Item 8.01. Other Events

 

OSI Systems, Inc. (the “Company”), and its subsidiary Rapiscan Systems, Inc. (“Rapiscan”), have been notified that the Suspension and Debarment Official of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) has issued a Notice of Proposed Debarment (the “Notice”) in connection with a “show cause” letter from the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (“TSA”) received by Rapiscan in November 2012 (the “Show Cause Letter”).  The Show Cause Letter related to the Rapiscan Secure 1000SP Advanced Imaging Technology system and associated Automated Target Recognition software (the “Products”).  The Company understands that the Notice alleges that Rapiscan failed to disclose a defect with the Products and replaced hardware in the Products without being granted proper governmental approval.

 

The Company believes the allegations are not well founded, and believes that with respect to all issues raised in the Show Cause Letter Rapiscan has complied with its contractual obligations and has served as a responsible vendor to TSA.  The Company has yet to receive the Notice, and has not had the opportunity to review it.  However, the Notice would be the initial formal communication between the Company and the Suspension and Debarment Official, and the Company would subsequently be entitled to demonstrate its compliance with its obligations.  The Company is informed that, following such procedures, one of three outcomes is possible: (i) DHS could withdraw the proposed Notice; (ii) Rapiscan and DHS could enter into an administrative compliance agreement; or (iii) debarment.

 

As per applicable federal regulations, while a company is under notice of proposed debarment, there are restrictions on its ability to seek and/or accept additional federal government contracts or subcontracts.  Rapiscan would continue to fully honor and deliver to ongoing government contracts and subcontracts.  Receipt of the Notice would not affect other contractual relationships between the government and the Company or the Company’s other subsidiaries.
