NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 — NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Corporate Organization and Business
We are a national provider of infusion and home care management solutions with nearly
67
service locations around the U.S. We partner with physicians, hospital systems, payors, pharmaceutical manufacturers and skilled nursing facilities to provide patients access to post-acute care services. We operate with a commitment to bring customer-focused pharmacy and related healthcare infusion therapy services into the home or alternate-site setting. By collaborating with the full spectrum of healthcare professionals and the patient, we aim to provide cost-effective care that is driven by clinical excellence, customer service and values that promote positive outcomes and an enhanced quality of life for those whom we serve.
Option Care Enterprises, Inc. Merger Agreement
On March 14, 2019 we entered into a definitive merger agreement with the shareholder of Option Care Enterprises, Inc. (“Option Care”), the nation’s largest independent provider of home and alternate treatment site infusion therapy services. Under the terms of the merger agreement, the Company will issue new shares of its common stock to the Option Care’s shareholder in a non-taxable exchange, which will result in BioScrip shareholders holding approximately
20%
of the combined company. The shareholder of Option Care has secured committed financing, the proceeds of which will be used to retire the Company’s First Lien Note Facility, Second Lien Note Facility and 2021 Notes at the close of the transaction. Following the close of the transaction, the combined company common stock will continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Global Market. The transaction is currently expected to close in the third quarter of 2019.
Basis of Presentation
These Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements, including the notes thereto, and other information included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of BioScrip, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”) for the year ended
December 31, 2018
(the “Annual Report”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2018 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.
The information furnished in these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflects all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the interim periods presented require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes and are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
Principles of Consolidation
The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period financial statement amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. Additionally, certain amounts in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations have been reclassified to include the presentation of operating expenses and operating income (loss).
NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Leases
We have lease agreements for facilities, warehouses, office space, and property and equipment. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets (“ROU assets”) and operating lease
liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment and long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheets.
ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date. Operating lease liabilities represent the present value of unpaid lease payments. As the majority of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our estimated incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date to determine the present value of unpaid lease payments. ROU assets represent our right to use underlying assets and are recorded as operating lease liabilities adjusted for prepayments or accrued lease payments, initial direct costs, lease incentives, and impairment of ROU assets. Tenant incentives used to fund leasehold improvements are recognized when earned and reduce our right-of-use asset related to the lease. These are amortized through the right-of-use asset as reductions of expense over the lease term.
Our leases typically contain rent escalations over the expected lease term. We recognize expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. We review the terms of any renewal options to determine if it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised, however we generally conclude that our expected lease term is the minimum noncancellable period of the lease.
We have lease agreements with both lease and non-lease components, which we elected to account for as single lease components for all asset classes. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet and are expensed on a straight-line basis over the related lease term. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted
We adopted ASU 2016-02,
Leases
, on January 1, 2019. The standard requires lessees to recognize a liability for lease obligations, which represents the discounted obligation to make future minimum lease payments, and a corresponding right-of-use asset on the balance sheet and disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. We elected the optional transition method to apply the standard as of the effective date and therefore, we did not apply the standard to the comparative periods presented in our financial statements. We elected the transition package of three practical expedients permitted within the standard, which eliminates the requirement to reassess prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. We did not elect the hindsight practical expedient, which permits the use of hindsight when determining lease term and impairment of right-of-use assets. Further, we elected a short-term lease exception policy, permitting us to not apply the recognition requirements of this standard to short-term leases (i.e. leases with terms of 12 months or less) and an accounting policy to account for lease and non-lease components as a single component for certain classes of assets.
Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of operating lease liabilities and corresponding ROU assets of
$25.9 million
as of January 1, 2019. Additionally, existing net liabilities for prepayments or accrued lease payments, initial direct costs and lease incentives of
$5.0 million
were reclassified as an offset to the ROU assets on January 1, 2019, resulting in net initial ROU assets of
$20.9 million
. The standard did not materially impact our consolidated statements of operations or cash flows.
We adopted ASU 2017-11—
Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity (Topic 480)
, and
Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): I. Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features and II. Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception,
on January 1, 2019. ASU 2017-11 eliminates the requirement that a down round feature precludes equity classification when assessing whether an instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. A freestanding equity-linked financial instrument no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2018, the FASB issued
ASU 2018-13— Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework— Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements
. ASU 2018-13 modifies fair value measurement disclosure requirements. The effective date for ASU 2018-13 is for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s disclosures to the consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued
ASU 2016-13—Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
, which requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 eliminate the probable threshold for initial recognition of a credit loss in current GAAP and
reflect an entity’s current estimate of all expected credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2020, and is to be applied using a modified retrospective transition method. Earlier adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Debt Facilities
On June 29, 2017 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into (i) a first lien note purchase agreement (the “First Lien Note Facility”), among the Company, which is the issuer under the agreement, the financial institutions and note purchasers from
time to time party to the agreement (the “First Lien Note Purchasers”), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, in its capacity as collateral agent for itself and the First Lien Note Purchasers (the “First Lien Collateral Agent”), pursuant to which the Company issued first lien senior secured notes in an aggregate principal amount of
$200.0 million
(the “First Lien Notes”); and (ii) a second lien note purchase agreement (the “Second Lien Note Facility” and, together with the First Lien Note Facility, the “Notes Facilities”) among the Company, which is the issuer under the agreement, the financial institutions and note purchasers from time to time party to the agreement (the “Second Lien Note Purchasers”), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, in its capacity as collateral agent for itself and the Second Lien Note Purchasers (the “Second Lien Collateral Agent” and, together with the First Lien Collateral Agent, the “Collateral Agent”), pursuant to which the Company (a) issued second lien senior secured notes in an aggregate initial principal amount of
$100.0 million
(the “Initial Second Lien Notes”) and (b) had the ability to draw upon the Second Lien Note Facility and issue second lien delayed draw senior secured notes, which was exercised on June 21, 2018, in an aggregate initial principal amount of
$10.0 million
, representing the maximum borrowings allowed on this facility (the “Second Lien Delayed Draw Notes” and, together with the Initial Second Lien Notes, the “Second Lien Notes”; the Second Lien Notes, together with the First Lien Notes, the “Notes”). Funds managed by Ares Management L.P. are acting as lead purchasers for the Notes Facilities.
The Company used the proceeds of the sale of the First Lien Notes and the Initial Second Lien Notes to repay in full all amounts outstanding under the Prior Credit Agreements and extinguished the liability. Each of the Prior Credit Agreements was terminated following such repayment. The Company used the remaining proceeds of
$15.9 million
, net of
$0.2 million
in issuance costs, from the Notes Facilities and the related private placement of the Company’s common stock for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The First Lien Notes accrue interest, payable monthly in arrears, at a floating rate or rates equal to, at the option of the Company, (i) the base rate (defined as the highest of the Federal Funds Rate plus
0.5%
per annum, the Prime Rate as published by The Wall Street Journal and the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) (subject to a
1.0%
floor) plus
1.0%
), or (ii) the one-month LIBOR rate (subject to a
1.0%
floor), plus a margin of
6.0%
if the base rate is selected or
7.0%
if the LIBOR Option is selected. The First Lien Notes mature on August 15, 2020, provided that if the Company’s existing
8.875%
Senior Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”) are refinanced prior to August 15, 2020, then the scheduled maturity date of the First Lien Notes shall be June 30, 2022.
The First Lien Notes amortize in equal quarterly installments equal to
0.625%
of the aggregate principal amount of the First Lien Note Facility, commencing on September 30, 2019, and on the last day of each third month thereafter, with the balance payable at maturity. The First Lien Notes are pre-payable at the Company’s option at specified premiums to the principal amount that will decline over the term of the First Lien Note Facility. If the First Lien Notes are prepaid prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company will be required to pay a make-whole premium based on the present value (using a discount rate based on the specified treasury rate plus
50
basis points) of all remaining interest payments on the First Lien Notes being prepaid prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, plus
4.0%
of the principal amount of First Lien Notes being prepaid. On or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the prepayment premium is
4.0%
, which declines to
2.0%
on or after the third anniversary of the Closing Date, and declines to
0.0%
on or after the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date. At any time, the Company may pre-pay up to
$50.0 million
in aggregate principal amount of the First Lien Notes from internally generated cash without incurring any make-whole or prepayment premium. The occurrence of certain events of default may increase the applicable rate of interest by
2.0%
and could result in the acceleration of the Company’s obligations under the First Lien Note Facility prior to stated maturity and an obligation of the Company to pay the full amount of its obligations under the First Lien Note Facility.
The First Lien Note Facility contains customary events of default that include, among others, non-payment of principal, interest or fees, violation of covenants, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, bankruptcy and insolvency events, material judgments, cross-defaults to material indebtedness and events constituting a change of control. In addition, the obligations under the First Lien Note Facility are guaranteed by joint and several guarantees from the Company’s subsidiaries.
In May 2019, the First Lien Note Facility was amended to allow for additional borrowings of up to
$8.0 million
under terms materially consistent with the existing agreement. The Company drew upon the agreement on May 7, 2019, in an aggregate initial principal amount of
$8.0 million
, representing the maximum borrowings allowed on this facility.
In connection with the First Lien Note Facility, the Company, its subsidiaries and the First Lien Collateral Agent entered into a First Lien Guaranty and Security Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2017 (the “First Lien Guaranty and Security Agreement”). Pursuant to the First Lien Guaranty and Security Agreement, the obligations under the First Lien Notes are secured by first priority liens on, and security interests in, substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries.
The Second Lien Notes accrue interest, payable monthly in arrears, at a floating rate or rates equal to, at the option of the Company, (i) one-month LIBOR (subject to a
1.25%
floor) plus
9.25%
per annum in cash, (ii) one-month LIBOR (subject to a
1.25%
floor) plus
11.25%
per annum, which amount will be capitalized on each interest payment date, or (iii) one-month LIBOR
(subject to a
1.25%
floor) plus
10.25%
per annum, of which one-half LIBOR plus
4.625%
per annum will be payable in cash and one-half LIBOR plus
5.625%
per annum will be capitalized on each interest payment date, provided that, in each case, if any permitted refinancing indebtedness with which the 2021 Notes are refinanced requires or permits the payment of cash interest, all of the interest on the Second Lien Notes shall be paid in cash. For the six months ended June 30, 2019,
$8.4 million
of interest was capitalized to the Second Lien Notes, increasing the principal amount to
$126.2 million
as of
June 30, 2019
. The Second Lien Notes mature on August 15, 2020, provided that if the 2021 Notes are refinanced prior to August 15, 2020, then the scheduled maturity date of the Second Lien Notes shall be June 30, 2022.
In connection with the Second Lien Note Facility, the Company also issued warrants (the “2017 Warrants”) to the purchasers of the Second Lien Notes pursuant to a Warrant Purchase Agreement dated as of June 29, 2017 (the “Warrant Purchase Agreement”). The 2017 Warrants entitle the purchasers of the Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock, representing at the time of any exercise of the 2017 Warrants an equivalent number of shares equal to
4.99%
of the Common Stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis, subject to the terms of the Warrant Agreement governing the Warrants, dated as of June 29, 2017 (the “Warrant Agreement”). The 2017 Warrants, considered a derivative and subject to remeasurement at each reporting period, are reflected in other non-current liabilities at a fair value of
$20.5 million
.
The Second Lien Notes are not subject to scheduled amortization installments. The Second Lien Notes are pre-payable at the Company’s option at specified premiums to the principal amount that will decline over the term of the Second Lien Note Facility. If the Second Lien Notes are prepaid prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company will need to pay a make-whole premium based on the present value (using a discount rate based on the specified treasury rate plus
50
basis points) of all remaining interest payments on the Second Lien Notes being prepaid prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date, plus
4.0%
of the principal amount of Second Lien Notes being prepaid. On or after the third anniversary of the Closing Date, the prepayment premium is
4.0%
, which declines to
2.0%
on or after the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, and declines to
0.0%
on or after the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date. The occurrence of certain events of default may increase the applicable rate of interest by
2.0%
and could result in the acceleration of the Company’s obligations under the Second Lien Note Facility prior to stated maturity and an obligation of the Company to pay the full amount of its obligations under the Second Lien Note Facility.
The Second Lien Note Facility contains customary events of default that include, among others, non-payment of principal, interest or fees, violation of covenants, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, bankruptcy and insolvency events, material judgments, cross-defaults to material indebtedness and events constituting a change of control. In addition, the obligations under the Second Lien Note Facility are guaranteed by joint and several guarantees from the Company’s subsidiaries.
In connection with the Second Lien Note Facility, the Company, its subsidiaries and the Second Lien Collateral Agent entered into a Second Lien Guaranty and Security Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2017 (the “Second Lien Guaranty and Security Agreement”). Pursuant to the Second Lien Guaranty and Security Agreement, the obligations under the Second Lien Notes are secured by second priority liens on, and security interests in, substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidies.
In connection with the First Lien Note Facility and the Second Lien Note Facility, the Company, the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent, entered into an intercreditor agreement containing customary provisions to, among other things, subordinate the lien priority of the liens granted under the Second Lien Note Facility to the liens granted under the First Lien Note Facility.
2021 Notes
On February 11, 2014, the Company issued
$200.0 million
aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes. The 2021 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by all existing and future subsidiaries of the Company.
Interest on the 2021 Notes accrues at a fixed rate of
8.875%
per annum and is payable in cash semi-annually on February 15 and August 15 of each year. The debt discount of
$5.0 million
at issuance is being amortized as interest expense through maturity which will result in the accretion over time of the outstanding debt balance to the principal amount. The 2021 Notes are the Company’s senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of its other existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and senior in right of payment to all of its existing and future subordinated indebtedness.
The 2021 Notes are guaranteed on a full, joint and several basis by each of the Company’s existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries that is a borrower under any of the Company’s credit facilities or that guarantees any of the Company’s debt or that of any of its restricted subsidiaries, in each case incurred under the Company’s credit facilities. As of
June 30, 2019
, the Company does not have any independent assets or operations, and as a result, its direct and indirect subsidiaries (other than minor subsidiaries), each being 100% owned by the Company, are fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally, providing guarantees on a senior unsecured basis to the 2021 Notes.

2017 Warrants
In connection with the Second Lien Note Facility (as defined above), the Company issued the 2017 Warrants to the purchasers of the Second Lien Notes (as defined above) pursuant to a Warrant Purchase Agreement dated as of June 29, 2017 (the “Warrant Purchase Agreement”). The 2017 Warrants entitle the purchasers of the Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock, representing at the time of any exercise of the 2017 Warrants an equivalent number of shares equal to
4.99%
of the Common Stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis, subject to the terms of the Warrant Agreement governing the 2017 Warrants, dated as of June 29, 2017 (the “Warrant Agreement”); provided, however, the 2017 Warrants may not be converted to the extent that, after giving effect to such conversion, the holders of the 2017 Warrants would beneficially own, in the aggregate, in excess of (i)
19.99%
of the shares of Common Stock outstanding as of June 29, 2017 (the “Closing Date”) minus (ii) the shares of Common Stock that were sold pursuant to the Second Quarter 2017 Private Placement (the “Conversion Cap”). The Conversion Cap will not apply to the 2017 Warrants if the Company obtains the approval of its stockholders for the removal of the Conversion Cap, which the Company is required to take certain steps to attempt to obtain, subject to the terms of the Warrant Agreement.
The 2017 Warrants have a
10
-year term and an initial exercise price of
$2.00
per share, and may be exercised by payment of the exercise price in cash or surrender of shares of Common Stock into which the 2017 Warrants are being converted in an aggregate amount sufficient to pay the exercise price. The exercise price and the number of shares that may be acquired upon exercise of the 2017 Warrants are subject to adjustment in certain situations, including price based anti-dilution protection whereby, subject to certain exceptions, if the Company later issues Common Stock or certain Common Stock Equivalents (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) at a price less than either the then-current market price per share or exercise price of the 2017 Warrants, then the exercise price will be decreased and the percentage of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the 2017 Warrants will remain the same, giving effect to such issuance. Additionally, the 2017 Warrants have standard anti-dilution protections if the Company effects a stock split, subdivision, reclassification or combination of its Common Stock or fixes a record date for the making of a dividend or distribution to stockholders of cash or certain assets. Upon the occurrence of certain business combinations, the 2017 Warrants will be converted into the right to acquire shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) of the successor entity.
The 2017 Warrants are reflected as a liability in other non-current liabilities on the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period through an adjustment to earnings. The fair value of the 2017 Warrants was
$20.5 million
as of
June 30, 2019
. Fair value increases of
$5.2 million
and
$3.1 million
for
three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018
, respectively, and fair value decreases of
$(4.8) million
and
$(0.4) million
for the
six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018
, respectively, are presented as changes in fair value of equity linked liabilities on the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
NOTE 7 — STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION AND EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
On May 3, 2018, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the BioScrip, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). The ESPP provides all eligible employees, as defined under the ESPP, the opportunity to purchase up to a maximum number of shares of Common Stock of the Company as determined by the Compensation Committee. Participants in the ESPP may acquire the Common Stock at a cost of
85%
of the lower of the fair market value on the first or last day of the quarterly offering period.
As of
June 30, 2019
, there were
1,310,802
remaining shares available for issuance under the ESPP. In July 2019,
73,639
shares were issued to participants under this plan for elections made for the second quarter of 2019. During the
three months and six months
ended
June 30, 2019
and
2018
, the Company incurred nominal expense related to the ESPP.
NOTE 8 — LOSS PER SHARE
The Company presents basic and diluted loss per share for its common stock, par value
$0.0001
per share (“Common Stock”). Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders of the Company by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to stockholders and the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares comprised of options granted, unvested restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, the 2017 Warrants and Series A and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. Potential Common Stock equivalents that have been issued by the Company related to outstanding stock options, unvested restricted stock and warrants are determined using the treasury stock method, while potential common shares related to Series A and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock are determined using the “if converted” method.
The Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value
$0.0001
per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value
$0.0001
per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock” and, together with the Series A Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”), is considered a participating security, which means the security may participate in undistributed earnings with Common Stock. The holders of the Preferred Stock would be entitled to share in dividends, on an as-converted basis, if the holders of Common Stock were to receive dividends. The Company is required to use the two-class method when computing loss per share when it has a security that qualifies as a participating security. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines loss per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. In determining the amount of net earnings to allocate to common stockholders, earnings are allocated to both common and participating securities based on their respective weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share for the Company’s Common Stock is computed using the more dilutive of the two-class method or the if-converted method.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per common share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

The loss attributable to common stockholders is used as the basis of determining whether the inclusion of common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive. Accordingly, the computation of diluted shares for the
three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018
excludes the effect of shares that would be issued in connection with the March 2015 PIPE transaction and related rights offering, stock options, restricted stock awards and 2017 Warrants, as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive to loss attributable to common stockholders. The computation of diluted shares for the
six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018
excludes the effect of shares that would be issued in connection with the March 2015 PIPE transaction and related rights offering, stock options, and restricted stock awards, as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive to loss attributable to common stockholders.

June 30, 2019
, the Company had Federal net operating loss carry forwards of approximately
$441.7 million
, of which
$12.2 million
is subject to an annual limitation, which will begin expiring in 2026 and later. The Company also has a carryforward of approximately
$75.8 million
related to the interest expense limitation, which is not subject to an expiration period. The Company has post-apportioned state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately
$495.8 million
, the majority of which will begin expiring in 2019 and later.

NOTE 12 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
The Company is a party to various legal, regulatory and governmental proceedings incidental to its business. Based on current knowledge, management does not believe that loss contingencies arising from pending legal, regulatory and governmental matters, including the matters described herein, will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or liquidity of the Company. However, in light of the inherent uncertainties involved in pending legal, regulatory and governmental matters, some of which are beyond the Company’s control, and the indeterminate damages sought in some of these matters, an adverse outcome in one or more of these matters could be material to the Company’s results of operations or cash flows for any particular reporting period.
With respect to all legal, regulatory and governmental proceedings, the Company considers the likelihood of a negative outcome. If the Company determines the likelihood of a negative outcome with respect to any such matter is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company records an accrual for the estimated loss for the expected outcome of the matter. If the likelihood of a negative outcome with respect to material matters is reasonably possible and the Company is able to determine an estimate of the possible loss or a range of loss, whether in excess of a related accrued liability or where there is no accrued liability, the Company discloses the estimate of the possible loss or range of loss. However, the Company is unable to estimate a possible loss or range of loss in some instances based on the significant uncertainties involved in, and/or the preliminary nature of, certain legal, regulatory and governmental matters.
On December 18, 2017, a commercial payor of the Company sent a letter that claimed an alleged breach of the Company’s obligation under its provider contracts. While legal proceedings have not been filed, the Company and the payor have agreed in principal to a non-binding settlement of $1.5 million, payable contingent on the close of our merger with Option Care. The amount of this settlement agreement is recorded on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations under
“Loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes,”
as the alleged breach was related to a business line that no longer exists.
On June 7, 2019, a putative class action lawsuit, captioned
Erik Schmidt v. R. Carter Pate, et al.
, was filed in connection with the Option Care mergers in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. The complaint names R. Carter Pate, Daniel E. Greenleaf, David Golding, Michael Goldstein, Christopher Shackelton, Michael G. Bronfein and Steven Neuman (collectively, the “BioScrip Board”), as defendants. The complaint alleges generally that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties by failing to disclose all material information relating to the Option Care mergers. The complaint seeks a judgment finding defendants liable as well as costs and disbursements, including attorneys’, accountants’ and experts’ fees. On July 9, 2019, the plaintiff filed a motion for expedited proceedings and for a preliminary injunction, and on July 15, 2019, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware granted the plaintiff’s motion for expedited proceedings and thereafter scheduled a hearing on plaintiff’s motion for preliminary
injunction for July 26, 2019. BioScrip caused certain supplemental disclosures regarding the proposed mergers to be filed in a Current Report on Form 8-K on July 24, 2019. Later that same day, the plaintiff withdrew his motion for a preliminary injunction.
On June 14, 2019, a putative class action lawsuit, captioned
Earl M. Wheby, Jr. v. BioScrip, Inc., et al.
, was filed in connection with the Option Care mergers in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The complaint names BioScrip and the members of the BioScrip Board, as defendants. The complaint alleges generally that the defendants caused BioScrip to file a preliminary proxy statement relating to the Option Care mergers that omits material information required to have been disclosed, in violation of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The complaint seeks, among other things, a preliminary injunction prohibiting defendants from proceeding with, consummating, or closing the Option Care merger or, in the event that the Option Care merger is consummated, rescission or rescissory damages as well as costs incurred in bringing the action (including plaintiff’s attorneys’ and experts’ fees).
On June 27, 2019, a putative class action lawsuit, captioned
Lila Brennan v. BioScrip, Inc. et al.
, was filed in connection with the Option Care merger in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado. The complaint names BioScrip and the members of the BioScrip Board as defendants. The complaint alleges generally that the defendants caused BioScrip to file a definitive proxy statement relating to the merger that omits material information required to have been disclosed in violation of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The complaint seeks, among other things, a preliminary injunction prohibiting defendants from proceeding with, consummating, or closing the transaction, damages, and costs incurred in bringing the action (including plaintiff’s attorneys’ and experts’ fees).
Government Regulation
Various federal and state laws and regulations affecting the healthcare industry do or may impact the Company’s current and planned operations, including, without limitation, federal and state laws prohibiting kickbacks in government health programs, federal and state antitrust and drug distribution laws, and a wide variety of consumer protection, insurance and other state laws and regulations. While management believes the Company is in substantial compliance with all existing laws and regulations material to the operation of its business, such laws and regulations are often uncertain in their application to our business practices as they evolve and are subject to rapid change. As controversies continue to arise in the healthcare industry, federal and state regulation and enforcement priorities in this area can be expected to increase, the impact of which cannot be predicted.
From time to time, the Company responds to investigatory subpoenas and requests for information from governmental agencies and private parties. The Company cannot predict with certainty what the outcome of any of the foregoing might be. While the Company believes it is in substantial compliance with all laws, rules and regulations that affects its business and operations, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be subject to scrutiny or challenge under one or more existing laws or that any such challenge would not be successful. Any such challenge, whether or not successful, could have a material effect upon the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. A violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, for example, may result in substantial criminal and civil penalties, as well as suspension or exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Moreover, the costs and expenses associated with defending these actions, even where successful, can be significant. Further, there can be no assurance the Company will be able to obtain or maintain any of the regulatory approvals that may be required to operate its business, and the failure to do so could have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
