8. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings — On April 4, 2017, Randolph Pain Relief and Wellness Center (“RPRWC”) filed an arbitration demand with the American Arbitration Association (the “Arbitration”) seeking to arbitrate claims against MTBC, Inc. (“MTBC”) and MTBC Acquisition Corp. (“MAC”). The claims relate solely to services provided by Millennium Practice Management Associates, Inc. (“MPMA”), a subsidiary of MediGain, LLC, pursuant to a billing services agreement that contains an arbitration provision. MTBC and MAC jointly moved in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Chancery Division, Somerset County (the “Chancery Court”) to enjoin the Arbitration on the grounds that neither were a party to the billing services agreement. On May 30, 2018, the Chancery Court denied that motion and MTBC and MAC appealed. The Chancery Court ordered the Arbitration stayed pending the appeal.

On April 23, 2019, the Appellate Division reversed the Chancery Court’s ruling that MTBC is required to participate in the Arbitration and remanded the case for further proceedings before the Chancery Court on that issue. The Appellate Division upheld the Chancery Court’s ruling that MAC was required to participate in the Arbitration. The parties completed discovery in the remanded matter, and both MTBC and RPRWC filed cross-motions for summary judgement in their favor. On February 6, 2020, the Chancery Court denied RPRWC’s motion for summary judgment and granted MTBC’s motion for summary judgment, holding that MTBC cannot be compelled to participate in the Arbitration. RPRWC has informed MTBC that it does not intend to appeal the Chancery Court’s ruling and that it intends to move forward solely against MAC in the Arbitration. On March 25, 2020, the Chancery Court lifted the stay of arbitration relative to RPRWC and MAC.

RPRWC seeks compensatory damages of $6.6 million, plus costs, for MPMA’s alleged breach of the billing services agreement. RPRWC’s breach of contract and compensatory damages claims have not been the subject of the ongoing court proceedings, which have focused solely on whether RPRWC can compel MTBC and MAC to arbitrate its claim. Thus, RPRWC has not yet provided MTBC and MAC with information sufficient to enable them to estimate a range of possible losses that may arise from the Arbitration. MAC intends to vigorously defend against RPRWC’s claims. If ​RPRWC is successful in the Arbitration, MTBC and MAC anticipate the award would be substantially less than the amount claimed.
