As previously disclosed, on September 23, 2015, a jury verdict was returned against ACI Corp., a subsidiary of ACI Worldwide, Inc. (the Company), for $43.8 million in connection with counterclaims brought in a lawsuit involving BHMI, Inc. (BHMI) in the District Court of Douglas County, Nebraska. BHMI asserted counterclaims alleged to arise out of ACI Corp.s filing of its lawsuit, and on September 23, 2015, the jury found for BHMI on its counterclaims and awarded $43.8 million in damages. On January 5, 2016, the court entered a judgment against ACI Corp. for $43.8 million for damages and $2.7 million for attorney fees and costs. ACI Corp.s appeal from the dismissal of its claims against BHMI and the judgment in favor of BHMI on its counterclaims was denied on June 9, 2017. A one-time expense associated with the adverse judgment, including post-judgment interest, will be reflected in the Companys results of operation for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.
