of a written settlement document and subsequent approval from the California Department of Labor and the court. Should all these conditions be met, the class action lawsuit will be considered settled.

Insurance

We carry a broad range of insurance coverage, including general and business auto liability, commercial property, workers’ compensation, cyber risk, directors and officers, and general umbrella policies. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, we accrued $4,311 and $3,230, respectively, for assessments on insurance claims filed, which are included in other accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded $3,686 and $2,627, respectively, in other receivables from our non-healthcare insurance carriers related to these insurance claims, which are included in other receivables in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The receivables are paid when the claim is finalized and the reserved amounts on these claims are expected to be paid within one year.

Environmental Matters

Operations at certain facilities currently or previously owned or leased by us utilize, or in the past have utilized, hazardous substances generally in compliance with applicable law. Periodically, we have had minor claims asserted against us by regulatory agencies or private parties for environmental matters relating to the handling of hazardous substances by us, and we have incurred obligations for investigations or remedial actions with respect to certain of these matters. There can be no assurances that activities at these facilities, or future facilities owned or operated by us, may not result in additional environmental claims being asserted against us or additional investigations or remedial actions being required. We are not aware of any significant remediation matters as of December 31, 2023. Because of various factors including the difficulty of identifying the responsible parties for any particular site, the complexity of determining the relative liability among them, the uncertainty as to the most desirable remediation techniques and the amount of damages and clean-up costs and the time period during which such costs may be incurred, we are unable to reasonably estimate the ultimate cost of claims asserted against us related to environmental matters; however, we do not believe such costs will be material to its consolidated financial statements.

In addition to potential claims asserted against us, there are certain regulatory obligations associated with these facilities. We also have a third-party specialist to review the sites subject to these regulations annually, for the purpose of assigning future cost. A third party has conducted a preliminary assessment of site restoration provisions arising from these regulations and we have recognized a provisional amount. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded an environmental remediation accrual of $15 and $12, respectively, which is included in other accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
