The Company has certain irrevocable letters of credit used to satisfy real estate lease agreements for four of our offices in lieu of security deposits in the amount of $4.4 million as of December 31, 2025. The Company also has an irrevocable letter of credit to satisfy the obligations of a captive insurance subsidiary in the amount of $2.0 million outstanding as of December 31, 2025.
Unconditional Obligations
We have entered into cloud computing arrangements that are enforceable, legally binding and specify terms, including: fixed or minimum purchase obligations and the approximate timing of the payment. Certain routine arrangements that are entered into in the ordinary course of business are not included in the amounts below, as they are generally entered into in order to secure pricing or other negotiated terms and are difficult to quantify in a meaningful way or are for terms of less than one year.
As of December 31, 2025 our unconditional purchase obligations are as follows (in thousands):

Claims and Litigation
We are a defendant in various lawsuits and other pending and threatened litigation and other adversarial matters which have arisen in the ordinary course of business as well as regulatory investigations, all which have arisen in the ordinary course of business. While the ultimate outcome with respect to such proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not currently believe they will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
We have been named in numerous federal lawsuits, including putative class action lawsuits relating to litigation on the basis of alleged violation of antitrust laws, asserting that, among other things, the Company is conspiring with commercial health insurance payers to suppress out-of-network reimbursements in violation of applicable antitrust law. These lawsuits were initially filed in various venues, including the Southern District of New York, the Northern District of Illinois, and the Northern District of California, naming the Company and, in certain cases, certain payers, as defendants. The lawsuits have now been centralized in the Northern District of Illinois pursuant to a transfer order issued by the federal Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation and assigned to the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly. Consolidated complaints were filed on November 18, 2024 and the defendants filed joint motions to dismiss the consolidated complaints on January 16, 2025, which were granted in part and denied in part on June 3, 2025. Discovery in the case is ongoing. We believe these lawsuits are without merit and are vigorously defending the Company.
We accrue for costs associated with certain contingencies, including, but not limited to, settlement of legal proceedings, regulatory compliance matters and self-insurance exposures when such costs are probable and reasonably estimable. Such accruals are included in other accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets. In addition, we accrue for legal fees incurred in defense of asserted litigation and regulatory matters as such legal fees are incurred. To the extent it is probable under our existing insurance coverage that we are able to recover losses and legal fees related to contingencies, we record such
recoveries concurrently with the accrual of the related loss or legal fees. Significant management judgment is required to estimate the amounts of such contingent liabilities and the related insurance recoveries. In our determination of the probability and ability to estimate contingent liabilities and related insurance recoveries we consider the following: litigation exposure based on currently available information, consultations with external legal counsel, adequacy and applicability of existing insurance coverage and other pertinent facts and circumstances regarding the contingency. Liabilities established to provide for contingencies are adjusted as further information develops, circumstances change, or contingencies are resolved; and such changes are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss during the period of the change and appropriately reflected in other accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets.

About Commitments Disclosures
Commitments and contingencies disclosures catalog a company's off-balance-sheet obligations and legal exposures — purchase commitments, guarantee arrangements, pending litigation, and regulatory proceedings. These items represent potential future cash outflows that may not appear as liabilities on the balance sheet until they become probable and estimable.
Key signals: litigation reserves and disclosed loss ranges quantify management's estimate of legal exposure, but unquantified "reasonably possible" losses often represent the larger risk. Watch for changes in language around pending cases — shifts from "remote" to "reasonably possible" or increases in estimated loss ranges signal deteriorating outcomes. Unconditional purchase obligations and take-or-pay contracts create fixed cost structures that reduce operational flexibility. Guarantee arrangements for subsidiaries or joint ventures can create cascading obligations. Compare the total commitment schedule against projected free cash flow to assess whether the company can meet its obligations without additional financing.
