In April 2012, R. Scott Tobin, a former officer of the Company, filed suit in a Georgia state court against Stephen D. Barnhill, M.D., alleging that Dr. Barnhill had made defamatory statements about Mr. Tobin. Dr. Barnhill, through his counsel, has removed the action to federal court and has filed an answer denying Mr. Tobin’s allegations. On October 24, 2012, Dr. Barnhill filed a third party complaint against the Company seeking indemnity from the Company for any expenses incurred by Dr. Barnhill in the defense of the Tobin lawsuit and for any damages assessed against Dr. Barnhill in the litigation.
