Item 7.01 – Regulation FD Disclosure
AdaptHealth Corp. (“AdaptHealth”) has learned that Linde Inc. and Lincare Inc. (collectively “Linde Group”) filed a lawsuit on August 14, 2023 in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut (the “Court”) against Crispin Teufel, a former Linde Group executive who was recently appointed as Chief Executive Officer of AdaptHealth effective September 1, 2023. The lawsuit seeks, among other things, to have the Court enjoin Mr. Teufel from commencing employment with AdaptHealth for an unspecified period of time while Linde Group seeks protection of its confidential information and trade secrets. The lawsuit does not name AdaptHealth as a defendant.
AdaptHealth has contractually prohibited Mr. Teufel from disclosing or using any confidential or proprietary information belonging to Linde Inc. or Lincare Inc. in connection with his employment at AdaptHealth.
AdaptHealth is closely monitoring the lawsuit and any potential effect on Mr. Teufel’s start date.
