Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 2, 2010, PROS Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) and Harrah’s Operating Company, Inc. and Harrah’s Entertainment, Inc. (collectively, “Harrah’s”) entered into a comprehensive agreement to end all outstanding litigation between the parties (the “Settlement Agreement”). The Company has agreed to pay $9,000,000, which approximates the cash received by the Company related to the legal dispute, to Harrah’s as consideration for the settlement. Upon payment of this settlement amount, the parties will submit the Settlement Agreement to the District Court for Clark County, Nevada for approval of the settlement and dismissal of the litigation.
Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement all parties agree to release their counterparts from all claims, whether or not a party knows such claims exist on the date of the Settlement Agreement. The Settlement Agreement also provides that Harrah’s must return or destroy all the Company’s software in its possession. Additionally, all agreements between the parties terminate upon execution of the Settlement Agreement.
The above description of the material terms of the Settlement Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the agreement, which is Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Further information regarding the disputes between the Company and Harrah’s that were resolved pursuant to the Settlement Agreement is set forth in Note 4: Commitments and contingencies, in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements of the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ending June 30, 2010, filed on August 5, 2010.
Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On September 2, 2010, the Company issued a press release announcing that it has settled its sole legal dispute and updated the Company’s third quarter 2010 GAAP financial expectations to reflect the settlement. The settlement will result in a third quarter 2010 pre-tax charge to operating income of $5.3 million, of which $3.1 million will be a reduction of revenue and $2.2 million will be an expense. Included in the $5.3 million third quarter charge are anticipated legal fees of $1.2 million reduced from $1.4 million previously estimated. The cash settlement totals $9.0 million, which approximates the cash received by the Company related to the legal dispute. The Company will no longer incur legal fees associated with this litigation.
As a result of the settlement, GAAP revenue in the third quarter is anticipated to be $15.1 million to $15.5 million and non-GAAP revenue remains unchanged at $18.2 to $18.6 million. After consideration of the associated tax benefit from the settlement of the litigation, the Company is anticipating a GAAP net loss in the third quarter of 2010 of $3.4 million to $3.7 million and GAAP loss per share of $0.13 to $0.14.
The Company’s previously issued non-GAAP income from operations and non-GAAP earnings per shares estimates remains unchanged at $1.8 million to $2.2 million and $0.04 to $0.05, respectively. The press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
